Ten bands everyone should know about:
The Beatles, The Smiths, The Beatles, Extortion, TLC, The Beatles, Ocean Party, Jesus and Mary Chain, Opeth, The Beatles (probably).
Nine food items that you need to make a kickarse dinner party:
If it’s that many items, it’s obviously a platter. I platter pretty hard. We’re gonna need some cheeses, blue vein, maybe some sneaky brie. Crackers, for sure, probably water crackers, with black pepper if you’re feeling adventurous. Dips, definitely a 3 olive, can’t go wrong, and a chilli-red. Marinated olives (de-pitted), dolmades (egg-plant), and then just shitloads of whiskey.
Eight possessions that define you:
Fucking nothing, I find the concept rather sickening. Maybe some booze and a pocket knife, but that’s still a stretch.
Seven favourite movies/TV shows that go on your mix-tape:
Seinfeld for life, Arrested Development, Adventure Time, anything by Woody Allen or Charlie Kaufman or Michel Gondry and any film with Eddie Murphy.
Six bad habits you can’t escape:
Sarcastically answering interview questions, being a perpetual loser, smoking so much I can’t feel my arms and legs, washing my hair, leaving my hat on, constantly listening to Destiny’s Child.
Five people who inspire you:
Jesus Christ our lord and saviour, Larry David (of “Larry David” fame), Corey “party boy” Worthington, Stephin Merrit of the Magnetic Fields and the chick-chick-boom girl.
Four things that turn you on:
Correct grammar, excessive drinking, fair evasion on public transport and the homeless.
Three goals for your music:
Bring power to the people! Drink beer and make people suicidal.
Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:
My Bloody Valentine at all tomorrow’s parties and Christ Kiddo at the Ding Dong Lounge, because they are the best band on the planet. Their dick-cheese slices are epic.
One day left before the apocalypse and you…:
Do what I usually do: Drink a fair bit, think about getting out of bed and maybe eat a sandwich.
When’s the gig/release?
Jetting off for our US/EU tour next week, we’ll have a few local shows at the end of the year including one at The Shadow Electric with Palms on Saturday November 9, and a new album out in February!
