Nine food items that you need to make a kickarse dinner party:
Pizza, chilli, lemon, mock fried chicken, tots, gravy, Vietnamese rolls, celery, hummus.
Eight possessions that define you:
All black clothing, my Fender P-bass, its coffin case, my tattoos, black eyeliner, shades, Dead Joe guitar picks, and a book my fiancé designed for my birthday this year which has a lot of photos, my lyrics, other memories and successes from over the years.
Seven favourite movies/TV shows that go on your mixtape:
Fear and Loathing, The Empire Strikes Back, The Addams Family (B&W original), The Nightmare Before Christmas, The OC, American Psycho and Bad Santa.
Six bad habits you can’t escape:
Past problems with alcoholism and drug use, nicotine, caffeine, high carb foods and looking up pictures of Danzig for hours.
Five people who inspire you:
Danzig, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, Jeffree Star, RiFF RAFF.
Four things that turn you on:
Art, bottoms, the tears of my enemies and tight jeans.
Three goals for your music:
To tour outside of Australia, for my career to keep going so it’s socially acceptable to be a drunk, and to write more evolved songs.
Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:
Dead Joe played with the Misfits last time they came to Adelaide. Even though it’s not the original lineup, it was such an amazing experience. And Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds on the Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! tour.
One day left before the apocalypse and you…:
Pull up a seat with a good view, next to my fiancé and just watch the world burn.
DEAD JOE are playing at Whole Lotta Love on Friday December 4 before hitting up The Brunswick Hotel for Nevermind The Warp’d Tour 2015.
