Four things that turn you on:
When the band is in the pocket, discovering good music amongst a digital marketplace of overcrowded junk, finding $20 in your jacket, breasts a la natural.
Three goals for your music:
Make ten records, play Splendour In The Grass, and headline shows overseas
Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:
The first time we played to a packed house at Rad in Wollongong. The vibe was insane and the audience is right in your face. And probably the first time I saw Violent Soho about seven or so years ago playing to like 20 people at The Harp Hotel. I got to hang out with the band after the show and got so drunk I kept repeating questions to them.
One day left before the apocalypse and you…:
Turn all my amps on 10, riff out and party hard. When’s the gig/release? Our new album Death Rattle is out now through Bandcamp, iTunes and all digital stores.=
