Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:
1. Nathan Kearney playing in a basement behind Safeway in Bairnsdale. It was the first time he played solo. It was real raw, real rad and real sweaty.
2. Frenzal Rhomb at The Gov in Adelaide. A dude climbed on stage and stole Gordy’s drumsticks out of his hands mid song. Gordy parted the kit like Moses and spear tackled the dude into the crowd. Loose.
One day left before the apocalypse and you…
Make slow, deep, sensual love to Susan Sarandon. See you on the other side baby.
When’s the gig?
We are launching our EP White Water on Friday December 6 at Ding Dong Lounge.
