How would you describe your music?
We’ve been called all sorts of things over the years – some good, some bad. A reviewer recently described us as “experimental noise punk.” That works for me.
Where did you record your LP, The Creatures Voice?
In North Perth at Cellar Sessions with Mr Max Ducker. We were one of the last bands to record with him in Perth before he relocated Cellar Sessions to Melbourne.
You’ve got Boris Sujdovic from Beasts of Bourbon on your new EP, how did you manage to tee that up?
Boris was at one of our shows the last time we played in Melbourne. After the show he laughed and said he wanted to “nick” my band, so when we supported The Scientists for their reunion show later in the year, we nicked him instead.
What’s the music scene like in Perth at the moment?
Too much neo-psych. Nah, kidding. Lots of great bands, not enough venues. My favourite newish acts are Rag n’ Bone, Yokohomos and Dust.
Apart from your three gigs this weekend, have you got anything else planned while you’re in Melbourne?
We’re going to do a few days recording at Cellar Sessions. Not sure yet whether we’ll do a couple of singles or get started on a new album.
