1. Are you happy how things have gone for the band so far?
Yeah so far so good, each day is better than the last with more and more shows and people getting into us and some radio showing some interest.
2. What inspires the band when writing music?
Hard to say, inspiration can come at the most random or inconvenient time like at work or while on the train. But if I’m writing at home, its usually a few glasses of wine that gets it going.
3. What is your latest song about?
It’s still in the early stages of finishing the music, so the lyrics are mainly gibberish until we find the melody, and then its usually gibberish and contradictions anyway.
4. What do you like about touring?
We haven’t really toured yet. We’ve only done a few regional shows. Being out on the road is a pretty good feeling though, load the van with 4 dudes and a loaded esky sounds like a pretty good time to us.
5. How important you is touring regional alongside touring the cities?
Some of those regional shows can get crazy some times! They aren’t as spoiled for bands like we are in the city, so if they really like you, they go nuts at the gig and then want to party really hard with you after. Treat you like family.
6. What has been your favorite show to date?
I had a blast at our EP launch last week, Public Bar has always been good to us, its actually where we started the band, but the pub was packed and everybody was singing along and jumping about, got real rowdy!
7. How does social media help you as a band?
Everybody lives out of their phones these days checking facebook and whatever every few minutes so its the easiest way to connect with people and I can do it at any time of the day.
8. How important is connecting with your fans?
You’ve got to, without them we’re nothing, it’s just four dudes jerking off without them.
9. If you could have any body in a video clip who would it be?
It would have to be Bill Murray, that guy slays me.
10. What does 2014 have in store for the band?
Hopefully we are going to hit the road over the next few months and head up the coast to play with some mates in Byron Bay and the Bold Coast. Play as much as we can here in Melbourne, and hopefully find some studio time in there somewhere to record a few ideas we’ve been toying with and hopefully get this film clip finally sorted!
