1. Your Profile
We kind of sound like Funkadelic, but not really. We all generally go for what feels good in regards to the music we make. We formed in high school then expanded to the five we are now.
2. Keeping Busy
Bin Juice have been pretty busy lately. We haven’t put out any music in nearly a year so we thought it might be time. We’ve been hovering around Ben Worsey’s (who is a legend) Everland Studios recording some songs for a future EP. However, in more immediate news, this month we are releasing an EP we recorded at our drummer’s house in July. We’ve got a nice string of shows to support it in Sydney, Newy and Wollongong too, which makes us happy. We plan to release an episodic set of six EPs in the style of the Star Wars saga (four, five, six, one, et cetera).
3. Best Gig Ever
The best gig we ever played would have to be five years ago when we played at Tegan Wickenden’s place with all our friends in Newport. We played a cover of ‘Yertle The Turtle’ which I remember being particularly funny. The worst gig we’ve ever done was at a venue in Dee Why which has since closed but it was like playing in Mrs. McGonagall’s Oxfordshire library cafeteria. Sooo stale. Last week at the Lord Gladstone was also great fun. We played with King Colour and Gypsys Of Pangea and the floorboards were actually flexing with all the people jumping. There would have been some dusty beers below at the bar I think [laughs].
4. Current Playlist
We listen to a lot of different stuff. Recently it’s been Kamasi Washington (RIP Sydney show), Kendrick, Captain Beefheart, Drake, Herbie Hancock, Zeahorse, Dilla, Winston Surfshirt, Funkadelic, the Pixies (all the time), BadBadNotGood, Black Sabbath, OutKast and Michael Jackson. The last show we saw as a band was Hiatus Kaiyote at the Metro a couple months back. It was seriously good.
5. Your Ultimate Rider
Our ultimate rider would include heaps of ginger beer and a chess board. We’d also probably have some sort of meat platter (and feta cheese) and a Nintendo 64 with 1080° Snowboarding and Super Smash. A beer or two would be good.
