1.Your Profile
We are a rock band who like to make music with big choruses and harmonies – music to drive with a shotgun across your lap to.
2. Keeping Busy
We finished making our debut record, amorously titled The Law Of Romance, last year and since then have been prepping it for its release into the wild. We just pressed a seven-inch double A-side single of ‘Can’t Get Home’ and ‘Roadhouse Love’, which are also out on the various digital mediums presently. These are the first singles off the record and the first releases for the band too. We’re looking forward to playing a few shows!
3. Best Gig Ever
We have done a single show with the band’s current lineup, at Frankie’s late last year, and that was a fine old boogie and by definition has to be both the best and the worst show we have ever played. We will definitely have a better idea of this when we do our next show as unless it is the same exactly as the last, it might be a little bit better or even worse than the last one. Actually I think our next show is at Frankie’s too. So maybe we still won’t know.
4. Current Playlist
We are all massive Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers fans, so a bit of that for sure. Throw in some Steve Miller (say, the second side of the record named Number 5) and The La’s too – all these guys know how to write a tune! Never too far away from the play button are 13th Floor Elevators, Vanilla Fudge and The Byrds. Maybe some Booker T. and The M.G.’s. Luther Dickinson’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Blues is a great stripped-back record by a prodigiously talented dude. Elliott turned me onto Jonathan Wilson’s Fanfare album which is definitively epic in its dimensions.
5. Your Ultimate Rider
Anything and everything Japanese. High class settings with fresh pressed suits for after the show. Boutique beers, Jameson whiskey, a nice bottle of red for Andrew (usually opened well before he gets to it). Egyptian cotton towels, Chicken Crimpies and large rolling papers, standard issue.
Hush Honey play Frankie’s Pizza n Thursday February 11, then theBotany View Hotel on Saturday February 13.
