1. What Do You Look For In A Band?
We’re not fussy. If we were to give up the rock’n’roll lifestyle for another group to make an honest band out of us it would only take about a bottle of Jameson and a slab of ice-cold beer. Provided of course you all have an average IQ of at least 120, model looks (international model, not local shopping mall), and you must have your own car. And be willing to drive, any night, anywhere. Furthermore, poor grammar is real bad turn off for us thats’ not good. Also it would help to be female, but if not that’s OK too.
2. Keeping Busy
We’ve been systematically translating the full works of Aeschylus (using Google Translate) and then translating them back into Ancient Greek. For the other three to four months we have been concentrating maximum energy into being pretty sweet dudes. We’ve had a pretty good shot at making a bunch of babies too but no luck yet.
3. Best Gig Ever
It’s fortunate that we are certified time travellers – and we’re very proud to inform you that our shows in Sydney in September 2013 are the best shows we’ve had to date. Wasn’t that crazy? That guy did that thing and then it all happened and I swear we were all just standing there going, “How ’bout this, isn’t this the best gig we have ever played?” and it was in SYDNEY and WHAT A GREAT SET and everyone just loved it but it was funny that kinda when it was all over we felt like it was also our worst gig ever as well.

5. Your Ultimate Rider
Hand-stacked sandwiches. The kind you can leave in a pocket for a day or a week and still enjoy. Or find squashed in a case between a couple of cymbals and they still retain their integrity. And cheese. God, how did I forget cheese? I don’t care what kind of cheese it is but it must be plentiful. I would swap any amount of lukewarm beer for a nice plate of cheese and a quiet lie down.
Money For Rope plays Beach Road Hotel, Bondi on Thursday September 5, Bar On The Hill, Newcastle on Friday September 6 and Spectrum, Darlinghurst on Saturday September 7.
