1.Growing Up
Mum and Dad never played music themselves but always loved and encouraged listening at home growing up. Dad showed me heaps of tunes like The Beach Boys, Santana, Carole King and The Beatles, which I’ve always been thankful for. All the guys’ parents are legends and they have helped us heaps along the way.
2.Inspirations
John, Paul, George and Ringo.
3.Your Band
The Rumies are Pencil, Red Ted, Gilligan’s Island and Sloppy. We have all been friends for years and play music together in the studio we built. We like fishing, surfing and playing b-ball. Pencil has three chickens.
4.The Music You Make
We just finished our debut record. It’s a collection of tracks that we recorded up at Sloppy’s farm near Byron Bay. We got our friend Rohin Brown (Angus Stone, The Walking Who) to come and produce it and we think it sounds real nice. We then gave it to our other friend Wade Keighran (The Scare, Wolf & Cub) to mix it. He made it sound even nicer.
5.Music, Right Here, Right Now
Main Beach are really cool. That’s why we got them to come join us at The Standard Bowl on October 17. Our old friends The Walking Who are killing it too.
Catch them alongside Main Beach atThe Standard BowlonFriday October 17.
