Speed Date with Joel Griffith from Them Bruins

2.Keeping Busy

We’ve mainly been tending to the family farm – we all live on a collective farming estate west of Melbourne where we raise miniature Scandinavian elk for the amusement of people driving to and from Adelaide. We’ve also been writing three new songs, three of which turned out to be other people’s songs, for which we got several frightening letters. We’re now on the run/touring the east coast before the winter festivus.

3.Best Gig Ever

The best gig we’ve played would have to be the Manly Boatshed back in ’13. The place was packed for hours prior with beautiful half-nude nubile fans who screamed their heads off to our onslaught of riffs. We had to be escorted out. It was a dream gig! Actually, it was an actual dream. Manly Boatshed was the worst show we’ve played – to two people, one of which was there to get directions on how to get away from us. We did have to be escorted out. That much is true.

4.Current Playlist

Look up Neighbourhood Youth. Those guys made me wanna quit music and the elk farming last week.

5.Your Ultimate Rider

We’re usually happy with cooking cocoa and two space blankets between four. Tim Bruin is always asking venues for his sense of self-respect back. If he could actually get it one of these days I think we’d all agree we’d reached our ultimate rider dreams.
