1.Your Profile
Sonically we move along the indie/punk rock spectrum with songs that are fast, angry and heavy and then songs that are slow, reflective and peculiar. Our usual crowd looks like angsty misfits of all ages and they’d be fans of Bikini Kill, The Hives, Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Dead Weather. You’re best to come see us live; we are an experience, that’s for sure. We’re about empowerment and claiming back the right to be pissed off.
2.Keeping Busy
The past three months have been a whirlwind for us. Since our triple j Unearthed Bigsound win, we have signed on with management and a booking agent. We’ve been playing a few shows but nothing too much until our tour in December.
3.Best Gig Ever
Our Bigsound set was pretty amazing, but nothing can top our one show at The Joynt (R.I.P.). The biggest mosh we’ve ever seen. Marie usually likes to jump in, but it was dangerous. For some bizarre reason some drunk dude screamed “STAIRWAY!” So we sang ‘Stairway To Heaven’ a capella with over 170 people. I don’t even know how it got to that, but we rolled with it. Elijah stage dived, it was mad fun. Worst show? Probably a few but most likely due to drunkenness, so of course I cannot recall.
4.Current Playlist
We recently discovered The Vasco Era (R.I.P.). Jesus, those dudes could crack a tune! Royal Blood, Wolf Alice and Modern Baseball’s new records are all pretty fucking solid. Locally, Rolls Bayce are pretty damn outstanding! Another standout would be Meg Mac – that girl is a superstar and a great songwriter.
5.Your Ultimate Rider
Scotch and craft beer and an angry crowd.
