What’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band? I’m Robbie, I play guitar and (attempt to) sing in Reika.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?A mixture between Kings of Leon, The Strokes and The Village People.
What do you love about making music?It’s a one way ticket to free beer…and it’s a little cathartic
What do you hate about the music industry? It’s so bloody hard to crack.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be?Any of the members of War… because Low Rider.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?I know it’s two but Zayn and Taylor Swift, only because of the joint effort on their latest song I Don’t Wanna Live Forever. I have no control of the radio at work, and hearing that song 50,000 times a day makes me feel like I’m being assassinated.
What can a punter expect from your live show?Shoeys.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?We’ve still got loads of copies of our last EP The Other Night. Please buy them.
Any parting words?If you can out-skull our lead guitarist Bish at this gig, he said he’d buy you a beer.
