Who are we chatting to and what do you do in the band? Reece and I play drums and sing. I also tend to do most of the lugging of our gear.

What do you reckon people will say you sound like? We play simple songs that are short and fast and don’t do guitar solos. The three of us share the singing duties and give vocal harmonies a bit of a nudge. That’s our schtick. One reviewer used the term “ear-cleaning punk”.

 

What do you love about making music? The entire process. Spending time mucking around on a guitar plucking riffs out of the ether, elaborating on vocal phrasings, demoing and sending them to the rest of the band. Then trimming away the fat with the other two guys in our rehearsal space. 

What can a punter expect from your live show? Usually there isn’t a lot of talk between us and the audience. We pretty much belt through our set in 35 minutes or so and get off stage.

What’ve you got to sell CD-wise? Not much. We have Wasty Tasty on12-inch 180g vinyl, either standard black or a limited pink and black run. There might be a few copies in CD format kicking around throughout the earlier part of the tour but we mainly have vinyl. We still a have few copies of our first release Down In Tango Zulu on 10-inch too.
