Hi there! Who are we speaking with and what do you do in your band?
I’m Lachlan from Horris Green. I play guitar and sing in our two-piece with James who drums.
Describe your sound in five words.
Heavy, thrashy, poppy, bluesy, rocky.
When and how did you form?
We were uni mates who were in different bands. I was in a psychedelic rock band and he was in a metal band – we both love Royal Blood and started by jamming to that.
How would you describe your experience in FReeZa’s Push Start Battle of the Bands competition so far?
It’s been incredible. We only started a couple of weeks before we played Ballarat – it’s incredible to think our little project was good enough to win.
Tell us about your journey. What or who do you believe helped you the most to get where you are?
It’s been such an unusual journey for us. We’re only a very new band and we had no intention of properly playing but we’re driven by that success and trying to better ourselves.
If you were to win the Grand Final, how would you spend the $11k grand prize?
It’d be handy to have that money for a tour, but having an EP professionally recorded is also on our minds.
What big goals do you have after the competition finishes?
We would love to jump on some more festival bills and meet more bands who we can network within the future.
HORRIS GREEN are performing at the FReeZa Push Start Battle of the Bands Grand Final at Moomba on Saturday March 7.
