Q&A: The Morning Night

Define your genre in five words or less:
Landscape art pop from Perth.

When's the gig and with who?
We're launching our debut album Otis in Melbourne on Friday May 18 at the Worker's Club with Jill Birt and Alsy McDonald. We've got some great local supports in Lowtide, Dirt Farmer and Rain Party. We're then jetting to Sydney to do the same on Sunday.

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
We all grew up listening to great Australian bands like The Triffids, The Go-Betweens and The Church.

What makes you happiest about what you're doing? 
Playing music allows you to meet so many new friends, and it keeps us off the streets.

What's your favourite song, and why?
I Want To Conquer You by David McComb. It's beautiful passionate song.

How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments?
We get up in the morning and then we do music.
