Nine food items that you need to make a kickarse dinner party:

“Cucumber. Vegetarian Not-Dogs. Body chocolate. Carrot. Edible lube. Dates. Devils cabbage. Shrooms. Ice.”

Eight possessions that define you

“My ADD left-handed guitarist bandmate, Goat Boy. Rusty national tri cone guitar. Holy Takamine acoustic guitar. Noisey, scratched, dinged Fuzz guitar pedal. Pushbike sporting a woven basket. School bus…now-come tour van. Instant ranga hair dye. Candles at night.”

Four things that turn you on:

“John Howard getting the rough end of the pineapple. God, French kissing Jesus. Fruit. Patti Labelle singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow.”

Three goals for your music:

“To be listened to… Love to be made all around the world to our tunes… A porn score…”

Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:

“Watching Susan Tedecshi in an amphitheatre in Cognac, France (which we also were lucky enough to have performed at) while 15,000 people watched on, not saying one word in between songs or during her show; it was ridiculously surreal.

Any person playing to a backing tracks/ because they’re a stooge-muppet-pelican-headed dud.”

One day left before the apocalypse and you…:

“Thank Aretha, of course.”
