1. What was the first band you saw live?
Frenzal Rhomb at my local roller rink called froggys – I couldn’t hear properly for three days after it…it was the beginning of the end for my hearing … WEAR EARPLUGS!!
2. What’d you learn from them?
Not to take things too seriously. It’s only rock n’ roll.
3. Got any pre-gig rituals?
I like to be at the venue a few hours before the show…I need at least a 3 hour window between eating and playing…and I also like to have stage clothes to change into.
4. What do you think is the most important issue affecting Music in NSW is today?
I guess Morons who move next door to a venue then complain about the noise.. it would be like me moving next to the ocean and complaining about the sound of the ocean…and more locally speaking Money…I like to eat but it gets hard sometimes.
5. If you werent a musician what do you reckon you’d be doing?
I don’t really like hypotheticals…but if I must play…making something with wood? Probably guitars or recording bands and the like.
