Current Release:
Social Disease
What’s your favorite work at this point in time?
G- My favorite would be the new EP Social Disease we put a lot of time and effort into that recording and concentrated on better song writing.
P- Recording our song World Insane on our new EP Social Disease. The more spontaneous the recording the better it turns out I think. This was done in two takes with the three of us just plugging in and going for it.
Tell us a quick, on the road or studio, anecdote.
G- When we were recording the song Harmony from the first EP. We were missing a verse from the song. I got down on the floor in the vocal booth with pen and paper and wrote out the words to the last verse as Phil was putting the vocal track down. I held the paper up and he sang them.
P- What Grahame said. The spontaneous thing again for me! That was one take and it was the song that got some airplay on Triple J.
What, or who, inspires you?
G- Musically because I am the drummer Stewart Copeland, Dave Lombardo, Dave Grohl inspire me. In life, my son inspires me every day to be a better person.
P- Anyone who gets up and has a go I think. I like listening to songs and how they are structured and where song writers take them. Two of my favourites are Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam). They write their own rules in a way. Things that shouldn’t fit together, they make them work.
Which song do you wish you wrote?
G- That is a hard question to answer there are so many how do you pick just one? -The Police So Lonely, Live Forever Oasis
P- Stand In Line by Midnight Oil. Seeing this song played live is something to behold. The power and energy is unlike any song I’ve seen before.
How would you describe your sound in food form and why?
G- I would say it is a tasty spiced up butter chicken
P- Burrito, tasty, flavoursome with a bit of spice
What’s next for you?
G- Hopefully we get some radio airplay and we can somehow get someone to book some gigs for us to support the release of the new EP.
P- Playing some gigs and having fun.
What’s your scene?
G- My scene is work and then spending as much time with my wife & son on the weekends as possible.
P – Music, family and friends. Friendly interesting people.
