Tell us a quick, in the studio or on-the-road anecdote.
Ā
l was on tour in Brisbane and walking across the Storey bridge, a little lost, trying to find my hotel. Ā l noticed a guy hanging off the side of the bridge about to jump. l asked him for directions, we had a little chat, cops arrived, l left him to it.
What, or who, inspires you to create?
Ā
Cinema, a bus ride, a six pack, it depends.
Which song do you wish you wrote?
Ā
Happy Birthday.
Ā
What’s next for you?
Ā
lād like to release a lot of material over the next twelve months, lād really like to get to WA weāve had some great radio support there.
What’s your scene?
It’s a rather nerdy one, reading science fiction, watching robot wars and talking with my cat Murphy. Ā Something indoors and lm usually content.
