We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files, however we don’t like regurgitating press releases or asking the easy questions. No-one gets out of the Tone Deaf Inquisition lightly, so just hold still, grit your teeth, clench your buttocks and be still while we put on the rubber gloves, apply the thumbscrews, and pull out our thermometer while you open up and say ahhhhhhhhhhh… Truthful answers only or we drink your rider while you’re on stage.
Everyone joins or forms a band to get laid. If your band represents your sex life are you Casanova or spending plenty of time doing the five knuckle shuffle?
The five knuckle shuffle is an important part of any balanced sex life. I like to fuck too, maybe we can do both this Sunday at Cherry, it’s a pretty long day.
We don’t want to know about the painfully hip bands your press release says you’re influenced by. Take us back to your bedroom when you were 14. What band posters did you have on the wall?
Hoodoo Gurus, INXS, The Doors, Hendrix which were all next to my boogie boarding posters. I think Larry Bird on up there somewhere too.
What’s been your worst gig and why are you glad there’s no footage of it on Youtube … yet?
With Dynamo I played on the pilot of a ‘Perfect Match’ styled TV game show called “Get It Right” in 2000.It was absolutely dreadful and never made it into production. I used to wear lots of polyester In those days and we had to smile the whole way through it even though we weren’t getting paid. Some one must have that footage.
Tomorrow’s payday, so we’ve only got $20 to get you drunk. Where do we go and what do we buy with it?
Foodworks Supermarket, Queensberry St North Melbourne: Six pack Tecate cans ($11), Brown Bros Tawny Port ($7) Cheese Supreme Doritos ($1.99 when on special)
We’ve been looking in the $2 bin at Dixons Recycled and also bidding on eBay – what releases are we looking for there that your band has put out?
“Her Night” CD, “Ivy Climbing” 7” EP, “Angel of Sorrow” 7”
Suppose we put a gun to your head and force you to kiss a member of another Australian band. Who, which band and why?
Cris Wilson, Warped/Legends of Motorsport, because he’s got strong hands and he’ll pay for the Tecate, Tawny Port and Cheese Supreme Doritos.
You’re playing at Cherryrock 010. Everyone’s had a pretty wild night out at Cherry over the last 10 years. What happened on your wildest night – that we can print?
Some fuckwit threw a tray of pot glasses at a bar manager when I DJ’d one Wednesday night. I went home.
The Bowers play Cherry Rock 010 this Sunday May 2nd in Melbourne.
If you haven’t already get your hand on some tickets from Moshtix
