When, where and how did the band come
together
The year was 1997 and to make a long story short, me and jordan
met the first day he moved to my town we played songs together.
Jordan quit my band and joined Ian's band , which later on kicked
their guitar player out and got me. We were all fans of the band
Shai Hulud and we would pile up and sing along with Chad who i later
found out wanted to play guitar in a band so we stole him. we needed
a drummer And Cyrus magically flew in on a magic carpet the end.
Best description of your sound to
someone who is yet to hear you would be...
PunkRockwithSoulandBreakdowns
Someone who isn't too familiar with
your stuff, which release would you suggest they start with?
Sticks and Stones or Catalyst
What is your latest release, give
it a plug, tell us about it.
We just put out "the tip of the Iceberg" EP on Bridge 9 records
We went back to our roots with 3 originals , and 3 covers of bands
that inspired us which include "No Reason Why" by Gorilla Biscuits
Favourite song to play live.. and
why?
Understatement has always been a favorite of mine to play, from
start to finish the crowd is always involved
If you could go back in time and write
any one song.. what would it be.....
If i could go back in time i would definitely want to write the
Super Mario Bros. theme song that is the catchiest jingle i've ever
heard in my life.
Most memorable moment / best achievement
with the band to date would be...
Probably when we toured the world with Green Day when American Idiot
came out.
Have you toured with any of the Soundwave
bands before? If so, give us a quick story...
We've Toured with Less than Jake alot, and they are probably the
most fun ...one time they had a bar on stage for cyrus' birthday
and everyone from the tour was drinking on the side of the stage
feeding him drinks (maybe too many)
Which bands on the Soundwave lineup
are you most likely to be found partying with after the show?
i think this is a trick question... is this where everyone who does
this interviewee drops all of their friends names ? i will not succumb...
except maybe for Trent Reznor , he's my homeboy
Who in your band is the party animal?
Give us a quick story on antics of the past..
Ian is a Freaking Party animal , one time he pooped in a Bowl and
put it in the other bands dressing room!
You have been to Australia before,
what's the memory most stuck in your mind...
Hungry Jacks and Captain Snooze are always on my mind
Thing you are most looking forward
to about coming to Australia this summer?
the Crowds for sure , some of the best shows ever have happened
here.
Is there anything you "just have to
do" while you are in Australia?
I have to stop using my fake aussie accent it sucks !
If the rider fairy was to grant you
one wish, what would be awaiting you backstage at the festival..
A huge can of Vegemite!
You should catch us when we play Soundwave
because....
All of your friends will be...
Any Final words....
Thank you to all of the NFG CREW! |
