Interview: 16 January 2012
Tell us about your music. How did you develop your sound?
It was all mostly experimenting with sounds and recording, i've always tried to get some kid of emotive content across by the texture or arrangement of the song so even if there were no lyrics you could feel something from the song.
You’re the Perth winners of our BIG DAY OUT competition. What can BIG DAY OUT revelers expect from The Growl live show?
Oh Lasers, confetti cannons, a BOUNCEY CASTLE on stage for each or us and im being dropped in from the roof like Robbie Williams at Knebworth.... I wish!!! It'll be 4 very overexcited twenty something year olds who've probably had too much to drink and been given far too much musical equipment.
What are you most looking forward to about the Perth BIG DAY OUT on Feb 5th? Who are you psyched to see?
Kasabian and Roskyopp
What are your earliest memories of seeing live Australian music?
I went to Yak It Up Festival in Perth when i was about 12 and saw Magic Dirt, but i was so into Limp Bizkit at the time i thought Adalita could have used a red NY hat 'backwards'.
What’s coming up for you in 2012?
Well i found out i have to have a route canal aaannnd my car rego is up so i gotta sort that out.... im moving house this week, but other than that we're putting out a 7" soon and an album in a couple of months too, so touring and recording for the most of it.
Australian music is…?
...severely underrated.
