Artist/Band: Dr Piffle & The Burlap Band
Name: Alex Harris
How did you get together?: During travels together we started busking to eat and drink, then we came home and kept doing it. Some friends joined in and we became a band, it felt like the right thing to do.
Sum up your musical sound in four words?: Raggle, taggle, folk, punk.
If you could support any band in the world - past or present - who would it be?: Blackbird Raum - they are a street band from Santa Cruz. And they are the most prolific band of this generation.
You're being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album what would it be?: Blackbird Raum - Swidden.
Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date?: On a recent trip to Tasmania, we walked into MONA gallery with our instruments and asked to play. The music director was totally down and set us up a gig on the spot at the main bar.
Why should people come and see your band?: We play with the intensity of a hardcore band, but with folk instruments, and a bunch of bells and pots.
When and where for your next gig?: July 3 at The Bendigo Hotel, Collingwood, Melbourne, performing with Eaten By Dogs and debut show from Chores.
