Bad Friday Focus: Scabz

Answered by: Siobhan Poynton

What's your history with Bad Friday - have you been before (either as performer or punter) or will this be your first time? What were your experiences or what are you expecting? We played last year and it was hectic. First time we'd seen West Thebarton Brothel Party play as well, which started our band crush with them.

Have you played at many block party gigs? How does it compare to a gig in a standard venue? Our first few gigs were house parties, which is probably the closest thing to a block party we've played. There were lots of injuries though, so hopefully that doesn't happen at Bad Friday.

Do your Easters normally get off to as rockin' a start as Bad Friday? Loz and I are both bartenders so usually it's a few days of chasing those sweet, sweet penalty rates after Bad Friday. 

Will hot cross buns and chocolate eggs be requested on your rider for the day? Nah, Lara is vegan.

Do you plan to hang out for the entire day or only be there for your set? What do you think you'll get up to? Well, we are on first and love all the bands playing so will be there all day stealing everyone else's beer when they're on stage.

What time are you playing at Bad Friday? First! 12. Early!
