Bad Friday Focus: The Jezabels

Answered by: Sam Lockwood

What's your history with Bad Friday - have you been before or will this be your first time? What were your experiences or what are you expecting? Never have been before, but I'm a Marrickville/Enmore/Stanmore native so I'm very excited to be playing a festival in a familiar location. I'm expecting to be impressed by the bands playing. I seriously love every artist on the line-up.

Have you played at many block party gigs? How does it compare to a gig in a standard venue? We've done a few over the years. They certainly have a good energy. They are a bit anarchic in a good way. We'll see how this one goes.

Do your Easters normally get off to as rockin' a start as Bad Friday? I can't say they do. But change is good.

Will hot cross buns and chocolate eggs be requested on your rider for the day? Our rider consists of the ingredients one needs to make a salad sandwich. That's all we allow ourselves so we can stay healthy and perform at a peak level. No buns or chocolate eggs as they would weigh us down.

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? I will be there as early as possible and will certainly stay to the end. I'll be hanging out with friends watching music. I must reiterate I really like every band on the line-up so I'll be in heaven.

What time are you playing at Bad Friday? I'm not sure actually. Hopefully after the sun goes down.
