BIGSOUND 2016 Artist Focus: West Thebarton Brothel Party

Answered by: Ray Dalfsen

Hometown: Adelaide, South Australia

Give us a short description of your music: Monolithic garage punk freakouts to readjust your cerebellum and make you quit your day job.

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Hearing a sea of punters singing your lyrics back to you, in your favourite pub, on your favourite weekend of the year, with your favourite bartender skipping work to stand on a barstool to watch.

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? With 'party' in our band name, I like to think the industry definition of 'party' is a photo of us at 5am.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? We want to be finally confident enough to approximate our music and realise that we're not our own biggest fans. Learning to take a compliment is the toughest skill to be learnt.

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at the BIGSOUND showcase? Unity Floors, Flowertruck, Alex Lahey, A.B. Original, Terrible Truths, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Good Boy, Mere Women and These New South Whales.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? There's a 50% chance you'll hear the next Australian national anthem and a 100% chance you'll go home a better, more efficient lover. It's courageously chaotic and chaotically courageous.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 8 Sep, 9.40pm, The Empire Hotel.
