Short description of your band and your music: Loud, visceral, full of piss and vinegar.
Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? My wallet and liver say no, but all those precious, precious memories I've lost say yes.
What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Supporting Cold Chisel was a highlight, as were getting triple j's feature album and doing Like A Version. But the best is always filling a room at a headline show.
Are your ambitions mainly artistic or commercial? Commercial — I just know that when I can stand aboard my own yacht, I'll be happy. We're no artists.
Is your music best rendered in the studio or the live realm? Well, on record I don't forget lyrics or play too fast, but a record doesn't sweat on you, hug you or pour beer down your back.
If you could have any act past or present join you on your next tour who would you tap? The Hives.
