Have You Heard: Alduous Harding

How did you get your start? Would have been when Edwards (Ben) sat me down and started talking about doing an album in 2010. I was sort of playing around Lyttelton for nothing at that stage.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Oh, hey, look!‘Awful tired brain prayer?’ I don’t know if that’s right.

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? Elvis. Bowie would be so good to you after, though.

You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album – what would it be? Silent Passage – Ben Carpenter

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? Probably telling Justin Townes Earle that his new pin-up girl tattoo was weak, and he should call me.

Why should people come and see your band? I couldn’t possibly answer that.

When and where for your next gig? The Melbourne Folk Club (Bella Union, Carlton) with Rob Snarski on 1 Oct.
