Have You Heard: Cheers G'day

Answered by: Irina Strauss

When did you start making music and why? It was the summer of 2013. We were young and bored and Sam [Elliott] had a sound-proof basement in his sharehouse. It started as an excuse for afternoon beers and became something we now cherish.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Slow, dirty dream-pop.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? I would have to say Wild Nothing's Nocturne. The perfect blend of synth, catchy guitar riffs, angelic vocals and intelligent songwriting. It sounds like a summer afternoon, that's where I always want to be.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? We played The Northern in Byron with Screaming Females and were put up with free accommodation, an insane rider filled with bottles of whiskey and endless VB tinnies. We felt extremely appreciated.

Why should people come and see your band? We are nice people! We don't take ourselves too seriously and play easy-going pop music that you can sway to. 

When and where for your next gig? 13 Oct, Woolly Mammoth with our good mates Caroline and Nice Biscuit! It's a family affair. Free entry!
