Have You Heard: Civique

Aswered by: Brendan Ward

When did you start making music and why? I started drumming lessons at 12 because I wanted to sound better at bashing my parents' pots and pans. This ascended into guitar, followed by bass, piano and later the digital audio workstation, Reason.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Energetic, dark, explosive, emotional.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Apocalypso by The Presets for sure. That album brings me so much happiness. Listening to it turns me into an energetic beast, jumping around, head banging and shower singing in my best Frank Sinatra voice.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Playing to a packed-out Lansdowne Hotel after Nina Las Vegas in Sydney. It was a full moon and I played a midnight set. There were people on the stage with me going wild, grabbing my instruments and playing along. 

Why should people come and see your band? If you like pumping dark electronica with belting vocals, mixed with live drumming and keys, then this is your gig!

When and where are your next gigs?: 16 Feb, Evelyn Hotel.
