Have You Heard: Dave Stevens & The Badlands

Answered by: Dave Stevens

When did you start making music and why? I started making music in high school, playing in bands and writing songs. After school I moved to Melbourne to do a music degree where I met the guys that I started this project with.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Spacious rock'n'roll.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? I've been a massive Pink Floyd fan as long as I can remember and I reckon their album Wish You Were Here has to be my favourite of all time.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? One of our first gigs was at the Evelyn Hotel in 2015 and I decided to jump off the stage during a guitar solo. Getting back onto the stage to finish the song was the hard part.

Why should people come and see your band? We put a lot into our shows, we try and cover a lot of ground sonically and have high energy performances.

When and where are your next gigs? 16 Feb, The Brunswick Hotel.
