Have You Heard: Drunk Mums

Answered by: Adam Ritchie

Single title? Ode To Death

What's the song about? Accepting death and associating problems with being an entity rather than a decision. Ain't that a party!?

How long did it take to write/record? The main riffs and lyrics were written in a day. We recorded a demo and added more elements after listening from an outsider's perspective before recording the final take. Five days spread over one year.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Yep, this track will be on our next EP, titled Denim, which is set for release later on in the year.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Musically; Rose Tattoo, Johnny Thunders, The Stooges. Lyrically, nothing in particular. It just kinda of came out before fine tuning a few things later on.

We'll like this song if we like... Sweet staggering rock'n'roll 

Do you play it differently live? A little bit, the recording has organ and piano, which we can't replicate live. We also have a guest appearance by the Reaper himself.

When and where is your launch/next gigs? 12 Aug, The Tote; 15 Aug, The Zoo; 18 Aug, The Chippo Hotel; 19 Aug, Rad Bar, Wollongong.
