Have You Heard: Dylan Hartas & The Blues Martyrs

Have you heard of local band Dylan Hartas & The Blues Martyrs? No? Well, get to know them here.

Your music is…?
Alternative blues.

Which acts inspired you to produce your own music and why?
The list is so long. Draw a big scribble between John Lee Hooker and Billy Idol to get an idea. I'm lovin' the latest Black Keys album.

What's your wildest ambition for your music?
To find the secret combination of notes that simultaneously raises Bon Scott and Jimi Hendrix from the dead.

Why should we come and see you?
Because you will see someone bringing their best to the stage every time, doing what they love. I've put everything into this for as long as I can remember.

How do you find the local live scene?
By flicking through The Drum Media of course ha ha! I think the local Sydney scene is awesome, great bands and players of all genres any night of the week. It's a shame the banks and landlords don't go easier on venues.

What's your greatest rock'n'roll moment?
Meeting Faith No More in an airport toilet. Nuff' said!
