Have You Heard: Elko Fields

Answered by: Kella Vee

Role: Guitar and vocals

How long have you been together? Since around this time last year. We released our first single Cough It Up last week, so not long at all really.

Which Brisbane bands before you have been an inspiration? There are so many Brisbane bands killing it right now and there's such a strong history of punk and garage rock here, it's impossible to say… The scene itself is inspiration for us.

What part do you think Brisbane plays in the music you make? I'm not sure that it does. Brisbane brought us together, but our music takes its cues from elsewhere.

Is your band responsible for more make-outs or break-ups? Why? We take no responsibility for your personal affairs, but like to think that you could do both to our music.

What's in the pipeline for the band in the short term? We're playing a bunch of local shows, including the BIGSOUND party in September. We also have a couple of film clips and our debut record coming out over the next few months.

When and where are your next gigs? 5 Aug, Woolly Mammoth; 14 Aug, The Triffid; 7 Sep, BIGSOUND Party, Greaser Bar.
