Have You Heard: Flangipanis

Artist/Band: Flangipanis

Name: Jodie Flangipani

When did you start making music and why? Probably 4-7 years old. Because music is fucking awesome, every kid should have instruments of any kind. I'm not sure at what point it turns into "music", though.  I started making noise very early on.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Brisbane pop-punk drunk smut.

If you could support any band in the world - past or present - who would it be? Bloodhound Gang.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Archers of Loaf - The Speed of Cattle. Amazing live album, super nostalgic for me, and it'll take me forevermore to figure out, 1. What he's saying and 2. What the words mean once I know what they are.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? The slip-n-slide at POW supporting The Hard Ons, or drinking the Cosmic Psychos rider and getting to support them (twice!), or wearing a gaff-kini supporting The Dwarves. Or getting 4ZzZ's #1 spot the other year - that was fucking sweet.

Why should people come and see your band? It's fun, loud, clothes are optional, and it's OK to the be the most drunk and obnoxious you can be.

When and where for your next gig? DOW @ Jubilee Hotel 25/07; With SNFU @ Crowbar 14/08; Album Launch/4ZzZ Radiothon extravaganza @ Crowbar 22/08
