Have You Heard: Gabriella Cohen

"I can't not make music; I think it's a feeling that will keep coming and only needs to be relinquished through melodies."

More Gabriella Cohen Gabriella Cohen Profile

When did you start making music and why? I discovered my dad's Tascam when I was 11 and began to record songs. I can't not make music; I think it's a feeling that will keep coming and only needs to be relinquished through melodies.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Sounds like coma pop.

If you could support any band in the world — past or present — who would it be? The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan or The Strokes.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? That's a huge question. I don't think I can give you an answer there. But perhaps I would say Loaded by The Velvet Underground, because every song has a feeling I want to feel. 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Ha! If I catch myself thinking about rock'n'roll I don't think it's pure… But playing at Panama Festival in Tasmania was very cool...

Why should people come and see your band? We're about to move to Melbourne for a slow motion tour so you may not catch us for a while!

When and where for your next gig? The Foundry, 9 Oct for BRISBABES.
