Have You Heard: Greeves

Answered by: Leonard Barker

When did you start making music and why? Michael and myself have been playing together since we were 15... Original music has been our focus since then, and when Greeves formed in 2012 it gave us a unified sound to aim for.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Old school prog rock.

If you could support any band in the world — past or present — who would it be? Crosby Stills Nash & Young. Man, I would just sit there with my mouth open while they sing... Incredible.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Comfort Woman by Me'shell Ndegeocello. I know we sound nothing like this but, man... When I graduated uni, I sat in my room for ten days straight and clocked up around 150 listens to it.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Mike and I were playing a show in Fremantle back in 2011 and these two enormous brothers started a brawl because one of them slept with the other's partner. Glasses were thrown and we didn't know whether to stop. We didn't.

Why should people come and see your band? Each tune flows into the next. Big guitar solos, recurring melodies and I get to chop out on the drums!

When and where for your next gig? 22 Aug at The Catfish with Pentacoastal and Millar Jukes. We are unveling our new merch too!
