Have You Heard: Housemate Of Mine

Answered by: Ian Gribbin

When did you start making music and why? I started pretty late compared to most musos, around age 21. My mate started playing guitar and I had played drums as a kid, so we just started jamming. I haven't stopped since. 

Sum up your musical sound in four words: Progressive Aus stoner rock.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Very tough one. Something For Kate's Leave Your Soul To Science. It has so many cool and interesting elements. Production, tones, song-craft, Dempsey's lyrics and vocals - that album has it all for me. 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Not that rock'n'roll I guess, but it would be making out with my wife-to-be on stage in front of every person from my hometown Gunning (NSW) while winding up a cover of INXS' Never Tear Us Apart.

Why should people come and see your band? We're a blend of my favourite bands: Something For Kate, Incubus, Powderfinger, Radiohead... if you like them you might like us!

When and where are your next gigs? 18 Jan, The Gasometer Hotel.
