Have You Heard: I Am Duckeye

"There's a real 'anything could happen' vibe at the shows."

Answered by: Sam Haycroft

When did you start making music and why? Many years ago our dad said The Rolling Stones wrote all the riffs. My brother Matt and I defied him with a song called The Riff — it's pretty great. 

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Loud riffs, damp Sean.

If you could support any band in the world — past or present — who would it be? The Melvins. 

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Nirvana — Nevermind. It never gets old. 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Our bassist once rode a mini-bike onto stage. He also split some guy's face open with his head; he said it was the best thing ever.

Why should people come and see your band? We'll win you over with our riffs, and there's a real 'anything could happen' vibe at the shows. 

When and where for your next gig? 26 Sep at The Tote with some of our favourite bands and best friends!
