Artist/Band: Mona Bay 

Name: Mona Bay

When did you start making music and why? All members have had music in their lives throughout. We came together towards the end of Year 12, hoping to hold on to our high school memories with the music we construct from it.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Garage, cathartic, guitar, drumz

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's everything rock is and is influential for a range of genres and expressions of music.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Becoming head chef at McDonald's eatery. 

Why should people come and see your band? We give them a chance to relive high school. We make them miss it rather than dismiss it.

When and where are your next gigs? Bendigo Hotel, 19 February; Brunswick Hotel, 28 February; Workers Club, 1 April; house parties until there ain't none left.
