Have You Heard: Muscle Car

Answered by: Damo "Musclecar" Hughes

When did you start making music and why? The band started in Adelaide in 1998 after seeing The Hellacopters live. We just wanted to play a hard and fast style of rock'n'roll that we weren't hearing in Adelaide when we formed.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Ramones meets Motorhead.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Probably Ramones Mania by Ramones, or Fishing For Luckies by The Wildhearts, or Payin' The Dues by Hellacopters, or No Remorse by Motorhead, or Love Is A Battlefield Of Wounded Hearts by Hard-Ons, or...

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Opening for Alice Cooper and Motley Crue at Rod Laver Arena on their farewell tour, not once, but twice. Kinda hard to top that feeling of walking out on that stage, hearing the crowd scream "POODLE!" and then rockin' LAMF.

Why should people come and see your band? Because we are good at what we do, we have fun doing it, and we have Dave Poodle on bass.

When and where are your next gigs? 3 Mar, The Brunswick Hotel. Birthday Show with The Shockwaves, Direblaze, Jerkbeast, and Ben Gel & The Boneyard Saints.
