Have You Heard: Planet Of The 8s

Answered by: Justin Cruickshank

When did you start making music and why? When I was about 14 I learnt my first riff on the electric guitar. Coincidentally, puberty was in full effect. You do the math.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Face melting, ass shaking.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Kyuss' Welcome To Sky Valley, because have you heard it?! And because for me it's the epitome of desert/stoner rock and that's what I'm into most at the moment.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Playing to a huge crowd supporting Grinspoon and Machine Gun Fellatio at Surfest, after which we 'borrowed' Grinspoon's rider, which they replaced with a new case hidden in their kick drum; we found that one too.

Why should people come and see your band? Because catchy riffs, enormous grooves, epic guitar solos, sick drums and sexy vocals a good night maketh.

When and where are your next gigs? 27 Jan & 10 Mar, The Brunswick Hotel; 10 Feb, Whole Lotta Love.
