Have You Heard: Regular Gonzales

Name: Daniel Nikolic

When did you start making music and why? We formed around 2010. Our parents were in rockabilly bands and we all love rockabilly so we thought it’d be a fun thing to get into.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Super fun rockabilly time.

If you could support any band in the world  - past or present - who would it be? Stray Cats, easily!

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Laughin’ & Cryin’ With The Reverend Horton Heat, so much to that album. There are so many influences from different genres and it’s got a sense of humour. It’s a masterpiece!

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? We were supporting Flattrakkers and my bass’s bridge broke on stage mid-song. Matt from The Flattrakkers bought his bass out and we managed to swap over just in time for me to play the last few notes of the song.

Why should people come and see your band? Because we’re fun, hilarious and great to have a dance, a chat and a drink with!

When and where for your next gig? Rods & Rockabilly Festival at Hamilton Hotel, 21 Mar. We’re on from 10.30am.
