Have You Heard: Sye McRitchie

"Perhaps my very own great moment is none other than to humbly finish a song… we simply must celebrate."

When did you start making music and why? At 17 years old, my mother offered my first three chords and used to sing me to sleep as a baby, with the sweetest most angelic voice in the universe, a path already paved… and a pleasant stroll indeed.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Punkfolk sykadelisious PopRocks avaintgaurdian.

If you could support any band in the world — past or present — who would it be? Beatles! Simply for their song craft and evolutionastical approach to mother music.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? The album in my own forever head.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Soooo maaaany man, from intimate pin drops, to stadiums melting me. Perhaps my very own great moment is none other than to humbly finish a song… we simply must celebrate.

Why should people come and see your band? Why not, my darlings, why not? Like so many of the others who are, I'm wonderful also...

When and where for your next gig? The Triffid and The Pineapple Lounge, 2 Dec; The Bearded Lady, 9 Dec.
