Have You Heard: The Deadlips

Answered by: Rhys Brennan

When did you start making music and why? Late in 2013, out of frustration from lack of fellow musicians' commitment to start a gigging band.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Heavy, groovy fuzz rock.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Fuzz - self-titled album. One of the best stoner rock albums of all time. It covers all the bases we like: catchy vocal melodies, huge roomy drums, brutal guitar tone. 

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Either us playing a DIY show in [singer] Madi's backyard at the St Kilda Festival to people on the street - or - [Bassist] Anth doing a Spinal Tap and getting us lost in Sydney before a show.

Why should people come and see your band? We blend stoner and heavy rock influences with Madi's blues rock-inspired vocal melodies in a high energy show.

When and where for your next gig? 11 Nov, The Brunswick Hotel.
