Have You Heard: The Dunes

When did you start making music and why? Started with violin back in primary school, then got an old-school organ that I played a while. Bought a guitar in '96 while in the US, but then swapped to bass, haven't looked back.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Psych, fuzz, drone, dark.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? This changes daily. Right now the answer would be Brian Jonestown Massacre's Methodrone. Every song is perfect in every sense, whether it's the tones, the layers, the feel. Probably mostly the feel.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Hanging out at the Odditorium over in Portland for Zia's (Dandy Warhols) 40th birthday party last year is up there with the best.

Why should people come and see your band? I think we are creating some pretty great sounds at the moment, and have some new songs to share.

When and where for your next gig? 26 Nov, Scumfest, Queens Theatre.
