Have You Heard: tumbleweed

More Tumbleweed Tumbleweed Profile

How did you get together? Born from the ashes of Proton Energy Pills and The Unheard, there wasn’t much happening in Wollongong in 1990; we were drawn together, united in our weirdness. We didn’t fit in, we had similar tastes and we wanted to do something different.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Heavy rolling melodic fuzz.

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? MC5.

You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album – what would it be? Revolver – The Beatles.

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? Playing with Iggy Pop, Guns ‘N Roses stole our dressing room, handed Slash his hat, Iggy shagging on the bed, asked for an autograph and he drew a penis while licking a random girl’s face.

Why should people come and see your band? Because they love rock’n’roll and want to have a good time.

When and where for your next gig? The Gasometer Hotel, 13 & 14 Nov and River Rocks festival, Geelong, 15 Nov.
