Leaps & Bounds: Department

When did you start making music and why? We begun as a two-piece in early 2013 but felt unfulfilled and missed the schlapping of the bass. So we decided to phatten our sound and we haven’t looked back.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Insider jangle crunk punk.

What other events/gigs are you looking forward to at Leaps & Bounds? Definitely AC/DShe, but also Brat Farrar, Kinder, Crepes, Wet Meal, Tiprats, Deaf Wish, Flour, EXEK, Girl Crazy, Hierophants, Scientists, Lost Animal, Ron Peno. Whatever blows the hair back.

What do you think is the best thing about a festival like Leaps & Bounds? It highlights great things about the community that may not get a heap of exposure, things like artists and venues. It’s very all encompassing, which is encouraging for lesser known acts.

What are your favourite places to hang out in the City of Yarra and why? Piedimonte’s when I’m cashed up. Otherwise The Old Bar, 4 lyf. Trang has nice banh mi sandwiches on Smith St too. And of course the BBQ out the front of Woolies is hard to deny.

Why should people come and see your band at Leaps & Bounds? We’re a feel-good variety act that plays fast and loud pop songs with bad jokes thrown in for bad measure.

When and where for your Leaps & Bounds gig? Saturday 18 Jul at The Old Bar, with Mighty Boys, Dumb Punts and Tiprats.
