Leaps And Bounds Focus 2016: Destrends

Answered by: Billy Watts

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Glittery, skinny, punk, sweaty.

What other events/gigs are you looking forward to at Leaps & Bounds? Can't wait to see Lurch & Chief for their final show at the Corner Hotel. It's devastating to see them calling it a day, but it will be great to give them a massive send-off.

What do you think is the best thing about a festival like Leaps & Bounds? There is definitely a huge sense of community. It's a great way to showcase the huge array of venues and diverse artists within the City Of Yarra, the undeniable hub of Melbourne's live music scene. 

What are your favourite places to hang out in the City Of Yarra and why? Old Bar have supported us from the start and is definitely a favourite watering hole of ours. We are regulars at Yah Yah's, who have 2am slots on Friday and Saturday nights.

Why should people come and see your band at Leaps & Bounds? The show is a celebration of my dad, Robbie 'Rocket' Watts. Notorious St Kilda punks I Spit On Your Gravy are reuniting for the first show in 16 years in honour of their bandmate.

When and where is your Leaps & Bounds appearance? 1 Jul, The Tote.
