Meatstock Artist Focus: The Tommyhawks

Answered by: Addison Axe

Tell us your best BBQ-related memory: The primo reward for our crowd-funding was a vegan BBQ. It was awesome spending the day together preparing food, drinking, dancing, then chilling at Ness' with rad food, rad crew and the beautiful Perth sunset.

What's your favourite thing to throw on the BBQ and why? Tempeh. No doubt. It's fucking delicious. You can eat it with anything, but my favourite is with guacamole or satay sauce in a bun. That shit is addictive.

If you had to use one BBQ/meat-based dish as an analogy for your music, what would it be and why? Fried pineapple. We're tropical, fruity, and not your standard addition to the menu.

Will you ask for meat instead of booze on your rider? Anyone who knows us knows nothing could replace booze on the rider.

What are you hoping to take away from Meatstock? Probably a salad roll (if carnivores eat salad. Or rolls) and band merch. One of the things I love about festivals is doing T-shirt swaps with other cool bands and expanding my already overflowing wardrobe.
