All the Colours are an awesome Melbourne quartet who are looking to give something back to the fans. Here's their Top Fives

Julia Henning tells us about some of her favourite things!

"One thing that we do that I think is underrated in people’s view of us is that we like the silences, we like the notes that stretch out, we like the way there is a lot of open space. When the cello plays you can hear and feel every string, and the fretboard is very textual."

“When we first started we were just calling out to the community to see who wanted to be a part of Australia’s first hip hop choir, but as the interest from the wider community grew, so did a passion to develop this style of hip hop.”

Mick Thomas tells us some of his favourite things!

"Yeah, that’s the plan... To make two records; another Heavy Rhyme Experience and another Brand New Heavies album with N’Dea. It’s always hard, because you never know how long an album’s going to take, but I’m looking forward to it."

"We are big fans of Wilco... I personally am a really big fan of some of their early stages, particularly records like Being There and Summerteeth. The Summerteeth record is one of their more produced records I would say even, and I really like that record – there’s a lot of great songs on that album."

“They tried to feed you organic food and grains and frickin’ beans. You’re not allowed to talk, there’s no TV and they make you get up at 5am to do Thai Chi and feed you lentils. I left after a day and went and ate McDonalds. I’m as relaxed as I need to be right now, just lying in bed.”

"I was married last year, and I feel like a lot of the songs on the record [are] about the idea of feeling like a person again after not for so long. I feel like that happens when you meet the person that you love; it kind of puts all those pieces in the right place."

“It’s basically everything I find amusing squeezed into an hour. There’s some stuff with a loopstation, some visual stuff, a lot of audience interactions and then stuff with just a microphone. It’s a whole mishmash of all the different facets of me as an entertainer I guess.”

"Good things come from every gig you do. It may be a crap gig to three people but if you play that gig, something leads on from that and that’s the way you generate something; you just have to go, and you have to do it and you have to make the first attempt, if you like."
