Ozfest Focus: Saskwatch

Answered by: Nkechi Anele - Lead singer

Will you do an Australian themed set at Ozfest? If so, what have you planned? I think being an Australian band playing original music is already inherently Australian. We're always planning to have a lot of fun on stage.

What's your fave thing about events around Australia Day? I think it's always fun to celebrate as a nation but with the consideration and respect of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage and history.

What's something that's quintessentially Australian? Bogans...

Do you think there's a difference between playing a big event like Ozfest when there is an all Aussie bill as opposed to when international acts feature? Seeing great bands from Australia at one event reminds you how great the music that comes from Australia is. I think international acts are sweet but we also need to give some credit to the Australian music scene from time to time.

What time are you playing at Ozfest? Saskwatch has two sets over the Ozfest Weekend: 23 Jan, 8pm at Miami Tavern. 24 Jan, 8pm at Waterfront Hotel.
