Best record you stole from your folks’ collection? Glenn Miller – In The Mood. This swing stuff fascinated me because it was extreme music, fast, complicated and melodic.
First record you bought? Status Quo – Whatever You Want. I’ve always loved rhythmic riff heavy bands, and Status Quo are hypnotic and rockin’! Still. Despite the supermarket ads...
Record you put on when you’re really miserable?: I am rarely miserable, but a good down-vibe stuff for me is Nick Cave and Lee Hazlewood. Although Nick Cave can be quite uplifting at the same time which is a good thing! Coldplay make me want to die though.

Record you put on when you bring someone home?: Wagons’ The Rise And Fall Of Goodtown. My wife loves it. So do I.
Most surprising record in your collection?: Sitar Safari by Balsara & His Singing Sitars. It totally kicks arse.
Last thing you bought/downloaded?: The Slade Collection. Slade, Suzi Quatro and T-Rex really influenced our new album. We wanted big ‘70s drums.
When and where are your next gigs? The Bendigo, 6 Sep.
