Personal Best Records: Hy-Test

Answered by: Luke Armstrong [bass/vocals]

Best record you stole from your folks’ collection? Billy Joel – Piano Man. Captain Jack is one powerful kick ass druggo melody. Big fan.

First record you bought? I won a chocolate wheel when I was a kid and won Icehouse – Man Of Colours; I gave it to my mum. First I bought was probably the Young Einstein soundtrack.

Record you put on when you’re really miserable? The Kill Devil Hills – Heathen Songs makes me want to pour a whiskey over ice and cry into it. Or anything by Hank Williams.

Record you put on when you bring someone home? My wife quite enjoys some Kamahl while we roast marshmallows on an open fire laying upon fine game fur.

Most surprising record in your collection? Vanilla Ice – To The Extreme. Not sure why it’s surprising... it’s probably the greatest white guy rap album ever.

Last thing you bought/downloaded? DEAD – Captains of Industry. Melbourne two-piece who truly kick ass on and off record. Check them out!

When and where are your next gigs? Farmer & The Owl Festival, Uni Bar, Wollongong, 14 Mar; and Frankie’s Pizza By The Slice, 15 Mar.
