Single Focus: J.F.K

Staff Writer

Answered by: James Knox
Single title? A Boy And A Boy
What's the song about? It's about love, equal rights and calling out homophobia for what it is - ignorant, close-minded bullshit.
How long did it take to write/record? Wrote it in one afternoon and tracked the entire song in a single day with my good mate Andy Lawson at Debaser studios.
Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Nope - this track is a stand-alone single.
What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? I wrote this song after being the victim of some blantant homophobia while eating in a restaurant with my boyfriend. I wanted to channel all the negative feelings into something positive to fire back.
We'll like this song if we like... The White Stripes, Ty Segall, Velociraptor, The Hives
Do you play it differently live?: It's exactly the same live as it is recorded!
When and where is your launch/next gigs? Indi Bar on Oct 27, a WAM showcase at Tetsuo NC on Nov 3, and we're palying Freo Beerfest and Amps on Nov 11.
