The Big Splash: The Southwicks

Answered by: Hannah Fredriksson (bass)

As a band, what are you trying to do? Are you doing it? Right now we’re just trying to get our music out there and build a loyal fan base. 

How did you feel about your set on Thursday night? Fitting six people onto a tiny stage is never easy but we made the most of it and it was amazing to see so many people singing along with us.

What acts caught your ear/eye? All the bands on the night were really impressive. Flighflow had a sweet groove and you’d never know their drummer had his arm in a sling. Couldbeat Jenako were an absolute joy to watch.

Who else in the Big Splash heats are you keen to get a look at? I think Foam are a band to watch, and Apollo’s Son are pretty rad.

What are your plans from here? We have been doing some pre-production for a new EP and we’re aiming to have it recorded by the end of the year.

The Big Splash continues with Heat #8 on Thursday, July 22, at The Bird with Bri Clark, Eteana, FOAM and Divorce Party. Doors open 8pm, $6 entry.
