WAMFest Focus: Thee Loose Hounds

Answered by: Reuben Unkovich - vocals, guitar, organ, Chief Emailing Officer

Give us a short description of your music: Bass-less, trebly, garage rock'n'roll.

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Supporting The Sonics and Acid Baby Jesus has been cool. Two records and two tours in a year is an achievement. It's hard to beat a Bird show when all your mates are drunk, though.

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? Well, the industry side certainly hasn't been. Maybe we just haven't got to the party yet. We still pay for most of our own Campari.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from WAMFest? I want to know why people in New South Wales don't answer emails?

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at WAMFest? Excited to check out Flossy and Gold Suns as I haven't seen either yet. And I'll never miss an opportunity to see Golden String or Hussy.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at WAMFest? Maybe you like fun, or hate bass players, or you just can't be bothered walking to another venue. I have a silver guitar and Matty has a great haircut. You just should, I don't know.

When and where is your WAMFest gig? 5 Nov, Badlands, 10.40pm
