The freedom to explore songs without adhering to genres.

Not the one I expected it to be – Portishead at the North Shore Events Centre – shouldn’t have worked but it blew me away.

Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?

Continuing to make music with friends and moving closer to the sound in my head…

How do you keep in contact with your fans?

Generally on various back alleys of the internet

What rumour would you like to start about yourselves?

That we are currently in negotiations with George Lucas to rescore the Star Wars films.

What advice would you like to give to other aspiring musicians?

Don’t think of the beat in a bar as a dot to land on, but as a circle to land in.

About the interviewer Lisa Jones

I’m Lisa, Muzic.NZ’s founder and manager. I also manage the Aotearoa Music Industry Collective as well as the Aotearoa Rock Community and the Gig Space Facebook groups. Born and raised in New Plymouth, and now based in Palmerston North – I’m married to Adam (our IT guy), and together we have 2 amazing children. Rock is my favourite genre of music, but I enjoy a huge variety of genres from old school hip-hop through to metal, punk, pop, folk and EDM. My advice to NZ musicians is to build yourself a great support network, never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and talk to other people involved in the music industry. And don’t give up.. as long as you love what you are doing, don’t stop doing it. If you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. — MUZIC.NZ (MNZ) WEB: https://www.muzic.nz/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/muzicnetnz IG: https://www.instagram.com/muzicnz/ YT:
