Interview by Lisa Jones // 1 October 2004

1) Who are your favourite New Zealand musicians/bands?

Subtract, NeWayHome, Indicator Dogs, Second Theory, Agent.

2) Who would you most like to support live?

Any of the above with the addition of Meshuggah, Tool, or Tomahawk.

3) What is the strangest thing that has happened to you while playing on tour?

Strangest thing was a club closing down without letting anybody know. Luckily for us one of the former business partners managed to get word to us the night before so we weren’t completely taken unawares. Apart from that, just the usual gear breaking down for no apparent reason. Damned goblins getting into the systems…

4) Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?

Married with kids, playing covers in some dive.

5) What advice would you give other budding musicians/bands?

Be prepared to work your lil’ asses off. Good things come to those who help themselves.

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:
