We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files, however we don’t like regurgitating press releases or asking the easy questions. No-one gets out of the Tone Deaf Interrogation lightly, so just hold still, grit your teeth, clench your buttocks and be still while we put on the rubber gloves, apply the thumbscrews, and pull out our thermometer while you open up and say ahhhhhhhhhhh… Truthful answers only or we drink your rider while you’re on stage.

Casanova

The Beatles, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin

We’ve been looking in the $2 bin at Dixons Recycled and also bidding on eBay – what releases are we looking for there that your band has put out?

My first band, The Rumours ‘We Are Happy LP’. This is funny because some guy from South America actually had it listed on Ebay.

Suppose we put a gun to your head and force you to kiss a member of another Australian band. Who, which band and why?

Jordan Speering of the Demon Parade, because he sings like an angel
