We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files, but we don’t like regurgitating press releases or asking the easy questions. At Tone Deaf we only ask the tough questions, 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.

Who gets the most ‘off stage action’ in the band? What’s the secret to their success?

Stu gets to pick up all the time cause he has a missus. Cavs has a beautiful face but he is from deni. Cook and Lucas don’t do that well.

Have you ever been arrested? Where were you, and what was it for?

Steygz once got arrested for lighting a pile of leaves down the forest. No one was hurt. Winslow got arrested for kicking a pedestrian crossing button, and spent all night in the jail cell crying

What’s been the worst day job you’ve ever had?

Cook once gave out wristies for nuggs that was pretty bad.

Sex, drugs and groupies – In what order do you prefer them and how often?

Drugs, but mostly pingers

Take us back to the first gig you went to. Where was it and what was the venue?

U2 and JZ at Telstra dome the other day. Was pretty sick

What’s your favourite site to download music from and do you ever pay for it? Can we find any of your releases there?

There is a few we use, mostly Youjizz.com and sometimes bluewaffle.com is pretty good.

What’s the furthest you’d go to win over a new fan?

I’d take a Russian Sub from a fan any day. Plus we’re signed to Sony so that’s corporate rock.

Right, here’s the plug section – tell us about upcoming gigs/tours and releases.

We need you to come to gigs so that we can go to Savers and buy more indie shit so we can be even bigger retards than we already are. We’re launching our EP TONIGHT this Friday 4th March Grace Darling with legends the Toot Toot Toots and Sambrose Automobile.
