Making Millions

How long have you been together?
Since December 2010

How did you all meet?
I went to school with Campbell and played in a band with him before this one. I met James and Dom while being brothers in arms at Q&A Market Research.

You're on tour in the van – which band or artist is going to keep the most people happy if we throw them on the stereo?
Ghetto classics – whether it be The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Madlib, Nas or Strawberry Alarm Clock. It has to be ghetto classic.

Would you rather be a busted broke-but-revered Hank Williams figure or some kind of Metallica monster?
I want to make money out of music but retain credibility. I'm pretty sure that's the goal of every musician.

Which Brisbane bands before you have been an inspiration (musically or otherwise)?
Our contemporaries – Gung Ho, Last Dinosaurs and Dune Rats all push the envelope.

What part do you think Brisbane plays in the music you make?
Probably on a scale of 1-10 about a 6.5. All of the songs we write are trying to be as good as songs we listen to and love and I'd say about 95% of that music doesn't come from Australia. On the other hand, though Brisbane influences us by the people we hang out with, the places we go and also aids us with such great initiatives like the NEIS program which pretty much funds us when we're on tour.

Is your band responsible for more make-outs or break-ups? Why?
Make outs, a dude in Sydney made us sign his CD of ours so he could “get constant sex from his girlfriend”.

What reality TV show would you enter as a band and why?
Either Survivor or Wipeout. I have wanted to go on either of these shows for some time now. I am very competitive and think I could outwit, outplay, outcone and outlast on both shows.
