Dead Beat Band

NL: Why did you agree to playing at That Fest?

Mikey: It’s local and amazing. You’ve got all these local bands coming together and you get to play with all these other big, amazing bands. It’s a good good feeling.

NL: What do you think local festivals like this do to the community?

Mikey: I think it’s great, especially on the Gold Coast because theres so many different genres of music and no one’s really copying each other or anything like that, everyone’s got their own little flair and it’s really good.

NL: The Gold Coast music scene is starting to amp up, and go big with bands like The Dead Beat Band (you) and Jack’s Harlot fronting it. What do you think of this?

Mikey: Yeah I think it’s great. None of us knew how to play instruments and we just gotup there and played and everyone is thinking, ‘fuck, if they can do it anyone can do it.’ So it’s great (laughs)

NL: Cheers for that mate.

Mikey: No worries.
