What was the first concert you ever went to?
I went to Madonna's Girly Concert at the MCG with my aunt when I was 12. Her friend waited out overnight to get the tickets. I still have the t-shirt.
What’s your favourite album of all time?
This is nearly an impossible question to answer. The album I have listened to the most is easily Strange Days by The Doors. My family would regularly drive from my home town in South Gippsland to Melbourne. There is a section of the drive that winds through the hills. I would listen to tapes that I stole from my dad's collection in my walkman. Once I found Strange Days I stopped listening to anything else. I still put it on when I drive back home in the dark.
My friends would describe me as...
A 10 foot fire-breathing dragon.
Whose posters did you have stuck to the wall when you were a teenager?
I had a massive Elvis poster that was glued to the back of my door. I also
had a poster of Baby Spice swigging out of a champagne bottle.
Describe your sound in three words.
Helluva good time.
