You are?

Kilby (Formerly Kilby)

 

Hometown?

Melbourne with a touch of the Peninsula

What are you up to at the moment? 

We are releasing our long awaited first EP and can't wait to show our friends that we don't just hit and strum inanimate objects in sweaty run down rehearsal studios! We are also about to start gigging with a full line-up!

Plans for the future?

Apart from wanting to crash the servers on iTunes when we release our EP we just want to start gigging and get some cool support acts and meet and greet other up and comers!

What’s your biggest achievement to date?

Probably when we got paid a heap of money to let someone use one of our songs in a movie. Only thing is that it wasn't a lot of money, and it wasn't a movie but a promotional 30 second video for a University. Selling out? What? Come off it! 
 

What are your Influences?

Varied! From Bach the composer to Bombay Bicycle Club to The Kills. We love all sorts of music. The ones that probably resonate the most in our music would be Two Door Cinema Club, Givers, Bombay Bicycle Club, New Navy.

What can punters expect at one of your shows?

Probably our banter........*silence*.........yep.....*cough*....we banter good!........... or lack thereof? We can't remember? We just focus on bashing out tantalizing toe tapping tunes that make everyone feel that they are skateboarding down strawberry milkshake waterfalls!

What's the weirdest experience you've had as an artist?

Early days we got offered to do this really cool acoustic gig but had never played live before and had no musicians to pull it off. So unbeknownst to a few of my family members of zero musician experience, we set them up with some Youtube tutorials, added a few smoke and mirrors and booom! We tapped together a band and played a few cool shows. It's either this or getting a photo of someone applying for the guitar spot in our band and getting sent a photo of an elderly man in his 60's with his shirt off, exposing his more than average chest hair!

What is your dream support slot?

Its a bit different for all of us. Wow this would never happen, but anywhoo: Cold War Kids, The Doors, Fall out Boy, The Strokes. If anyone can actually make this happen we'll make sure where available and give you a free t-shirt!
