The Questions
Describe your band in exactly 3 words
psychedelic riff storm
Name 3 albums you could not live without
- Black Sabbath Vol. 4 Under the Sun rules.
- The Beach Boys/ Brian Wilson, Smile. Piecing together various forms of the album from the old recordings and fan-mixes.
- Slayer, Decade of Aggression Incredible live sound and energy, the crowd response to South of Heaven intro chills my blood.
Tell me something I don’t know about Photonic
Photonic is an on-going experiment in creating songs from non-down tuned riffs. My search for writing new riffs and lyrics is slow… I only finish four or five songs a year…
What is Photonic doing at the moment?
Photonic is touring through Europe during September and October as a solo show… then a couple more gigs in London late November before I return to NZ to tour and write.
You have 5 minutes alone with Simon Cowell, how will you use them?
Perhaps, if I could be bothered to talk at all, I would try to talk about the psychological and sociological difference between Business Music and The Music Business… though probably the only thing he hasn’t heard before is how much money he could make from Photonic, but I’d say that he could never persuade me to get involved.
