    Turtle-Dog – interview with the band.

    Introducing the band which will be kicking off Emergenza’s first set of 2013 shows in Brisbane.



    Please introduce the band to us… who you are what makes you guys tick ?
    DJ Cocobean (Coen) and Jive Turkey (Ned) were in some band in like 2010 or something, they was 'ok'... there have been better bands. Then the main dude from that band was like 'ugh we're lame' so The DJ and JT had to look elsewhere to express their musical selves. So it was school music 2011... The DJ and Splifford (Tom) liked to play together, but something was missing. JT dropped some stupid ass class and joined music instead. The DJ and Spliff found what was missing. They been writing crazy bitchin music ever since.

    What do you find to be your biggest challenge both musically and in terms of performance?
    Musically: Writing music that the world is ready for - and also contains some variation, so we don't just sound like some typical teenage rock band. (it's hard, man) Performance: We're not very experienced seeing as only one of us is 18 - and therefore probably not very good. Let's let the X & Y Bar be the judge.

    What made you guys decide to take part in the Emergenza International Music Festival?
    Some chick emailed us so we thought we'd try and get our name out there.

    How do you promote your band and shows?
    An elaborate, city-wide, pigeon carrier system. Also facebook.
    You can also listen, or buy our tracks from bandcamp: http://turtle-dog.bandcamp.com/

    What does the future hold for Turtle-Dog ?
    Platinum albums and a world tour. Really though, we just want to Create unbelievably nice tracks.
