The interview with Sloppy Kiss Soirée, live @ The Lair @ Metro Theatre on Wednesday, March 25th for Emergenza Festival Australia:

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BAND NAME: WHO CHOSE IT AND WHY?
Founding member and frontdude Jonny chose it when the first demo was complete. Initially it was going to be Sloppy Kisses, however if you typed that into google all you got were various links to pet stores and porn sites. No particular reason why it was chosen. It kind of had a ring to it? It's dumb/great.

PLEASE TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BAND: HOW AND WHEN WAS IT BORN?
Started as a solo punk project in late 2013. Jonny recorded a 7 track demo titled 'Frothing At The Mouth & Eating The Furniture' consisting of guitar, bass, drums and vocals, which was undertaken in his Russian pal Roman's living room.

WHEN DID YOUR INTEREST IN MUSIC BEGIN? AND HOW HAS YOUR MUSIC CHANGED FROM THE MOMENT YOU BEGAN TO PLAY TOGETHER?
The three of us have been aroused by music for as long as we can remember, particularly garage punk, garage rock, and the convenience of storage things in a garage. The style of Sloppy Kiss Soirée started off as a mild salsa, and now with a powerful trio it is indeed extra spicy! 

WHAT ARE YOUR MUSICAL INFLUENCES?
Other local bands, all styles and artists from the last 100 years from all over planet earth. Anything really, as long as it's not boring or super fake, it'll influence us in some weird way. 

IS THERE A SONG THAT IS SPECIAL FOR YOU? IF SO, WHICH ONE AND WHY?
We all love playing Baby Sitar. It's a new one and changes from slow to fast multiple times, being a little less predictable. It seems to move the audience's bodies more too. 

WHERE DO YOU GET INSPIRATION TO WRITE SONGS (EVENTS, MOOD....)?
So far we've been inspired by apples, tetanus shots, goats, giggling, warm clothes, childhood hooliganism, bouncy balls, silly girls, dumb boys, teeth, exhilarating experiences, family, friends, and fear :)

HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT EMERGENZA FESTIVAL AND WHY YOU DECIDED TO TAKE PART IN IT?
We got asked to play and decided to do so because playing live is always fun. We've never done a band comp before. Sounds exciting.


WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM EMERGENZA AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR FIRST EMERGENZA CONCERT?
We don't know what to expect. We're just looking forward to playing to a different crowd and alongside other artistes. Keen!
