The interview with The Otherwise Men from Sydney, live @The Lair @ Metro Theatre on Thursday, March 26th for Emergenza Festival Australia:   

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BAND NAME: WHO CHOSE IT AND WHY?

Our band name is related to the first song we wrote as a band "Otherwise". It was a simply joke that later became our name.

PLEASE TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BAND: HOW AND WHEN WAS IT BORN?

Originally we were just jamming as an acoustic band. Then eventually we got a drummer to join us, and we all picked up electric guitar instead.

WHEN DID YOUR INTEREST IN MUSIC BEGIN? AND HOW HAS YOUR MUSIC CHANGED FROM THE MOMENT YOU BEGAN TO PLAY TOGETHER?

Our interest in music started at a young age. Our music has changed a lot, it began as sloppy stoner rock and developed into what it is today.

WHAT ARE YOUR MUSICAL INFLUENCES?

Our musical influences are bands like Silverchair and Soundgarden.

IS THERE A SONG THAT IS SPECIAL FOR YOU? IF SO, WHICH ONE AND WHY?
Kingdom. It was our first song we really nailed and is probably our best song.

WHERE DO YOU GET INSPIRATION TO WRITE SONGS (EVENTS, MOOD....)?
Life experiences, or just jamming with each other.

HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT EMERGENZA FESTIVAL AND WHY YOU DECIDED TO TAKE PART IN IT?
Word of mouth, because it's an amazing opportunity.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM EMERGENZA AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR FIRST EMERGENZA CONCERT? We expect to have an awesome time. And we're stoked to able to play with other bands and in front of a great crowd and an even greater venue.
