& questions to Sydney's Toydeath. A brilliant combo with a visual statement.
1) WHAT SORT OF SOUND CAN THE PUBLIC EXPECT FROM YOUR BAND??
We're not restricted to a genre and the toys have an incredible variety of sound. It's a journey through electronics, psychedelics and noise. It's been described as 'horror-pop'.
All our music is played on modified toys.
2) HOW DID YOU ALL MEET & HOW LONG HAS THE BAND BEING TOGETHER?
We all met working at Toys R' Us in 1995.
3) YOUR BAND’S NAME: WHO CHOSE IT? REALLY GUYS….NO LIES ALLOWED OK? ;)…DISCUSS PLEASE
Toydeath. We decided to play speed metal on toys and Toydeath was born!
4) DISCUSS YOUR LOCAL ORIGINAL MUSIC SCENE. HEALTHY? SAD? ARE YOU OPTIMISTIC?
Its really sad because more bands need to play with toys!
5) IF YOU CAUGHT YOUR BEST FRIEND’S LITTLE BROTHER LISTENING TO REALLY CRAP EUROTRASH DANCE MUSIC, WOULD YOU:
A) TIE HIM UP AND FORCE HIM TO LISTEN TO YOUR FAVOURITE BAND
B) LET HIM BE
C) TELL HIM TO PICK UP AN INSTRUMENT
B) Let him be
6) DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCE AT THE LAIR DURING THE EMERGENZA COMPETITION
Brilliant
7) …...AND FINALLY, IF YOU'D WON EMERGENZA FESTIVAL AUSTRALIA AND WENT TO GERMANY TO PLAY THE HUGE STAGE AND COULD ONLY TAKE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOU WHAT WOULD IT BE?
A) A REALLY GOOD CAMERA
B) EXTRA MONEY
C) GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND
D) CONDOMS
E) CIGARETTES
