the guide
Member answering/role: J. Dracman – vocals How long have you been together? As a band, two years, but Darkc3ll has been alive for around four years. How did you all meet? Post Mortem Matt (guitars/keys) and myself have been writing and recording together for around five years, and had been writing the kind of music we have longed to create, so naturally one gets curious and wants to unleash their sounds in a live arena. With this band, Rit Derelict (bass) and Jay Macabre (drums) round out what I consider a kickarse unit of chaos! You’re on tour in the van – which band or artist is going to keep the most people happy if we throw them on the stereo? Hmmm... tough one. Old school Sevendust always gets the nod. Which Brisbane bands before you have been an inspiration (musically or otherwise)? Scrumfeeder! Cherry Rock. What part do you think Brisbane plays in the music you make? The social demographic and daily grind in life always awakens the subconscious mind. What reality TV show would you enter as a band and why? MasterChef... the mess we’d make in kitchen... What’s in the pipeline for the band in the short term? All ages show at The Hive with Mars Attacks, Gorefield and Pyromance. Then soon after we release our second album, new filmclip and national tour. BOOM!
