An Interview with Planet Fiction

Planet Fiction are a Brisbane based, self proclaimed ‘Hard Rock’ band who have been out on the local scene for about 2 years building up their fan base and working on their first EP.  There are four of the somewhat mysterious fellows who make one hell of a sound on stage and then contradictingly step off at the end of the set to have a quiet drink in the smokers area looking nonchalant.  Adam is on lead vocals, Paw is on lead guitar, Gruff is on bass and Kelvin works the drums.

I asked Planet Fiction a few questions after seeing them at a gig for the second time and wanting a little more than just photographs.

music for my mood: ???

Ever had one of those songs, that you seem to play over and over and over again without understanding why?  ‘Dog Days are Over’ has found itself pumping through my house at an average of five times a day for the last week.  I have seen a multitude of moods this week but Florence has made herself present through them all… Maybe I am trying to convice myself of something?  I dunno… I like it.

Music for My Mood: Sentimental

This always makes me happy.  Maybe it’s my secretly obsessive love for Maynard, maybe it’s a whole heap of memories spinning rapidly around my head vowing never to be lost?  Either way it’s obviously not the lyrics.

Kitty, Daisy & Lewis @ The Zoo


Kitty & Daisy open with an instrument free duet – incredible.

Brisbane was lucky enough to be graced by the presence of British band Kitty, Daisy and Lewis on Sunday 13th December.  Playing at The Zoo, the band which comprises of siblings Kitty, Daisy, Lewis and their parents, blew the packed venue away with an outstanding live performance.

“RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR”

I fucking hate Sepultura!  I hate bands that scream their fucking lungs out and cause listeners to go home with severe migraines.  Being someone with no taste for thrash/death metal when a singer starts belting out notes from the depths of their stomach, this is the first comparison I make.

 This however, is not the experience I had with Planet Fiction.
