Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard

Posted 08/03/2010

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?

A lot of last-minute set-list scrawling and debating.

If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?

Real food - day after day of being offered piles of potato chips and candy and other junk food feels like there's a conspiracy to slowly kill you!

Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.

Dufus, been seeing their shows for years, just a sort of an underground/cult band but some of the best shows I've ever seen.

What's your most essential item to take on tour?

My same old guitar obviously. And some extra tape to keep taping the guitar back together every time it splits apart.

What's your secret talent?

Gently catching frogs and letting them go.

AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?

I don't personally use any of them, but my bandmates probably update my Myspace page more than the other ones.

My Festival Experience
Gyroscope

I’d probably say it was earlier this year, we did a show over in Perth, I think it was a festival. The show was completely sold out & at home we were able to have heaps of friends & family, don’t get me started on the size of the guest list, but the crowd was great. To be able to rock out to so many people from our home as well as the people we know & love it was just great & that’s the stand out for me.

Ideal Lineup?
Well despite the impossibility of it I’d definitely say Nirvana. They are & were such an inspirational band of their time & even though they’re no longer around, I’d still love to see them as I missed out. Besides that, I’d love to see some bands from the 60’s & 70’s that are more melody based, such as The Beatles & The Rolling Stones, they really did great stuff & I feel the melody in music has really disappeared today. So to see bands like that play would be great.

Face artist you've seen at a Music Festival?
One that really stands out to me still is a set I caught here in Perth by The Music. They were playing the Big Day Out in Perth & I was waiting for another band to come on, but went over to the stage they were on about 25 minutes early. The set by The Music was just amazing, the passion & technique the musicians put on was amazing & to see them up in like tracksuit jackets in summer really was cool & it was just a great set.

Tips for attending a music festival?
Pretty much just sunscreen & water. As I mentioned, the place gets really hot in the afternoon & with heaps of people there, the amount of shade becomes a lot less. The water is basically just to stay cool & to survive the day & then besides that just have some booze & food if you need it & all is good.
