SAMUEL FLYNN SCOTT ON WETTING HIS PANTS IN PUBLIC
Who are your favourite NZ bands and artists?
I love The Clean, they're pretty much as good as NZ music has ever been and they continue to inspire. My fave NZ album of the year so far is Lawrence Arabia, the guy behind it, James, is an amazing song writer and his songs should be all over the radio but commercial radio in New Zealand is a wasteland of mediocrity so that's not likely to happen. They are such catchy, lovely and interesting pieces of music though. Buy it, I dare thee!
What is the best live gig you have ever been to?
The Flaming Lips at the BDO was pretty outrageous. Beastie Boys in 1993 when I was a teenage munter was pretty life changing. The Breeders at Indigo might be the most moving show I have ever seen. When Kim Deal sang Gigantic I almost peed my pants in delight.
What advice would you like to give to other aspiring musicians?
Run away from bullies, eat more middle-eastern food, wear less Chuck Taylors (but always have one pair), fly kites, rob banks.
