These Four Walls - These Four Walls Newsletter Interview
06 May 2007 // An interview by Shade
Thanks to Chris for these answers:
1) What is your greatest achievement?
Being in a band with 4 other guys who are all as committed as myself and chasing the same dream.
2) What do you think could be done to make NZ music even better?
Have councils provide venues to harbour music, instead of shutting down venues who are only trying to help out bands by giving them a place to play.
3) Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?
Being recognised as one of the most hard working bands in New Zealand, and overseas showing the world what bands from lil' ol' New Zealand can do?
4) What is the best thing about making music?
Being able to provide an outlet for any creativeness you foster, and knowing that most things you put out there people can relate too. Or just getting up on stage and playing to a crowd of people who enjoy the sound that you've crafted.
5) What advice would you like to give to other aspiring musicians?
Always have your game face on, and be as professional as possible! Have fun while you're doing what you love, and don't do it because someone else tells you too! Don't let someone with tall poppy syndrome deter you from making music.
