My 2018 begun with a post-uni move from Christchurch to Wellington. A fresh faced (and music mad) marketing graduate, I had no idea that SNC were planning to make the exact same migration. By February I found myself flatting in the room next door to Luke and Andrej and by March I was introducing myself as their media & marketing manager. I'm actually being paid on a commission basis ($1 per Facebook like) so if you haven't already, help a dreamer out.
Living in such close proximity to the band has it's pros and cons;
On one hand band practice twice a week means I know all the lyrics to every song, plus I get to hear new material before anyone else (be jealous). Then on the other hand, I do find myself in some discomfort when the boys have creative disagreements late at night, which can be heard through the paper-thin walls.
To be honest, I didn’t know much about Same Name Confusion when I first took on the role (I saw them belt out a fantastic Could You Be Loved cover in a kitchen once, but that’s about it), needless to say I'm learning quickly.
We’re a pop band - strictly no guitar solos or ambient intros. It’s all about the live set and we never come on before 10pm.
Politically neutral, Anti birds, & Pro Wellington Phoenix remaining in the A-League.
Luke's probably the CEO, but he can be quite abrasive and often hurts my feelings in the process. Andrej’s still unemployed, but he’s the talented one (not so much at cooking though).
You should come and see us at our next gig, I’ll make some posters with all the deets.
I may be getting ahead of myself but so long as I’m in charge, Same Name Confusion are going to go a long way in the Wellington music scene. Watch this space.
