About Lizardfolk from Wellington
Kia ora!We've been
jamming together for a few months, and just got a flat in Newtown.
Neighbours haven't complained yet, so they obviously have good taste in
music.
it all began when...
Hedley met Gabe a couple of years ago while they were
both (sadly) working at KFC (a breeding ground for musical genius,
clearly). They would both go in to work
baked as motherscones, but it was months before one asked the other,
"dude, you baked too" and the first seeds were sown. It's okay, we're
allowed to use one or two cliches.
Reuben comes into the
picture one cold and starry night at a fabled Warehouse party, in which
he hopped on the drums and proceeded to fucking destroy them to the beat
of Killing in the Name of, which Gabe had got up and was jamming. There
must have been something, because they talked about starting a band
together, and a week later had leased a flat in Newtown, two minutes
from Hedz. This shit was starting to form roots.
Jamming with
two guitars and drums, but with no bass, is frustrating. We found Thommy
on the dark back streets of Wellington, crawling along the dirt with a
brown paper bag in one hand and a bass guitar in the other. Well, we
smelt him first, but you get the picture.
On an honest and serious note, the most unfortunate thing: Thommy is from Hamilton. Feel free to rip him to shreds about it.
We're all pretty ambitious. See you at the fucking top.
Influences: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Smashing Pumpkins
