Have You Heard: Lionizer

Answered by: Bailey Lions

How did you get together? I was jamming in another band and Vez came over and made me a sandwich. We’ve since moved onto burritos, but the bonds of sandwiches cannot be broken.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Ballistic, energetic, surprising, fun

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? The Front Bottoms, Against Me!, or Amanda Palmer You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album – what would it be? Reconstruction Site – The Weakerthans. Solid from start to finish and full of emotional and upbeat indie-folk songs layered with in-depth lyrics on losing loved ones, trying to stay alive and cats.

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? Keeping a journal of the cleanliness of public toilets on the road from Adelaide to Newcastle while on our first national tour. Or playing main stage at Hyperfest.

Why should people come and see your band? We’re fun and awkward and you might find the next great ‘Screw you, I’m awesome’ song to send your ex.

When and where for your next gig? We play the Mustang Bar on Thursday 18 Sep – it’s the first show of our September tour.
