Hailed since 2010 as one of the most exciting Australian heavy acts to ever turn their amps up to 11, Totally Unicorn are pushing back the covers and emerging with a bunch of angst-driven booze- and medication-fuelled power hits.
So… you have a road trip, it’s dark, you have to make it through till dawn. What’s on the playlist?
A mixtape of roosters crowing on repeat, so we don’t fall asleep.
What is the song you wished you’d written?
The Happy Birthday song.
What is the song that you have written that you wished you hadn’t?
All our songs are number one hits. This does not apply.
What is the song that you’ve written that you think is the one that really defines your style the best?
Alice Cooper – Poison.
Is there such a thing as too loud?
Yes, when you’re in the tour van with Aaron.
Tell me about the new album. What did you set out to achieve?
10 songs. We killed it and got 11.
What happened along the way?
Drew got divorced, Mike’s mum died and he moved to Adelaide, Lee went bald again, we kicked Tim out of the band. Kerim made breakfast.
How is the band taking that album to the stage?
In a really big bag and/or forklift.
What should we expect for your live show?
It’s like a Captain Planet episode: fire, wind, water, heart and earth. Oh and Captain Planet is really obese.
They play the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.
