With the inaugural Knight & Day Festival at Kryal Castle in Ballarat just around the corner, HEAVY felt it appropriate to recognize some of this countries finest up and comers by asking them a few questions and tips.
To be held on December 30 and 31, Knight & Day features recognizable names such as Parkway Drive, Polaris, Thy Art Is Murder and Clowns, but how many of you REALLY know some of the other acts such as Diamond Construct, Future Static, Justice for The Damned, Trophy Eyes or Windwaker?
How about Paperweight, Terra, The Beautiful Monument, Void Of Vision, The Gloom In The Corner or To The Grave?
These guys are all the next generation of Australian music, and strongly believing that HEAVY decided to reach out with a few Q & A’s to see what they have to say about a number of interesting and a few more trivial, but important, things.
Today we catch up with Terra for their thoughts.
HEAVY: You are officially part of history, playing at one of Australia’s newest festivals on the first line- up. That’s pretty cool, even if you never play again!
Terra: Hell yeah, we’re beyond excited, but that’s also definitely not a question.
Knight & Day is held over December 30 and 31. Would you rather be playing or partying the New Year in on December 31?
Hands down would pick playing, but absolute can’t beat Parkway ringing in the New Year, so this time we pick partying.
Which of the other bands on the line-up are you most looking forward to playing with?
Getaway Plan and Thy Art Is Murder bruv.
Who do you think will be the biggest pranksters?
None of the bands could top the antics of Steven Cannatelli, but also The Chats.
Do bands actually pre-plan jokes on other bands, or are they more a product of opportunity?
I’d say most of them are calculated, there’s a bunch of mf sadists in this scene, although every now and again you pull up beside a burden at a red light and yeet a traffic cone into their van.
Just say you are performing on December 31 and your last song finishes at midnight. What song are you playing to welcome in the new year?
One that hasn’t come out yet . . . mid Jan keep an eye out wink wink nudge nudge…
Two day festivals aren’t easy work for the bands or punters. Firstly, what survival tips would you give the fans?
Sunscreen and Water.
What about other bands and yourselves?
“Sunscreen and Booze”
What plans do your band have heading into 2022?
We’re putting out an EP on the 4th of Feb called Reverie, and we’re really excited to get that out for everyone to enjoy, it’s been a massive process to make, so we can’t wait to share it.
