Before they support YOB on August 19, we spend a minute with Perth heavy quartet Dirac Sea and find out what’s new.
Describe your music in five words or less.
A glass case of emotion
What’s going on in the world of Dirac Sea?
Getting our first release ready, solidifying more gigs and perfecting our craft.
What motivates you to make music?
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what motivates us, but there is a unanimous feeling of enjoyment within the band when we do make music.
What have been the high and low points of your musical experiences so far?
The high and low point are one in the same as it entails our initial second guitarist departing the band, which also allowed us to hone in and define our sound.
What music are you listening to at the moment?
For a definitive list, we’d be here all day, so one from each would be Abandon, Amenra, Explosions in the Sky, Neurosis and anything that makes your spine tingle.
If you were stranded on a desert island, which member of the band would get eaten first?
Mike, ’cause he’s already dead inside.
Here’s an opportunity to bitch about something, whether music related or not. What really pisses you off?
The heart-wrenching and never-ending drop off of quality that is The Simpsons.
You’re putting together your perfect gig featuring Australian artists. Who would you get to play and where? Feel free to include acts/DJs/bands/venues that no longer exist.
Fourteen Nights at Sea, Mournful Congregation, Beyond Terror Beyond Grace, Arterial Hemorrhage, Drowning Horse, The Filth, Drohtnung, Woods of Desolation and Clagg, all playing at… The Castle.
