Walking into the venue to have my ears assaulted by a punk cover of Dido wasn’t the best introduction to Sydney based group Chicks Who Love Guns. The band of larrikins seemed to have some hardcore groupies in the crowd, and to their credit they had a fun presence, but their music was not to my taste; their songs all sounded the same, and their front man lacked the cocky bravado necessary to pull off the vibe they were aiming for.
Backstage at The Aussie BBQ at Canadian Music Week in Toronto we caught up with WA outfit Minute 36.
I am just old enough to have experienced the fringes of the Brit Pop era; too young to have gotten in on the ground floor, but old enough to know about the likes of Blur and Pulp before they decided to reform. Graham Coxon, of course, is the long-time guitarist for Blur.
