The Living End: 2006 Jack Awards Best Live Band Nominee

Author: Unknown

In the lead up to the Jack Awards, the only publicly voted awards for live music in Australia, The Drum will grab a few thoughts from various nominees. This week it’s The Living End.

The count down to the Jack Awards have begun…Got any hot dates or outfits planned for the Black Carpet this year?
“I don’t really like dates…I’m more of a sultana kind of guy.”

What’s been your most memorable experience at the Jack Awards in previous years? If you haven’t been yet…heard any good rumours?
I’ve only been once which was last year. Tommy Lee was there, we played and I won an award so t gets the big thumbs up for me.

You’re up against Grinspoon, Wolfmother, Cut Copy, End Of Fashion and The Mess Hall in the Best Live Band category…what do you think your odds are?
“I think those guys are all good, I just don’t think they’re as good as us! Ha ha…I’m a bit biased after all! Truthfully I don’t know but we just enjoy getting feedback from a live audience and we’re not concerned with being a hype band. We will let the public decide.”
