The Abstract is a 3 piece funk/rock/experimental band from australia.
Why this name?
Daniel rang me (nic) one night and said how bout we be called "abstract" and i said, how about "THE abstract" and we agree'd. James had no say, as ussuall.
Do you play live?
We play reguarly at pubs and golf clubs, its kinda hard coz all of us are under 18, but we have fun.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
its good...we can promote ouselves and get our name out there.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We would if it was with a label that wasnt gunna screw us over. We would like even more to start our own label. Our Cd thaT we just released is independant (no label).
Band History:
Pretty much daniel and i have been in bands for a while and this is the one thats worked the best.
Your influences?
We love bands like red hot chili peppers, down to the bone, coldplay and the mars volta...we just love happy chilled out music...but dont get us wrong, we dish out our fair share of macho funk rock.
Favorite spot?
I like brisbane and the gold coast alot, Western aus is also very nice. Daniel likes europe. James goes wherever theres waves.
Equipment used:
We use mostly behringer gear for amps and p.a.
We use esp, casino and seymore duncan for guitars and pickups.
Anything else...?
Dont sell out! if the music you love is not "cool" dont change, just work harder at putting it in peoples faces, they will come around eventually.
