Bundaberg metal outfit Ineffigy have made a handful of treks to the big smoke of Brisbane and left a sonic trail of destruction each time.
With a unique and easily digestible blending of a multitude of genres, coupled with an entertaining and dynamic live performance, Ineffigy are one of those bands you just know will make a large dent on the national music scene if given the chance.
And the first of those chances comes on October 14 when the band opens Lighthouse Rock Festival in their hometown, which is headlined by The Screaming Jets, Baby Animals and The Living End. The feat is even more impressive when you take into account Ineffigy won their spot via a battle of bands hosted by Triple M – a radio stage not known for favouring heavier bands of any capacity.
It is just reward for the boys who also spearhead Bundaberg’s East Coast Alternative, a dedicated group of musicians striving to build the music scene in the region by hosting touring bands, providing access to recorded live music and more.
This Saturday night Ineffigy play at Metal United World Wide at Bundaberg’s Sugarland Tavern, kickstarting a busy period for the band who have also recently released a live album, Live At The OBT.
HEAVY caught up with bass player Tobias, guitarist Jess and vocalist Joey to find out more.
“It’s been awesome,” Joey started, speaking about their recent win at the Battle Of The Bands. “We get to play with The Living End, and I’m a massive, massive Living End fan.”
We broach the subject of a heavy band taking out top honours at a Triple M competition, with all three smiling at the thought.
“It shocked us just as much as it shocked everybody else, don’t worry,” Joey laughed. “We usually just go into those things because they’re a heap of fun and exposes us to a different crowd of people. It opens us up to the more stable local base of music fans, but no, we didn’t expect to win it. If you go back and watch it we were just as stunned as everybody else.”
“When they said our name I didn’t even hear it,” smiled Tobias. “I was just standing there, and they’re saying ‘come forward’, and I was like, what for? Did we win?”
In the full interview, the boys talk more about winning the Battle Of The Bands, who they are most looking forward to sharing the stage with at Lighthouse Rocks, if they are nervous about playing, what they hope to take out of the opportunity, having their music and an interview featured on Triple M, the three song recording component of the prize and what they plan to record with it, their recent live album, East Coast Alternative and what they hope to achieve as part of it, the Bundaberg metal scene, tonight’s Metal United World Wide show and more.
