Songs

Text: Tristan Ceddia


This Thursday night Sydney’s Songs play the Hopetoun in Surry Hills accompanied by locals bands The Laurels and Danimals. Out of curiosity, I asked Song’s drummer Steve Uren why Songs are called Songs and what to expect from show…

I have no idea about the name really. The other geniuses in the band came up with the name before I joined. I didn’t really like it to be honest – so looked beyond it, knowing that inevitably I would meet tonnes of attractive people through knowing Max Doyle (singer and guitar player in Songs). For the show, it’s a pretty safe bet that we will play about 45 minutes of music, politely ask the sound guy to fix the monitors and be ignored… all that high profile rock’n'roll stuff really. No doubt a certain employee at the Hopetoun will probably treat you like dog-shit too. That’s better than watching television at home though right?

Songs perform Thursday September 10 at the Hopetoun. Show starts at 8pm.
