I got a chance to interview Effects of Boredom a while back, thought you might all enjoy my report from it!!
Local Brisbane band Effects of Boredom recently played two
shows over the weekend of the 4th and 5th of May.
The band comprises of three members, Joe Rickard on guitar
and vocals, Brendan Byrne on bass and vocals, and Jade Dujmovic on the drums.
The band found it hard to conform to one genre of music.
“We are a genre-confused punk band” Mr. Rickard said
The local Brisbane band has been together for over a year
and a half and has played roughly 12 shows in the last 6 months.
Most recently the group graced the stage of Sn@p Wynnum and
Ric’s Bar in Fortitude Valley.
“This is a milestone for the band.
“When we first started we had always wanted to play Ric’s” Mr.
Rickard said.
They hope to release an EP at the end of the year to follow
up their demo that was released last November.
The band aims to have between 5 and 7 songs for the EP which
is planned to be released late November or early December.
Each song on the album is a collaborative song from the
three members, each person adding in a different component.
“Joe and I come up with the ideas, melodies and riffs, but
Jade ultimately decides what goes on the album.” Mr Byrne said.
In early years the group found it difficult to get gigs
because they lacked the experience and fan base needed.
As time progressed gigs started to come more frequently, yet
they are still turned down on occasion due to the number of Facebook fans they
have.
This is because they band feels that they need to work for
Facebook ‘Likes’ rather than just asking people to ‘Like’ the page with no
reason too.
“We don’t want to be that band that promotes themselves
constantly.
“We want to earn and work for our fans to like us.” Mr Rickard
said.
Effects of Boredom plan to be playing at Snitch or Thriller
within the near future.
