Interview

Pfeiffer, a collaberation between former Brisbane musicians Mik Destar (Lewis), Emma Dyson and Matt Black (both Hunnicut), are bursting at the seams to bring their volatile blend of undiluted punk to audiences outside of their new hometown of Melbourne. Drawing influence from the old school punk scene, Destar is unequivocal about what first attracted Pfeiffer to a world where the attitudes and music are razor-sharp. "The old-school punk movement was when the crowd was drunk and there was real glue in their mo-hawks. Anarchy was a lifestyle, not a slogan, and the music was fuckin' loud. All of which are rules that Pfeiffer abide by today." While the founding members of the band hail from diverse creative backgrounds, they discovered they shared a common love of bands like The Clash and The Ramones, in addition to a shared vision to create dynamic and edgy music. Destar describes Pfeiffer's music and how their previous musical incarnations have influenced their sound. "Pfeiffer was once described as a musical onomatopoeia. Each member brings a different but very natural feel to the Pfeiffer sound, ranging from Californian punk to old-school and even rockabilly. As for borrowing from our previous bands' styles...let's just say we've all learnt from our past mistakes." New single ' The Dumb Are The Educated' is a potent yet melodic swipe at a powerful but uncaring ruling class. Vocalist Emma Dyson explains further. "The educated people make dumb decisions on behalf of a society that they obviously consider dumb. It's a political song and is based around this central irony that the dumb are the educated." Those smart enough to know good music will make sure they catch Pfeiffer their first Queensland tour. Pfeiffer play at The Rev Thursday Aug 19, The Alley Friday Aug 20 and The Rev Sunday Aug 22 (all-ages, 12pm). The Dumb Are The Educated out now through Valenteen/MGM
