Throwing Your Weight Around Backstage At THE WORLD IS A VAMPIRE FESTIVAL With BATTLESNAKE

Throwing Your Weight Around Backstage At THE WORLD IS A VAMPIRE FESTIVAL With BATTLESNAKE

Interview by Shannon-Lee Sloane and Kris Peters
One of the best things about music festivals is the opportunity to experience bands for the first time, who, for different reasons, you might otherwise not heard of.
Ever.
And One World Entertainment and the crew behind The World Is A Vampire Festival have done just that by bringing Sydney rock outfit Battlesnake out of the shadows and in front of a whole new audience.
Where these guys have been hiding and where they come from is anybody's guess going by the visual aspect to their performance, but according to their press release in the last 12 months they have gone from playing dingy dive bars to sharing the stage with The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane's Addiction.
Plus wedged in there was an invitation to open for a little known band that goes by the name of KISS...
Due to the above factors Battlesnake are the "hype" band of TWIAV tour and after seeing them play at the opening show at Eaton's Hill Hotel I have to say the hype is justified.
And then some.
If you have heard these guys before you already know, but if, like HEAVY you are only fresh on the wagon take a listen to the entertaining chat Kris Peters and Shannon-Lee Sloane had with the guys to find out everything you need to know - and some things you likely don't want to.
Battlesnake drop their self titled album on May 12. Pre orders are available now distrokid.com/hyperfollow/battlesnake/battlesnake
