Today’s Featured Artist – INTERVIEW – Lost Dogs of Ultimo

Tell us about:  

Your latest single you have released:

The Wanderer 

Your favourite lyric in this song: 

This is an avante garde piece if experimental music the Vocal is used as an instrument rather that lyrics 

Your favourite song that you have created that is an album track:

I wrote a song called Death plays the final chord it was a throw away lime from a John Lydon interview I took it and recorded the song it really punches along with a grinding guitar and powerful Kick snare drum.

Your favourite song to play live:

This has to be Death Plays The Final Chord due to its simplicity and powerful energy from the opening chord 

The song that was the longest to write and why?

Driving The Rhythm Of My Mind its theme is Mental Health awareness thats a great topic that needs to be talked about and normalised 

Your most emotional track:

Make People Happy after the heavy  topics of Death and Mental Health it was fitting to lift the vibe and say live each day like its your last, have fun and be positive. Emotionally this transitioned well with the  project pathway as a writer and a composer  

Dream collaboration:

Paul Simonon from The Clash and Charlotte Cooper from The Subways are my favourite bass players and fusing both their individual bass sounds and techniques would be great as a songwriter and producer Collaborations are my thing so this would be an  easy day int studio for me 

Describe the feeling you get when you walk on stage to do a show:

Its always exciting sharing your art and music with people and getting that connection from live performance and the immediacy thru audience feedback  is fantastic 

The hardest track to play live:

Smith Street Shuffle which was one of the early recordings with multiple effects and samples mashing up a driving energetic Punk style instrumental 

Essential items you always take on tour with you?

I always write using a note pad and pen so creativity can hit me anytime day or night so them items travel everywhere with me 

Describe your fans in three words:

Kind Tolerant Humans

A song by another artist or band you wish you had written:

Get Down Moses by Joe Strummer in The Mescaleros 

What we can look forward to from your band this year: 

New tracks released in early Feb just finishing off in the studio now the sound is Big layered heavy bass tracks and Fuzz distortion guitar using Hip Hop Drum beats
