Hard rockin, heavy blues groovers MOJO ALICE have their debut album "Liquid Sin" out, with a couple of more new songs in the works! More music and time to play will align soon enough, the band goes on chatting more or less about their history, and how much else they got planned!
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Fate and the Universe put us together, we all answered the same advertisement: et voila!
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
Basically - Mojo is for the blues influence, the flecks of voodoo, beats, balls & guitar riffs you’ll find in our songs. Alice (reflective of Alice in Wonderland ) is for the story telling. Together - it just sounds weird enough to stick in your head and inevitably, that's what we want!
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
New Zealand is a honey pot of musical creativeness. We are based in Wellington which has always been known for its live music scene. There are a number of fab Kiwi bands around, a lot to list but a select few faves to mention are Devil Skin, Skinny Hobo’s, Alien Weaponry.4. How would you describe your style?
Honest Blues Rock...with balls!
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
‘Liquid Sin’ is our first album and consists of the first 9 songs we ever wrote. In a world FULL of filters, over production and fakery - we wanted to keep the sound very real and make sure what we presented as recordings would be the same if not better sound, you’d get from us at a live gig.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
Absolutely! We have a couple new songs that are now gig ready and a few others brewing...love it when the creative juices get flowing!
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
It's currently Winter here in NZ, been pretty cold of late and with Covid 19 the live scene has been in a state of hibernation. Thankfully - the lockdown was recently lifted and bars and clubs are starting to open again. This has us currently organizing some gigs here in NZ, while looking forward to some exciting plans for the coming Summer. Just waiting on the world to heal and the borders to open.
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?To make more music! Honestly, we are here for the ride and ready to see where the journey takes us
9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
You can check us out on Spotify- just search “Mojo Alice”…… and our album and merch is available at our website www.mojoaliceband.com.
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
How your hips just can't help but sway to Mojo Alice...LOL!
