Interview by Kris Peters
Moondoll 2023 hits the Mansfield Tavern in Brisbane this Saturday, and, as usual, has a bumper line-up including PistonFist, Avalanche, Bluntfield, The Silencio, Jollee, Chavez Cartel, East Coast Alien, Mecha Mecha, Dirty Liars, Viper Syndicate, Clam Sandwhich, Engraved and more.
To be held over two stages with lots of entertainment variety to keep you interested throughout, Moondoll is fast growing to becoming one of South East Queenslands premiere annual events.
HEAVY caught up with Avalanche during the week to find out what joy they will be bringing to Moondoll.
"We're really keen to be playing Moondoll on June 3rd," vocalist Steven Campbell enthused. "We're keen to get back into Queensland. We haven't been there since late last year so we are super keen to get back and give the fans what they want."
This isn't Avalanche's first time playing Moondoll either, with the band having fond memories of previous visits.
"We've been lucky enough to play a few times up in Brisbane," Steven smiled. "Last year was the biggest for us coming up to Queensland, I think we did two or three different shows. They have always been the wildest shows. Everybody there is just crazy."
"We've met some of our best, dedicated fans up there in Queensland," added lead guitarist Veronica Campbell. It's the first show we have ever played where people were lining up outside the door waiting for us."
"We even had a couple of fans who travelled 3 or 4 hours to come and see us," Steven finished.
In the full interview, Steven and Veronica talk about the importance of all Australian shows like Moondoll that focus on the emerging bands more so than the already established, what we can expect from Avalanche, supporting The Poor, their most recent track Sweet Baby Brown Eyes and how it was received, the possibility of doing more songs from that album which Steven's Father played on, new music, when it will be out and what it will sound like, future touring plans and more.
