Special Interview: Bob Evans

theaussieword.com catches up with Bob Evans.

Give us an introduction. How did it all begin? What had you first interested in music? I was drawn to music pretty young.  When I was about 7 I used to love the tv show Fame about the performing arts school in New York.  I asked my mum to enrol me in dancing classes which I did til I was 12.  By the time I was a teenager the dancing gave way to playing guitar and lots of acting in amateur theatre productions.  When I was about 14 I discovered Ratcat which turned me on to pop songs played really loudly and noisily and soon after that I discovered Nirvana and by the time I was 15 I was a total grunge kid

What motivates or influences you in your quest to make great music? Just trying new things and setting myself new challenges.  I’m always listening to music and looking to discover new music, often by going back rather than what is current because there is so much music from the past that I missed and want to appreciate.
