Bio
Drunk Mums formed in Cairns about five years ago, in a microwave, early blues being the meat, tied down by some ranty garage cling wrap. They held Blood and Guts parties, helping unknown young bands get started as there was nowhere else to do so. Everyone lived in a battered old Queenslander which eventually burnt down, and as instead of work, played a residency at the infamous Johnos Blues Bar before its demise. Three years on, after some disastrous travelling in the US and Central America, where the tour van was stolen in Miami, along with all equipment, passports, money etc. the chaps regathered in Melbourne. Now playing a lot of shows and finishing their debut EP, filled with juicy tales of bank robbery, lives of young ruffians and finding beauty in benders. Stay tuned... EP is due in August. <object width="300" height="193"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/30aoThNJYvk?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/30aoThNJYvk?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="300" height="193"></embed></object>

"Finishing things off with a bang are the riotous and snake-hipped Drunk Mums, whose pulsating rhythms and garage surf riffs have sent punters all over Melbourne into a feverish dancing frenzy. Helmed by two spritely and spring-legged lead singers, the Mums will leave you with a big drunk smile on your pretty face." - Eugenie Cole, Unique Gift.

INTERVIEW: Drunk Mums

These boys may be called "Drunk Mums", but Paper-Deer is thinking that they should be called "Drunk Musicians" after hearing tales of their wild band-related adventures. Originally hailing from Cairns, the quirky poncho-wearing troubadours ended up in Melbourne where they have a tendency to infect punters with the head-shaking disease. (No, not rabies. The other one.)

Paper-Deer had a bit of a blast swapping words with the Drunk Mums boys about their grimey blues rock band, their alcoholic mothers and American soldiers.

Googling “Drunk Mums” turns up some very interesting results. Which is your favourite website from the resulting search? Most definitely the YouTube clip of the Dr. Phil’s episode about mums who drink. Heart stopping stuff.

Drunk Mums is an interesting name. Are your mums drunk, or do you like other people’s mothers drunk? All our mums were drunk during labour. This is a very random question, but Paper-Deer are obsessed with ponchos and capes. Where did your singer pick up his poncho that he wore at your Tote gig? Our Mexican friend’s vintage shop “Bam bams” in Williamstown.

May have to stalk your Mexican friend. Unless your MySpace biography is lying, the band started out in Cairns and ended up in Melbourne. How many cities and gigs were between these two cities, and how long did it take? We are all from Cairns and accidently ended up in Melbourne after our American self-funded unorganised tour was cut short due to our van being stolen by hombres in Miami. So with fuck nothing to our names we decided Melbourne was the next city to live.

What does each member of Drunk Mums bring to the mix? Joel the drummer brings hung-over stock market advice, Tim brings a debt to the band rider, Dean brings all the boys to the yard and Jake brings a stiffy.

Worst thing to ever happen to Drunk Mums onstage? On our way over to The States, we made a brief stop in Guam to play a show. Before the gig an American soldier spilt Dean’s scotch and coke. Feeling bad about it, the soldier replaced Dean’s drink and challenged Dean to a good old testosterone fuelled drink scull. Before realising he had skulled a full pot of straight scotch, Dean was passed out on stage by the second song.
