Interview by Kris Peters
In a short amount of time Melbourne rock outfit Coolabah Kings have managed to use the power of music to entrench themselves musically in the hearts and ears of an Australian public yearning for more fun in their music.
Since announcing their arrival with the 2021 single Spineless, Coolabah Kings have sprinkled their infectious DNA through their debut EP Killing Time, highlighting a plethora of influences over a musical package that generates more hype with each passing release.
Now the trio are at it again, this time with the impending release of their infectious new single Stay Dangerous which is out on March 23.
Guitarist Harry Anderson sat down with HEAVY to draw us deeper into the world occupied by Coolabah Kings.
"It's just a scrappy little number," he shrugged of the track. "We're a no frills rock band (laughs). It's about growing older and losing touch with mates who are a little bit too wild, and even though you love them you can't really stick around them too long. You can't see them sticking around in your life so you push away from them and they stay dangerous and you stay safe."
In the full interview, Harry talks more about Stay Dangerous and what to expect, filming the video at Taste Police HQ, the guest appearance by Tommy Dynamite and what he brings to the track, if the single is stand alone or part of a bigger album picture, how Coolabah Kings have changed musically since Spineless to now, the single launch at Bar Open on March 31, future plans and more.
