Hello!
In this post, I am sharing with you an interview with a young, up-and-coming musician named Harvey Karate.
What inspired you to get into music?
Listening and seeing other musicians play music. I wanted to be just like them.
Has it always been a passion or have you wanted to do anything else, like sports or acting?
I used to do tennis and tap dancing but music has always been underlying throughout my life.
What type of music are you into?
I enjoy many genres as long as they are interesting. My favourite genre would probably be psychedelic rock or alternative music.
Who are your favourite artists?
The Beatles, Tame Impala, Pond, the Flaming Lips, MGMT, Alex G, Melodys Echo Chamber, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Grandaddy.
You go to a performing arts school. How is it different to a normal, non performing arts school?
I assume that other schools have extra subjects such as religion, society and stuff like that. At my school, those kinds of subjects are replaced with music, drama or dance
How does it help with your music endeavours?
Music at my school helps me learn a little more about music theory and music history. It also gets me playing music more regularly.
You're in a band called 'The Lazy Eyes', when and how did it form?
Noah, Itay and I have been playing music and I have been playing music together since 2014 and did some busking around Sydney under the name of "Pets in Parks" but we soon found that 3 members was quite limiting. It was around 2016 when we recruited our bass player Blake which made it a heap easier to play the genre of music we wanted to.
How did you come up with the name of the band?
Itay heard a lyric in a song about a lazy eye or something. We had tried coming up with band names for ages and this one seemed to click.
What genre of music do you guys perform?
We are a psychedelic rock band.
Do you write your own songs?
Itay and I write the songs for the band.
Where can fans/people listen to your music?
We have a soundcloud page with a bunch of demos on there.
Will The Lazy Eyes be releasing a single or EP? If yes, when?
We are soon to release our first proper EP which should be on all the platforms like iTunes and Spotify.
If anyone wants to contact you or keep up with what you're doing, how can they do that?
We have a Faceook and Instagram page! You can message us through there if you want.
Are you going to continue with music after you've finished school?
Yeah we will continue with music but its hard to say whether we can do the band full time. That would be the dream.
Who are your biggest inspirations?
Kevin Parker is quite a big inspiration. I feel quite relatable to him and his music.
Harvey, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me today.
