We got up close and personal with Mitch and Jared from Skin & Bones, winners of the Foreshore Sound Search competition in 2010 and all round good blokes!
**Warning ladies** If Mitch starts playing you a B52's track, he's got the hots for you!
Who is your musical inspiration and why?
Mitch & Jared : There is far too many to name. But if we had to choose a few - Fake Blood, Phonat, Boys Noize, Jack Beats, Herve and PNAU.
What's the greatest thing you have seen on stage?
Mitch: Jared & I drove all the way to Newcastle in 2009 to see PNAU for the NYE celebrations. The atmosphere was intense, the lighting and sound were perfect, and they put on one hell of a show.
Jared: The year after that we went to Field Day to see Fake Blood. Despite us being outrageously hung-over it was amazing.
What's your most treasured possession?
Jared: My dog Baxter.
Mitchell: My external hard drive, I would cry like a little girl if it ever broke.
If you could be a character in a movie, who would you be?
Mitch: Ron Burgundy from Anchorman. Obviously.
Jared: George Jung from Blow.
What's your worst habit?
Mitch: Smoking.
Jared: Passive smoking
What's on your dream rider?
Mitch: I have never had a rider before, so I'd be pretty happy with some Coronas.
Jared: I could definitely go a few Coronas, maybe some Mangos?
Who would you most like to tour with?
Mitch: Jack Beats or Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. To be completely unrealistic I would love to tour with Daft Punk.
Jared: Would have to be Jack Beats
What would be your track of choice when serenading a woman?
Mitch: Rock Lobster - The B-52's
Jared: Anything by Luke Pickett usually does the job.
If you had the opportunity to head back in time, what advice would the '2011 you' give to your younger self?
Mitch: Don't speed on Christmas day 2009, It's not worth the fine. Also make large bets on Maykbe Diva at the Melbourne Cup.
What is happening with Skin & Bones at the moment?
Jared: Working hard in the studio at the moment. Original productions and some remixes from some local & national acts are on the way.
Mitch: Bringing a few new elements to the live show as well. Keep an eye out for these at Warehouse.
Who are the talented people working with you, and what drew you to them?
Jared: We work closely with DJ's/Producers like Shaolin, Ben Colin & Princi. Really cool guys and their combined wisdom makes producing music a lot easier for us.
Mitch: And they are all incredibly handsome.
What can we expect from you at Warehouse?
Mitch: Big bassline heavy music, Wobbly UK house and some classics.
Jared: Maybe some sneaky Dubstep too.
