Episode 15: Abductess
Daverage Normal’s Average Podcast Show brings you closer to new and upcoming musical creators. Avoiding a rapid fire 20 question interview we aim to pose some key open questions which will allow the artist to discuss and go off on their own tangents about who they are. We will also listen to one of their tracks and discuss the creative process they went through in bringing it to life.
After the breakup of the world’s first business-metal band, Hostile Takeover, singer Ando decamped to Los Angeles and formed Abductees as a rockabilly group in 2017. A salubrious set of members – the drummer Sandwich, Dead Hands Eddy, Jimmy the Sleaze, Mrs Lady – came and left. The music got more and more messed up but remained informed by the seedy side of its surroundings, crafting tales of serial killers (Ted Bundy), Blade Runner Replicants (I Long For The Warmth of a Human Heart) and posing important questions (Who’s Gonna Be Your Axl Rose?). abductees now craft a kind of neo-grunge Seapunk informed by Art Brut, The Icarus Line, The Hives, Bo Diddley and The Human League.
You can find Abductees on Spotify.
