Getting to know Turpentine Babycino

Mulubinba/Newcastle-based indie-punk band Turpentine Babycino have just revealed their new single, Calamity. We asked them to tell us about themselves:

We are… Turpentine Babycino, a high energy, hard rocking 4-piece band based on Awabakal and Worimi land (Newcastle NSW).

Calamity is… a fiery sophomore single heavily influenced by Blink-182 & Tired Lion with their catchy melodies & driving guitars.

Home is… Awabakal and Worimi land (NEWCASTLE NSW)

I spend too much time… 

Gabe: “Drumming” 

Georgie: “Doing admin” 

Manu: “On my phone” 

Cormac: “Watching foodtock”

I’ve never… 

Gabe: “Drank a beer”

Georgie: “Liked big cities” 

Manu: “Smoked a cigar that hasn’t been made in Cuba”

Cormac: “Been to the moon”

It might surprise people to learn that… 

Gabe: “I’m a silly muffin”

Georgie: “I can solve the Rubik’s cube in under a min and my record was 27 seconds when I was training.”

Manu: “I often prefer silence than listening to music”  

Cormac: “I love cooking myself in the sauna”
