Scarlet Chase Q&A


Your name: 
Dan.

Where are you from? 
We're from Sydney, Australia!

Name of band: 
Scarlet Chase.

Who else is in your band? 
We have the wonderful Chrissy McHugh on pipes, Matt Thornton working the sleazy baselines and myself on six strings of hell and skins in the studio! Depending on the time and place, we have a few drummers that work with us depending on the situation. This always keeps us on our feet! 

How would you describe yourselves? 
There's one line that has summed us up from the very beginning and that's ‘Hard Rock branded with a liberal smattering of badass attitude!’ and we remind ourselves of this everyday! 

Who are your main influences musically? 
We all have a variety of influences, some in common, some very far from the norm, but when it comes to Scarlet Chase our biggest influences are each other and that keeps 'the motor oiled'. There's nothing more inspiring than hearing a rockin' bass-line come out of Matt's hands or a twisted tale on pipes that sends shivers down your spine from Chrissy! 

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
It's going to sound super cheesy but to us it's all ‘music and family’, and by family we mean the fans, the supporters, the radio stations, the journalists, the bloggers, the people listening to Scarlet Chase! It's really important to us to build a relationship with each and every fan, we spend a huge amount of time online and off getting to know everyone and we've made a lot of cool friends. So I guess to answer what we want to achieve in music, it's simple: we want to create an experience, an opportunity that will bring everyone together! We want to meet each and every Scarlet Chase fan and everyone who is helping out! In a way you can think of it as one really large dysfunctional rockin' family! 

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? To us, it's putting in the hard work and seeing people enjoy it! There are definitely a few smiles from us whenever we notice a few random Scarlet Chase fans from across the globe become friends through their mutual relationship with us. Ha, again. Super-Cheese-Supreme! 

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
There isn't one! It's all about learning from mistakes and being on the same page. Whenever there's a slight problem, we think quick and get ourselves through it! We celebrate the bad times as much as the good times! 

If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why? 
We've always felt ‘Like it Rough’ sums us up. We're not some female fronted pop band, we like our music and our shows rough and messy and we all have our own translation of what ‘Like it Rough’ is. In a way it's actually about our own motivation we bring to Scarlet Chase. 

Where can we listen to it? 
Jump onto scarletchase.com or hit us up on iTunes. 




Where can we find out more about your music? 
Where can't you! Well most importantly, we live on twitter & instagram! So find @scarlet_chase on either and come say hi! If you're a Facebook lover, fb.com/scarletchase - all our videos & ridiculous behind the scenes footage ends up on YouTube.com/scarletchaserocks / YouTube.com/scarletchase1 & then of course we release a lot of info about what's happening and even our day to day lives through our mailing list which you can sign up @ www.scarletchase.com

Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask? 
We'll end it on a Thank You! It's the fans, supporters & the people willing to take a few minutes out of their busy day to help us out, just like Greg with this interview that help us continue what we're doing! Rock!
