Amyl & the Sniffers have won three ARIA Awards, One Air Award and three Music Victoria Awards but to them that’s not what its all about.
Amyl & The Sniffers’ singer Amy Taylor tells Noise11.com, “It is a fun celebration but thing doesn’t make the work worthwhile. It is really great to be recognised, it’s fun to have accolades and it’s a good little inflation of your ego but that’s not the stuff that does it. I also feel like when we were at the ARIA Awards, it was fun to dress up, it was fun to have drinks and fun to hang out. I just feel it’s not something that’s sustainable because I feel like outside a select handful of people nobody really cared about it which is also fine. The thing that makes it worthwhile is getting to perform all the while, getting to be around music all the time, getting to write music when we see fit and the fact we don’t have to live inside like normal society day to day. Me and the boys have the weirdest lives. So do lots of touring musicians. You are essentially a carney. To me that is the reward.
On April 15 Amyl & The Sniffers will join The Smashing Pumpkins, Jane’s Addiction, Redhook and Battlesnake for The World Is A Vampire tour starting Saturday in Queensland.
