It's important to have goals, but it's also important to have dreams.
Mecha Mecha have a few, and the incredible ability to remember theirs – usually I just wake up in tears and go and make coffee.The Brisbane neo-classical metal, dark indie three-piece have also released their newest single 'My Hero The Homewrecker' – a song written about friendship spawned from a failed romantic relationship.
Here are Mecha Mecha's favourite Australian music industry fantasies they believe will do more to further their career than any conventional form of industry success.
5: Be featured as guests on 'Spicks And Specks', an Australia vs New Zealand special. The panel is as follows. Australia: Mecha Mecha, Hannah Gatsby, Russell Crowe. New Zealand: Flight Of The Conchords, Anna Paquin, Taika Waititi.
A furious argument ensues, that goes beyond comedic banter into a serious squabble about who owns Crowded House. It's a fierce shout-off, until the altercation nearly becomes physical after Jemaine Clement points out that despite Russell Crowe's love for the Australian pub rock scene, he was also born in New Zealand.
4: As fellow guests on a radio show with Steve Hughes, we enjoy a hearty conversation about the lack of Australian media coverage that Jim Jefferies gets despite him literally being the most successful comedian Australia has.
Then we talk about the best metal bands, and argue about whether Twelve Foot Ninja or Osaka Punch is a better band.
3: Aunty Donna invite us to be featured on a live stream, only to reveal at the end that they despise our music, and the invitation was a ploy to humiliate us in a mean, yet somehow not insidious plot to create edgy entertainment, using a band they don't like as casualties of the skit.
The zenith occurs when they realise we're not Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and it's all been a huge confusion, the funniest aspect for the viewers is the awkwardness of the entire interaction.
2: In an unprecedented scandal, Muse's previous Australian record label Mushroom Entertainment, redacts any instance of the band's name, music and general evidence of their existence from the Australian public consciousness, and are eventually forgotten.
Mecha Mecha are praised for forging a unique, neo-classical and powerful sound which has never been heard before and Walter never has to hear comparisons to the 'M-word' ever again.
1: We've landed a support gig with The Basics. Gotye hears our music and decides to become our producer and recording engineer. We record an entire album in a studio located inside of his mouth, thus fulfilling the prophecy that he would one day return to the music scene after a 12-year break.
Bonus: After a Something For Kate show, Walter climbs on top of Isaac's shoulders, their combined heights bringing his face to be just above Paul Dempsey's eye level, facilitating a kiss on the forehead for all the wonderful songs he has written.
Mecha Mecha play Moondoll Festival at Mansfield Tavern (Brisbane) 3 June.
