Continuing with my MARCS and ARIA collaboration, I present to you Nicholas. A lover of Australian music, Nicholas is a student at the University of Sydney by day and a barman by night. He is rockin’ out in The Birds Of Tokyo T-shirt by MARCS.
What was the last concert you attended?
– Foals at the Enmore Theatre. They were mental. Such high energy. Yannis, the lead singer, managed to jump off a balcony and crowd surf for a good few minutes.
Have you ever owned a band T-shirt?
– I bought one from Big Day Out when I was sixteen. It lasted as my ‘coolest shirt’ for about a week, then quickly became the T-shirt I slept in.
What makes a great band T-Shirt?
– Simplicity. A T-shirt is something you want to be able to wear easily and effortlessly, multiple times. But it still needs to be a bit edgy and cool. 
What do you prefer, a live band or a DJ?
– DJ’s are good fun, but nothing can beat the feeling and energy of a live band. Unless the DJ is playing their own stuff, like when I saw Disclosure at Listen Out. Brilliant.
What is your all-time favourite band?
– I have to be patriotic here and say The Jezabels. Their songs are so emotion-packed and musically brilliant. I love everything they’ve made.
This project is a collaboration with iconic Australian fashion brand MARCS and ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association). MARCS has launched five limited edition band T-shirts, all designed to support the #UnitedByMusic campaign. Let’s support our home grown Aussie music!
