Australian band’s decision to remove catalogue in protest of CEO’s military investments an easy one, frontman says, and making music with friends remains ‘top of the triangle’
“We have done a lot of different things over the years, but sometimes you just forget that you have free will – you can do whatever you want in these spaces,” says frontman and de facto bandleader Stu Mackenzie over the phone in September. “I don’t particularly want to try to start a movement or something like that – I’m happy if other people join. But for us, it was a decision about our music and a decision about what we think is right and what we think is not right. [We decided] we’re just gonna walk and deal with consequences later.”
