We sat down with Mammon's Throne to mostly chat about their new album My Body to the Worms, but as always we got distracted and ended up talking about everything from HSPs to South African steak restaurants.You can pre-order My Body to the Worms at their bandcamp:mammonsthrone.bandcamp.comAnd don't forget to check out their socials:instagram.com/mammonsthronefacebook.com/mammonsthrone

We were very lucky to follow around Shane & Leanne all day to talk about both the venues they run; the Last Chance Rock n Roll Bar & the Tote!
They're fantastic publicans and even better people giving everything they can to help keep Melbourne's live music scene alive.

Make sure you get out to gigs at these venues that are cornerstones for Australian music.
