Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a great rock n roll band? How and why do they stay together? How do they keep the magic alive? And where does all that great music come from? 

Todays guest are Ian Haug and Steve Bishop, two thirds of Brisbane band The Predators - who with John Collins - were the three founding members of drum roll… one rock group called Powderfinger. 

In this chat recorded just prior to their debut album EVERYBODY LOVES release in 2021 - we dig into their early days in the flourishing Brisbane music scene in the late 80s and 90 also known as BUMS - you’ll understand that later…  they talk about Powderfingers formation and the early days of gigging before discussing what makes a band tick, what kind of animal predator I would be and what brought them back together to make music as the The Predators today.

Before we get to it don’t forget to follow us wherever you get your podcasts - or subscribe to the show on Youtube. You can follow me @bradleymccawoffficial everywhere you get socials and why not share this episode with a friend. Yeah that sounds lovely… I bet they’ll love it. 

We kick off Ian and Steve talking about the early days of Powderfinger and my receiving what I thought was the coolest press release in our shows history.
