JOHN SCOTT OF THE MARK OF CAIN TALKS TO THE ROCKPIT ABOUT THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN DATES, THE NEW ALBUM AND VIDEO and THE STORY SO FAR... |
---|
It's 29 years since The Mark of Cain was formed by brothers John and Kim Scott. Think of the world in 1984 and how much it has changed: mobile phones were the size of a brick, had 30 minute call times and took ten hours to charge; the internet as we know it was still a dream (or nightmare); and the music business was selling record numbers of new music format: CD's.
The Mark of Cain thankfully have stayed a constant, still agressive still forthright in their views and still making music that has made them one of the most striking and important Australian Rock Bands ever.
The Mark of Cain's latest album: 'Songs of the Third and Firth' is out now.

Mark: The “Milosovic” video is great as well, when did you put that together?
Fowlers, which is the second one, that’s an all ages, not that we get a lot of all ages! But, maybe we will because a lot of our fans are bringing their kids along!

John: I wanted to get out of here when I was younger, I hated it!! Then I did, I went overseas, but you can go rock climbing in the morning, and like thirty minutes later you can go sailing! Everything’s so easy to get to, it’s in a grid, and you can’t get lost. I like Melbourne and Sydney, Perth, would be my second favourite place, if I was going to go somewhere to work, but Adelaide’s good.

Mark: What have been some of your personal highlights over the years?
