Interview by Kris Peters
Magic DOES happen!
Weary Wizards Federation are coming back after a brief slumber and have declared a welcome home party for one and all Mo’s Desert Clubhouse on May 16. While your attendance stops short of being compulsory, if you’re NOT there you will miss out on not only the Wizards’ first live performance in over 365 days, but also the debut show from the fresh assortment of Wizards who now call the stage their home as part of Weary Wizards Federation.
The Weary Wizards Federation have awoken from hibernation and are ready to once more unleash a thunderous sound rich in sonic beauty. And what would a welcome home party be without a few friends? Pretty boring that’s what! So to ensure everybody enjoys themselves Chase the Wolves, Birds are Fake, and Dirty Jox have all sent in their RSVP’s with a promise to do justice to this momentous occassion.
Even better, you can bring your aspiring Wizards and Enchantresses because the whole celebration will be open to music lovers of all ages. To catch up on all of the spellbinding happenings, HEAVY nailed down the man behind Weary Wizards Federation, Robert Nixon. One topic of discussion is preperations for the comeback show and how Robert is feeling only a week or so out.
"It's been a really interesting change for me," he measured. "From going from the previous members who were guys that have played in multiple bands and were very much familiar with playing on stage and in a band setting, to now, our new drummer Tom, it will be his first time playing in any kind of band. And the first time getting up on stage in front of a live audience. But he's stoked. He's pumped as. It's great for me - I have been doing this since I was 16 or 17 - so to see a guy doing his first show and to be lucky enough to get to do that at somewhere like Mo's Desert Clubhouse… We've struck it pretty lucky to be honest."
In the full interview, Robert talks more about the show and what to expects. He talks us through the three other bands playing - Dirty Jox, Birds Are Fake and Chase The Wolves - and what they bring to the table. We talk about the lunchtime start and the fact it is an all ages gig and the benefits of that to the next generation of music lovers plus the diversity of genres across all four bands.
We spoke about the re-recorded version of the band's 2023 debut EP and what to expect from that, including a brief history of Weary Wizards Federation and their plans moving forward plus more.
Weary Wizards Federation play at Mo's Desert Clubhouse, Saturday, May 16 with Dirty Jox, Birds Are Fake and Chase The Wolves. Show starts at 12 pm and is an all ages event.
