Mandy C

Name:Mandy

Email:mandyc@phm.gov.au

Location:I live in the inner city suburb of Chippendale, Sydney, Australia. In a dingy share house. Am looking to move to the beach real soon. Please please please let me find something affordable. Im thinking Coogee (by an astonishing co-incidence this is the suburb where SG first played in Sydney and where they stayed during the last tour), but I assure you that is not the reason I want to live there.

Occupation:I work at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney. I just finished work on an exhibition on the history of Chinese Dress, and it is a beauty. Im back at my old job where I look after the museum objects (artefacts, whatever)

How You Discovered SG:I saw them on Rage ages ago when `Outshined' first came out. A friend was over and he said that it was Soundgarden and I should give them a listen. I didnt bother at the time but a few weeks later they played a number of videos including `Hunger Strike'. ok Im shallow, it was in this clip that I noticed Chris looking as he does and I actually listened to the song. I asked my friend for a lend of `Badmotorfinger' and the rest is history.

Favourite Album/songs:Badmotorfinger is still my favourite album. I guess it's the quintessetial SG to me. Favourite songs.......Outshined, Jesus Christ Pose, Fell on Black Days.....

Live Experiences:Ive seen SG five times. There is nothing in particular I want to share, just that it was fantastic every time.

Other bands you like:Let me think....... Faith No More, Tool, Monster Magnet, Metallica, Nick Cave, Hanging Tree, Ruben Fry, Kylie Minogue (dont laugh, I think its and Australian thing, well maybe a Sydney thing), Iggy Pop, Jesus and Mary Chain, Duran Duran (an eighties thing).

Comments:Thanks for doing all this, its a big job but it should be fantastic when its finished, well done.
