#NorthsideStory: Loose Tooth

Loose Tooth are a Melbourne three-piece who craft sweet guitar pop with frayed edges and swollen hearts. Life-long friends Etta Curry and Nellie Jackson met in crèche and spent nap time dreaming of creating a heavenly racket. Luc Dawson was drafted in on bass to transform their pop sketches into the sort of songs that stick in your head for days.

When Nellie and Luc visited our Studio + Factory + Store in Brunswick East ahead of their gigs at the Brunswick Music Festival, we took the opportunity to discuss everything from their favourite Brunswick hangouts to their perfect day, and of course all things music.  Here’s what they had to say…
