  • Straight Mate Grinspoon Lead Singer, Phil Jamieson Has
    STRAIGHT MATE GRINSPOON LEAD SINGER, PHIL JAMIESON HAS TAKEN A SURPRISING, THEATRICAL CAREER TWIST. HE TELLS MATT MYERS ABOUT HIS ROLE IN THE GREEN DAY MUSICAL, AMERICAN IDIOT. DNA: We know you as the lead singer of Grinspoon, and now here you are in American Idiot doing musical theatre. How did that come about? Phil Jamieson: Last year my management said they had something a bit left-of- center that may be of interest. I said yes immediately because it sounded different and fun. I didn’t realise just how challenging it would be. In rehearsals I thought, “I can’t do this” and “I can’t do that”. I was flabbergasted. I was sharing the role with Chris Cheney from The Living End and we were comparing notes going, “Whoa!” And I was surrounded by all these incredibly talented young people who could sing, dance, act, and do cartwheels, so it was all fairly intimidating. Ultimately, I got my groove on, relaxed and enjoyed it. It was really flattering to be asked back for the touring season. I’ve gotten so much out of this, including a wonderful sense of camaraderie, teamwork and great friendships. For those who haven’t seen American Idiot, can you explain your character, St Jimmy? I encourage one of the main characters to indulge. The story centres around three young men living in Jingletown, USA, and they’re disillusioned with life. One of them, Johnny, moves to the city and meets me, where I live in the alleys! I’m that person who sits on your shoulder.
