"It's what I've been working for my whole life."
After extensive enquiries by the judge, the man described the band's sound as "very bluesy, early 70's inspired, psychedelic rock".
"Done with or without substances?" Judge Fraser asked.
"When you talk about psychedelic rock, I'm a little concerned."
The defendant reassured him the music industry had changed and then attempted to explain the incident that saw him hauled before the court.
"I was in a bad relationship that was kind of doomed from the start and I was trying to get out of it for a long time," he said.
"I'm not making light of what happened by any means but I tried to get her out of the situation and it went really bad. It was an accident, it wasn't a malicious attack in any way."
But Judge Fraser disputed the explanation of innocence.
"The summary doesn't suggest it wasn't malicious ... someone was lying on the ground and was kicked in the left side of the body," he said.
The defendant explained the incident had happened at his work Christmas party when his then partner began arguing with a third party.
"We had both been drinking and I reacted badly and handled her the wrong way which caused her to fall and hit her head on the gate," he said.
Sentencing will take place in November and the judge said he would need to see evidence of the European record contract before considering a discharge without conviction.
Permanent name suppression will also be addressed at the hearing.
