Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:

Our show at Beyond the Valley in Melbourne a year ago. It was our very first show and thinking about how much our live set has grown and the team we have working with us now is incredible.

One of our favourite shows was when we played on the Sunshine Coast at Big Pineapple Fields supporting RUFUS. Everything about it was incredible. 30 minutes before we played we didn’t think we’d be going forward with the show because of the rainy weather, but right before we were going to call it the weather cleared and the vibe was amazing. The crowd was amazing. RUFUS came down to watch and their hardworking crew was so helpful.

One day left before the apocalypse and you…:

Amy: Spend time/eat dumplings with the fam and friends.

Josh: If you’re talking about a zombie apocalypse I’d probably prepare my fortress and gather as many supplies as possible. I’ve seen a lot of apocalypse movies.
