Define your genre in five words or less:
Deep ritualistic groove.
What do you love about making music?
Making music and making friends!
What do you hate about the music industry?
Genres, critics and people in it for the money.
Describe the worst gig you have ever played.
Maybe Golden Plains 2012. Our sampler was freaking out and playing everything out of time, and it was hard to look like a good band that night which was a real bummer, as the vibe of the night was excellent.
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
In a cupboard in Manhattan, with a jazz trumpeter and Prince Language.
If your music was a chocolate bar, which one would it be, and why?
I’d want it to be a classic that everyone loved such as a Snickers, but I’d say we’re more like some weird marshmallow biscuity one that hit the shelves of the petrol stations hard, and is now in supermarket obscurity somewhere.
How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments?
It’s a hard one sometimes. You’ve got to try and remain somewhat normal, and have something interesting to contribute that’s non-music related when you’re eating dinner with someone!
