Define your genre in five words or less:
Tantric super delay dance attack.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
The best description I’ve ever heard from a punter was that we were the aural equivalent of getting slapped in the face with peace. Other than that, a cross between The Prodigy, Anthony B and Rage Against The Machine.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
Colours of Ostrava Festival, Czech Republic 2010. We played to about 18,000 people who were bouncing the whole time and the vibe was incredible. Afterwards I got so smashed I fell asleep in a port-a-loo and lost my phone. True story.
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
It’s a tune called Solar Flare Fire. It’s got a huge pocket and an even bigger chorus and I think it’s everyone’s favourite tune to play. Plus I get to blow the Christ out of the trombone, which is always fun!
Where would you like to be in five years?
We’d love to be regulars on the European touring circuit, continuing to develop the sound of the band and maybe have a new album or two under our belt.
Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?
My pre-gig ritual involves doing 20 push-ups, 20 box jumps and sculling two glasses of OJ. Works every time.
Name an interview question you wish someone would ask you, and answer it.
Question: What is a secret skill of the band that no one would know about?
Answer: Sitting in cafés, eating big brekkies, and talking absolute nonsense.
If your music was a chocolate bar, which one would it be, and why?
Probably Rocky Road. A little bit of everything combined into something totally delicious, unique, and slightly sexual.
