Six bad habits you can’t escape:

Sending messages about the person to the person by accident, finishing other people’s meals, reddit, all preach no practice, sneaky cheesys and cheese in general.

Four things that turn you on:

Manners, leather jogging pants, Brian Eno and cheese.

Three goals for your music:

Honey, coffee and sauna sponsorships.

  

Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:

The great Hugo Weaving grabbed my shoulder at a gallery opening and said “Fucking awesome beard mate!” I was a blushing weak-kneed mess, unforgettable. We played a show at Wollongong Uni a few months back. I was wearing some jeans that were way too tight, as I stepped onto stage I ripped the entire crotch out and I had no underdacks on! .. and yeah.. it was a cold night! I always take a spare pair now, seriously.

One day left before the apocalypse and you…

Go on reddit and read about our impending doom.

  

When’s the gig / release?

Leisure Coast album launch show: Friday October 18 at The Workers Club.
