Define your genre in five words or less:
Dreamy, jangly, indie rock.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Mystery Jets, The Horrors, Peace.
What do you love about making music?
The freedom to create whatever you like.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Tom Petty, because he is one of my songwriting heroes and he just seems like he’d be a good listener.
So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?
Man, I wish they played this kind of stuff on the radio.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
Our debut album Sea Of Bright Lights came out in October. You can get it on iTunes or at any good record store. If they don’t have it, ask them for it. It’s probably out the back under the pile of Adele records.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
It was at Pianos in NYC during CMJ. When we arrived in NYC, all our baggage was lost. All we had was the clothes on our back and our first show was in six hours. So we had to borrow whatever we could from the other bands on the bill, and the show was just awesome!
Describe the worst gig you have ever played.
Chicago in a sports bar during a college NFL game. As soon as we started playing they came and put a giant plastic screen in front of us because we were too loud.
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
I wrote it with my friend and fellow Adelaide DJ/producer Luke Million. We used old ‘80s drum machines.
What’s your favourite song, and why?
I have a few. One of them is Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way. Killer drum groove, balanced with the acoustic guitar groove, quintessential Stevie and Lyndsey harmonies, and the simple yet cutting lyrics make it the perfect break up song.
When’s the gig and with who?
Saturday May 18 at Black Night Crash at The Rochester Castle, Johnson St.
