What has been your favourite gig you’ve ve played to date?
"Supporting U2 at Rod Laver was pretty fun."
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?

They’d be all like ‘Magnets, how the fuck do they work?’ Peter Emptage (bassist in Where Were You At Lunch) and I (drummer) would just stand there with our arms crossed while Samaan Fieck (guitarist) played a series of tritones. They’d be like, ‘There are so many miracles up in this bitch!’ and then they’d disappear in a puff of smoke."

"We’re playing Thursday March 3 at Yah Yah’s with Francis Plagne, Slow Hog and Eric Demetriou. It’s the first show of a five week residency etc."
