What do you hope listeners will get from your music?
We hope they find it hard to classify and we hope it somehow removes them from their everyday life. We hope that they can relate somehow and that they nod along and get a melody stuck in their head.
What’s the best gig you ever played?
Probably at a festival just north of Sydney called Peats Ridge in 2009. We played to a full tent of people and they were really into it and the energy was reciprocating and buzzing. It was a really fun show, just an awesome vibe, and it's in a beautiful setting in this amazing valley.
What’s your prediction for the next big advancement in how we find/listen to/share music?
In Australia hopefully we will get some streaming sites like Pandora. We don't have those here like in The States. I think YouTube has emerged as the way youngsters find music. I'm not sure if there's going to be a massive change in the technology, just slowly getting better definition and more and more music. I don't always keep up to date on these things though, maybe there's something revolutionary happening while I'm busy listening to records.
What’s your favorite way/tool/site for you to interact with your fans in the digital age? Do you recommend anything to other artists?
We've just come back to using our website actually. We were using Facebook and lots of other social media, but we've just put up a new site and are trying to make that the hub to pull it all together. I'm enjoying having that, it is just our website and you can get people that really care about your band and there are no distractions pulling them away.
What’s your next big gig coming up? When/Where?
We are playing FBI Social in Kings Cross, Saturday 8th October.
