term, in that I feel we play “Pop-music” as opposed to what’s on the charts
right now

5. where do you think you will be in 10 years?

In the kitchen, maybe in the lounge room.

6. what has been your best gig you have played so far?

Best gig would have to be our debut single launch @ The Healer in Brisbane
followed VERY closely by us opening for Ice Cream Hands @the Evelyn in
Melbourne last month, but the BIGGEST show we’ve ever done was the Big Day
Out this year.

7. what made you want to go out and play music?

A distinct lack of interest in doing anything else

Free
