So your band is in it for the long run?
I don’t know, I like lots of things other than
music – I’m sure one day I’ll want to do
something else as well as music but I think
we’ve got so much to experiment with and the
four of us love writing music and stuff and it will
be good to be able to do it for as long as you
want, you know?
It took a couple of years to bring out your
debut album – are you already writing the
next one?
I think we’ll put out the next one when we’re
ready – we won’t put out anything we don’t
like just to keep to some sort of schedule but I
know we’re going to push ourselves a little bit
because we want to put more music out there
– it’s fun and we did the long wait for everything
to come together for the first album, but we
haven’t written any songs yet, no.
How long are you in Brisbane – are you off
home soon or on another tour to promote
your new album?
Yeah, we are going to America for a little bit and
do some radio festivals things there and then
we are playing Summer Sonic in Japan – I’ve
never been so I’m excited – and then we’ve got
a headline tour in the UK which is the biggest
tour we’ve ever done really so it’s going to be
really scary but good and then yeah, we’ll see
what happens …
Did you get a chance to explore Byron while
you were there?
I had a dip in the sea and it was nice. Last
time when we came to Australia I was pretty
fearful of the sharks but this time I don’t know,
it sounds stupid but I couldn’t be bothered
worrying (laughs).
I know you probably don’t get much surf in
Camden which is where you guys hail from,
but have you ever had a surf?
