IN 4 WORDS HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC?

"Melty. Rock. Lava. Agrosoul."

HAVE YOU BEEN TO KNOCKANSTOCKAN BEFORE? IF SO, WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORY

Stephen - "I played there last year as part of Loah’s band and it was absolutely lashing rain up until about thirty seconds before we started our slot. Everyone was hiding and trying to get some shelter until the rain was suddenly replaced with some glorious sunshine and the empty space in front of the stage was filled with quite a massive crowd of very happy people! Immediate fantastic vibes and an extremely enjoyable gig was the result!"

OTHER THAN ON STAGE, WHERE ARE WE MOST LIKELY TO FIND YOU AT THE FESTIVAL?

Jess - "Festivals are a wonderful time for musicians to catch up with other musicians who rarely get to see each other because of gigging. Because we work all weekend, it also allows us to catch up with all our 9-5 friends who we never see. So in general, festivals are a great way for catching up. You will find me under a tree, drinking gin from a plastic bottle and chin-wagging with pals."

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM A LIVE SHOW?

"Expect glitchy grooves, banging tunes and no mercy."

DESCRIBE YOUR BEST FESTIVAL DANCE MOVE.

"Danger dance. You put your hands in your pockets and jump 360. If you succeed, you survive."

YOU'RE MAKING A PARTY PLAYLIST. WHAT SONG IS FIRST ON THE LIST?

"The first song needs to create the atmosphere instead of being a banger so we’ll will pick one of our favourites, Tea Leaf Dancer by Flying Lotus/Andrea Triana. Just an all round DELISH song."

WHAT ARE YOUR MUSICAL PLANS FOR THE REST OF 2016?

"We release our 3rd single at the end of the summer, called Bear. Then we go back into the studio with more plans for world domination. In the meantime see us at KnockanStockan on the Friday for some dancing that’s full of danger."

PACKING-WHAT'D BE YOUR ONE LUXURY ITEM?

An umbrella! Makes you simultaneously look extremely uncool while also sending your popularity through the roof once the inevitable shower or two hits the festival! A gloriously confusing effect.
