LISTEN TO HOW?
IN 4 WORDS HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC?
"Your New Favourite Band."
HAVE YOU BEEN TO KNOCKANSTOCKAN BEFORE? IF SO, WHAT WAS WAS YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORY?
"The band was kind of born at Knockanstockan. It's where we met and decided to start a band. We played it the next year and it was great. Crowd surfing, stage diving and an on-stage strip tease (not by us) followed by a wrestling match with security. It was great. So when they asked us to come back for their tenth year, it felt right."
OTHER THAN ON STAGE, WHERE ARE WE MOST LIKELY TO FIND YOU AT A FESTIVAL?
"We just float around, check out bands and do the usual festival stuff: have as good a time as possible and try not to pass out..."
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM A LIVE SHOW?
"See answer 2, and expect to be singing along by the end of it."
DESCRIBE YOUR BEST FESTIVAL DANCE MOVE.
"The ol' standard awkward-Irish-person-who-doesn't-know-what-to-do-with-their-hands dance. It's a classic."
YOU'RE MAKING A PARTY PLAYLIST. WHAT SONG IS FIRST ON THE LIST?
"Andrew WK's tenable debut 'I Get Wet'. On repeat."
WHAT ARE YOUR MUSICAL PLANS FOR THE REST OF 2016?
"We just got back from LA where we were recording a brand new EP. The first single off it comes out in July, followed by the full release in Autumn. So we'll be releasing that and continuing our campaign for world domination. Oh, and lots of touring."
PACKING-WHAT'D BE YOUR ONE LUXURY?
"Good weather! The ultimate luxury. Unfortunately you can't pack that though, so we'll just go with pop-up tent. People always look so smug with their pop-up tents..."
