Presumably you've been to the Newtown Festival before, what's your best memory? We used to live in a big shanty house on Australia St that backed onto the park, so Newtown Fest was basically in our backyard.

What's first and why — music or stalls or bars? Music, because we could always keep hydrated in our house. Reschs refreshes.

Favourite spot at the festival to chill and watch the world go by? The wall of the cemetery.

What would be your entry into the dog show? If a dalmatian and poodle had a puppy, then a labrador and a shih-tzu made a puppy, then by some crazy miracle those two puppies met and did the dirty, they would make a doodlelashihtzu.

Aside from the festival, what are your favourite Newtown locations? Camperdown park, IGA, 212 Blu, Sammy's house.

Why do you think your music is a good fit for the Newtown Festival? We try to emu- / late the sound of planes going / closely overhead. (haiku)

If you were to enter Miss Newtopia, open to any age or gender, what would be your secret to winning? Toilet paper in the bra… e'rrrrry time.

When and where are you performing on the day? 2pm at Newtopia Village Stage.
