Album title? Rootin' Tootin'
Where did the title of your new album come from? The title came from a country colloquial term meaning, loosely, a good time. See: "rootin' tootin' time last night". Also in reference to the album having a roots, country, rockabilly feel.
How many releases do you have now? Two releases. Our first was Rockabilly Girl (2016) and now in 2017 Rootin' Tootin'.

How long did it take to write/record? The writing process was around nine months and the recording process was off and on over three months. So in all around a year in total.
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? We started recording a mix of songs we'd written. But as the recording process ensued we found a strong roots/country element so we were inspired to drop and add songs to suit.
What's your favourite song on it? We like them all, although we do kick off with two elemental tracks: Don't Bay Me and Hurting Kind.
Will you do anything differently next time? When perfectionism kicks in there are always tweaks, but we are overwhelmingly satisfied that we've captured the spirit and vibe we were hoping for.
When and where is your launch/next gig? 4 Feb, Shepparton Shakeout Festival, Shepparton Showgrounds; 12 Feb, Sydney Rock'n'Roll & Alternative Market, Manning Bar
