Album title? Any Given Weekend
Where did the title of your new album come from? Jackson thought it up. It seems to carry the general feeling of where the band is at right now in terms of lifestyle; I think that is something other people can relate to.
How many releases do you have now? One EP, two ‘one-off’ singles, and now our debut album.
How long did it take to write/record? Over a year. We took our time as we were still figuring out what sort of musical direction we wanted to take.
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Our many great experiences of live music and festivals is what we draw from the most when writing. We also have a folder of amazing photos of animals, nature and beautiful people.
What’s your favourite song on it? The title track Any Given Weekend. It’s wonky and ballsy.
Will you do anything differently next time? It’s a lot of work for a band to produce, perform, write, mix and master their own record. It would be good having someone outside the band help next time.
When and where is your launch/next gig? We are on tour throughout Australia. 25 Jun, Beach Road Hotel; 26 Jun, Rad Bar, Wollongong; 27 Jun, Transit Bar, Canberra; 28 Jun, Newtown Social Club; 29 Jun, The Lair; 2 Jul, The Small Ballroom, Newcastle
