What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Being in a position to regularly make music.

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? Music party scene is over rated and so it should be. It's peripheral to being an artist and maintaining creative output.

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at the BIGSOUND showcase? Woodes, LANKS, Lucianblomkamp, Fortunes. Too many to mention. Looking forward to discovering things too.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? Saatsuma are doing something different with and exciting and it translates onstage to a unique and dynamic band with a lot of music still to be made.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 7 Sep, Ric's Bar, 8:10pm
