Give us a short description your music: I write and play with all I have. It's not flash but it's honest. 

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Too hard. Every show is different and has its own energy. 

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? I'm always up for a party but I can't say I had any expectations. My only real 'hope' is to play music as much as possible to people who give a fuck about it. 

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? As many as I can. 

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at the BIGSOUND showcase? So many, but Clairy Browne, Emily Wurramara and Leah Senior.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? Everyone has their own motivations. I don't know, if you decide to come I'll be very appreciative. But you're right, there are a lot of cool artists so just go with your gut, no pressure.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 7 Sep, Empire Hotel, 9.40pm.
