Give us a short description your music: Punky jangle pop can't-stop-won't-stop.

What is the best thing musically that's happened to your band so far? The genesis. Getting together with our instruments, realising we could actually make music together, and then progressing to playing live and recording/releasing real, actual songs that real people listen to, maybe even care about.

What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? How to use our voices to effectively convince people in positions of power in the industry - radio programmers, festival bookers, A&R people, etc - of the importance of diversity and inclusivity in a music scene.

Why should people come and see you among the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? Because our set will be savage, sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola, like superstars and cannonballs running through your Darren Hayes haircutted-head circa 1997.

What acts are on your must see list at BIGSOUND? Boat Show, Kardajala Kirridarra, RVG, Emerson Snowe, Good Morning, High-tails, Two Steps On The Water.

What do you reckon your percentage mix of business vs partying will be at BIGSOUND? 66% bizniz, 33% pleasure, 1% misc.

When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 6 Sep, The Zoo; 7 Sep, The Brightside.
