Hometown: Sydney

Short description of your band and your music? My brother and I started this band once we stopped hating each other. We grew out of the dull night life of the Northern Beaches of Sydney. I guess when we played local bar or a house party it gave us kids something to do. Now, four years down the track, we still hold on to the same principles. Hold the attention of the drunks and keep people dancing wild. We started with a drummer and trombone player. We'll be bringing them along with our keyboardist and bari sax player.

What are you hoping to achieve from showcasing at BIGSOUND? This is our third BIGSOUND and each time it tends to shape the year ahead. The first time, I made a friend in Electric Empire that wrote a song with us and let me use his studio for ages. Last year, I got pissed with a Canadian manager that ended up moving to a mansion in Bel Air during our first tour and now it's our LA crib. We meet bands to play with, music fans with floors to sleep on and future drinking buds. If this BIGSOUND is half as successful as the last ones, I'll be slappy. Also, I want someone to ask us to play at Coachella.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at BIGSOUND? We haven't played many shows this year in Australia. But we've played more than 50 overseas. I'm far too keen for this show... I know I'm going to make a fool of myself somehow with this one. When we haven't been touring, we've been in the studio and will be releasing a single around the time of BIGSOUND. I don't know...I'm not going to make you come to our show...you're gonna have to make that decision for yourself.
