EP Focus: Pretty City

Answered by: Drew Schapper

EP title? Triple A-side single: Melt, Running Around, Second Hand Clothes

How many releases do you have now? Seven.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? We were playing live a lot, and we really wanted to capture the live energy in the recording. We’d also been on tour and really wanted to transpose that experience into our recordings.

What’s your favourite song on it? My favourite song is Melt. It’s everything I love in music: big, epic and explosive, but still groovy.

We’ll like this EP if we like... The Stone Roses, The Music, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Pink Floyd, Cream, Tame Impala, Flyying Colours. 

When and where is your launch/next gig? 8 Jul, Frankie’s Pizza By The Slice; 9 Jul, Marlborough Hotel; 10 Jul, Hamilton Station Hotel.
