“We’ve got light shows and we’re doing an eight camera video shoot for this one. We’ll be doing a multi-track recording as well, so basically we’re recording as much as possible and then releasing stuff from that."

“I’d wanted to start co-writing to just learn how other people write – I have my own set ways and it’s kind of dangerous getting stuck in ways – you don’t learn anything – and so I wanted to go and write with people that do it all the time."

“It’s the most excited I’ve felt about the band since we’ve started. I just feel like it’s fresh... The whole thing’s a long journey, it’s just fun to live it out.”

"There are other DJs out there who are brilliant, but I feel like Gusto is my fam, you know? He is like one of my best mates and I couldn’t just replace him. So we turned the live show into a band."

“They’re not looking for the same old bands anymore [over there]; they’re looking for something new. Hopefully we can give that to them.”

Dave Larkin talks music ahead of his band's upcoming Melbourne shows.

“I really want to develop my own show. Like, my own live show with visuals and lighting and all that sort of stuff. That’s mainly what I’ve been working towards over the past couple of years."

“I wanted it still to be accessible – I tried to write about it in a way that where it came to the point that I was living the things that were happening and writing about them in relation to the book, but also writing about them from my point of view."

“I don’t like having things out of print, so if I can re-release things that’s great. When things sell out, why not make them available?"

"We gigged for years and years and years and ultimately just had to take a break to spend some time just enjoying making music. Let It All In was a very different process.”

“I really don’t feel that the albums capture my best moments. I always feel like they are my worst moments. I have never been happy with any of the recordings I have done – I hate them!"

“There are two songs that have been inspired directly from existential thoughts brought on by a time in my life when I was having an emotional, destructive relationship; they form something of a memoir.”
