"It’s just about getting those key songs written, then seeing what clicks and what doesn’t really.”

"We’re really focused on ensuring that we don’t write material that will be great for the studio but really hard to do live."

"We don’t bother with all the effects and other sonic ‘bells and whistles’ some black metal bands lean on."

Perth producer TA-KU commits to those beats, delivering glitterwave, electronic, future beat and trap in a collection of polished and dynamic tracks.

We go one on one with dance music maestro Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo aka The Bloody Beetroots just in time for his Big Day Out tour.

"I think I’ve just been in love with pop songs for a very long time, so it’s nice that I’m able to pursue that on some level.”

“There are pros and cons to both obviously, but I think overall I prefer to play our own gigs because you have a lot more freedom to design a set-list – when you’re headlining you get a much larger chunk of time to do your thing."

"The band is stronger than ever – what you can expect is a really tight band."

"I’ve heard he likes to do things with the microphone. I think we played after him at one show and I think he may’ve had it down his pants.”

“It’s pretty funny really ‘cause I can’t really play any instrument. I don’t know what chords are or anything like that."

"There’s times where we’d love to be in a garage rock band and just get maggot and go nuts on stage, but for our music I think we need to be a little more on the ball and polished."

“Music is fabulous, but it can really take a toll on your normalcy. I’m not saying that everyone has to be normal, but I have a certain desire to have a family and I have a certain desire to keep my scientific career going."
