Five minutes with BIGSOUND 2012 performer, Loon Lake.

This week Aunty Meredith announced the remaining acts for their 2012 event joining the likes of Grimes and The Sunnyboys.

Myles Heskett from Sydney band Good Heavens tells us about some of his favourite records.

"There are too many new labels or producers that put three utterly generic, disposable tracks up on Beatport or iTunes, spam Facebook a few times, get upset when they sell less than 30 downloads."

"It’s truly inspiring, there’s so much wonderful music and theatre and art out there, and I just want to suck it all up, I want to sleep with it and fuck it."

"It’s always fun to hit Queensland. And it’s great to get away from the fucking cold here too, I can tell you!"

“I feel like you write your best stuff when you are feeling your most vulnerable and emotional, and when you are ready to let stuff out of your system... Cathartic sums it up."

“It’s a bit corny, but sometimes you need to be corny to help a person out.”

"All our songs, they’re just improvised lyrics. All my friends seemed to be going away to America. It was more a cheeky little poke at that, and maybe a jealous poke."

"I really hope that people can pick the gems from the different types of music styles that are going to be represented on this tour, and just go above and beyond the limitations of just one genre."

"It’s natural that when you put something out that you think that you will get shitcanned."
