Single Focus: The Vanns

Answered by: Jimmy Vann

Single title? I'm Not The One

What's the song about? A chaos lust affair. When harmless sexy fun turns pear-like and infatuation leads to a terminal situation. Flat line…

How long did it take to write/record? The song was written in a few hours and pulled together in an afternoon with the boys. The recording took a day to put down almost live and another day to mix. Done!

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? From a forthcoming EP we are recording in July. We're working with Nathan Sheehy again, who's a legend. Birds Of Tokyo just grabbed him to produce their album so we want him back in one piece.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Beer. The fairer sex. Late nights. Live shows. Loud music. Touring. Creative cooking on a budget of $3 a day. Small puppy dogs. Bloated gold fish. '80s porn. Lego. Spinal Tap. Disco Stu. And EONFM.

We'll like this song if we like... It's a bit like the Arctic Monkeys impregnating the Jet boys, or vice versa. Yes, definitely vice versa.

Do you play it differently live? Yes! We extend the solo and I go for a run in the crowd. There's crowd singing with some 'oohs' and 'aaahs'. Basically fun for the whole family.

When and where is your launch/next gig?: 14 May, The Evelyn Hotel, Fitzroy.
