So we're all expecting a pretty big wall of sound from these guys
So what are you gonna be playing for us today?
Emmanuel Ciccolini, it's the first
Our second single coming out in late March, and yeah, it's named after my great-grandfather great-great-grandfather

_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ that really was something
There's a lot of energy and all that music you guys put out Blown away
So I guess that might have been one of the reasons that you guys managed to win the triple J unearthed high composition last year
They got you opening at harvest
Quite want it we became a finalist.
Yeah, but
_ Now that was certainly a
Really good experience.
I don't know.
I don't know just get noticed and be able to play those sorts of shows
Well, and um, how did you find just being part of the festival of that magnitude?
Like meeting all the really famous artists and stuff that was that pretty exciting as well
Yeah, it was it was good.
I mean like yeah, well obviously we weren't you know backstage mingling with you know
Portishead and and stuff like that, but um
It's good to you know, see yourself up on a bill, you know with all these artists and then you know
Even if you're somewhere down below it's you know, at least you're getting some decent exposure
Yeah, they did offer us an artist massage though, but not many I think we took it we had to we had to [Bb] see some bands
Okay [Ab] priorities.
I like that.
[Fm] Yeah
So getting ten people together to practice consistently must take quite a lot of coordination
How do you guys go about like writing songs and who who has the final say in the influence over the various parts?
How does that work?
[Abm] Because [F] there's so many of us it's kind of hard to kind [B] of go, you know email out everyone and go
Hey, you learn this song learn this part when we come in.
So it's pretty much just like [N] someone will have
Pretty much a whole idea of a song and then we just go right get to Hudson's house
We're having a practice and then it's like try and pump it out as much as we can
Takes about three practices because we forget it.
Yeah, [D] that's pretty much how it goes
[Ebm] [D] And [N] I kind of felt like I was getting a few old-school
Influences coming through there as well
Like do you guys have a few artists who you all like in common who you would attribute some of your musical master?
Take our influence.
I don't know.
Um, James Brown initially is the first kind of old old influence and then there's there's a few others
A lot of early New Orleans stuff and even today.
Yeah, the Daptone label at the moment is a huge _ _
Cool and so you guys are playing st.
Kilda festival
What because it's quite a long festival.
I understand about two weeks long
So what what day and we're about to you playing we're playing on the festival Sunday, so I have to check my calendar
_ We're playing on the sheet I haven't actually read it down.
I think we're playing on the new music stage at about 130
No, it's the 12th 12th of February
So you have it around 1230 was it one?
130 sorry 130 on the 12th of February.
