Favorite place to enjoy nature?
I: My parents’ house in Golden Bay at the top of NZ’s South Island.

What was the first gig you played in Australia?

If you could transfer all your musical knowledge into one interest that had nothing to do with music, what would it be and why?
B: I’d transfer my (rudimentary) knowledge into carpentry & upholstering so I could make insane but mumfy furniture.
I: I think just language, maybe starting with Spanish?
Best trip of your life so far (Psychedelic or Travel)
B: On the coast of Albania with 12 gorg friends… which included an elaborate murder mystery night. It’s the trip that inspired the lyrics to our song Ionian Sea, which were initially written semi-ironically (fun fact).
I: Yeah this, and the following few days in Montenegro just the two of us.
Let’s play a pi pi pi game… I give you a situation & you give me a track…

Dream place to travel to right now?
We’d looove to go to Japan, hopefully next year.
Favorite sound in recent memory?

Favorite drink before a performance?
