With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
The band was one session away from completing our fifth studio album, Vampire Anthems, and our busiest summer of festival dates were booked to support it.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We soldiered on with the release of the new album, supporting it by taking the ambitious step of producing and releasing 6 music videos in 6 months.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
Through our video work, we managed to contribute 3 songs from Vampire Anthems to the soundtrack of a local film along with a performance cameo, so we've been helping promote it to film festivals internationally.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
It's definitely tougher than the first wave as it comes at the end of a very short album cycle. Plus, each member of the band lives in a different city, separated by 250 kms between each of us. So, we're feeling much more isolated this time around.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Performing at a fire relief fundraiser a few years back.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
As tough as it is, try to stay creative.
