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?
We were putting the finishing touches on our debut EP.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
It’s put a pause on all our plans to play live. The Silver lining is we have had a ton of time to work on our music, and i think our debut album we are working on will benefit in quality.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Spending hour after hour in the studio and writing. We self-record and produce, so we’ve really just been learning all we can during this down time.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
Joined up for a pint and started talking about all the crazy ideas rushing through our heads for our next project.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
We haven’t ent had a Starlite Room moment, which was part of why Covid has been such a bummer. The Starlite Room is so important to the music culture here, and we were stoked to get out to shows even just as fans.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
We can’t wait to be in the crowd screaming along to our favourite bands again one day, and hopefully even on stage screaming at everyone.
