1.Your Profile
Six gentle men, 12 tender nipples, looking for the one night stand. Must have own transport, a degree in philosophy, preferably DTF. Sounds like A Tribe Called Quest splitting spliffs with your parents’ favourite band.
2.Keeping Busy
We’ve been working on our first full-length LP for nearly two years now, so that’s on the cards. We’ll have a new single out pretty soon from that album and we recently featured on the new Polographia single ‘Sly’, which came out last week.
3.Best Gig Ever
The best gig we’ve played would have to be a houseboat show. We put two shows on in Manly where we live – a good friend of ours owns a houseboat that chills in the harbour called Stealth; he took us over to the beach where people chill and drink every Sunday through summer and we played on the roof until the water police got to us. Our worst – Charlie Bar. Winston, Dool and Mi-K, three hours playing to one intoxicated family asking for Queen covers. One of whom sat next to Mi-K for about an hour whilst playing and tried to get his number. Free beers though. Swings and roundabouts.
4.Current Playlist
If it’s 4am and we’re feeling good we can’t go past Craig David and Artful Dodger’s ‘Rewind’ seven-inch radio edit! Polographia, NxWorries and Bustlip on the daily. Our favourite album of the past few years is easily Early Riser by Taylor McFerrin – do yourselves a favour and check it.
5.Your Ultimate Rider
For the past few years we’ve made it pretty clear what we’d like on our rider. Still to this day, not once has it been executed in the way we had hoped, yet we continue time after time to ask in the hope that it will happen and one day John Farnham will adhere to the request that he appear, as John Farnham, in the flesh. Individually, Winston needs a bottle of sambuca, The Bone needs Clear Eyes, Bustlip needs to chop and bowl, Julio needs a lil’ lean, Dool’s too nice to ask for anything and Mi-K is still in London, so he’s got problems of his own. Other than that, we all need beers and towels.
Winston Surfshirt appear atMoonshine Bar, Hotel Steyne on Friday July 15.
