Admittedly, this band is just happy to have survived their last show and get a chance to play again… and they’re really geared up to get another chance to play their songs to a brand new audience at The Factory Theatre on the 18th for the semi-finals of the Emergenza festival. Don’t miss out to see them play live then! Before the show, they talk to Emergenza about the highlights of the first round and what they’re looking forward to most about the semi-finals.

FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T GET TO SEE YOU IN THE FIRST ROUND, CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT THE MUSIC OF LETTERS TO LION?
We play a really pretty kind of rock ‘n roll.

WHAT’S YOUR APPROACH TO YOUR ONSTAGE PERFORMANCES?
We don’t really have a game plan, if we survive then we live to play another day.

WHAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE FIRST ROUND FOR YOU?
Midge's first show with the band, midges first fight with a fan.

CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE FIRST ROUND AND WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM IT?
We experienced the vibe of playing on a real stage stage with an almost real audience, each band member took away something different from the night.

SO HOW DOES IT FEEL BEING ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE EMERGENZA FINALS?
Quite exciting.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO BETWEEN GIGS AND WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF THE COMPETITION?
In between gigs we are typically at work or uni or band practice.

HOW ARE YOU PLANNING TO PROMOTE FOR YOUR UPCOMING GIG?
Tell everyone we know.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST ABOUT THIS ROUND IN THE SEMI-FINALS?
Playing our songs to some people who haven’t heard them.
