    Tapping into INSIDE REALITY

    If not already convinced on coming out to their semi-final gig at the Espy on the 16th, this band will charm you with their humour and bribe you with cookies



    Inside Reality has nothing but good things to say about the festival. As for the other things the say, well, let’s just hope they will get a few laughs out of you. If not, they’ll offer you cookies as compensation. Before their upcoming gig for the semi-finals of the Emergenza Festival in Melbourne, the band takes the chance to charm you, and possibly even bribe you, into coming out to the show.

    FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T GET TO SEE YOU IN THE FIRST ROUND, CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT THE SOUND OF INSIDE REALITY?
    Sam: We are just a good time band, that has fun playing together and seeing others enjoy our music.
    Tom: if you come we'll give you cookies.

    WHAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE FIRST ROUND FOR YOU?

    Sam: Just getting to play those tasty Marshall amps- they sounded sexy as…!

    OUT OF ALL THE SONGS YOU PLAYED, WHICH ONE GOT THE BIGGEST REACTION OUT OF THE CROWD AND WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
    Tom: I saw a couple of lighters for “Stay With Me”.
    Sam: And I thought “Drift With The Tide” had a pretty good reaction from the crowd at the end with the clapping.

    WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES FOR THE BAND SO FAR?

    Tom: The line-up change and the coming of new members.
    Zac: Actually holding band practice.

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

    Dutchy: Just like almost any other gig we'd play in.

    WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR UPCOMING CONCERT AT THE ESPY?

    Dutchy: A spot at The Hi-Fi bar or a couple of roots…

    HOW ARE YOU PLANNING TO PROMOTE FOR YOUR UPCOMING GIG?

    Tom: Our bass player will walk around St. Kilda in a gorilla suit…
    Sam: And nagging family friends and everyone we know!

    WITH OTHER BATTLE OF THE BANDS COMPETITIONS AROUND, WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE EMERGENZA?

    Sam: I love how clearly defined and fair Emergenza is, unlike other competitions, whoever wins really has earned it and will be the best of the best.
