This blues-fused rock band from Melbourne are getting psyched up for their gig at The Hi-Fi in Melbourne. They’re set to battle it out head to head with thirteen other bands to get to the national finals, and one step closer to a huge open air in Germany. They may have a few new tunes up their sleeves, but you’re going to have to be there to hear for yourself. In the meantime, you can check out what the band has to say …

SO, DO YOU THINK YOU'RE READY FOR THE BIG NIGHT?
Yes, it's going to be big. We always get excited and perform psychotically at these kinds of thing!

WHAT’S THE BAND DOING TO GET READY FOR THE FINALS? REHEARSING MUCH?
Well with this recording we are thinking of breaking out some sneaky new ones!

WHAT, IF ANY, CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE TO YOUR STAGE SET-UP OR YOUR LIVE PERFORMANCE WITH THE FINALS IN MIND?
We've been doing practice runs and aerial manoeuvres to make sure we are there on time….

WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE BIG NIGHT?
To have a ball. We know many of our fans are going to be there going ape, plus Max couldn't think of a better way to spend his birthday.

WHAT EFFECT DO YOU THINK WINNING WOULD HAVE ON THE BAND?
It would be great. We’ve battled a lot in the past two years so this would have a great turn around, though the experience so far had been memorable.

CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE FESTIVAL SO FAR? ANY FUNNY ANECDOTES FROM YOUR PREVIOUS SHOWS OR REHEARSALS LEADING UP TO THE FINALS?
We could, but the people involved would kill us if we leaked even a little.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MOST ABOUT PLAYING THE HI-FI IN MELBOURNE?
It's a great, well-known venue, and we know it’s going to sound awesome. We are waiting on the edge if our seats.

WHAT IS GOING TO SET YOU APART FROM THE OTHER BANDS AND SECURE A WIN FOR YOUR BAND?
Our experience and how we exude it with every performance, our pain and our experience.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO BANDS THAT ARE CONSIDERING SIGNING UP FOR THE FESTIVAL NEXT YEAR?
There's nothing to lose but a few useless brain cells.

IF YOU HAVE THE DESIRE TO SHOUT OUT TO ANY OF THE BANDS OR SAY ANY THANKS, DO SO HERE:
Thanks to Stone Desert and Nikhail, two good bands we love to hang with.
