Your most memorable Festival moment or experience? Probably the first time we played Falls. It was in Tasmania and we were on a side stage in the afternoon and were just happy to be there. Our friend Mason Jennings played before us to about a hundred people but by the time we came on the entire festival crowd was at our stage! There was literally about 50 people at the mainstage. It was mayhem with too many people in a small area. The front barrier got knocked down and the crowd sung every song so loudly we couldn’t hear ourselves. There’s been many amazing festival stories but that was the first and I’ll never forget it.
Favourite Artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival? Probably Snoop Dogg at a festival we played in Detroit.
What’s your ideal Festival line-up? TBG, Pantera, Biggy, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Fat Freddys Drop, The Clash, The Specials, Kate Bush, Tenor Saw, Tanuki Dub, The Dead Beat Band, Daft Punk, Led Zepplin, Johnny Cash, Bianca Jade

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Normally we'd all be picking on each other a little bit. Good fun, but ultimately a little nasty.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
I once requested cigars on our rider, which I got. I tried to smoke one and it made me ill. Anything else is fine. If I could request anything I'd ask for a nice meat tray to take home to my mum and dad's place for a bbq.
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
I'm really digging Seja's (Sekiden/Regurgitator) new music
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
I can't relax without knowing there is a tooth brush near by.
What's your secret talent?
I am a very good whistler.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
I've got quite addicted to facebook. I'm not involved with twitter. I rarely check myspace.
New Empire
Since their formation, the Sydney four-piece have constantly been experimenting and fusing different styles to create their original and powerful brand of music. New Empire's high energy and powerful live show combined with their heartfelt and honest music makes them one of Sydney's most popular new bands. Awoe magazine has described New Empire as "the essentials of the rock pop culture", and this is clearly echoed by thousands of music lovers across the country.
