As a band we played the Pyramid Rock Festival at Phillip Island last year, that was a very awesome thing to be a part of. Was so hot you felt like you were going to die but was worth every second.
Ideal Lineup? Reading Festival 92 was a pretty unbeatable lineup, not that I was actually there. Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Mudhoney, Beastie Boys… Say no more!
Tips for attending Music Festivals? Pace yourself, try not to one of those people passed out next to a porta-loo before the sun has even had a chance to go down. All the good stuff happens at night and you’re gonna want to remember most of it. Bands like us love to play festivals because the vibe can be incredible, so yeah… get on it and have a great time, just don’t make an arse of yourself.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Talking absolute nonsense to each other, chilling out and seeing who can make everyone laugh the most.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
Christmas presents for our family. It would save a lot of time Christmas shopping during that crazy period.
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Love the Eagles for their amazing harmonies.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
The GHD hair straightner.Though, none of us ever want to pack it in our luggage so we just hope one out of three has thrown it in.
What's your secret talent?
Not many secret talents going on in this band but I guess being sisters we are lucky that when on stage we only have to give each other certain looks and we know what song we want to do or where we want to go with a song and the audience would never know.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
That’s the great thing about having 3 of us in the band we all have one to look after. So you will definitely get in touch via any of them.
Down With Webster
Down With Webster a 7-member, genre-bending, musical juggernaut draws on disparate influences to create a wholly original musical feast. Their chaotic live shows are the stuff of local legend, selling 1000+ tickets as headliners in their hometown of Toronto as an indie band before ever releasing a single or video.
The band writes, produces and performs all of their music, garnering attention from industry veterans as varied as Timbaland and KISS front man Gene Simmons, both of whom wanted to sign the band to their respective labels. DWW won the Rogers Mobile/Universal Music best unsigned artist in Canada contest in 2008.
