We did a festival in melbourne and it was a great. We got to hang out with Grinspoon and drink with those guys.
What are your tips for attending Music Festivals?Don't get drunk to quick. Pace yourself. So many people drink really quick at the start and it always ends up messy.
Favourite Music Festival? I would have to say 'Big Day Out'. To any band it is great to be able to perform there its an honor. I was happy because when we did it 'Rage Against The Machine' were also playing that year and it was just one band I had always wanted to see play.
What's your ideal music festival line-up?Blink 182, Greenday and if I gould dig Jeff Buckley up, I would have him there to.
Favourite artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival? Rage Against The Machine.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Games of twister in our underwear, limbo and pillow fights in slow motion with feathers everywhere. Nah, not really, we tend to be pretty tame back stage, we just like to have a drink and a chat to calm the nerves. You might find Jo trying to decide which floral shirt looks the best and Tom working through a few blues licks on the guitar to warm his fingers up.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
Tom: A selection of cured Italian meats and cheeses. And bison grass vodka with cloudy apple juice and lime would be the drink of choice
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
JUST ONE?? The Eagle and The Worm is a group of super Melbourne musos led by Jarrad Brown from Custom Kings. They are tight, the music is very well written, and their gigs are good times! Bean is largely unknown but is perhaps one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets. She’s a singer/songwriter with an amazing voice and really interesting songs. She also knows how to really rock out. The Box Rockets are awesome! They’re prolific giggers and always blow us away.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
Lumber support. Sounds dull, but seriously, hours and hours or driving can give you a really sore back. We discovered that if you fill a 1.25L plastic bottle with water and place it behind your bum in your seat, the back pain disappears, incredible! We should patent that.
What's your secret talent?
The ability to make a perfect Risotto.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
Myspace is definitely best.
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.

They have worked closely with producers Stuart Epps (Oasis, Robbie Williams, Jimmy Page) and Steve Levine (Culture Club, The Beach Boys), and most recently have recorded in Trondheim, Norway with Universals D-sign Music (Kylie Minogue, Joe Cocker).
