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

Queens of The Stone Age Reunite and Are Set To Release a new LP
The Stoner-rockers ' who haven't released an LP since 2007's 'Era Vulgaris' ' have reunited after a hiatus and frontman Josh Homme already has ideas of what he wants their next record to be like, despite admitting he is unsure how to achieve what he wants.
He explained: ''m looking for explosions and fireworks and grand finale, I don't really care how we get to that.
' want the next Queens record to be like a condensed firework show where it's all grand finale.'
The singer also admitted that if the group ever split up, fans shouldn't expect a reunion further down the line.
He said: 'A buddy of mine said, 'Never do a reunion. Never do a sequel.' He's right. It's not what it was, it's what it is.
'And I've always been obsessed with now, because what's done is done and I can't go backwards. And I'm not going to walk backwards into my future, the only way I'll have a future is if I pay attention to now.'

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Backstage we are like the quiet before the storm. We do things like read, check our email, warm up, and pace around the room. Not too exciting I’m afraid. We conserve our energy for stage I suppose.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
Food from Zingerman’s Deli in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Zingerman’s is perhaps the best deli I’ve ever been to, and I wish they could cater every show we play any where in the world. Their pastrami is to die for…Beyond.
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
I like the band Neon Indian from Denton, Tx. They sound like the soundtrack to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It’s like lo-fi 80’s for a new generation.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
My Iphone is my most essential item on tour without a doubt. It’s how I stay in touch with my friends and loved ones. It’s how I don’t get lost. It’s how I play pinball when I have a few spare moments.
What's your secret talent?
I have an unusual talent for making any girl I am potentially interested in into being 'just friends'.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
For me personally the best place to stalk is Twitter @TimothyNordwind. Why in fact Spin.com called me one of the top three best musician Twitterers this year. OKGO is on Twitter as well, we have a Facebook account, a Myspace account, and of course our website is okgo.net.
Euphoria Audio
Forming in the late Summer of 2003, Euphoria Audio are a Rock/Popular band from Wakefield, UK. 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).
In 2010 the band showcased at the Musexpo music conference in Los Angeles in front of world-wide delegates as well as a performance at the legendary Viper Room.
