One of the best was Splendor In The Grass a couple of years back when we had just released our album cruel guards. I just remember this massive circus tent overflowing with people singing along,people on each others shoulders, just great atmosphere.
Worst Festival Experience? Remember being very young and losing my friends, and my shoes at a festival in Perth. I had to climb a tree out the front and wait for them and try and spot them on the way out, and someone threw a chicken at me!
Do you remember going to you first festival? What was it like? (How old were you? Who did you go with? Who did you see? What did you wear?) I remember going to festivals with my guitarist Drew when we were teenagers. I think the earliest was one called sommersault in perth, I was about fourteen and remember Beck playing. I think we probably had pink hair and army pants like everyone else that day! I remember kissing a girl, I was pretty stoked with that because I remember drew did not kiss a girl...ha!
What festival essentials do you always bring with you? Or are there certain rituals you always do or things you always check out? I dont bring many valuables because I lose them often... including guitars!
Best and worst things you’ve seen people wear at a festival? I've seen people nude,generally that goes in the 'worst' bin. white dresses with red wine stains down the front are a favourite.seen a guy passed out in a tux on a forty degree day, I enjoy that too.
Funniest thing someone has come up to you and said at a festival or silliest behaviour you’ve witnessed? I've seen people fall out of trees. I remember a guy in a bin wearing lipstick laughing his head off,thats pretty weird. ive had a guy come on stage when we were playing, put his arm around me and just stand there giving the crowd a thumbs up and a big smile for a song,that was pretty strange.
