In january 2007 we did our first Big Day Out over here in Perth & when we got on stage the security had to close the doors of the pavilion as the room capacity had been reached. Now the thing was the band on before us only got the room like a third full so for heaps of people to rock up to watch us play, at home, was something special & I haven’t forgotten that show since.
Ideal Lineup? Firstly Weezer, I really like those guys & they play some cool rock stuff, so they’d be awesome to see. I’d also have to say Queens Of The Stone Age, these guys just put on the best show each & every time they step on stage & to see them is always amazing. So I’d go with those 2 for now.
Tips for attending a Music Festival? Personally, I feel it comes down to just being curteous to others. I mean you go to festivals & you see people just barging through in groups or by themselves & it’s just not on in my books. I suppose drinking water & wearing proper clothing to protect yourself from the sun also help, but basically being curteous is my tip.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
We would all be sitting around talking about the stock exchange, sharing tips!! Hahaha yeah right! We would be running a muck, probably smashing down beer and chatting to everyone. We are not stuck up like those fringed F&%$ERS and enjoy talking to our fans!
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
We are all beer drinkers and on past tours we have gone VB cans coz they are easy to throw down. I guess if we had more of a choice, we would probably get a bottle of Jack Daniels each, Evan would most likely get an old bottle of scotch and then we would follow with whatever beers we can get our hands on!
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
Chimaira would have to be a number one for us all! They have a massive sound and they don’t compromise anything in terms of their sound and style whenever they release a new album. Their live show is amazing and their tightness and musicianship are streets ahead of many other bands that have even more of an international status!
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
That’s easy! As a band, we just need all our favourite tunes for the long bus rides. Our driver loves us singing really loudly in his ear, it really makes him happy!
What's your secret talent?
I think there is not secret to what we do. We pride ourselves on the fact that we do a good job through our hard work and dedication. You just don’t make it these days by just playing shows, it helps, but there is so much more to it than that.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
Check us out on all 3. We update them all on a very regular basis.
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.
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.
