Your most memorable Festival moment or experience? I think playing at the Open Arms Festival last year in Coffs Harbour. The day was ridiculously hot right up until we hit the stage and just then a massive storm rolled in and it poured throughout our set. Everyone just went with it, got soaked and went crazy and as soon as we played our last note, the storm was gone. It was a surreal.
Favourite Artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival? Ah there's been so many, that's way too hard! I'd have to say Pendulum, Nirvana, Sigur Ros, Ministry, or Daft Punk.
What’s your ideal Festival line-up? Ha ha, see the answer above and add MM9!!!
What are your tips for attending Music Festivals? Sunscreen, plenty of water, and go and watch something that you've never seen or heard before!

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.
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.
