Your most memorable Festival moment or experience? Soundwave is amazing but we have always had a blast playing Bamboozle in New Jersey....the crowds have been insane.
Favourite Artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival? Third Eye blind at bamboozle was insane
What’s your ideal Festival line-up? Green Day, Blink 182, New Found Glory, All Time Low
What are your tips for attending Music Festivals? The obvious ones are drink lots of water and bring sunscreen as the days can be long, also maybe a backpack to carry merch? That's what we used to do as kids at the warped tour, other than that just let loose and have a good time. The beauty of festivals is that you can find so many different kinds of artists and maybe even your new favorite band.

Plan B

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Drinking a lot of Jack Daniels. Jack Daniels and Coke. Dressed suited and booted in 60s soul Motown clothes. There might be a couple of ladies there, but all above board. We are gentlemen. Usually the best sh*t happens at the after parties, backstage after the gig. You’re pretty sweaty and tired and it’s not as glamorous as you might think, but definitely a lot of alcohol and a couple of pretty ladies.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
I had a massage the other day down here in Kings Cross… It’s not what you think; it didn’t have a happy ending or anything. It was actually a proper massage. And I’d probably have one of them before every show.
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
The Prodigy is one of my favourite bands. Gotta shout them out everytime.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
iPhone. Gotta be the iPhone.
What's your secret talent?
Singing!
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
Twitter… I think.
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.
