It’s too hard to pick one, we love festivals. In no particular order: Playing the big Dance Arena at Glastonbury 2008, Main Stage Good Vibrations 2007, Splendour in the Grass 2007, Big Day Out 2009...I could go on and on.
What would be your Ideal Lineup? One stage with David Bowie, Queen (we’d have to bring Freddie back from the dead), Daft Punk, The Cure, Bloc Party, Prince & Bon Jovi (yes, Bon Jovi). There would be DJ sets in between by Sven Vath, Boys Noize and me old mate Ajax.
Favourite artist you've seen at a Music Festival? Daft Punk, David Bowie & Bloc Party

Madonna Manager dismisses Oz tour hoax
Madonna's Manager, Guy Oseary, has dismissed claims of an Australian tour being staged in July after a "hoax" email was forwarded to Australian media earlier this week.
Oseary said via Twitter that "there is no truth to any current plans for an upcoming tour," and that the apparent 10-date tour to be staged in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide is a hoax.
The tour was apparently to be marketed as a special "gift" for her Australian fans, who've waited almost 17 years to see her with ticket prices starting at $249 and the most expensive being $3000 including a meet and greet with the superstar.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
We'd probably just be warming up and being generally ridiculous. It's also a good time for us to catch up and have a drink with our friends from various states and other bands.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
We're actually very lucky with our rider so no complaints here...although I have always wanted a monkey to fetch drinks and thinks of that nature.
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
There's too many for just one, Dead letter Circus, Karnivool, Jerrico, K Oscillate, and Sydonia; there's also a great new band Electric Horse who is made up of the Sunk Loto and Lump boys; they'll be joining us for quite a few dates on the tour.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
Definitely an IPOD or laptop. We tend to plug in and tune out when travelling and the laptops are great for writing new material.
What's your secret talent?
I can juggle a chainsaw and a small child at the same time. (Disclaimer) Please don’t ever ask to witness this amazing feat as it is a secret after all and I will deny it.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
As of late we probably interact a little more on Facebook simply due to the ease of the format, although we have all the above linked for news and updates and we always jump on regularly ourselves so make sure you say hi!
Down With Webster
Down With Webster a 7-member, genre-bending, musical juggernaut draws on disparate influences to create a wholly original musical feast. Their chaotic live shows are the stuff of local legend, selling 1000+ tickets as headliners in their hometown of Toronto as an indie band before ever releasing a single or video.
The band writes, produces and performs all of their music, garnering attention from industry veterans as varied as Timbaland and KISS front man Gene Simmons, both of whom wanted to sign the band to their respective labels. DWW won the Rogers Mobile/Universal Music best unsigned artist in Canada contest in 2008.
