No/Trauma

Where do we know you from?
From those nights when you 19 and way too drunk on $3 schooners and your mate just pissed in a pot plant in the beer garden and was ejected from the venue and so you went inside to dance to indie rock and you kept asking the bartenders and sound tech to “play some dance music mate cmon” and instead of doing that they just kept playing Paul Kelly’s bluegrass cover of 'Khe Sanh' on repeat. We were the staff at that pub and we were only a year older than you but god were we sick of your shit.

Also we put a tune called 'Six Foot Flawless' which slaps.


What do you do with yourself?
Recently we were in the studio and halfway through the first day we found out Melbourne was going into lockdown again the following night. We worked really hard and managed to get everything done in the subsequent 36 hours before the studio had to close its doors for another six weeks.


Where would your dream getaway if lockdowns weren’t a thing?
Get to Alice Springs and stay with an older lesbian couple who have two dogs and some chickens. Watch the kangaroos from the backyard as the sun comes up and down. 


Are there any unusual hobbies that the band members have picked up?
Honestly not really? It’s all gardening, baking sourdough, knitting, and kissing our partners. Extremely nice, but very standard/boring stuff. We never understood “boring” people for a long time but turns out being “boring” is often part and parcel of caring for your mental health and having a nice time in the long term. 


What’s the best breakfast food?
Bed porridge (no that’s not a euphemism for cum). Porridge with fruit in it that has been brought to you when you’re very sleepy and grumpy about the morning in bed. Ideally served with a small kiss on the head and slightly mocking yet sympathetic laughter. 


What’s your perfect Sunday?
Sunny and 24 degrees sitting in the park with some friends, eating bread and dips, then falling asleep with your head in the lap of your friend who you only see once a year.
