00:00So, your new album was out in February. How's that been going down when you've been playing gigs?
00:05It's been going down really well, you know. We always have a good reaction when we play live.
00:11But now people can buy the music and sing along, I guess.
00:16It's a really good feeling, you know, and it's charted at number 32 in the top 40.
00:21Yeah, the week after that we charted it number...
00:23240.
00:24Was there a number for that one?
00:25Yeah.
00:25I thought we had a number the week after though.
00:27No, but I was really proud because, you know, we won an independent label called Wichita.
00:33And...
00:34I've got... I don't know what's going on there.
00:37I don't know. Maybe it's a cider.
00:40Oh, that is probably just a kiss.
00:41Yeah, she probably just kissed.
00:42Remember that moment on tier 5 Friday when Kylie and Derry Halley all kissed?
00:48Should we do it for enemy.com?
00:49Yeah.
00:52Yeah, but we still haven't given up hope of getting in the top 10.
00:56Yeah, like, if we shift another, I think, 20,000 records by this afternoon.
01:01Yeah, it hasn't peaked, it hasn't peaked.
01:02We're going to have a good festival season and then everyone's going to go out on the same day and
01:06buy it.
01:06And, you know, we'll be up there with Gaga and Bieber again, you know, taking on the heavyweights.
01:11We're in a Gaga and Bieber sandwich for a while, weren't we?
01:13Yeah, it was nice.
01:15Are you going to go for any gimmicks then this summer at festival season?
01:19No, I don't think we've ever gone for gimmicks.
01:22I mean, when we played Glastonbury last year, I was absolutely off my tits and I decided to play without
01:27my top off.
01:27And I just looked like a spazzy Iggy pop.
01:30That was amazing before I went on.
01:32Frankie was asking all the band, like, can I get away with this?
01:35I was like, yeah, you look amazing.
01:36First step on stage, Frankie would pick his beak.
01:41No more gimmicks, basically.
01:44That was a gimmick.
01:45It wasn't a gimmick.
01:46I just thought it was a good idea.
01:48He's got a nice body, should be able to shift on.
01:50Yeah, exactly.
01:50Come on.
01:51Stop putting us down, media.
01:54And what else have you got planned for this year now then?
01:59We're heading off to Europe next week for a little jaunt and then we're doing about four or five UK
02:04dates.
02:05And then festival season starts and obviously it'll be a lot of fun.
02:07We're doing European festivals for the first time.
02:11And then I think we're going to work on some new music, you know.
02:15It's a lovely position to be in, to be full time in a band.
02:18Well, it's like we are working on some new music, right?
02:20Yeah.
02:20Yeah, we are.
02:21And we're just going to maximise that and make as much music as we can, because we can, you know.
02:26And, yeah, it's a privilege to be in this position and so on.
02:29What do you think you've gained a side?
02:30Because that's probably the best side of the world.
02:34What do you think you've gained a side?
02:35Because that's probably the best side of the world.
02:35I can't think of a better side of the world.
02:39I think I've swallowed a wasp on my first sip.
