Funkoars

NL: Why did you agree to playing at That Fest?

Sesta: We always like coming to this part of the country, it’s nice moosty weather. Yeah, we like taking our clothes off and getting moosty.

Hons: I need to pay my electricity next month.

NL: Just about the money mate?

Hons: No. Not at all. I just like coming out and getting hammered and just partying a bit. Sick of being in Adelaide so it’s good to get out every now and then.

Sesta: We’re not in Queensland are we?

NL: No, we’re just shy of the border mate.

Sesta: Thank fuck for that ay.

NL: Fuck QLD!

(Laughs)

Hons: You can’t actually say that because there’s a law against swearing in public. We found out about that the other week.

NL: What do you think about local festivals like this that are supporting the ‘little guys?’

Sesta: Anything that is supporting local music is good. I mean, shit we need to do something too I guess you know.

NL: Yeah, I mean everyone has to play their part and by you guys playing here, being a famous band are helping out the local music scene.

Sesta: Well. We’re not that big. We’re semi-big. We’ve got a bit of swing but it’s not stiff.

NL: You’re not touching the ground yet. (Laughs). So, have you heard about That Festival before?

Hons: Yeah. I looked it up on umm………(laughs)

Sesta: (Laughs, mocking Hons) ‘I looked it up once I heard of it.’ (Laughs)

(All in a slurry of laughter)

NL: Did you google it mate?

Hons: I did google it, yes. No, I’m pretty sure I binged it.

NL: What the fuck is Bing man?

Hons: Some Microsoft shit, I don’t know. (Laughs)

NL: Can you describe your live show for people who haven’t seen it yet?

Hons: It’s pretty chaotic. Just running around going mental. It’s really a live, live set. It sounds close to what the album is like but we have extra added shit in and stuff like that.

Sesta: Theres always the element of improvisation. We just sort of get up and do it and have a great time. If someone fucks up you just try to roll it and make it into something good.

NL: What’s next for Funkoars?

Sesta: We’re working on an album right now. We are just doing a few shows here and there, this is one of them, in between going balls deep in an album.

NL: When can we expect this album on the shelves?

Sesta: Next year, January, February, March?

Hons: (Sarcastically) April? May? June?

NL: Between January and December?

Sesta: Yeah. 2011ish. We don’t really know.

NL: Cheers for your time.
