Glass Towers: Round Two

Round two it is. Drunk chicks. Debt. "Add me on facebook!" Metronomy and, "Who the hell is that fifth guy?"........ Enjoy.

NL: Cameron, why did you come to That Fest?

Cameron: Well, for a local festival there were really good bands and we had a lot of people coming.

NL: In your set there weren’t many people arrived yet. But hey, what about the vibe out there?

Cameron: Yeah there was a great atmosphere; we still try to play our best even when there’s no crowd and get our own atmosphere sort of thing.

NL: Sam, why did you come to That Fest?

Sam: Ummmm……. because I think we’re getting paid. (Sarcastic laugh)

NL: Only for the money mate?

Cameron: (Laughs) It’s a party!

Sam: Yeah! It’s a party!

NL: What’s your EP called and when can we expect it out?

Cameron: I think it’s called ‘How To Grow Up’. It’s five tracks and I think it should be out next March/ April.

NL: Where can we find it?

Cameron: In EVERY CD shop.

NL: Tell me about how you scored supporting Metronomy. How the fuck did this happen?

Cameron: We just recently started hooking up a deal with a booking agent. He kind of just rang us up when we were on the way home from a band practice last week and asked if we wanted to play with Metronomy and we just said “yeah!” I didn’t really know who they were at the time but our singer Ben was a really big fan. I’ve been into them ever since that (laughs).

NL: You just finished school not long ago. The world is open to do what you want to do. After your EP, what’s next?

Cameron: Get jobs, make money and move to the city I think.

Sam: I think we’re touring a bit in January/ February because we’ll have a single out by then. Then obviously tour when the EP comes out to support it.

NL: What does That Fest mean to you?

Cameron: Free booze, Party on, drunk chicks.

The interview is then hi-jacked by our sharing of memories of two specific ‘drunk chicks’ at the front of Glass Towers’ set shouting out “add me on Facebook” non-stop for the majority of their set with their high- pitched voices and annoying dance moves. Good times.

NL: (Trying to regain myself) What do you think of local festivals like this that feature up and coming bands?

Cameron: Great. Great. It’s a great place to party. It’s not sending kids to the streets, I mean, they can do naughty stuff here really. And it’s fun man. It’s music.

Sam: And there’s good bands playing here man. You Am I, Little Red!

Cameron: It’s not like it’s a locally shit thing. There’s a lot of great bands playing here today.

NL: I’m so psyched for Little Red and You Am I.

Cameron: Yeah same! I’m even psyched for Miami Horror and I don’t even like them that much.

Sam: We just saw the Space Invadas dudes.

Cameron: We saw the black dude with the massive dreads. He just had an Iphone listening to music just walking around not even taking any notice of anything. Just chilled as.

NL: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Cameron: Washed up rock stars recovering from a heroin addiction. (Laughs) No! I have no idea really. I don’t know where the future is going to take us.

NL: Do you expect anything big or are you just taking it as it comes?

Cameron: Yeah we just have to take everything we can I think. We’re not expecting anything we’re just making the most of what we have.

NL: Yeah, well you’ve definitely made the most of what you have lately; scoring shows with Metronomy, opening Splendour In The Grass 2009, making your way onto the festival scene. How do you do it?

Cameron: I don’t know. We seem to make people like us. (laughs)

Sam: I think because it’s just really fun, happy music to listen to man. There’s also a lot of luck in it.

Cameron: Parents aswell. We wouldn’t be where we are without our drummer’s (Daniel Muszynski) parents. They’ve driven us around and stayed with us in cities and everything. For example, we are in debt $1000 to Dan’s father, so they’ve been really supportive that way.

Tim, Glass Towers ’quiet ‘on the road synth player’ and 'the fifth Glass Tower' is then put in the limelight.

NL: What do you think of Glass Towers buddy?

Tim: Aren’t they the greatest band alive?

NL: Umm? Yeah. I think so man.

Tim: They put on a high-energy show every time which is fucking awesome!

NL: I saw you getting in there mate. I saw you singing every word.

Tim: I was screaming every word. I was like on of those girls saying “add me on Facebook.”

Sadly, this is where it ends in an uncontrollable fit of laughter at the hilarity of Tim’s impersonation of the two ‘drunk chicks’ down the front.

Fin.
