P. 15
BiTS: Well, the only thing that I've heard from it is the video, ‘Oh Yeah’, which is absolutely
fabulous and unbelievable energy. Where do you get the energy from, both of you?
GV: [Laughs] I drag it out of Robin, and I've just always had a lot of energy. It's probably like
ADHD, but obviously Robin’s guitar playing, you know, the energy. All of our tracks from our
new album, I'll have to get you a copy of the album, but all
the tracks, they range from rock to blues to more singer-
songwriter. More like Bruce Springsteen maybe style, some
of that stuff and soul. We recorded them all together in a
room, so even though the genres are a little bit kind of
changing over the duration of the album, it all sounds
cohesive and it's all the energy of one band in a room together.
BiTS: Question for Robin. Was it hot in the panda suit?
RD: Well, the panda suit is actually an inflatable panda suit.
GV: There's fans in it.
RD: There's a fan in it that blows it up.
BiTS: Oh, gosh [laughs].
RD: So it actually has its own internal cooling system. Yes, actually it's quite pleasant to wear. I
think I might wear it on tour sometime.
Beaux Gris Gris, ‘Oh Yeah’
BiTS: Ah, well, there you go. Now tell me something about the tour that's coming up, which is,
as most of your tours are, mammoth. Starting when? You're ending up in Glasgow towards the
end of the tour as well.
RD: Yeah, we're visiting England, Scotland and Wales. We love Scotland. We played there once
before in Edinburgh, and it was an awesome show and an awesome experience.
GV: We're going back there.
