When you perform, how much of your performance is live?
A lot of it. We tend to break up tracks into ideas and sections with developmental possibilities, through synths or effects, then throw down the loops in real time as we see fit. It makes more sense that way, you can judge the mood and take it on the hoof. In many ways, our tracks are more a document of our live ideas than vice versa, that’s how we want it to be. I think that’s more like a punk band or something, you play a track out and see how it goes, see how it pieces together live, then lay it down in a recording afterwards.
electronic though then probably Maetrik.
Are there any labels that you seem to turn to for music regularly?
Not really, we probably discover most our music by stumbling across the artists first, I find going by Label can be a bit abstract, I suppose it depends on the label though.
Where’s your favourite place to go to in the world? (Not necessarily to perform, just in general)
The West of Ireland, when it’s not pissing with rain (and even when it is), for the music and the craic.

Can you tell us where your highlights have been this year so far and why?
Just getting things moving, it’s always fun when you don’t have time to look back, when you feel dynamic and driven and unafraid. Ideally that’s how it should always be.
If you were planning your last gig and you had to choose two artists to play back to back with, who would they be (dead or alive)?
The Stooges and Kevin Burke (that would be weird, wouldn’t it?) if
