Quotes:
I think real pop like as opposed to fake pop. We write and produce it ourselves so were not a really poppy band on paper because we dont even work with producers, we do it all ourselves and you dont get many pop bands like that.
-Katie White
Also to get ourselves in a position where you can do quite big venues and really put on your show. Weve got loads of ideas there because there are only two of us we dont wanna hire in more musicians to make it interesting. I think its quite easy for a lot of bands to do that but were really quite sort of tenacious about keeping it as a two pieceas loops and making people understand what loop pedals do. Wed like to go into controlling the sound and the lights with our feet. Just sort of to get all this music, noise and light like what were going through onstage, how were expressing ourselves just really get to that stage where we can go really out there for our performances.
