What do you do?
We make music.

Describe your style in three words?
Pink - Nineties - Grunge.

The Neptunes - Cause of their love of the MicroKorg and for working with the legend that is Britney Spears.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to and why?
GL: Eels at the Royal Albert Hall a couple of years ago - heart-achingly beautiful.
GW: White Stripes at Reading Festival 2002.

What British music icons inspire your sound today?
Hands down Kate Bush 'Wuthering Heights' a classic of course... or 'Cloudbusting'... eek or 'Hounds of Love' I can't choose!

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Bill Murray - cause he's such a d.i.l.f and can do no wrong or maybe Frank Sinatra - he'd be fun.

Which British subculture means the most to you?
The Mods, super cool and they were partial to rocking a Fred Perry!

What music did you listen to growing up?
GL: We had all the classic vinyl our parents bought - Bob Dylan, Mamas and Papas, The Beatles and The Eagles.
