• 0:29
  Speaker 1: yeah did?
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: You tried to read my notes and you couldn't read
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: them if they were that messy.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I couldn't work out why you had notes.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Just just chat, don't worry, you know. Yeah.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Well, usually if I makes it up as I go,
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: it goes pear shape. So I try to have some
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: form of structure.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it goes out the window pretty quick.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: So we're here today to chat about your new album,
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: which is a self titled album.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: God the Super Jesus is out this Friday.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: I think one was March twenty first, So how do
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: you feel about it?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I am excited to have it finally released. It's been
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a slow process because we've staggered single releases over the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: last eighteen months. So we put out six singles so far,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: so seven nineteen, so there's early a romance.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Gang Busters Lonus new Bloke.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: So yeah, there's only four more songs to come out
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: that people haven't heard. With really six singles, it's a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: ten track album, but the last four are killers, so
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: we've just been holding them. It's not like his bunch
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of his four album tracks. The last four are some
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: of my favorites. So we deliberately staggered singles and then
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we kept four nuggets just to spit out at the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: end to drive it home.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: I can actually test to that Gamebusters is my favorite
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: song of the whole album and doesn't even been released yet.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Is it unreal?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I love that you stay there?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I was. I was like am I I kept thinking,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be the only one that loves gang Busters.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I even got ready to record it because I wrote
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: my solo album, was like, what about we do Gangbusters?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And I remember he said to me at first, now
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: it sounds like Ghostbusters, and I don't want to know
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: about it and I was like, yeah, but just give
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: it a chance, go listen to it. And then he
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: was like, oh no, we can totally do this. I'm like, yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we can.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It's could be great.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I love Gang Glasses. I think it might get some
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: club remixes done of Gang Glusters too.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: They'll be cool.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Do those Busters remix We Gone Coal.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: So this is your first album since rock music in
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: two thousand and three, which is a damn long time.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: But do you feel any extra pressure going into this
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: one because you've got to basically make up for the
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: last twenty odd years.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: No, I don't feel any pressure at all. The pressure
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I feel is pressure I put on myself. All I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: care about is writing songs that are memorable. And the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: reason being is that years ago I did some songwriting
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: for an American label for one of their artists, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that they asked me to write in the song and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I wrote a song and they came back to me
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and they said, sorry, Sarah, it's just not memorable enough.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And it was like a stab into my heart and
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: soul never forgotten it and everything after that, I'm like, Okay,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: if you're going to write, it's got to be memorable.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: So then that became my new But I'm just I'm
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: chasing it like a bloodhound, Like you know, this hook's
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: gotta make it catchy, You gotta make it memorable. You
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you got to write something that stays with people, that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: people want to listen to again and ear wombs in
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: their mind.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Got to make it memorable. Otherwise what are you doing?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: No? I was so upsets in that moment where that
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: guy told me my song wasn't memorable that I then
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: spent the rest of my life trying to work out
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: how to write songs that stay with you.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: So he was being an arsehole, but in the end
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: he actually gave you extra motivation for the rest of
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: your life.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's what living is, isn't it. Like that's
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: how we build ourselves. It's the knocks, and it's the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: good times and the bad times that make us who
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we are, make us whether we're any good at something.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: You need that, So tell us a bit more about
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the album from a musical point of view and what
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: you were done for with it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Well initially, okay, so there's sort of two threads to this.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting question. Initially, Ruddy and I discussed about
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: going back to our Sumo roots, going back to the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: nineties sound, the open tunings, the the interestingly long arrangements,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: lots of instrumentals, dynamics.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: We wanted it. We wanted to try and make something
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that sounded like Sumo.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And if you listen to the record, this song called Starlight,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: which is the opening song. So Raddy wrote the instrumentation
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: for that and he gave to me and I wrote
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the singing part. But that's that totally is him going,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take us back to where we were.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: It's sort of like pay homage to the song I'm Stained,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: which was from Sumo, So that was where he was
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: wanting to go with it. And then I was writing
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: songs where I was trying to get us a little
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: bit sort of like dancing, you know, and like it
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: was sort of like clubby Beats, and which is very
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: different to where Ready wanted to go. But we found
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a middle ground, and I think it was like I'm
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: sort of I'm submitting these songs to him going like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: this is kind of a little bit dancy, which I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: know the word dancing would put Ruddy off. Instead of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: saying it's dancy, I would say to him kind of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: sounds good like in Excess, don't you Reckon? And he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, cool, okay, yeah,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: because it's it's a bit dancing like in Excess, Right
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: there you go. So once I sort of realized that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I could sell in my dancing ideas masquerading in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Trojan Horse of In Excess, we were able to find
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: common ground with the whole record, and then it became
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a fusion of a sort of homage to our nineties sound,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: but with a bit of a modern sort of you know, yeah,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: like danceable twist.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Now, when we spoke at Monday Monday Bash last year,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: you said, and I wait, I should you not?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: But it's the best stuff we've ever written in our lives.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Now it's the album set. Time to digest with you
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: a little bit more. Did do you still feel that?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Fuck? Yeah?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Why because every single song I listen to every single
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: song and I love every bit of it. There's nothing
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I want to fast forward.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: There's no songs a going. This sort of sucks.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Every every lyric moves to the next lyric like as
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: part of the story, which I never used to do,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Like I used to sort of write lyrics and they
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: would be like line by line, they kind of sound cool,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but I fucking I don't know what I'm talking about.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I listened back to what's that song about?
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I've got no idea, but I've learned now that each line,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, lyrics are like high class real estate.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It's not like writing writing a book or a poem.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Even like when you write a song, You've only got
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a certain amount of space where you can say something,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: so you have the skill of it is to learn
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: how to say what the message you want to get across,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: but in very little pros because you've only got short
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: little verses and wrap it all up in the chorus.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And over the years, I've sort of really been honing
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: in on how ever, since that guy told me I
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: wasn't a memorable songwriter, I thought, why okay, And so
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of it was honing in on the stories
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and taking the listener on a journey that you can follow.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So you know, you say something, you're in it, you
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: can visualize it, and you're in the journey. There's no
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: random line, so you go, what's that all about? I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: used to have them everywhere. I don't have them anymore,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: so I guess maybe that's why I love it so much,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: because I'm so connected to it, and I'm I just
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: feel like we've got I just felt we've got better.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: We we did a great job in the nineties and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: we were happy with those records, but we had ten
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: years off. We all went and did different music.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: We learned stuff. Rad he was in all these different bands.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And he came back with a whole.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Library of new influences, and so did I.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And we're like, Okay, we're the same people, but we're not.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Really because we've learned all the stuff.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: So why don't we bring in all the cool shit
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that we've learned and make something different but paying homage
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to who we were.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And that's where we're at. And I think it's been
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: really good for us, and I love it. I love
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: every song.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Now. I'm normally one of those people and I listen
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to an album.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: As soon as a ballad comes on, I'm like, fuck it, skip,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: fucket skipped. But I came to Diamonds on your album
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: and and something about it called me and listening through, like,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: is that you playing piano.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: On that song?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: So I wrote that beautiful, beautiful song, Like I actually
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: instead of fast forwarding it, I'd skip back and I
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: listened to it again afterwards.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: It's a beautiful piece of way.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wrote that for my solo album and then
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I played it to Already and he went, oh no,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: let's record it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh no.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Because it was the flagship of my solo record. I
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: was like, this is this is a great song. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: then he's like, no, we want it, and I was like,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: of course she do. But I thought, I mean, I
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: did play it to him with that option, and I
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: do know that once I give them a song it
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: will be better. Once it's got the Superjeser treatment, it
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: don't make it beautiful. So I thought, take your ego
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: out of it, let them have it. And they made it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: They took it to the next level. Like how I
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: had it before was lovely, but they made it really special.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: See other those lines. You're doing a lot of writing.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: For your solo stuff fans, to the Suberg's and for
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: other people. So how do you decide what to use
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: on your solo records and what you're gonna submit to
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: the Super Jesus.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it was always really easy before because our sounds
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: were so different, styles were so different, getting harder because
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the styles are starting to fuse. It's getting so hard
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: even that I have like fifteen twenty tracks for a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: solo record sitting in my demo box that I'm about
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to work on once the Super Jesus one is out,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: and the guys are saying to me.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Well, what do you got?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Should you know?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Should we should it be a Super Jesus Maybe, but
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't. I'm not sure how far we
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: can push these boundaries of how we want to go
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: or you know, because some of it's quite pop and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a little bit girly, wasn't it be careful of lyrics?
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Like because in the Super Jesus like that's sort of.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Like a man's band is a boy's band, Like men
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: dig the Super Jesus. I've seen our stats. It's all men,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: thirty to fifty year old men like okay, So then
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I'm writing these really girly lyrics, So the boys a
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: solo album.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: That's an interesting point, but it's true.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So I think that lyric lyrically is what really defines it,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: helps separate it, whether it's too personal as well, like
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: some of the songs that are too personal, I like
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to keep them for solo because I feel like when
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I'm in the band, I'm speaking on behalf of everyone
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: likes everyone in the band, I mean, so I'm the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: spokesperson for them, so I can't be saying personal stuff
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: about my lady life. I've got to just be really
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: general and you know, there's something we can all chant
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: to and enjoy. But then when I'm solo, I can
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: get deep in particular.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Well, AULYO, very cool.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: You've also got a wicked cover of gen X's Dancing
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: with Myself on there, like watching is that song to cover?
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And how much work did it take to put your
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: spin on it?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I don't really think we spun on
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it that much. We just jammed on it once and
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: when we were supposed to just put it out as
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: a fun side piece, it was Ready's idea actually, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: then we liked it so much and it worked, like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: let's put on the album.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Why would because we're also we've always been so anti covers.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I don't do it cover it kind of covers, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: because in the nineties that was really uncol to do
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: covers kind of cover, but then we're like, well, Grispoon,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: did you know, like we can do a cover.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: There was another quote from you at Monday Monday that
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I found very interesting, and you said that experiences allowed
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: you to work out the power of simplicity.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Can you keep that for us?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's like the alchemist, you walk one hundred
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: miles to come back where you were to realize you
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: were fine in the first place.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So you come up with a lot of brain. Is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a funny thing.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: It comes up with so much interesting tangents and gold
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: and junk. You know, it's like gold and junk, and
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: it will take you on all these different places, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you've got to do that journey in order to realize
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: what you had in the beginning. Without doing the journey,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: you don't really notice what you've got. So I do
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: this big, long journey in a ride all these elaborate pieces,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and then I go back and I scratch it all out,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: pick by beating.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I don't need that, I don't need that. I don't
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: need that. In fact, I don't need any of this.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: And sometimes that's hard to proof to proof read yourself
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to that degree, because you've got to ditch things that
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: ten minutes ago you thought with gold, oh that chorus
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: is great. Well no, it's actually shit, So it's consider
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: it and then you end up just coming back to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: square one. Because simplicity, the simplest songs.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Are the hardest one to write. But that's what you have.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: That's that's what you want.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Because no one wants to go to a gig and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: try and remember. I mean unless it's Hotel California or something,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: which is such good lyrics that you remember them all.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: But people just want something repetitives that they can jump
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: around to and have fun. And I've thought that too,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Like when I'm at a bar or a club, I
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: want to be able to sing along because it gives
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: me something to do with my face. Otherwise I'm just
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: looking at people going you know, I want to go where,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: not gone to take it?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: No, you're looking around, that's right, guys.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: So the the simplest you can do. It's the hardest
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: thing to be simple and also to connect and you've
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: got to walk a long way to come back to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: cut it. But you can't just wake up and do it.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Well I can't anyway.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: So to celebrate the new album, The Super Genus will
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: be heading out on a national tour, starting Sydney on
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: June is Sick, then you hear avalon Melbourne bar and
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: heads Brisbane and Sunshine Coas and finishing Adelaide on July
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: the fifth. But are you going to be focusing more
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: of the new album or is it going to be
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: a bit of a spread mixture.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Well, we're going to be so bold as to play
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the entire fucking new album and then do us a
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: set of greatest hits because.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: We love the album so much.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: We're like, well, we've released six singles, so everyone knows
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: six songs, so is it gonna kill us to just
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: jam in the other four because we love them, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and then.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: We'll play all the other songs as well.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: But normally, when you when you release an album, you
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: go on tour and you'd play maybe three or four
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: songs from the new album and that's it, and you
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: may never play any of those other songs again.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: By the back of all our other albums. But we've never.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Played any of those songs live, just the singles. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: we love these songs so much we want to play more.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Don't play more, I want to play game Busters Life.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, So that's just what we have to do.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It's gonna play longer.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: The piano out for Diamonds.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Well, we've been talking about that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Do we bother carrying a piano around for the whole
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: tour for one song?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And then when we.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Did the video clip, I had an acoustic there and
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: we did We did half of it like miming with
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: me on the acoustic and when the when the song stopped,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: we just started playing it and we're like, this sounds great.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So I think we're just going to do that on
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: acoustic now because it sounds really good.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And that says it's taking piano, yeah.
• 15:09
