Where else are you looking forward to visiting which isn't a venue?
Hahei. I spent most of my summers growing up in Hahei at our family bach. There was a really awesome beach rope swing and some sweet caves for snorkelling. So I'm looking forward to staying a night there on the way through.
Any sage advice about surviving the silly season?
Don't try to hide from it - embrace it and all the festivity that comes with it.
What are your plans for New Year's Eve?
Playing at Mt Maunganui, then no doubt drink a mixture of alcoholic beverages and see what happens after that.
Do certain styles of music make more sense during the hot and sweaty months of summer?
80s cock-rock makes perfect sense during summer. And strangely enough Queen makes many appearances too.
Is it tough having to work when everyone else is partying and on holiday?
No, it's awesome. Everyone is in an excellent mood and we get our fair share of partying in too, so no need to worry.
