musical heroes while still pushing the
musical limits hi I’m Rebecca Brayton

Syrian when I was 16 17 years old I met
a guy called Sergio pizzorno and it was
around the time the Britpop was really
huge in that and he said to me would you
like to sing in a rock band and I
thought you know why not
we went to school together and all that
and we’re really different separate
classes different kind of gangs and

religion three or four times a week then

kid in yang is a I did I was it brought
on Motown music as my parents looked at

stuff like that so it was yeah a nice
musical background I’d say yeah I was
gonna ask any influences we might not
expect but I did not expect that
yeah well yeah he goes how do you think
you guys have evolved from album to
album like what does each album
represent well the first record you know
we lived on a farm what we made so we
were very under the influence of
something at the time you know which was
great and it’s kind of hazy space looped
beats and stuff you know who’s quite
space rock you know and the second album
empires was I could read read for it
pretty pretty bad time at record because
we lost the band member and everyone’s
drinking quite heavy she was quite an
aggressive record you know quite a
lattice record and a beer-fueled and it
