It’s amazing but everyone is pretty chill in our crew. I ran out of ways to celebrate so I walked in circles for a bit then settled on a cigarette. When she was number 1 in America it didn’t feel real. It’s cool, most of the crew are from New Zealand so everyone just feels like homies. It’s so nice to play for something that you are so proud of. We acted like a couple of insecure girlfriends for the first few weeks, but it’s a good feeling knowing that you stack up in America coming from New Zealand. Our first show was playing to a room of 150 people in Auckland and then our sixth show was playing to 15,000 at a festival in Australia! The first time we came to America me and the drummer Ben thought that we’d be just a couple of Hillbillies from New Zealand and a couple of amazing session guys would be waiting at the airport to step in for us and we’d be on the next plane home.

MT: So when did you get in to the technology side of music? I went to Jazz school after high school but decided that I didn’t want to do three years of playing jazz – everyone there ended up doing the cruise ship circuit which wasn’t really what I wanted to do. I used to listen to the Siamese Dream album religiously and knew every fill on the record – I used to sit in my room and pretend I was playing that to a big crowd. Jimmy Chamberlain the drummer from the Smashing Pumpkins was my hero. My friends listened to a lot of Metal but my Dad used to take me to all the jazz shows that would come to town. I ended up playing in so many different kinds of bands growing up. When my Mum moved here to New Zealand from Singapore the only job she could get was teaching drums after school at the primary school I went to, so I used to just go along to that and joined in. My mum used to conduct orchestras in Singapore and my Dad used to play in a jazz band. Youtube: youtube.Jimmy Mac: It was through my parents. You can find us on Playstore, Appstore and Steam!
