Band members Sebastian Moederle-Lumb, Sam Mason, Liam Cain and Luke Mackie are all talented musicians on the Level 4 Artist Development Course here at Westwood, like myself. Seb is the lead vocalist and guitarist, Sam plays bass guitar, Liam plays drums as well as vocals and guitar for acoustic renditions of their songs, and Luke... does "stuff and things" (in his own words) mostly playing the wrong chords (in his band mate's words) on guitar and helping with recording. Each has their own background, influences and aspirations. Coming together by pure accident (or as they so eloquently put it, sent on a mission from God) they formed around a month ago, and are currently working on their eponymous EP.

- Outside of the band, what else do you plan to do music-wise?
Seb - I plan to go to university next year, and continue to song-write
Luke - I'd like to get laid (a lot).
Sam - I'd like to do sound design for TV and movies, possibly in the horror genre
Liam - I plan to continue composing tracks, perform live more, and record an album of original material.
- Are you guys friends outside of the band?
Seb - We normally get along better if we're drunk
Sam - ... or hating on Liam.
... onto fun questions:
- Would you rather be completely bald, or covered in green hair?
Seb - Green hair, definitely.
Luke - We could braid it, or shave it off and make carpets to sell as fan merchandise.
- Would you rather have fingers as long as your legs, or legs the size of your fingers?
Seb - Fingers as long as legs. Although if I had fingers the size of my legs, I could play guitar with them, and do random back-flips on the guitar at gigs.
- Would you rather have a cheese grater inside you or be inside a cheese grater?
Sam - Well, having a cheese grater inside of you would be painful.
Seb - I'd live inside the cheese grater, and have a... completely legal cigarette.
Luke - Or eat cheese.
The guys have already performed at Quids Inn and college gigs, with plans for more in the future, including the Christmas gig here at Westwood on Wednesday the 14th of December. They hope to release their EP some point next year, so stay tuned on social media, and check out their videos on YouTube and Facebook:
