The Count With Sunset Circus

Ten bands everyone should know about:

“This Town Needs Guns, The Design, Bon Iver, Imogen Heap, Dave Matthews Band, The Temper Trap, Biffy Clyro, Meshuggah, Midnight Youth… and, of course… Sunset Circus.”

Nine food items that you need to make a kickarse dinner party:

“Nachos, bacon, burrito kit, steak, wine, twister, knives, cream, mushrooms.”

Eight possessions that define you:

“Hats, white shoes, v-neck's, iMac, metronome, coffee, collection of crime DVDs, our instruments.”

Seven favourite movies/TV shows that go on your mix-tape:

“A Scanner Darkly, Entourage, Wilfred, Arrested Development, The Room, Californication, Trainspotting .”

Six bad habits you can’t escape:

“Drinking, dancing, smoking, biting our nails, watching Unsolved Mysteries re-runs, casino!”

Five people who inspire you:

“Brandon Boyd, Chino Moreno, Phil Threlfall, Victor Wooten, Justin Vernon.”

Four things that turn you on:

“Music, brunettes, massages, the beach.”

Three goals for your music:

“Always try to outdo ourselves with each song we write, Be able to tour the world, have David Guetta mash up a song and turn it into dance gold!”

Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:

“So many great gigs but two of the best were…Biffy Clyro at The Hi-Fi. A three-piece band who put every ounce of energy into every song in their set.

Bela Fleck & The Flecktones at The Corner Hotel. Some of the best musicians and tightest performance you will ever see live.”

One day left before the apocalypse and you…:

“Have a barbecue and acoustic jam session at Frosty's place with all our friends/fans.”
