The Count With... Private Life

Name/Band:

Private Life (Renee Cassar and Jamie Barlow)

Ten bands everyone should know about:

Beach House, Twin Shadow, Blonde Redhead, Spoon, Lizzy Mercier, Pavement, M. Ward, Alexander, Dirty Projectors, Ainslie Wills

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

Jamie is head chef around here, so he says he needs; "people" but I kindly pointed out that people are not food, then he said "Wine, herbs, spices, oils, seafood, body paint, foie gras, gristle, truffles!"

Eight possessions that define you:

Jamie: My water bottle, glasses, my Britney CD, my 97 Camry

Renee: My wanna be 80s clothes, my Mac, my bungalow, Metallica - some kind of monster DVD ( I watch this every day for physiological guidance)

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

True Blood, Seinfeld , Mighty Boosh, Man Vs Wild, Game of Thrones, Taxi Driver, Labyrinth because it has Muppet's and Bowie.

Six bad habits you can't escape:

Renee: Biting nails, gambling, saying "new" like its spelt "nuuuuuuu"

Jamie: Being dirty, watching porn, cranking

Five people who inspire you:

Ayaan Hirisi Ali, Herman Hesse, Jeff Buckley, Josh and Guss (the two manly men in our band),

Malcom Gladwell

Four things that turn you on:

Jamie: My own body, the hair on my toes

Renee: Talent and knowledge

Three goals for your music:

We want to play Glastonbury, we want to play at some dirty millionaires cocktail party and we want to dance with Prince

Two live gigs you'll never forget and why:

Dirty Projectors cause it was fucking gooodddd and a '70s fusion cover band playing in Southern China to a bunch of Middle aged women.

One day left before the apocalypse and you…:

Probably just hang with family and friends sit around listening to the Beatles, get a rally car and fly down the Hume and conceive and give birth to my own child

When's the gig / release?

Riding Side Saddle, November 3 at The Prince.
