•Hamish on Channel Z, 9/04/99 talking about what happened when
the guys were late for the 'Big Bill'. Jon's the interviewer.
JON: Did you expect them to come get you in an ambulance from the
airport
HAMISH: Something like that had to happen
JON: You delibrately missed the plane didnt you
HAMISH: The plane was delayed
JON: Yeah right
HAMISH: We got a bit boozed and disorganised on the plane, got off the
plane and had about half an hour to get there and we thought we could
get there and walk on stage after half an hour but i barked at the
drug dog walking pass i went "woof woof woof" it looked at me and went
nuts at me, it went NATO at me, no it shouldnt say that, it went nutty
at me, and the guy's going the bloody phucking dog's ID-ed you.

"Basically that is the centre of media in New Zealand so to get the exposure you need
you really have to be there and be in their faces,"
- Matttt about them moving to Auckland - Gisborne Herald, July `98.
"There is quite a lot of intense guitar work but there are also some samples in
there," ... "One song in particular, Pull The Strings, has a defiinite disco
element to it and there are some "nice" songs in there as well."
- Mattt about the album to the Gisborne Herald, July `98.

"... we'll be drunken womanising arseholes for the next few
years at least ... It's terrible for me to say this, but the band lifestyle thing has got
the better of us, we were nice guys until we started doing this ... It's virtually
impossible for me and James to hold down relationships at the moment, but once it's all
over we'll go back to being nice guys, sort it out with our girlfriends and buy a house in
the Marlborough Sounds with our royalty cheques."
- Hamish joking to Cleo magazine Aug `98.
