coming summer; you’re on the bill for Coachella, Shakey Knees Fest and Sasquatch already. Who would your dream headliners at a festival be and where would you hold it? I’d love to see a festival on Brighton beach; that would be pretty cool. I’d have Nick Cave ‘cos he lives in Brighton. He can headline with the guests of his choice. I’d have maybe Miley Cyrus one day, and Oasis as Miley Cyrus’ backing band. As a band you have toured with various artists, from Te Magic Gang to your most recent tour with Drenge and Made Violent. Who has been the most fun to tour with? We’ve been lucky in that we’ve always toured, for the most part, with kind and fun bands so it’s a difficult question. I really enjoyed touring with Drenge because their new album was one of my favourite 2015 releases, so it was fun to watch that every night. Made Violent are the most fun, excitable and lovely group of boys so that was a really good tour. Your musical skills don’t stop with
“I’d love to see a festival on Brightonbeach!”
creating music, as last month you did a little DJ set in Leeds. What would you say is your ultimate party tune to get everyone dancing? Ha ha! Tat’s a hard one. Te only thing that’s coming into my head is Wonderwall by Oasis because it’s all that Teo plays! You always seem to have a lot of fun in your music videos, from the new psychedelic drug infused Freazy to destroying TV’s and singing with cats in Fluffy. Which has been the most fun to make? I think it was Fluffy. It was our first music video, we’d never made one before and we did it on a zero budget so it was quite hard, but I think it was the moment when I realised we were all kind of similar in our approach. We were taking the piss out of ourselves but in a serious way, which is a weird balance. It was funny..I think if we’d made a video about the making of that video it would have been the best thing in the world but unfortunately we didn’t. Yeah, I think it shows in that video that you’re an excitable and happy band, and that vibe comes
off at gigs too, that you just really enjoy what you do. Of all the gigs you’ve played so far, which has been the most memorable? Playing at Te Monarch was good cos it was small and crazy. I’ve had loads..I love playing Brixton and Manchester’s Albert Hall. We played this 200 capacity venue in San Francisco on the final night of the tour with Drenge and Made Violent. Everyone just went crazy, it was really fun, a good example of how bands can bounce off each other. We’ve played tiny shows which have been great..I don’t think I have one favourite gig though. Finally I just wanted to mention the support your lovely fans give you. I know your fanbase is devoted to you, and almost seem like a little family, some travelling miles on Megabuses to see you and making friends with fellow Wolf Alice fans along the way. Did you ever think you would receive such vast and dedicated support? No, definitely not. I think that’s what I’ve been most surprised about, I never thought of that. It’s really amazing and makes everything good!
