Empire of the Sun – Interview Questions

Ridiculously short notice I know, especially seeing as no-one but my mum and my dog read this sapling blog BUT on the off-chance that Empire of the Sun fans are floating around between now and midday tomorrow, get in touch if you have any questions to put to this Australian duo.

I am a regular writer for Clash magazine and often get asked to do interviews at short notice, which is great fun. I’m keen to use this here blog to appeal to aficionados of the music act in question to offer potential questions about things they’ve often wondered and haven’t yet discovered about their new favourite band. I’m tempted to ask about the striking similarity between their video for ‘Walking on a Dream’ and most Flight of the Conchords’ flights of fancy, in particular Jemaine’s turn as Bowie. The guy from Pnau could be Bret’s younger brother.

Trumpet tooting time! Here are some of my Clash pieces:

Swn festival 2008

Master Shortie – One to Watch Dec 2008

Editors – Release of An End Has A Start
