Australian electronic music duo, Peking Duk will headline the THIS STAGE on Saturday, November 5 when the THIS THAT festival rolls into town. We were lucky enough to score a Q and A with Adam from the outfit…
NL: What’s the best and worst thing about playing a gig in Newcastle?
ADAM: The best thing is how sweaty and clowntown it gets each time. The worst is the hangover the next day
NL: Tell us something Peking Duk gets up to at festivals like THIS THAT as opposed to your own headline shows.
ADAM: Festivals with great bills such as this that are always a good time. We like to mingle a lot, crash other people’s dressing rooms and trade riders etc. Also, you never know when someone else on the bill will come out on stage to get jiggy.
NL: What’s it like to smoke 5 cones with Jimmy Barnes?
ADAM: The man is a king. Great dude with great talent. Big up jimmy.
NL: You went to Sweden in June. Meet any over friendly fans?
ADAM: Haha Sweden was a very beautiful experience in many ways. We were in the studio nonstop and clowning about all night so it was really one big beautiful blur. Sweden is fucking amazing.
NL: Who’s the loosest band you’ve ever been on a bill with?
ADAM: There’re quite a few loose legends we’ve played with. The one that comes to mind recently that was hilarious is when we did a show in NZ and Sticky Fingers came out for a boogie during our set. We had this brick of stinky as fuck blue cheese backstage that ended up getting thrown all over the crowd. Pure gold.
Peking Duk play the THIS THAT festival on Saturday, November 5. Tickets are on sale now!
