On Tour With - These New South Whales

These New South Whales head out on tour around the UK this month with DZ Deathrays. The band had a chat with us about ringing ears and smelling good while on the road. 

Are you excited about the tour? What is the best bits you look forward to when hitting the road? We are so excited about this tour! It's going to be our first time playing outside of Australia. We'll be playing in some cities we have never even been to. I love the feeling of not being able to catch your breath or familiarise yourself with your surroundings for any great deal of time. 

 What the main tour essentials you pack and why? 

Fresh clothes. We love to look good and smell good. We ain't no stinky rock-dog band boys ok? Yuck.

What is your best tour experience? 

At our last show on the Gold Coast there were a lot of men who wanted to fight me. They seemed very upset. I'm not a fighter so it got my heart rate going. I enjoyed it for the same reason I enjoy horror movies hehe.

What is your worst tour experience? 

Ringing ears when trying to sleep. 

Who has the most disgusting habits on the tour bus? And what is it? 

When we tour in Australia it's so big that we have to fly everywhere so we will have to get back to you on that!

What can we expect from this tour? Is there anything new in the set list? 

It's all new in the UK / EU baby! We will be playing mostly stuff from our debut record 'You Work For Us' and a couple of new tasty surprises.

If you could tour with anyone, who would it be and why? 

Probably Marilyn Manson 'cos he gets it!

These New South Whales head out on tour this month with DZ Deathrays, their debut album 'You Work For Us' is out now.
