the AU BIGSOUND interview: Mitzi (Brisbane)

We talk to Mitzi ahead of their BIGSOUND appearance. They let us in on what they’re up to at the moment, what the rest of the year will be holding, what we can expect from them at BIGSOUND and more…

What are you up to at the moment… what are you promoting at BIGSOUND?

We released our debut album Truly Alive in February and we are currently writing new material. We released a free song just last week on our Soundcloud called “Falling”.

Have you played BIGSOUND before?

This will be our first BIGSOUND. We are looking forward to it! We played SXSW this year though which was an amazing experience. BIGSOUND is our hometown so its going to be sentimental.

What have you heard about it and what are you expecting?

We’ve heard great things otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it! Its going to be a great opportunity to check out plenty of bands you normally wouldn’t get to see.

What can crowds expect from your shows?

We are showcasing some visuals which are synched. We are pretty proud of it. Local Brisbane legend/art god/filmer/video guru Tim Lovett made it and its a trip.

Are there any bands you’re looking forward to seeing perform?

Elizabeth Rose

Any talks/speakers you’re looking forward to?

Nick Cave, Richard Moffat, Chad Gillard & Nathan Mclay

What are three essential items for life on the road?

Deodorant, Coconut Water, Headphones

What will the rest of 2013 be holding for you?

Just plenty of writing and recording. Slaves to the music.
