Interview
Stu and Joey chat to Ben about the depth of the King Gizz fanbase and the surrealism of being on the other side, synthesiser guts, the intricacies and mystery of interfacing from the ground up, and what fans can expect at their upcoming traditional vs rave shows from a band "flipping the script".

Interview
Stu and Joey articulate their divergent processes of exploring genre, the influence of nostalgia vs what feels good, the difference between the recorded sound of a vocoder and what it sounds like "irl", looking back at the original demos and being able to hear themselves figuring out the sonic direction, and their FREE performance this afternoon at Hum on King.
