Dougie and Lorenzo from Australian woozy pop rockers Temper Trap
5 bands we love at the moment:
Dougie: Florence & The Machine
Lorenzo: Grizzly Bear
Dougie: Mumford & Sons
Lorenzo: Passion Pit and Radiohead
4 things we always take on tour:
Dougie: I take my Nintendo DS - my favourite game at the moment is...um...Mario! And Beat Agents. It's so insane.
Lorenzo: A soccer ball so we can play in our downtime and I also take a big rubber band to exercise because I have really bad shoulders. My arms always pop out. I also take my PSP. I'm only playing FIFA at the moment but I'm about to get Tony Hawks. We all used to skateboard back in the day.
3 things we hate about festivals:
Dougie: I wish it never rained. I wish the toilets wouldn't stink.
Lorenzo: I wish the changeover times between bands were a bit longer. We had twenty minutes today and it was a nightmare. We don't have a road crew...we are the road crew.
2 great things that have happened to Temper Trap this year:
Dougie: We charted in the UK. We're not playlisted on Radio One and we're pretty much a no-name band from Australia so it's pretty amazing.
Lorenzo: And we played Summer Sonic in Tokyo which was brilliant. We'd never been to Japan before. Seeing Radiohead on Sunday is going to be pretty great too.
1 bit of festival advice:
Dougie: Bring toilet paper.
Lorenzo: Bring a Parka.
