WHAT’S…
…your secret talent?
Years ago, Mario Zoots and I were making music in Denver, Colorado under the name Whore Hair, it was chaotic stoner noise and we were making hours of recordings each week on an old VHS camera that we’d then edit down to 3-6 minutes and make a video. This type of intense art making has a certain lifecycle and people starting coming over and collaborating. I think our secret talent is this type of open collaboration, and allowing the band to change and find influence in other places. I’m not sure this is much of a secret, but there’s been a level of anonymity about the band because we live in different cities now and the whole of the group isn’t really represented by a single person. The anonymity has been unintentional but in some ways very powerful.

…the story behind your name?
I’m not sure who to credit for the name, I really can’t remember. In Denver, one night, on Youtube, I think… Denver’s a small city in the middle of the US, and [there are] a lot of young people who believe in magic and the power of making art and music to express and relieve the tensions of living in this in between and very industrial place. Every night music happens somewhere - Rhinoceropolis, Glob Glob, Bar Bar, Curtis Street, hi-dive, the Mercury, at various people’s homes - there’s a special casting in and out of certain energies in the music scene there. Denver is also fairly close city to the four corners energy vortex.
