Get To Know : Adult DVD

Please introduce your band

I'm Harry, I sing and play some synth. 

Then there's Greg on Synths/vocals, Jake on Synths, Danny on Guitar/Synths, George on Bass/vocals and Jonny on Drums. 

How did you all meet? 

Me and Jonny were playing in a band and the rest of the boys were also in a band. So we knew of each other and each other's bands. Saying that though, both of our bands once played a show together but I don't think any of us spoke to each other once that night. 

Then I got a job on the bar at the Brudenell and ended up speaking to them whenever they would come in and became friends from that. I then filled in for a couple of gigs when one of their members couldn't do it. Both of those bands ended and me and Greg were keen to start making tunes together, so we did! And here we are. 

Who or what has inspired the band's sound?

I'm shit at this question sorry, I have a new favourite band every week. 

What's been your fave gig to play to date / Funniest moment on stage?

We have just come back from a European tour, which was full of very fun shows. 

Someone chucked a beer from the crowd on the first night of the tour, which ended up on stage. it swilled one of Jake's synths. 

It meant we had to cut the set  slightly short so it wasn't funny at the time, but we can laugh about it now as we managed to replace the part the next day, and continue the tour as normal. We didn't get a pint chucked at us intentionally by the way, it was just a very lively gig. I think anyway. 

Tell us about the Leeds scene at the moment, who are you excited about?

Loads! Fuzz Lightyear, Neve Cariad, Treeboy and Arc, Honesty, Zoe Cure, Spielmann, Hang Linton

Congrats on the new EP! Which track are you most looking forward to playing live?

Thanks! We have been playing 'Do Something' for a few shows now and that seems to go down well, people get into it. So hopefully more of that!

How have your musical tastes changed from when you first started playing to your latest release?

I think I've done a bit of a circle to be honest, when we first started the band I only wanted to listen to synths and no more guitar bands. But now I love indie guitar bands again. 

But will probs be into Gabba next week.
