Interview: Cults for Laneway Festival 2012

Our musical heroes are… David Bowie, Lesley Gore, Outkast, Patience & Prudence and Wu-Tang Clan.
Our first single “Go Outside” from our eponymous debut album… was written in 30 minutes; glockenspiel and automatic writing fit like a hand in a glove.
We didn’t have a clue what was going on… when we opened for Sleigh Bells in May 2010. We were epic failures and didn’t even know how to play but we are much better now.
We try very hard to be… mature, but are far from it. We are playful, like a bunch of childish pranksters.
We love playing festivals like Laneway because… it’s a great opportunity to reach out to folks who might not have heard of us.

Chant along to the playground tunes of Cults on February 12 at Laneway Festival 2012 at the Fort Canning Park.
