Jak: Let’s start off easy, you guys messaged us in the hopes of an interview. On a scale from 1-10, how obsessed are you? Like geez, buy me dinner first.
Hahahahah, definitely a solid 11 💛, Nexus Mag is the sole reason we get out of bed in the morning and make music.
Jak: I think with a name like Lunar Intruder there’s an immediate transcendent vibe you give off. Where do you derive your sound? Who are some of your inspirations?
We honestly didn’t plan our sound around the name aye! It kinda just randomly just got thrown around at practice and we went from there. We derive our sound from relatability/ personal experiences along with what we’re bumping on Spotify at that point in time lol. Inspirations include: Fontaines DC, Marlins Dreaming, Turnstile, Soaked Oats, Radiohead, Skegss etc.
Jak: I’d be lying if I said that Solar Hangover hasn’t been saved in my library for a while–what can we expect from the upcoming music? Any callbacks?
I’d say it’s more closely based on our third EP, Moonlight. We rated how that sounded so thought we’d head in that sort of direction. We’re all getting older, reminiscing about the old days with the homies getting on the rark in the shithole flats we used to live in, so this album is gonna have a more self-reflecting/coming of age/nostalgic tone to it.
Jak: I want to know what everyone’s favourite drink is. Nothing sinister here.
Matt – Lion Red (Virgin).
Cam – Red wine (Yuck).
Max – Whisky Highball (Balla).
Ricki – Hazy IPA (Wetwipe).
Jak:With an upcoming tour in August, who would you love to open for in the future? And likewise, who would you want opening for you?
FONTAINES DC OR THE BETHS 🙏🙏🙏
Nah in all seriousness we want people to hit us up to open for them.
Especially if they’re new to the scene or don’t get opportunities to play in front of decent sized crowds. We wanna help out as many up-and-coming bands as we can. (We were once in their shoes).
Jak: What can people expect when coming to a Lunar Intruder show? Any major things to watch out for?
A lot of nudity, shit chat, shoey’s and phat groovy basslines. 👹
Jak: With the new single ‘Inside Out’ coming out soon, is there an EP on the horizon? Am I being needy? Should I calm down?
We’ve got an album coming out in April. 🤐
Jak: And finally, Hamilton shows when?
May 2024 😎
