Speaker 2: A right, Yeah, We've chatted plenty of times, keV. I'm

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: a massive fan. Actually, keV, I do have to say

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: it was a few weeks ago.

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: I actually was.

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: It would have been about a month ago. And I

10
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: saw you in the Quantus lounge and I saw you

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: from a distance, but you're on your computer, and in

12
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: my mind I was saying to myself, he's probably mixing

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: an amazing song.

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: I can't go over.

15
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: And bother him, because when you see Kevin Parker on

16
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: a laptop, you're thinking, oh my god, he's got gold

17
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: in front of him. I need to go and check behind.

18
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: But I was just too scared to go over and

19
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: say hello, keV. So I apologize that.

20
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 3: Man.

21
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 4: It could have got either way. It could have been

22
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: either extreme. I could have been working on that. I

23
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 4: could have been just googling absolute pulp.

24
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: You know, we are so excited to have you back

25
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: in October. keV. It's you.

26
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,920

28
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,360

29
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,639
Speaker 2: as well, so world aren't.

30
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's totally bonkers. Yeah, thank you.

31
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: But you must yearn to come back home at some stage.

32
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: I know you're in Perth at the moment and everyone

33
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: or family friends must be going. Well, if you can

34
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: call a US tour, why can't you call an Australian tour?

35
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: When are you going to get it? Of course?

36
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been saying the same thing. I've been saying

37
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: the same thing. I'm like, when are we doing Australia?

38
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,760

40
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: like official now, you know. I was like not going

41
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: to believe it until it was official.

42
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: It's going to be very exciting.

43
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: You're going to Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and obviously over to

44
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,400

Speaker 1: Congratulations on the new album.

46
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: I know you talk about this album Deadbeat was inspired

47
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: by the rave scene of Western Australia.

48
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Well, we're talking talking nineties, is that correct?

49
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: Look, I think it was taken a little bit out

50
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: of context, a litle about of proportion. Let's say, you know,

51
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: one of the many things that like inspires me. Like

52
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: I love to just sort of like you know, have

53
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 4: things that inspire me and just sort of like think

54
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: of them constantly, you know, and like and like bushdofs

55
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: is one of them.

56
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: I just I just got I just love.

57
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: The energy and the freedom and like being off the

58
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: grid and just music being the only thing. Just that

59
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: that kind of like cy trance, that kind of techno,

60
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: you know, I just like that just feeds into my

61
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: energy of making music.

62
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: What do they call a bush duff in the States.

63
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: They don't really have a word for it.

64
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that it wasn't it wasn't a universal word.

65
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: They're all asking me what it is, you know, They're

66
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: all like, what's a boush do? So that was kind

67
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: of like literally every interview that I did was like

68
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 4: they were like just had this like real funny way

69
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: of pronouncing it that I had a chuckle too.

70
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't really have a word for it.

71
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 4: So half of my interviews in America has been like

72
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: explaining what.

73
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: A bush duff is.

74
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: You must have to explain quite a bit over there

75
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: because they're still trying to work out our accent as well.

76
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: But where do you get inspiration these days to write

77
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: your music?

78
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: You know what?

79
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: I just love the footage of you within this speaker

80
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: and recording that and that place in the middle of

81
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: nowhere keV near the beach there which you ended up

82
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: purchasing yourself. But do you need somewhere like that these

83
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: days to go and produce music and put it all

84
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: together or do you do it on the road or

85
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: what are you thinking?

86
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 4: I don't need somewhere like that, but it definitely helps

87
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: me just remove myself from reality, you know, and just

88
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: go away and just be completely consumed, consumed by the music.

89
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: That's That's always the thing that has just sort of

90
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: like really enabled me to get stuck in. But like, honestly,

91
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: inspiration for me comes when I'm in the middle of

92
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: nowhere just as much when it does when I come

93
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: when I'm in the middle of everywhere, you know, Like

94
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: songs come to me when I'm like the most sort

95
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: of like feeling the most hectic or stressed or ang

96
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: you know, music can come then as well. It's like

97
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 4: it's like opposite extremes. But I just go there to

98
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: be like in my happy place.

99
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, going on the road as well, very

100
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:10,720

00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: rock star wants to be a professional sports person, and

117
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,640

Speaker 1: out here, keV.

120
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,200

00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: a hundred goals for the Freemantle Dockers and to win

122
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,440

00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: I'd do whatever it takes, my friend. I'm sure we

125
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: all would. You know I would, the players would, and

126
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: that's all the matters.

127
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,080

Speaker 1: I've got to be far Fee.

130
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: Obviously I was about to get and he unfortunately just

131
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: had to jump off the line because he's now the

132
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: Swan's CEO and he had to go into a meeting.

133
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: But I had Matthew Pavlich ready to go to have

134
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: a go at, yeah, because it would have been very

135
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: close between Fife and Pavlich, wouldn't it.

136
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: Definitely.

137
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: But at the same time, I also, I mean it's like, yeah,

138
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: I know you said of all times. So like the

139
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: players and the team at the moment kind of you know,

140
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: I've learned the experience there, but like some of some

141
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 4: of the players that are still on the team at
