Whilst at CHAGSTOCK, we chatted to a bunch of bands either before or after their performances over the weekend. Below, you’ll find links to them including a brief synopsis of what we discussed, enjoy!

PATTERN PUSHER

When we see that Pattern Pusher are playing at a festival we’re covering, we always have a chat to them. What starts out as a nice innocent interview ALWAYS gets ambushed by one of the band and it ends up diverting to something that would be of interest to the local law enforcement agency. In this case, things weren’t too far off track but I’m sure you’ll have a laugh as we bumble our way through the usual questions with some fabulous responses! Topics include;

• Tea and Crumpets (with peanut butter)

• Festival nakedness

• Renaissance Paintings

• Orgies (Ben C)

• New album news

• Festival survival tips

MALAVITA

This was the first time I’d had the pleasure of catching this colourful festival band live, I’ve heard so much about them and have had many other people tell me how great they are so I was EXCITED to chat to them after their main stage set at CHAGSTOCK, here’s what we discussed.

• What festivals mean to them

• Happy People

• TikTok

• Goodfellas

• New music

• Camping mishaps

• Quickfire questions

• Weather

It’s been a good couple of years since we last saw FEROCIOUS DOG so I thought it would be nice to have a catch up ahead of their headline set on the Big Top stage. As well as the generic questions, we covered a multitude of things including;

• Drinking cheap warm cider at a festival in 38 degree heat

• Touring in Germany

• UK festivals

• Traffic

• Karvol capsules inside dust masks (fascinating story)

• Quickfire questions
