Ali from Brisbane indie rockers The Cairos discusses gross worm things, their third EP, backstage riders, and what’s in the water up there.

Something quite amazing is happening to indie pop and rock in Brisbane of late, with impossibly catchy music coming from Hungry Kids Of Hungary, Last Dinosaurs, Ball Park Music, DZ Deathrays, Bleeding Knees Club and, of course, The Cairos.

On their third EP, ‘Colours Like Features’, Ali from the band tells us about their gross new clip for ‘Shame’, their habit of photographing their backstage riders, picking up live tips from Mutemath, why Brissy music is so good, and when a full length album is finally coming out, dammit.
