Interviewer: With us is Ben from silverchair on the phone. Hello.

Ben: Hello.

Interviewer: How was Harvey Bay? I heard it go a bit hot.

Ben: Yeah it was bloody hot, possibly the hottest gig we've ever played.

Interviewer: Like can you describe the scene on how you felt while you were playing at Harvey Bay.

Ben:Umm, it basically felt like a sauna like we were playing inside a sauna with a lot of clothes, like you know you usually go inside there with cogs or something on you know like a lot of clothed people in a sauna. That's it.

Interviewer: It was , was it actually inside a room, it wasn't outside in an auditorium kind of setting?

Ben: Oh no. It was a hot sweaty pub gig, that's what it was.

Interviewer: A bit like the Freak clip.

Ben: Yep, yep exactly

Interviewer: Probably the word to sdescribe it. You had a day off yesterday. You went to the Gold Coast how was that?

Ben: It was a lot of fun actually. We layed around the pool all day and , um, went to the beach and , um yeah and we went to sizzler for tea the night before which was pretty cool.

Interviewer: Hey big international rock stars don't go to sizzler.

Ben:Yeah that's why we went there.

Interviewer: I knew you'd say that. Ok so tonight you got the River Stage gig.

Ben: Yep

Interviewer:Now that sounds cool. How's it looking have you been out there yet? Have a look?

Ben: I have. I watched a bit of Something for Kate and um after this phone call I'm going to check out a bit of Magic Dirt, but um yeah other than that it looks really cool.

Interviewer: And you've got the Gold Coast gig tomorrow with the Offspring.

Ben: Yep

Interviewer: Now that's going to be out of control

Ben: I think, yeah. I'm thinking a pretty good gig for that one too.

Interviewer: Cus it's the end of schoolies, I think, tomorrow.

Ben: Is it?

Interviewer: Yeah.

Ben: I wouldn't know. We didn't have the opportunity to go to school.

Interviewer: I know you had to go and work.
