"We're all coming from different backgrounds," begins JG. "Mo-laudi grew up under apartheid in South Africa. He came over for a couple of years and was the only black kid in a white school. One of the first tracks he wrote, was called 'Where I'm From' which is the story of his life about the general hardship that he grew up in."

"We've all got eclectic tastes," explains Georgia. "I've been playing Willy Mason's 'Where The Human's Eat' repeatedly. It's beautiful. The whole album is wicked. The only person's music tastes we don't mention is the drummer's because it's so bad it would really ruin our reputation."

That's a tad little unfair on the former Hepburn drummer. Regardless of what they are, they made her into the drummer that she is, didn't they?

"Ask Tash after the gig and she might tell you," laughs Georgia.

So what are the others like? What would make a good night out for W.O.M.B.?

"Pete likes the occasional bender. Blair our guitarist is an amazing chef, so he'll be chilling with a very expensive wine and his very sexy bird. Tash likes a good snog, bit of porn, beer and footie," laughs Georgia.

"We're not like, 'life is inherently boring therefore I must fuck myself up every night.' The whole debauchery thing, it's all bollocks," states JG. "It'll sound like the cliché thing but an amazing night out would be a phenomenal gig when we're altogether. We're quite an energetic band. We build up our adrenaline levels so when we come off stage it's really hard to come down. It's magnified if the crowds are there. People don't know our music but when it gets to the point that they do, that's going to be one hell of a good night."
