A QUICK CHAT WITH LIQUID ZOO

‘I Don’t Want To Be Me’ offers so much indie brilliance, and an intriguing outlook on a negative situation. Did any event in particular have a major influence on the song?

It wasn’t really an event per se, but mainly a general realisation overall that your word and actions can negatively affect the people around you. You can be blinded by your own ego until someone has to tell you what you’re doing is wrong. And it’s a very hard thing to realise about yourself. 

You have a real good repertoire up your sleeves that has gained attraction across DSPs and via triple j Unearthed. How rewarding is it seeing your craft resonate with fans far and wide?

It’s the best feeling ever. All of us value our music more than anything and we always put all of ourselves into making it. I think at the end of the day the goal is to move people with your music and when people respond in such a positive way it’s very fulfilling.

What are some important lessons you’ve learnt being as a band together / touring together / writing together?

I think over the past year we’ve become much better as working as a single unit when playing live and collaborating on songs, and I think it’s really made us improve. We have also had to fully commit ourselves to the band, all moving city together and living in different suburbs, we all really had to push ourselves to practise and make it as productive as possible, which can make you do some amazing things.

2022 seems to be a more forgivable year so far, what’s on the cards for Liquid Zoo?

We have a tone of cool support slots & small events coming up which we are really excited about playing. We’re also going to be recording a brand-new song with Jack Nigro in June which is very exciting! As for the rest of the year we’re hoping for as many more gigs as possible as well getting out all these new songs out that will show Liquid Zoo like you’ve never heard us before.
