Every time we check in with Sydney three piece Seekae the lads seem to be stepping up to new heights. Last time it was with their assured +DOME LP from earlier in the year and now they’re back to give that record a big send off with an Australian tour which comes on the back of a successful trip overseas for the Northern summer. Stick with us as we find out what’s been popping in the world of Seekae.

So how’re you feeling about 2011 so far? We’ve passed the halfway mark of the year and you guys have been pretty busy, does it feel like you’ve accomplished a lot?

“We’re feeling great! It’s been a lot of work, but it’s given us the chance to travel and play all around the country and overseas which has been fantastic. We feel like we’ve accomplished a fair amount, but there’s still a long way to go.”

You guys were in Europe for a while, right? What was that like? Any highlights of the trip?

“Europe was tip top. We spent the majority of our time in England, but it was great to play in France as well. The highlight would have to be when Alex was accosted by a young Liverpudlian lady after a show, turns out he’s wanted by women all over the globe.”

What’s the reaction to you guys outside of Australia like? Both with fans and other artists that you might have a kinship with.

“The reaction was surprisingly good compared to what we predicted. Our first show at The Great Escape festival in Brighton was to a room full of about 250 people who seemed to get mad jiggy with it. We also played a headline show in London with a few artists we were into, Klaus and Lapalux, which was ghetto-ambientastic.”

What are the advantages, do you think, of touring overseas than in Australia? Are there just more audiences over there than in Australia?

“Well, for us this was really just testing the water, so I don’t think we’ve seen the full advantages just yet. It’s easy to see though that in Europe alone there’s an abundance of festivals and people seem more open to an electronic style of music as well, perhaps as lot of it originates from there. There certainly are more people in Europe, but I think it’s the vast popularity of genres over there that are still quite niche here that makes playing there different.”
