SANZ: How did the name for The Feelers come about?
James: No no
Hamish: That's an 18 year old question we cant remember 18 years ago I don't like this game, no I don't like this game hahaha.
SANZ: What’s the best thing that has happened to The Feelers so far?
Hamish: Musically or just life in general
SANZ: Musically pretty much.
Hamish: Musically
James: Getting signed I guess is a start.
Hamish:  Basically having a degree of success that we can live on comfortably and have music as our full time job you know it's kind of like the old days when you'd watch the All Blacks you know and it's David Kirk and Dr so n so Bildo
it would be a bummer if you were in a band and had to be like that we'd be all like the All Blacks and have to train all the time you know.
SANZ: What has been the most memorable moment in your music career

James: I kind of liked supporting Velvet Revolver in Switzerland that time that was kind of fun 

Hamish: that was nice
James: Touring with Matchbox20
Hamish: Touring with Matchbox20 was alot of fun I suppose the highlights have been touring and basically playing infront of the more people the better and you can cheat the system by going on tour with bands that are much more famous then you are like Matchbox20 or Velvet Revolver and look at their sea of tens of thousands of people and just for that hour and a half that you're playing pretend they're just there to see you
SANZ: If someone had told you 17 years ago that you guys would become a big name in the music industry what would you have told them
James: I would have said we haven't quite achieved that yet we're still working towards that.

SANZ: You're a pretty big name from what i've seen on facebook
Hamish: Yeah but we're not relaxing we're still setting goals we do make a point of going overseas as often as we can touring around Europe and what not.We do reasonably well we get radio play in Switzerland, Austria Cztech Republic, Germany we go over and do all that we still haven't cracked the United States yet
SANZ: Im guessing thats one of the goals
Hamish: Thats always been a goal but we're realists you know there's ten thousand other bands living there on the ground in Los Angeles you know that are going up to the offices at Capitol and bringing them Chinese takeout and greasing up to them but we do go over and we try
SANZ: What do you prefer to do work and record in a studio or perform live

James: Ahh 50% of both
Hamish: It's a multi faceted occupation being in a band so once the cabin fever of being in a studio which is obviously a really creative environment which is nice having a creative outlet cabin fever starts to kick in the most opposite thing you can think of is going on the road  
James: Then you get cabin fever in a van then you go back into the studio
Hamish: Yeap. Then you just all travel around the world and write songs that's the holiday thats the third facet very different facets and they all compliment eachother
SANZ: what would you say is the best thing about performing live
James: well I spose the enjoyment of sharing our music with people and getting the energy back. (JOKING: I like it when chicks pull their tops up I think that's very cool
Hamish:(JOKING: that's depending on the chick and depending on whether my wife caught me)
Photographer: How about if a guy does it
James: Not so much
Hamish: It's just as cool if a guy does it's funny I suppose the really nice part of playing live is somthing you've been working on in the studio it's brand new cos on this tour we've been playing alot of the brand new material cos we've just released an album  so we're showcasing quite a few of those new songs it's a nice warm fuzzy feeling when you see people kind of trying to sing along even though they've never heard it before getting into it to the point where they're watching your lips and theyre trying to anticipate what you're about to sing it's just nice to get that level of appreciation.
