from heaps good friends
What inspires your lyrics? Sometimes my friends
say really small but beautiful things that make me
love them even more – and if it makes me think,
“Hmph, that’d be a great lyric,” usually it makes the
cut! What do you typically get up to on a Saturday
night? Dancing with my buddies until our heels are
swollen, then go home and make Vegemite toast.
Or writing music with Nick in his studio. Or I like to
watch wrestling. Elton John or Bruce Springsteen?
Although Springsteen’s “State Trooper” makes me
feel like I’m in a Quentin Tarantino film, Elton is my
dad cooking us pizza on a Friday night when I was
growing up. Elton it is! Favourite hangover breakfast?
It doesn’t differ much to my regular, which is small
fried chunks of sweet potato; two fried eggs; half an
avocado; and a ‘thank you’ to my roommate Pia for
holding back my hair. Who gives the best hugs in the
band? Nick. Long arms are his not-so-secret weapon.
Where do you feel most at home? I really like people.
Hanging out one-on-one with someone, doing the
things they love to do with them. Activities range from
watching documentaries or eating somewhere new, to
helping a buddy write music and going to the beach.
What’s next for Heaps Good Friends? We’re releasing
our debut EP Hug Me in early March, followed by a
national tour! On the side, we’ll be writing some new
music; Nick will buy a new synthesiser; and Dan will
probably have to replace his car sometime soon. I’m
sorry, man, but she’s falling apart.
a rosette by
any other name
As far asLeila Sanderson
is concerned, you don’t
need to win a race or
join a political party to
justify pinning a ribbon on
your chest. Any of life’s
milestones are worth
acknowledging with a
rosette – and Leila makes
some of the finest around.
Handcrafted from precisely
folded ribbon, each one
is made to order by the
Melbourne-based lass
herself, using 18th-century
millinery techniques.
Fancy, huh? Have a gander
