Tell us a little bit about yourselves. Where have you come from? Where are you going?<\/strong><\/p>\nTwo guys living in Bristol, making house music. Neither of us are originally for here, but we both consider it our home now. Where are we going, who knows, but the journey is pretty exciting right now!<\/p>\n
What’s with the name? What does it say about you?<\/strong><\/p>\nIt would be really great to say there was a big story behind the name, but in reality it came about because we had a track coming out with Leftroom and needed a name. We went through a whole bunch of terrible, terrible options, until we landed on Waifs & Strays, which we liked and went with that!<\/p>\n
How has Bristol influenced your music? Where do you look for inspiration?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe city has such a rich culture in music especially electronic music. There are so many great people making amazing music here and luckily most of them are our friends, people like Eats Everything, Lukas, Christophe, DJ Die and loads of others. Plus we have a lot of friends who are putting on amazing events such as Love Saves the Day and See No Evil in Bristol. As its a small city everyone in the scene knows everyone so there is a real community feel.<\/p>\n
Kicking off with FOUND festival in a couple of days’ time, what have you guys got planned for the summer? Any festivals in particular we should watch out for?<\/strong><\/p>\nWe are doing lots of festivals this summer – Love Saves the Day, Isle of Wight, Secret Garden, Burning Man, Eastern Electrics and the daddy of them all Glastonbury! Being from Bristol, Glastonbury has a special place in our hearts so it\u2019s a massive honour to finally play there! We love festivals so it\u2019s shaping to be a great summer!<\/p>\n
Tell us something we don’t know.<\/strong><\/p>\nThere are 20 Lego bricks for every person on the planet.<\/p>\n
