You&#8217;ll come out soaking with sweat and you&#8217;ll always feel sad when they turn the lights on and it&#8217;s finished.<br \/>\nLeeds has the best music scene right now, there are amazing shows on every day at the week. You&#8217;re\u00a0literally\u00a0spoilt for choice. To name a few of our favourite local bands: Post War Glamour Girls, Vitamin, Krrum, Forever Cult, King No-one&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you guys first get together?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kat: We met in college working on a project. Luke contacted me through a\u00a0mutual &#8216;musicy&#8217; friend and asked if I would help him with putting some vocals on a song. To give you an idea\u2026it\u2019s something we still laugh about today.\u00a0It was rushed and messy but we had fun doing it. After that we starting making music in our own time. 4 years later, we live together and we make music nearly every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where does the name come from: car, sport, mint, brand or none of the above?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luke: I have a bit of an obsession with branding, but more specifically, band names. I have hundreds of ideas saved in my phone. Polo was my favourite name on the list, and it still is. I once said to Kat, &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure what Polo sound like, but that\u2019s how I want to sound, because that sounds like a great band&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I think a band name really introduces you, more so that your typical brand or company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve played recently with Bipolar Sunshine and Charlotte OC\u2026tell us about that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kat: To be part of a show with artists who share similar genres was really eye opening. I learnt a lot as a performer and found myself being more comfortable and expressive on stage. I had listened to both artists before gigging with them, so it was\u00a0definitely\u00a0a confidence boost so be on the same bill as them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biggest musical influences for each of you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luke: Nils Frahm, Jeff Buckley, Cat Stevens, Grimes\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Kat: I mostly sway towards female artists if I was to talk about influence, Amy Winehouse being my biggest. Modern artists being BANKS, Lianne La Havas and The Weeknd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s \u2018Visions of Fortune\u2019 about? Tell us about the process behind that track.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luke &amp; Kat: The name &#8216;Visions Of Fortune&#8217; comes from when people look at something or someone, and envision how they can profit and exploit it\/them, irrespective of the consequences.<br \/>\nThe lyrics are based on an interaction between a woman and man, the latter harbouring his own &#8216;Vision Of Fortune&#8217;. He sees her at face value, and makes assumptions and comments based on that. &#8216;He&#8217; is an idiot, and she knows that!\u00a0<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve got a video on the way: what can we expect from that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luke &amp; Kat: The video has been produced by Orillo Productions, who have made all of our (award winning!) music videos previously. It touches upon the themes of the song without being too literal. It&#8217;s a simple, but beautiful video.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/148540662&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next in the pipeline after the single goes live etc.?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luke &amp; Kat: The next single, which we&#8217;re massively excited about. We&#8217;re exploring ourselves as artists more with each song, and we&#8217;re really finding out what we can get away with. People are responding to it too, which is very encouraging. Also, we&#8217;re starting to fill up our gig calendar too, which always makes the future more exciting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does success mean to you\u2026? Platinum discs on the wall or something less commercial?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kat: Haha well I can&#8217;t dispute that I wouldn&#8217;t\u00a0feel\u00a0successful\u00a0having platinum disks on the wall.\u00a0I\u00a0think\u00a0success\u00a0for me would be where we are in a\u00a0position\u00a0where our music is self\u00a0sufficient\u00a0and\u00a0we are\u00a0influencing\u00a0and inspiring people. Not to say that we&#8217;re not aiming big, were after those platinum disks still.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nTalk us through an average day for you \u2013 in the studio or otherwise\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luke: I like to get up early, and make lists of everything we need to do. I&#8217;m pretty organised, but I need to be because I work and Kat studies Law. We spend a lot of time writing, and then record any good ideas later in the week. In the evening we practice with the Dan, our drummer, in a studio around the corner. It&#8217;s nice because now we&#8217;re getting things done so efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Kat:\u00a0My routine is slightly more\u00a0sporadic\u00a0than Luke\u2019s, I can\u2019t lie and say I&#8217;m as organised. I\u2019m constantly juggling uni, band\u00a0and social commitments but I like keeping busy!<\/p>\n<p><em>Polo&#8217;s debut single is released 4th March<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Leeds nightlife is famously buzzing: favourite nights\/Leed\u2019s based artists \u2013 other than yourselves (obviously)?
