Interview by Kris Peters

Good Things Festival 2022 was so much fun for a lot of different reasons, but for HEAVY it also marked a significant milestone.
We were granted unprecedented backstage access for the final show of the tour in Brisbane on December 4, and didn’t we make the most of it!
It was challenging, fun, hectic, chaotic and nerve-wracking, but above all, it was a shit tonne of fun.
All up we did 7 or 8 video interviews on the day and up until now, we have only published the audio which doesn’t even capture part of the live experience. But now, thanks to cameraman extraordinaire Squirty who has spent hours editing and shuffling and splicing, the full video interviews are ready to roll out.
So keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks and watch how the HEAVY team handled every spontaneous outburst directed our way. We have left in pretty much everything, including the mistakes, to try and give you all an accurate peek behind the HEAVY curtain.
One of my favourite parts of doing the interviews was actually getting to meet some people I have spoken to a few times but only ever seen through a screen.
One of those people was Thornhill frontman Jacob Charlton who was every bit as cool in real life as he was over Zoom. So was the rest of the band for that matter. Very switched on young gentlemen indeed!!!
