Welcome to the first of what we hope to be many editions of our new LANEWAY HANGS interview series. Over the course of the ongoing series we'll be hanging out with past and present Laneway artists to chat about life and what's keeping them busy. We'll also get some hang time with artist managers, agents and key people from Laneway to get insights about what makes the world's biggest small festival tick.

Kicking things off in round one are PARQUET COURTS.

We had a chance to chat with the Brooklyn boys last month about a wide range of topics and even though they were a little jet-lagged -- according to them, they visited four continents in an eight day span -- the band still gamely answered questions about their new record Sunbathing Animal (definitely one of our favourites of 2014), the rigours of constantly being on the road and the idea of DIY ethics.

SBTRKT: When Doves Strike

St. Jerome's Laneway Festival is about leading new and revered seminal music. The festival has always been interested in finding what's fresh and great and bringing it to unique settings and surrounds to be appreciated by music lovers.

The size of the festivals, the locations and the way we encourage community all form part of the way in which the Laneway team strive to present a live music experience like no other.
