ILM: Jo Wiley named you as one of her favourite artists, how's that?

KT: Renee Zelwegger was being interviewed by Jo Wiley and she asked Jo who her favourite new artists were and she said me and Willy Mason! So Renee Zelwegger knows who I am. Jo Wiley has been amazing. She played False Alarm almost a year ago, so she's been on the case with it from really early on. It's impossible to explain how important it is to have someone like her championing it, it just means the world.

ILM: Tell me more about the AKAI Headrush 2 loop pedal.

KT: Basically, it's the cheapest band in the world. I'd seen people using it with the guitar, so they'd loop guitar lines. The first person I saw using it was this guy called Son Of Dave, this amazing Canadian nylon Elvis, and I saw him at the 333 club, Old Street in London. And I was completely mesmerized. He just beatboxed and had a shaker and a mouth organ, and it was amazing. Really lo-fi blues. So I got myself one and thought there must be a way of getting beats by hitting the guitar. So a friend of mine helped me split all the signals so I could put my vocal and guitar through the pedal. Usually you'd just put one thing through. So then I just bashed my guitar and it came out sounding like a drum, and I ended up putting these beats together and it worked perfectly. And there's nothing like a girl with a boy toy it definitely gets people's attention.
