After our recent interview-a-thon at London’s OFFSET festival, we caught up with the headliners ATARI TEENAGE RIOT and MYSTERY JETS. While they couldn’t be more different, they were so professional (none of this cursing malarkey) that we dedicated two videos to them – a foolish stab at all things food related, name dropping and what gives them the thrills.
MYSTERY JETS
In this snippet, Mystery Jets, Blaine Harrison (aka the hidden goth in MJ) politely bragged how his dodgem skills beat Arcade Fire, what salty carb is best eaten with milkshake and how he’s not so trendy after all…
ATARI TEENAGE RIOT
In this snippet, Alec Empire, one third of ATR, took a break from the intense questions he’d been plonked with and indulged our silliness. Before you heckle “you asked Empire that?!” he actually rather enjoyed himself – we found about his strict diet, gnashing on poisonous Japanese fish and his proud crush on OFFSET.
