On phase, Australian electropop band Parcels are the total superstar plan: fascinating, lively, and propulsive. Off phase, they’re simply a team of average individuals who love Coke Zero, Japanese scotch, and Geese
Minutes before the indie-pop collective took over Zilker Park with its Daft Punk-level grooves at Austin City Purview on Oct. 4, members Jules Crommelin, Noah Hill, Patrick Hetherington, Louie Swain, and Anatole “Toto” Serret used their “hive mind mindset” by splitting a box of Mike & Ikes and switching instruments backstage. It’s not precisely their common preshow routine– focused sugar products are a large no-no on their rider– but after their memorable efficiency on the Miller Lite phase, perhaps it must be.
If you didn’t get to catch them on Weekend One, you’ll have one more possibility to catch them when they play Weekend Two on Oct. 11 But also for currently, please appreciate Parcels’ recap of ACL W 1 below, solely on NYLON.
“Hello there we are Parcels”
“Invite to our environment-friendly area. It’s a non negotiable that our in ear displays should hinge on gold velour.”
“A very candid communication in between Toto and Jules.”
“Jules wanted to participate in this image however said his face was as well tired to be recorded.”
“Focused sugar items are banned from our motorcyclists. They made it into the green area at ACL. All of it was taken in.”
“Louie’s pre program beverage of option is coconut water followed by a few sips of Japanese bourbon.”
“Noah’s pre-show drink of option is Coke Zero generally, sometimes Coke full sugar, and on rare celebrations a glass of champagne.”
“Jules paying attention to Geese play from afar.”
“United States playing each various other’s tools 10 minutes before stage to truly take advantage of the hive mind mentality.”
