EMPIRE OF THE SUN INTERVIEW

socialstereotype.com
Empire of the Sun are one of the most eccentric pop acts to come along in years. This is a video I made when interviewing the duo for this month's issue of Dazed & Confused. It's quite strange interviewing two guys dressed like outcasts from a Star Wars convention in a dark, empty film studio in Hendon. Not wanting to feel left out of the weirdness they gave me a spare poncho to wear for the duration of the interview. If you look closely you'll catch a glimpse. What's funniest is that, contrary to appearances, they are very serious about what they want to achieve. And, while many are keen to point out the similarities to Fleetwood Mac and MGMT, their epic MOR musical efforts seem to be paying off their single "Walking on a Dream" has already notched up over 6 million plays on MySpace. Enjoy the trip...

There's something about the music these guys are making...it's magic!
Can we just go back to when this was new ........
' We Are The People' is the best pop song Ive heard in years, these dudes can write a hook!
Their music makes me happy and relaxed!
absolutely love these two , very addictive songs and videos , I hope they make millions , refreshing to see two people following their own dreams not being manufactured by a record company . Love the album as well . Keep up the good work guys , and please get over here to London ASAP

Forget the money, they made beautiful music. When money gets involved the magic disappears
Long live Emperor Steele and Lord Littlemore!
I want whatever they're on!

"as long as we have plenty of molly we will continue to make our music"
its been a week since i discover them and i have not been able to stop listening to them. just amazing. cannot have enough!!! and they sound so wise and powerful in this interview. just love them.
Yes, I agree they are similar to MGMT. Also, I think their sound is a lot like Phoenix. Listen to 1901.

Not even close...lol
Yes, look they are trying to hypnotize you. lol
they say "we wanna be free, we wanna have a good time and change the world"... then the interviewer says "even a phrase like that recalls something like David Koresh"... has the world really become that fucking cynical?
The show looks absolutely fantastic.You are a creative genius Emperor Steele.It's so great to see a musician bring the amazing look of colors love and peace all in one...Great EMPIRE OF THE SUN

Finally something great musically, visually, and lyrically. Something fresh and definitely one of the sounds I have been waiting for.

Haven't been impressed by a band and their music in a long time until I heard them.Love their music and eccentricity.FAN!
These guys dress eccentric but it's an image, just like Michael Jackson had. Doesn't mean they weird, in fact, I think they soo humble and just all round good fellows. luv all their music..quality.

@TPsynth i am totally agree i discovered only this week kend the song "We are the people" it is the best pop song i have heard for years... I was at first into DuranDuran/ Spandau ballet then Blur/ Manic Street preachers and and now i think i am becoming an Empire of the sun fan...
fresh
Have not heard a song from Empire of the Sun that I did not enjoy greatly. :] People have different taste, but these guys are amazing.
I saw them front row at Summer Fest, and when Luke got off the bus he smiled and waved at me and my friends, and during 'Walking On A Dream' during the concert he got off stage and was going down the front row and I got to hold his hand! He's such an awesome guy, I love Empire!!

I know this is a 5 year old comment, but can I ask what Summer Fest was it?
i love the music and the people though. 5 stars
mdma is a powerful substance as you can see
they'd finished their album before MGMT's came out, just so you know
XD ITS SOOO DAMN GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! i love this man just.
yeah really nice interview :)
I LOVE these guys
This project (EOTS) Nick and Luke did has been very creative. I like it. Last I read though, Nick (Lord Littlemore) had taken time off to do some work with P'Nau. Luke (Emperor Steel) has gone at solo. Everyone seems to like the team of them better than just one. Hope Nick returns soon.
How old is that interview? and dawn..he sings so hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh but he have such a deep voice! .....however...i love them! ♥
THEY ARE GONNA BRING BACK THE MUSIC!!!
good question.
The project is the band 'Empire of the Sun' both are from different bands, 'The Sleepy Jackson' and 'PNAU' so the project is this.
You have to love mushrooms man. Won’t trip without you.
Empire of the sun
I love them but they must be blazed 24/7
who's the guy setting on left, does he do the beats or something?

how come the projection isnt on luke?
These guys are cool.....
Why wonder about it? I just love the originality, the colours and the whole concept... It's art! Everybody looks alike these days, so I welcome someone who does something different. :-)
Haha well, we got there 5 hours earlier to get front row... And they parked the bus next to the stage. We were behind the fence (the fence in front of the stage) but we saw him walking through the bus and when he got out he smiled and waved at us!
omg i know. and everyone thought i was weird, glad to know im not the only one. haha
PEACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Yea Luke Steele (the dude with the white makeup) is from the sleepy jackson. David Koresh is from PNAU.
