For the last few weeks, what's inside has been a lot more than just ham. It's been everybody! (sorry.) One band that seem to be 'coping' with it all well is those lovable scamps
FEET, keeping us all entertained with tales from their exclusive London hideaway on their Daily Lockdown Diary. Now to add to the fun, they're rolling out 'Live At The FEET Flat', a weekly series of stripped-back and chilled sessions performed, well, live at the FEET flat. Dork caught up with singer George to find out more…
Hey! How are you guys? How's lockdown been?
Yeah, good. I mean, productive to an extent.
You look like you've been up to loads.
Yeah, the house is great. We've got like a little recording demo set up. And Muswell Hill's pretty nice anyway, we're not complaining. We're watching The Sopranos, that's like our nice little routine at night.
How's everyone coped?
We've done all right to be fair. I think I was getting a little jittery last week, just that kind of routine gets to you. Days become weeks. I guess we'd stay up later and then wake up later and before you know it, it's light when you're going to bed and dark when you're waking up. It's strange.
Any crazy lockdown dreams yet?
They've all been pretty mental, I think. Callum said he had one the other day where… I think he might have killed me in his dream? He pushed me down the stairs in the flat.
That's very specific.
I'm hoping that it's not a consistent occurring dream. I'm keeping an eye out now, don't you worry. (laughs)
What are the sleeping arrangements like, five of you in a 3-bed must be a bit much?
Yeah. I share with Ben. Callum and Harry share, and then Oli's got his own little room. It kind of worked out best for me and Ben. I went into Rains and Harry's room a few days ago, and found they didn't have a light bulb and it hasn't for about a month. They couldn't be arsed to fix it.
So they're just sitting in darkness? No wonder there are murderous thoughts.
Yeah. I could hear the hairdryer going the other day, and I peered into the room. Pitch black. Harry's in bed, and Callum is completely naked just hair-drying. Drying his hair in complete darkness. I couldn't see anything.
Probably for the best to be fair. Pivoting away from naked guitarists as fast as possible, are you dabbling with the Joe Wicks workout or anything?
Unfortunately not, but I do Yoga With Adriene. Although I have heard that she's got a big competitor on Youtube, it's like a yoga Godfather scenario. We've done a couple of group yoga sessions in the morning, which is good.
Have you been getting involved with any pub quiz nights?
Yeah, we did one the other day. The quiz buzz has probably died down for a little while, that's a good thing. There's only so much general knowledge you can take, I guess.
What would be your specialist subject?
I quite like the jumbled up words. All the verbal reasoning stuff and the picture rounds.
