I caught up with Kane Dennelly from 19 Twenty after seeing the band live at The Gov. A friend told me about their set at Mundi Mundi and said I had to go see them with her and she was right. They storm the stage like a freight train, with Johnny thumping away on the upright bass, Jeremy driving it all on drums, and Kane out front leading the charge in pure, rowdy, joyful chaos.

We talk about the thrill of live shows and how sometimes when things go wrong, they can turn out so right, like at Mundi Mundi, when their instruments didn’t even arrive, but they still pulled off one of the most unforgettable sets of the festival.

Kane also shares stories from life on the road, the tenth anniversary of their crowd favourite HIPS, and how the band keeps that spark alive after so many gigs and festivals.

If you haven’t seen them yet, head over to 19twentymusic.com and check out where they’re playing next. Then come back and have a listen. It’s a fun, rowdy chat full of laughs, stories, and the kind of onstage magic only 19 Twenty can bring.
