00:00Hello you're watching Anime, I'm Jordan Bassett and we're here with the brilliant Confidence

00:09Man.

00:10What's up?

00:11Howdy do.

00:12Your 2022 set here was sort of, it kind of broke you through to a lot of new people I

00:18think.

00:19It was quite a big deal.

00:20What was it like returning to the scene of the crime?

00:23I mean it was like high pressure and I suppose we were just like how can we top something

00:27like that and the way you top something like that is you just, after that set you get a

00:31whole bunch more money and you spend all the money and then you just learn how to do a

00:35whole bunch of flips and that's what we did.

00:37Yeah just do some flips, people love flips so yeah we learnt some flips and yeah it seemed

00:42to work pretty good.

00:43I heard you guys are living in London now, what's the best night out in London?

00:47Well I mean like most of our nights out have been like harassing our friends with our demos

00:52most of the time, like you know like enticing people over to our house.

00:56Yeah we lure them in and then we start playing demos and then we don't let them leave for

01:00about three or four hours.

01:02Because all of us live together now so it's kind of like this weird con man house that

01:05like people come in and they never leave.

01:07Right okay yeah, so is this the demo for your upcoming new album?

01:13Yeah so I mean they've heard everything a million times, I reckon they're probably sicker

01:16of it than we are.

01:17Oh yeah, they're way sick of it.

01:18What else can you tell us about the record, tell us the title and how it's different from

01:25the previous Confidence Man records.

01:26So like we set out to write this record where like we were like alright we figured out the

01:31best way for us to write music together is to be just like completely cooked and so what

01:35we did with this record was we were like no writing at all sober, like only wasted.

01:40And so like we'd go to Cafe Cecilia's like near our studio, get like absolutely wasted

01:45then we'd go to our studio just in London Fields and then it would pretty much be from

01:50like 4pm till like 10am and that was the only way we wrote the record this time.

01:54I suppose like that's why the album's called 3am La La La's because the hot spot was 3am

01:59and post 3am it slowly deteriorated.
