High teas with Chris Colanna from the Bumblebeez
Creating a BUZZ for iiinside
By Hayley Adkins

Can you start us off with a short lil freestyle rap for today?
Keep it slow please I’ll need to scribe this!
Er, hello? Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello!
(Not the greatest if I’m honest but we can go with that)

Vegemite, Marmite or honey?
Umm, I like Vegemite on toast and I like honey, Marmite definitely not.

If you and Pia were to have an open mic competition, who would win?
We’ve had quite a few. I guess it depends on who is the most drunk. Pia writes hers down but when we are both drunk she is probably the best!

What does you mum think about you using rude words when you're rapping?
She’s alright about it I think! (laughs)

Does she sing along?
Sometimes! Nah I don’t think she can hear what we are really saying! She prefers more Frank Sinatra.

Favourite quote?
LIFE! Be in it!

Are you really still playing the 5 stringed guitar you stole from art school?
Yeah, definitely! I haven’t brought it out with me for tonight

How do you find working with a family member and are you more prone to fighting?
Sometimes we fight but its also amazing because we know each other so well. We make up quickly if we do!

Tell us about the craziest thing that has happened onstage?
God there has been quite a lot. Once I was doing a live show and I hit Pia over the head quite hard and knocked her out! Being stuck between 2 stages, electrocuted, umm, heaps of stuff!

What’s with the animal outfits?
We were just bored and we wanted to take some silly photos. I kind of regret it now!

Do they portray your personalities?
Maybe.

Are you really throwing that cat in the picture or is it superimposed!
Not it’s a real cat. It my friends, it got used to it. It used to like the attention!

What are most excited about this summer?
For your summer then, were not doing any UK festivals. For our summer the beach.

Can you sum up your sound for us in 3 words?
CRAZY, SEXY, GALATIC.
