16 February 2023 | 3:26 pm | Staff Writer

The legends from CIVIC and Party Dozen delve into chariots, 'Boogie Nights', and high-risk mini golf ahead of their gig at OK Motels Pool Party in Charlton this weekend.

CIVIC asks Party Dozen...

What are you guys gonna drive to Charlton? Tell us about your chariot.

Usually, we get some kind of small hire car, sometimes electric ones, but ONLY if they have sport mode. We would have been riding in our manager's Volvo wagon but apparently, he wrote it off last month so we’ll be riding in a Hyundai i30. I just asked him; yes it does have sport mode. Probably gonna listen to old country and western all the way in.

If you could build a mini golf joint with endless cash, what theme would it be?

Maybe some kind of high-risk high-reward type system. If you make par nothing happens. If you birdie, you get cash money. But if you bogey you are physically harmed.

Snickers or Mars?

Snickers because nuts.

There is a kick-on at the pool scene from Boogie Nights, who do you take? Dead or Alive.

I’d take the Robin Williams Genie from Aladdin, Albert Hoffman (the inventor of LSD), The cast of Police Academy, and Ching Shih - the most successful pirate lord in history.

What's your Maccas go to?

Kirsty: Cheeseburger meal, with choccy shake and 6 nuggs.

Jono: Large quarter pounder meal, with water and 6 nuggs (sweet & sour sauce of course).

Top 5 drinks alcoholic or not, discontinued or current. 

1. Coffee

2. Ice-cold carbonated water

3. Used to get this juice back in the day we used to call ‘Jesus Juice’. It was like mango, banana and apple or something like that. Weird combo but my god it was good.

4. Whiskey highball

5. Club Mate

Party Dozen asks CIVIC...

Got any new music recommendations you’ve been listening to lately?

Informant HC.

Do you have any guitar pedals or gear you couldn’t live without?

I just bought a Tambo. I'm gonna cherish that. 

Is there anything you wouldn’t do for love?

I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that. No seriously, I'd do most things. I'm a romantic.

Who’s the greatest Australian band to have ever existed?

Straight Jacket Nation.

Do you love burritos as much as we do? What is your burrito order?

Umm yes! Extra cheese, hot as you can get it.
