THEGAYUK WINTER 13 /14 Issue 1 What about the Growl in Pretty Woman – natural born talent or something Lachie’s been working on for a while? Lachie who is originally from Manly in Australia, sings bass in the group and speaks with an ease and inviting confidence... Lachie: Humm… I’ve always had that, it’s fortunate I guess. Darren: When we did Pretty Woman on This Morning the other day, we got a few tweets. I think a few ladies enjoyed that! ! ! ! ! **Lachie Growls live in the studio** Timmy: Ah Lachie, I think it’s just lovely…. Who’d win in a Boy/Man band off? The Overtones Vs. Union J? Timmy: They’re not a man band!!! Darren: Come on, put us up against someone like Blake or someone our own age! ! ! Ok, The Overtones against The Wanted? All: ooooooooo Lachie: We charted above The Wanted…. Darren: They are successful internationally, and we do inspire to do that, we’re not slagging them off, but to enter the charts against someone like that is amazing for us. It’s an achievement for us! Lachie: There was a point when we were looking at the Amazon chart and we were at Number 3 and that was very exciting, but then at number 2 was the Disney Princess Compilation, but then we went to number 1. Timmy: (tongue in cheek) Yeah F**k you Disney Princesses! ! ! If you could be another Overtone for the day which one would you be? Darren: Mike! I’d love to have that hair for a day... Mark: Really? Darren: I’d have him do it all up, and then I’ll turn into him when it’s all done. It’s a work of art. Timmy: I’d like to be Lachie for a day, because I sing all the high bits and would really like to know, to experience, what it would be like to hit those low notes. Darren: You’d sh*t yourself every time you spoke! Mark: I’ll be Darren for the day. Darren’s an avid gym goer, he’d be at the gym 24/7 if he could. I could pop down to Vauxhall, pop me top off – and dance around. Lachie: I’d be Darren and just take all my clothes off. ∎ ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! TIMMY: ! ! ! It’s 2013 and ! ! we’re so ! ! comfortable in ! ! ! our workplace. ! ! To be who we ! ! ! are. We’re never ! ! told to be ! ! ! anything else ! ! but ourselves ! ! ! and I’m very ! ! proud of that. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! *ah yes the gayest interview claim… Well on the day I met The Overtones, Mike had put his back out and couldn’t make it to the studio - meaning out of the 4 in the room 3 were gay, So technically it’s actually true… ! The Overtones are on tour UK wide in Feb & March 2014, and Saturday Night At The Movies is out now on Parlophone ! Visit www.theovertones.tv for tour dates 26
