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. ∎

*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
