James Milne (Lawrence Arabia) and Sam Scott (The Phoenix Foundation) have a history that dates back to the carefree days of their twenties. Enamored by one another’s art and bands, a long and fruitful friendship followed.
They catch up in James’ lounge for a cuppa to talk about Dad-musician life; the good ol’ days of herbal highs; and whether any of the New Zealand music community would avoid death if they were forced to play Survivor.
