Check out this little chestnut. AFL player Jay Van Berlo from Fremantle Dockers mentioned The Chemist front-man Ben Witt as his favourite musician recently in this video.

Upon our arrival to our home state, we were showered with gifts of profanities from all the people we had outstanding debts with since we skipped the State back in June. So on a river of cuss words, we walk on swear word water to Fremantle's Newport with none other than our good friends, The Panda Band. The Panda Band is a band i highly recommend you check out. A night inside the skull of the Amplifier bar proceeded with The Sun Orchestra & Split Seconds. Ye old stomping ground provided comfort-ability, Ye old stomping ground provided familiar faces & Ye old stomping ground provided Gin. So on a river of gin we sailed to Margaret River on a boat made from an acoustic guitar (we made a trade with that Josh Pyke guy).... again with the sun orchestra lads we burnt into the night meeting some nice people and talking about days of old and days of new and days of blue.
