Offset Interviews: Atari Teenage RiotAlec, you're about to go onstage.

Yeah in like five to ten minutes. Caribou have overdrawn their stage time with some super long songs... I think we've got to shorten our set!

Is there going to be a riot tonight?

It really depends you know, if we want one? We have this red button on the machine, and if we press it, the place goes crazy. But it's such a friendly audience here, it's like we're playing for our friends. It's not like these over-commercialised festivals. So will there be a riot? Maybe!

So Offset and Atari Teenage Riot are going to go well together?

I hope so - maybe it'll be a really harmonic show with everyone together.

Well it's been a long time since we've seen you and lots of people are curious as to what you're about.

Ah really? I don't believe that! Atari Teenage Riot always sounds the same. It's just noise and a drum beat!

Come on, you're going to be the fireworks at the end of the night!

Well, let's see!
