Also all the video plus unreleased B-sides are added. What can people expect to get out of the new package?ĮA: It has the regular Tri-Polar album plus the Polar Opposite which is our unplugged versions of eight songs off Tri-Polar. MI: Tell me about the new Tri-Polar Deluxe release. You never really know how the crowd will react, and that in itself is a surprise every time. MI: Out of all the big stages you’ve played over your career, what makes the festival scene such as Summerfest different?ĮA: The energy is raw and the vibe is exciting. We stood up on the tables and chairs that were there to catch a view, and we hoped one day that would be us up there.

Are there any cool stories or things you remember about it that you can share?ĮA: I remember seeing Paramore a couple years ago, and the crowd was huge. MI: This won’t be your first time at Summerfest. We can’t wait to check out the artists on this year’s lineup.

What’s it like to be able to play the at world’s largest music festival and play on the same stage as some of music’s most talented musicians?Įmma Anzai: It’s pretty surreal and I don’t think it’ll ever stop being that way for us. Maximum Ink: You guys are slated to play Summerfest on July 6. Maximum Ink spoke with Emma about what an honor it is to play Summerfest, her past experiences there, and what’s next for the Australian rock ‘n’ rollers. This idea is no different for Emma Anzai of Sick Puppies. The biggest compliment must be that every musician we seem to talk to views playing Summerfest as one of the highest honors that a band can receive. Yes, this is a huge feat considering the size of the festivals in Europe, but it’s still not the biggest compliment. Perhaps the biggest compliment that you can pay to a festival such as Summerfest isn’t mentioning that it’s the largest music festival in the entire world.
