- Dan Parsons: Yes, we are Minor Gold, folks.

Thanks for coming and checking us out.

We really appreciate that.

We are coming to you from Queensland, Australia.

And we're a long way from home.

[audience applauding and cheering] But we feel right at home here in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Wis-cahn-sin.

[all laughing] - Tracy McNeil: And this is our very first U.S. festival ever.

So we're really proud.

[audience applauding and cheering] We've played together for many years in different things, but never written together, so we've got a long history of singing together and playing together, but writing is a very new thing for us, so Minor Gold's a very new project.

But we've got a long life of playing together, which kinda makes it easier.

- And the writing, the writing is the most important thing to us.

Like, guitar is cool, singing is cool, but, like, the song is the most important thing.

It's like, you know, 50/50.

But, like, coming to a festival like this, like, every night seems to kind of be like, just like a treasure.

People are, like, up for it and they just give you that energy back.

Yeah, love it.

- Dan: Stoked.
