Xfm Meets The Wombats

added 24 November 2008 at 16.38

Liverpool’s dearest marsupials reveal all about their forthcoming Christmas single, plans for 2009 and why they'd never do ‘Wombats Karaoke’...

What a year it’s been for The Wombats. Countless headline tours, one chart-pasting debut album and to cap it all off, a Christmas single featuring an introduction by the one and only Les Dennis.

Listen again to Xfm’s exclusive interview with The Wombats, as Alex Zane sits down with singer Murph to get to the bottom of all things Christmas…

What are The Wombats doing releasing a Christmas single?
“It’s kind of a poke at Christmas… it’s just another day isn’t it?” [Listen To The Answer]

What are your favourite Christmas songs?
“I do actually like ‘Silent Night’. What else is there?” [Listen To The Answer]

What if you had to sing one Christmas Karoake song?
“Good King Wenceslas. I’d never sing our own song!” [Listen To The Answer]

You’ve got a new single, ‘My Circuit Board City’, coming out next year. What it’s about?
“I wouldn’t use the word ‘mature’ because that’s automatically off-putting. Darker maybe.” [Listen To The Answer]
