Humans of Wellington - IGLOO Yes, Humans of Wellington is back, yet again. Considering that the U6th are leaving on such short notice, and not in the manner by which they had planned to, us Wellingtonian Editors have decided to devote this edition’s spotlight to a group of U6th musicians: ‘Igloo.’ The band - consisting of Freddy Gilmore (Hg), Tom Symonds (Bn), Alfie Seymore (H), and Tommy Morris (L) - is a college favourite, and it would be a shame not to highlight them as they leave campus and take their popular music with them. They’ve answered a few questions for us, and their true colours and behind-the-scenes group dynamic certainly shines through… just take a look for yourself, you’ll see.
Freddy: How, and when, did you decide to form the band? - We were drawn together due to our shared interest in obscure and underground music like Imagine Dragons Tom: How did you come up with the name of the band and the design of your album covers? - The name Igloo came from Fred’s friend’s mum or something like that, and the album art is completely plagiarised from popular Wellington artist, Millie Griffiths, who has never been credited. Tommy: Why is the name of your band ‘Igloo’ but your Instagram name ‘experimental squirrel’? - What? We have Instagram? Tommy: In the group, who would you say: A: Is the joker? - Me B: Is the most disruptive? - Tom C: Is the leader? - Me D: Has the worst lid? - The short one. I can’t remember his name?
