First times, last times with pillow pro

First time you played a gig? Christobel Elliot: With Pillow Pro, at the Old Bar in Melbourne in 2015. We were so nervous and shy, but the room was packed with all our friends and people that supported us. It was the best feeling! Last time you felt superinspired? CE: Last weekend we filmed a music video for our next release, “Hurricane”, in an incredible modernist mansion. As we went on, the shots got more and more beautiful and interesting, and it got us very inspired and excited. First time you set eyes on each other? Sophie Millis: At a music festival from afar when we were 18, but we properly met and became close a few years later when we were both in London. Last time you did something creative that wasn’t music? CE: I do a lot of hand-embroidery around themes of family and my mixed race background. I love how slow and relaxing it is to focus on small areas – you can sit and meditate on the subject for a long time. SM: I study design, so I’m always making garments and sculptures based on spatial experiences. It crosses over sometimes when we design outfits and shoots for Pillow Pro. First time you felt like a real-deal adult? CE: I’ve been through a lot of things where I’ve felt like the ‘adult’ in certain situations, but I don’t really consider myself a ‘real-deal adult’ because that sounds like a bit of a trap. However, the first time I felt really on my own and independent was when I moved overseas at 18. Last time you cooked something you were really proud of? CE: The banana cake with lemon icing I made for Soph’s birthday. I wasn’t really sure about it, but everyone seemed to love it! SM: When I make delicious vegan food that doesn’t make me miss cheese at all!
