An interview with The Triffids 2nd Jan 1983 Pat Monaghan, Peter Bonner and possibly Michael Shuttleworth interviewed Dave, Alsy, Marty and Rob on a hot day early in 1983. The interview was conducted in the band's van Happy Wheels outside the Shaftesbury Hotel. It is very illuminating in many ways and sheds light on a pivotal point in the career of The Triffids.
