'GOOD LIFE' has a really infectious, carefree 90s/2000s pop-rock feel. What was the starting point for the song?

What if the secret to a good life is actually pretty simple? Good friends, plenty of laughs, a little dancing and absolutely no need to check your bank balance. That is the wonderfully uncomplicated idea behind Phil and The Blanks’ latest single, “GOOD LIFE”, featuring Gold Coast artist Bella Amor.

With their latest single, THE KETAMINES, the band dive headfirst into another absurd tale, pairing a chaotic techno-rock soundtrack with a story of ego, excess and spectacularly bad decisions. They discuss the song's origins, the role humour plays in their songwriting, building an audience on their own terms, and why they're focused on creating an entertainment brand rather than chasing industry approval.
