The Overtones on dating apps, gay marriage and fake tan disasters
By Nick Bond
Attitude’s new Style Issue includes a five-page special with surely Britain’s most stylish ‘manband’, The Overtones.
Alongside a stylish shoot of the gents looking handsome in (and out) of their suits, they tell Attitude their thoughts on everything from same-sex marriage to fake tan disasters.
While three of The Overtones – Mark, Timmy and Lachie – are gay, they each have differing levels of enthusiasm when asked if they’re keen to get married.
“My jury is out over my personal thoughts about marriage,” Lachie says. “I can be a little, er, stubborn.”
Mark agrees, saying, “I’m not sure how I feel about marriage in general, given the statistics. Never say never, though. I always love a good party!”
Timmy, however, is more open to the idea. “I have friends who have got married, adopted kids, the lot. I love chatting to them about their journeys. Going back just a few years, things were so different.”
Elsewhere, the boys give their opinion on gay dating apps (The verdict? “I think it’s not about how you meet the love of your life. Just that you meet them,” says Mark), and Lachie shares his biggest tanning disaster:
“I had to get a full body spray tan for a naked shoot and I had it done in town on a stupidly hot day then jumped straight back on a roasting tube train afterwards. I had rivulets of brown streaming down every part of my body.”
Now there’s a mental image for the fans.
