Just two weeks after performing in their city, FINNEAS has pondered why Brisbane residents “hate their own city” and admitted that he finds it confusing.

In an interview with Buzzfeed Australia, the older brother of American popstar Billie Eilish spoke about the moment he was booed after mentioning that he’d visited the pool at Southbank.

“The people in Brisbane hate the city of Brisbane, and I don’t understand what the fuss is all about; I’ve had a great time,” he said.

“We went to this place in Brisbane called South Bank, which has this, like, big public pool, and I told the guys in the band, I was like, I’m going to bring it up at the show tomorrow, and they’re going to boo.

“And they did.”

The 27-year-old shared that he thinks it’s “silly” for locals to “boo something awesome about your own city”.

While on the topic, FINNEAS admitted that Brisbane wasn’t his favourite Aussie city.

“I’m not on the hate train, but I don’t know if I can say it’s my favourite city in Australia,” he said.

“I also like it here in Sydney, I also like it in Melbourne, I like it in Adelaide. I’ve got no problem with Australia, I think it’s a great, great place.”
