How many times a week do you guys practice before a tour?
A
We usually jam the songs by themselves a few times a day, then the full set a few times a week in the 2 weeks prior - just to get back in "tour shape" - gotta get the wrists and lungs up to speed. Playing rock n' roll is as much about the muscles and strength as it is about knowing the parts :) And we always make sure to get super comfy with our parts separately before jamming with the full band cause you don't wanna waste anyone's time haha! You know you're doing it right when you start day-dreaming during songs at practice... it means you know the song well enough to ALMOST be on autopilot.
When you next come to the uk will it be your tour or will you be supporting?
A
Still figuring that out! Aiming for later in 2017!
Will you be touring Ireland for a full tour as I feel it would be awesome xD
A
We'll get back there eventually ;)
A
Ha! We're TERRIBLE gamblers - we'd lose ALL the tour money haha!
When are you coming back to play Seattle, WA? Sadly I missed the last show
A
Maybe later in the year! Just hoping it fits into the tour routing. We LOVE Seattle!!
