How do you get to the gig?
We all drive, we just meet each other there
Do you carpool? Is there someone who is the “driver” of the band?
Sometimes me (Dan) and Jonny will as we live in the same village
How early do you need to get to the gig?
We’re usually asked to arrive a few hours before just get sound checked and everyone organised
When there is more than 1 band playing, how does everyone get set up and soundchecked? Is there a specific order to everything?
No not really, we let the sound engineer do their thing, we play with In ear monitors so our mixes always stay the same in our ears
What do you do once you have done the soundcheck?
We usually scope out the area and go and have some food and maybe a beer
Do you have any rituals before going on stage?
Not really, we just plug in and play
What are you mainly thinking about while you are on stage?
I’m (Dan) just focusing on my voice and trying not to get in anyone’s way
What’s the first thing you do when you have finished your set?
We get our gear off the stage and then Go outside to get some air as we’re all really sweaty
What do you do next?
We either stay around to watch the next band and maybe have a beer
How do you end the night?
We usually just reflect on our performance and arrange to meet up again afterwards, but if we’re staying over in that town or city we’ll find a bar to chill out in
