Beginnings or cycles,
it's your decision but it seems fitting that they're on a tour
which includes the majority if not all the Barfly venues, stopping
in at other cities and towns such as Milton Keynes along the
way.
"The fact that we can get to tour on it's own is brilliant,"
explains Alexei. "This is going to be the first organised
tour. We did a tour at the start of the year and it was more
like playing somewhere in London, then going somewhere else
the next night and then the next night playing somewhere else
in London."
These are events that often occur for most bands that are driven
and keen to persevere to accomplish their own self targets.
"We started off saying yes to everybody who wanted us to
come and play," admits Alexei.
Jokes aside about the size of the band's carbon feet, the three-piece
don’t denounce these decisions as mistakes but more as
lessons.
"We've definitely experienced the highs and lows,"
states Alexei.
They've learnt to cope with the arrogance of other billed bands
on the night, lies fed by promoters to attract the band or from
other bands about what to expect from promoters and their events.
"We've played a lot of venues and with a lot of bands that
aren't all that," states Kelly.
"Some things you don't find out until you get to a venue,"
explains Alexei. "Like everyone has got a Myspace account
and they put out bulletins frequently so it looks like there's
probably going to be a few people there. But you're just going
to have to go and see for yourself." >> |
