We're not sure what the (staff) numbers would be.
It's better for the listener to interpret their own meanings to the music.
Big shows are more like events and small shows are more like traditional gigs.
The Millennium Stadium thing was for the Tsunami concert. It was a thing that I think every band in the country would have liked to be a part of at the time that it happened.
Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman came to see our show, We all had a drink before they set off on their travels, and we kept in touch.
I like to open for a band as it brings on sort of a challenge and it makes things more interesting. It reminds me of when we were just starting out because we would open for other bands in the beginning.
Whether I'm telling stories in songs or if directing is the next step, being a storyteller is what I like doing.
We changed every lead in our whole system, and to this day we still don't really know why it did it. We think wires were touching and faulting. That was it really, but it didn't make it any easier.
