“I am not much of a festival visitor. There are just too many people and I don’t like being in a crowd. Maybe I would visit something as big as Glastonbury once, I don’t know. But I love to play at festivals, especially in Europe. There are so many nice people there and the vibe is really open, there are less rules. People don’t really care about where you go or eat your beverage or anything. It just feels really open and save.”

“I have good memories about Down The Rabbit Hole, that is the festial at the lake right? Beautiful place and very nice people. I have met a lot of fans over there. The backstage is not very different than festivals in the USA, that really differs from time to time. At one festival all we got were boiled hotdogs, and at other places the catering is really good. It comes and it goes.”

“We did a lot of our best shows when we were supporting Mumford and Sons on tour. Our first album was only a year old and we were not used to playing such huge crowds. It was also really good for us. We made a lot of new fans and learned a lot. Sometimes we speak to people who have first seen us during that tour and are still following us and what we do.”

“But the guys (Mumford and Sons, red.) were the ones that made is special. There was a close connection between us all. At the end of every night they would get us on stage to play one or two songs with them, most of the time a cover, it made us really feel part of the tour.”

“We didn’t have a lot of reviews about the new album. But what I see and a lot of people tell me is that the written press in North America is dead. Much of the outlets once there are gone. It is a whole different ballgame now. It is mostly about Spotify, Social Media and radio nowadays. And even radio is getting less important.”

“You have some websites or magazines that write about music, but there aren’t many. And even when they write an article about Half Moon Run, for example, it is gone within a day. It is only very short and quickly gone. Nothing lasts more than a day nowadays.”
