For ACL Fest 2017, we decided to take artist's minds off of music for a little while.





In fact, we spent much of the first weekend of ACL Fest asking bands all manner of unexpected questions that had nothing to do with why they were at the festival. We think it worked out well.





Read our full recap from ACL Fest 2017 Weekend One here.

















Do512: Could you tell me your first memory of the Internet?

Milky Chance:





(Clemens) Back in the days when I was around eleven or twelve years old, my mom brought home a modem and installed it with our old computer. I remember the sound when we would login, it took you 10 minutes and then you were logged in.





Do you remember your screen name?

Milky Chance:





(Phillipp) We had ICQ. (Imitates ICQ chat noise) That was probably the first thing I ever did with the Internet, chatting. Sometimes even with your neighbor.





Describe for me your favorite shirt?

Milky Chance:





(P) Well I just lost a bet because on tour we often play Uno and we play with bets so the loser has to do something. So our photographer had to buy an outfit for me that I have to wear on stage. He bought a Britney Spears shirt and I actually really like it. It's very comfy, and Britney, ya know, she's cool.













What would this chapter of the Milky Chance biography be called?

Milky Chance:





(P) Well we called it Blossom because we called our album that, and it's still very how we feel. We're still in the beginnings of our twenties and we've got the great chance to do all this traveling, playing music, meeting great people and enjoying our families. It feels like a spring of life.







What is something you've lost interest in those you gotten older?

Milky Chance:





(C) Playing computer games.

(P) We both once played World of Warcraft, we were those nerds.

(C) I played a lot of Need for Speed, Counter-Strike, Age of Empires. The Sims, but only building the houses because I felt almost like an architect. After awhile you just kind of realize it's kind of a waste of time.
