01:05after every song today tu gusta tu gusta tu gusta si si si si we keep singing Feliz Navidad we've

01:24Gasolina
01:25that's enough for us man we just stimmed it Donde esta la fiesta that's a good one yeah yeah keep
01:32that in your back pocket yeah sweet
01:33well it's right here but it's been a few months since we last spoke how's things been it's been good
01:40man yeah really good we dropped our EP seemed good obviously we spoke about that with you last time we
01:46saw you and now we've just been yeah touring over the summer and look forward to doing more festivals how
01:51summer how are you finding the festival circuit
01:54it's good man I mean we've been in America doing festivals so you know we did Great Escape in Bryan
02:00that's the only sort of one we've done I think in the UK UK yeah so well no we did
02:03the Neighbourhood Weekender as well yeah but then we basically flew off to America we played the Governor's Ball Bonnaroo
02:08Warped Tour and then yeah got a few more in England this summer like over the next month but yeah
02:15flying back to America the end of the month this month
02:17so you bonded with a lot of bands on the scene remember we spoke before and you said um that
02:21you guys kind of felt quite separate from everything due to the kind of music you make and not being
02:25part of any scene do you feel like we're so left out yeah we're left out man
02:30remember those little at my old school like when in kindergarten we used to have those little like friendship bus
02:36stop things
02:38aww
02:38I feel like they need to make a band one of them we don't bite come talk to us please
02:43guys
02:44but you bonded with bands on the circuit you feel like you've become a part of a community now
02:47no of course man I mean you know we've played with enough bands that when we were at Great Escape
02:50was we
02:51we banded with bands
02:53when we were at Great Escape was we hung around with a lot of bands that played with us there
02:56you know the guys that died twice etc
02:58and then you know based on people we know in the industry mutual friends like through guys like Bleach and
03:03all those who are on the way up big time as well so you know
03:05we know them pretty well
03:07not know them pretty well but we are familiar with them and we like their tunes and we like what
03:11they're doing
03:12that's what was nice about doing America though was like the UK circuit is quite self-contained until you go
03:18out over there
03:19so it's nice to actually be on the American circuit and maybe meet people that you wouldn't
03:24yeah like Beck Lowder and all them like
03:26yeah yeah
03:27they supported us
03:28so Beck supported us on the last tour and it's people that you wouldn't necessarily meet
03:33oh nice
03:33on the UK circuit right now
03:35but that was really cool to do that
03:37you got any friends here today or just hanging around by the bins waiting to see Dave Grohl
