Blimey! This interview has surfaced at a rather weird time, hasn't it? The band are on hiatus making preparations for E6 and yet this clip appeared today on the Hot Press website, and features a chat with Tom and Elliott backstage at their Electric Picnic show on the 4th September. Included are their experiences of playing in Russia at Maxidrom, which was somewhat surreal to say the least. There's also discussion of musical epiphany moments, with Tom's being seeing Radiohead at Glastonbury 1997 while Elliott chooses seeing Michael Jackson live. There's also a reference to Tom's vocal range, something that gains him a round of applause and another moment of social awkwardness that I'm certain he's very grateful for. If that wasn't enough, there's more references to the messy end of Editors Mark 1 to contend with too.
Before I go, watch Mr Smith react to the assertion that the Red Hot Chili Peppers supported them recently. The satisfaction is palpable. Enjoy the weirdly late chat ;)
brought to you with lots and lots of lemming-love :) x
