Radio Freccia Session 6th November 2019

This was the band's second radio engagement today on the home turf of the I.P.K.

The setup here was a little strange, with the band in a small almost warehouse-like space with the DJ positioned on a podium in front of a large video screen. It meant that even when they were arriving you could see them walking in and out of shot. I've left that footage in because, well...just because. There are those of us who like Editors, and there are those of us whose internal organs go into spasm if we feel like we missed something they're connected to. Take some time, think it over, and then decide which side you belong to.

I don't know how it felt for the participants but it had a bit of a cold vibe about it, which if we were looking for a song title is strangely appropriate.

Things began with an interview, and unfortunately anybody who is talking to the band at this stage is going to suffer from a peculiar syndrome that comes with the amount of media they've already done; most of the more obvious have already been asked. It felt like the DJ was aware of this, asking  them about their Salvation beer and trying to get to the bottom of why Mr Lockey likes to travel alone. He also asks them about the upcoming tour, and Tom lets slip that they're possibly looking to doing another one of their rare all-acoustic shows in the future. Interesting stuff.

The majority of the early footage is in Italian dialogue, but once Tom, Justin and Elliott are formally introduced there's a translation from the host. Enjoy ;)
