Are you guys currently writing?
I strum a bit, I hum a bit. That's what I do. Strum and hum. But, I
don't seriously write when I'm on tour. I may come up with some fairly
simple ideas and record them on an iPhone or something. But I usually
throw them away. They aren't good enough.
I think it's important to be in a peaceful place. Not necessarily
mentally, but physically. So I like to work on things back home where I
have musically gear and can make demo and try arrangements. I think that
tour is a place where you should be absorbing the culture and all the
information. Read books, meet new people, see new cities and taste new
foods. Get to know different cultures.
I think that's very important when writing songs too, because that's
all the info that goes into making the music anyways is life.
How is touring in the US different from Europe?
That remains to be seen. We haven't toured here in so long...I think the
last time was in 2010. We had to take a break because our drummer had
some problems with his hand and that took nearly a year.
I think the main difference at the end of the day is the driving
distance. This country is so vast. You know, in Europe, or in England,
the distance between cities is maximum 300 miles. And here you drive
every day and every night, easily, 600-800 miles. You see the country
from a different perspective then maybe a tourist might. We see the
great skies.
And the audiences are different too, but that differs from state to
state as well, which is similar to Europe. Some sing along more, some
dance more... Wouldn't it be terrible if we knew that the best audience
was in spot X and we didn't go anywhere else?
Is there a place you would like to spend more time in during you time in the U.S.?
Well, we're missing a lot of the major places. It would be lovely to
spend a day in Chicago. We have a day off in Denver I think. We actually
had a day off in Phoenix the tour before. It was great just to walk
around and absorb the vibe of the city. I also like Seattle, because it
reminds me of where I come from, Helsinki. Windy and rainy. And great
food.
