Lacey- Upcoming tour dates?
Reid-Our US Tour dates are available at www.neversaydie.ca - we'll be on the road all year!
Lacey-How do you handle mistakes during performances?
Reid-I try really hard and practice till I can do the songs backwards and upside down... so on stage thankfully mistakes are rare... you just have to keep... playing... the song... no matter what.
Lacey- I noticed on the album "Destroy +rebuild" it's mostly about relationships, Is this through your own personal experiences?
Reid-I tend to embellish personal experiences. I find songs always turn out better when they come from a place of personal truth. Song smithing is good and all but if there isn't a personal truth or something to be an emotional pilot light in the song, it feels like something's missing.
Lacey-What's your top 4 in your playlist?
