the Coachella tour opener

Coachella was our first show and it was a bit of a rehearsal. We were a bit wooden and nervous and I think we are more flexible now. We have rehearsed more songs now so every show is different. We can be calm and poetic and then we can be hooligans or we can do a mix of the two.

Coachella was probably a hooligan show because we were playing really late and it’s hard at a festival to play a lot of calm songs because people have been there a long time and the concentration is different so you end up playing a lot of hooligan songs.
