This Vegas date is our last night, which is sad. It’s gone well and beyond our expectations. Then we were like “Yo, Seahaven!” They’re from our area, they’re the nicest kids, their brand new record came out the week before we went on tour. We knew Pianos Become the Teeth were going to be there right off the bat. Planning this was such a headache, that I’m almost trying to forget it. Circle Takes the Square was potentially going to be on the whole tour but they only ended up being able to do the first week. We’d considered Joyce Manor, Dangers, Algernon Cadwallader, Punch, or Commadre. This tour was kind of a nightmare to book because there were so many bands we wanted to have be a part of it, but everyone was waiting to hear about a tour, going to be on tour or already recording. They’re all so young and just killing it right now.įelipe: When did you guys approach Seahaven for this tour? There is something in the fucking water in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is killing it! Title Fight, Dead End Path, Tigers Jaw, Balance and Composure. Tom: There’s a pretty great scene in Pennsylvania right now. Also, if there are new bands in cities like Boston or Richmond, they’re going to get hyped quickly. LA is a city that gets a lot of attention. If a band in LA gets a lot of hype or attention, like Rotting Out at their height of everyone loving them, if we played a show with them, they’d be super supportive and be like “everyone should check out Touché Amoré!” and we do the same for them. Same with bands like Rotting Out or Alpha & Omega, they’re definitely way different styles of bands but we all play together and everyone supports each other. Obviously us and Joyce Manor don’t really sound alike but we can play a show together and it’s awesome. Joyce Manor is one of our best friend bands. How do you think you guys managed to stand out and gain such great national attention?įirst off, thanks! What makes LA great is that there are a lot of different kinds of bands and everyone supports each other. But I’m thinking about it.įelipe: It seems like the LA area has up-and-coming bands on every block. I looked at it and was like “I would fucking get this,” but I didn’t have time and also I shouldn’t spend money on that right now. I’m straight edge, so everything makes sense. They have a holiday logo of the dog wearing sunglasses and a Santa hat, with two candy canes Xed. I almost got a Raising Cane’s tattoo today. Right before this tour actually, a lady friend and I drove from LA to Vegas specifically to eat Raising Cane’s. They’re sprinkled across the South and there’s one in Boston and then one in Vegas. I like to eat Raising Cane’s because it’s my favorite place in the entire world and they don’t have them in California. It’s our fourth time being here, and every time has gotten better and better.įelipe: What are some of the things you like to do here in town? We didn’t know what to expect because the time before that was a really small show. It’s awesome! We don’t get to come out here too often but the last time we were here was crazy fun. Before their 12/14 show at Hypnotic Lounge with Pianos Become the Teeth, Seahaven and locals Caravels and Alaska, our very own Felipe Garcia and Tom Monahan sat down with Touché Amoré vocalist Jeremy Bolm to talk about his intense love for Raising Cane’s chicken, why the majority of Warped Tour makes him sick, and the prospect of playing gigantic European arenas on their upcoming tour with Rise Against.
