Henry Pulp:
Our main big travelling stints were on night trains between
Moscow and St Petersburg, but it felt like a scene from the movies so
it didn’t get tedious. We’ve come back from that trip stronger than ever;
everyone’s that little bit more switched on because we’ve had a taste of
something every musician longs for, some form of international break.
Natalie McCool: While we were waiting in Moscow for
the night train, an older couple started talking to me; they looked
tough as old boots. I was terrified at first but after having some
goulash I calmed down a bit. We didn't really understand each other
and there was a lot of pointing and eyebrow twitching going on,
but just looking at them, for me, they epitomised Russia. They had
clearly been through a lot.
Henry Pulp: Being forced to spend so much time together
in close proximity takes a band to a whole new level. The bond that
grows is immeasurable, especially for a band of our size. You feel
like you’re part of the The Gramercy Riffs; you feel uniformed. A total
connection is built as soon as you step off the plane.
Natalie McCool: The last night at Krizis Zhanra in Moscow
was actually amazing; it was like Bumper circa 2006. We were headbanging to Jet on the dancefloor; I started a conga line with a guy in
a huge white fur jacket... you get the idea. Also, I was getting ready
backstage and the DJ started playing From Nowhere by Dan Croll – a little
taste of home there!
