working people there . Certainly , Chicago house music made its way to Glasgow and there was a big connection there between Glasgow and Chicago . It reminds me of Glasgow where Edinburgh gets the castle and the capital and it ' s pretty fucking gorgeous . And Glasgow has always been this slightly dirtier , grimier , dirt under the fingernails type town . And I mean this
with the greatest respect , but I do picture Chicago a bit more like Glasgow . A little bit more dirt under the fingernails , but a little more interesting and a bit more of a story to tell .
IE : I can see that . There ’ s definitely a lot of beautiful sights in Chicago , but we have a lot of hard-working people here . Is there anything you ’ re looking forward to doing when you arrive in the city ? JJ : It ' s just that memory of when we went to get a pizza . We ' re looking at this pizza and we ' re like it ' s only four slices . I ' ll have two ! We only had one slice each and we were all completely fucking done in . We ' re like that ' s just wrong ! We ' re professional pizza eaters ! So , we went to a bar , we got drunk , we came home . And then we ' re heating this slice of pizza in the microwave determined to try and get this pizza finished . I think we even had a go at it the next day . It ' s a bit embarrassing , but basically trying to eat a whole pizza will be quite a challenge . I ' d be quite happy with that . There ' s great history and culture in Chicago and unfortunately , we haven ' t had time to see it . We ' ve played in your city eight times ; I ’ ve probably spent two nights there . I don ' t mind doing
tourist things , but then it ' s the other wee things like discovering a pub or a market or having a chat with somebody in a taxi . Those wee moments I quite like . You remember that guy for the rest of your life . IE : What are you most excited about your big return to North America ? JJ : Obviously playing our music to people . We ' re really proud of the music we ' ve made over the last few years , and it doesn ' t properly exist until you play it in front of people and get a reaction . Just having a little chat with somebody and figuring out you ' re quite similar . But yeah , I ’ m looking forward to reminding myself that folks are just folks .
