What can we expect from the
new record?
A lot of different things. We’ve been listening to a
lot of new and interesting stuff, but I guess people
should just expect a dope rock record to the best of
our ability. Not lo-fi or anything weird like that. It’s
going to be the best thing we’ve ever put out. But
that’s also pointless to say because if you’re in a band
and you put out something that wasn’t as good as
the thing before it then you should probably stop or
take a break or something. We’re not there yet.
The atmosphere for new and
upcoming bands seems a little
different to what’s happening
over here in the UK, could you
explain what you do and don’t
like about your local scene?
How so over there? I feel like the grass is always
greener on the other side... but I don’t like the fact
that New Orleans is in the middle of nowhere. What
I love is the community aspect of our scene. It’s not
something like Philadelphia where there are sick
shows all the time, but it makes for the drive to try
harder at making something really special as opposed
to just starting a band just to play shows or whatever.
That happens a lot here too but their usually funk
bands or something that I’m not really that into.
Do you have any plans to tour over
here in the UK on the horizon?
Dude, absolutely. We would kill to go over there.
It’s just a matter of time and getting all the stuff
together. We wanna go to Europe so badly!!! At
earliest, August of this year but it’s VERY up in the air.
What do you most enjoy about
being Donovan Wolfington and
the success that has come with it?
Having something to be proud of and playing live
shows. Touring mostly. Traveling is the coolest thing
ever. I wanna go everywhere.
And what’s been tough for you
guys about your experience so far?
Being from New Orleans and all of the member
changes definitely. Being from New Orleans is weird
because New Orleans is the best ever, but it is in the
middle of nowhere. There aren’t really any amazing
or happening cities 4 hours in either direction, so it
makes touring a little tougher, thus making it harder
to get things done and be able to tour constantly.
The member changes should be for obvious reasons.
