The Bravery (continued)

What's the best fest you've been to?
Conway: We played a weird Finnish festival that was super-dark goth. [Provinssirock, in 2005]
Burulcich: We played with Mars Volta, Marilyn Manson headlined. It looked like Shaun of the Dead. Seriously, me and John saw two dead people. They were blue. People just stepped over them. We got scared.
Conway: Everyone is just completely fucked up on vodka and ecstasy. And it's 4 or 5 in the morning and it's completely light out because there's no night.
Burulcich: And there's no security, no anything.
Endicott: It's what it would be like if Vikings were to go to a rock show.

Pre-show ritual?
Conway: Shitting and fucking.
Endicott: I put off thinking about it as long as I can, and then they just grab me.
Burulcich: I just get amped to go on. It's like, fight or flight, but you're always ready to fight.

The Bravery

If I had five minutes alone with Snoop Dogg ...
Sam Endicott: We did have five minutes alone with Snoop Dogg, and we took a picture.
Anthony Burulcich: We played a festival with him in Switzerland. We got inadvertantly stoned just from being in the general vicinity, even though he wasn't smoking when we were talking to him.

What's your take on the Bamboozle crowd?
Endicott: I saw a couple dudes in wrestling outfits, like full onesies. I took a picture of it. Must be the new style. Not really a good look for guys. Burulcich: A girl just tried to take a picture of me. She stopped me and said, "Oh my God, you look famous or something!' and I'm like, "Yeah, I'm in a band," and she's like, "Oh my God, I need a picture!" And I said, "You want a picture but you don't even know what band I'm in?" and kept walking and she ran after me, like, "Just tell me! I need a picture!" Then I told her and she was like, "Oh, I love you guys!"

Best thing about rocking a parking lot:
Burulcich: We've played a lot of overseas festivals, and if it rains a little, it's just three feet of mud. That's brutal. I much prefer the parking lot.

Dream festival headliners?
Endicott: Beatles, Nirvana.
Burulcich: Zeppelin with Bonham.
Endicott: Maybe we can assemble the awesome-est band ever. It'd be Axl Rose as the singer, Hendrix on guitar ...
John Conway: John Entwistle on bass, John Bonham on drums, Janis Joplin as a backup female vocalist.
Burulcich: And John Belushi on percussion. And Chris Farley doing the sound.
