Dinner, Socks and Soundcheck: How St. Lucia Prep for a Show

"Here's [drummer] Dustin testing out his new shoes during soundcheck," says St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler. "Kick drum and new kicks."

"Here's [bassist] Ross double-checking his pedals," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler explains. "He's king of the knobs."

"Here's [keyboardist] Nicky enjoying a little soundcheck snack," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says.

"Here we are enjoying a band dinner before the show," says St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler. "So many menus, so little time."

"[Keyboardist] Nicky's parents stopped by to surprise us at dinner," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler explains. "I think we're gonna need a bigger table!" 

"A rare quiet moment with [keyboardist] Patti in the cab," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says. "Enjoying the silence."

"We had to make a quick pit-stop at home for socks," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says of a rare pre-show emergency.

"Okay, maybe you can have too many socks," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler admits.

"Don't worry, it's synthetic zebra," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says of his stage outfit.

"[We're] hailing a cab to the venue," says St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler. "Old-school Uber."

"Ross and Nicky are sharing a tender moment backstage," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says. "They swear it tastes better this way." 

"We're horsing around here before the set," says Jean-Philip Grobler of St. Lucia.

"Dustin has a gallon of ranch dressing in his other hand," says St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler. "Gotta fuel up before the show."

"Excuse me, I'll need to see a permit for those guns," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler jokes. "For the record, Patti wins." 

"A little band pow-wow before we take the stage," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says. "Here we go, team!" 

"Bowing down before our light show," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says. "Get low, get low, get low!"

"Here's [bassist] Ross taking the bass for a walk," St.Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says. 

"Time for the nightly crowd photo," St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler says. "Nothing beats looking out to a sweaty packed house full of fans."

"Things got a bit rowdy towards the end of the set," says Jean-Philip Grobler of St. Lucia.

"One show down, three to go," says St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler. "Time for a drink with some friends."
