| With tour comes... |
...phoners! Or at least those short interviews with usually only one of the guys that probably were conducted over the telephone. See, cities and venues like to know more about what possible hooligans are coming to influence their ears for an evening. Here are 4 examples.
Northwest Florida Daily News learned a bit from Jon about communication, and possible new songs on the setlist:
The band is working on a new album that Foreman hopes will be out this fall.
“You don’t want to press these things. You want to let them come in their time,” he says. How much new material they play is up to his brother.
“Tim’s in charge of that. It depends on what kind of mood he’s in,” Foreman says.

Chad talked with SoutheastTexasLive.com concerning the upcoming show at Beaumont:
"We want everybody to feel welcome at a Switchfoot show. It's a really exciting thing for me to look out in the audience and see people of all faiths and colors and creeds just knowing that music draws people together more than tearing them apart."

the Augusta Chronicle hears some insightful words from Romey:
The Switchfoot work ethic, Mr. Fontamillas said, is borne from the idea that success can be fleeting and takes real effort to preserve. He said the good news is that music is never about the goal but rather the continuing journey.
"People ask me if I feel like I've hit the top," he said with a laugh. "But a musician is always trying to tune the craft. There is always someone out there bigger and better, and that's good to think about.
"For me, success will always be how I treat my family, my wife, my church and my community. After all, we could be the choice of the day now and tomorrow be Milli Vanilli. Music is fickle."

And we even get to hear from Drew, as he talked with metrospirit.com:
“We’re always trying to reinvent what we do, but I guess we’re musicians and that’s just how we are,” Shirley said. “Turn things around, throw them upside down, play the guitar through something weird and see what it sounds like. Jerome and I mess around with sound the most, trying to make it sound weirder. If there’s a weird note on a song, you’ll know where it’s coming from!”
Shirley says their next album is still in the works, but will likely differ somewhat from previous records.
“I just think when you get older as a musician — not like we’re super old — but when you’ve got five albums under your belt, you kind of look at things differently,” he said. “You start to say things like ‘What am I using this platform for?’ or ‘Where are we trying to go with this song?’ If it’s not honest, if it doesn’t make you feel something, then we just chuck it.”

So there you have it. A little bit from each of 4 of the voices of Switchfoot. Hey Tim, it's your turn.Labels: interviews. |
