Colour Of Spring, Please introduce yourselves.
Hello, I’m Robin and I
play guitar, we also have our frontman Shane, who sings and plays guitar, Tom
on bass and Bryce on drums.
What have you been up
to today?
Slaying dragons in a
mystical world far, far away.
You are going out tour
this month playing around the UK, what are the personal essentials you pack for
tour, any lucky mascots?
Well last time we
toured Tom and Shane didn’t bring sleeping bags with them. We slept on a few
sofas and floors and I think they soon realised this was a big mistake! So
always bring a sleeping bag. Sleeping on a cold wooden floor in Newcastle in
the middle of February isn’t fun!
Bryce and I skateboard
so we’ll be sure to bring our decks with us and to hit up some different spots
in each city. We want to catch these last few weeks of summer weather before
you can’t skate outside for the next 6 months.
Still in your primal
stage as a band I imagine its getting cosy in a transit van with rest of the
band rather than a tour bus, do the band get on well together, how did you form
as one?
We get on really well
actually, it’s was no bother last time. We chat, drink, smoke and listen to
music, it’s a good laugh. It all got a bit out of control in Canterbury when
our merch guy tried to jump out of the van going 70mph down the motorway.
Everyone had too many beers that night and it all just got a bit crazy!
Who has the worst
habits in the band?
I don’t know if anyone
has any really bad habits? Last tour Tom always seemed to have a bag of salted
peanuts with him wherever we went, like he lived off peanuts for 10 days, it
wasn’t really a bad habit though.
As the cold winter
approaches is everyone up for cold vans, got any bad travel or tour stories
from the past?
To be honest, we
toured in February last time, so touring in September will be a breeze! I went
on a tour with Eagulls once, when they first started out and the door in the
back of the van didn’t close properly letting in this terrible breeze. It was
the middle of winter and we had to sit with a blanket over our feet the entire
time. That was pretty grim!
With the cold weather
comes snow, which just happens to be your new single, did you time it that way?
(Story behind it)
Haha. No, we’re not
that cunning! We actually recorded two new singles recently and a label came in
and said they wanted to release the other single early next year, so that left
us with Snow. So it came out first by default really.
Who would win in a
snowball fight in the band why?
I think I would have
to say me, and if there others were here they would agree. I have a bit of a
mean streak and I wouldn’t stop until I’d won, even if it meant playing dirty!
Final last words?
Yeah, shout out to all
the COS friends and family and the House of Love crew!
Best of luck on tour! Check out the band link below for their September tour.
