Met him last night before their show here in Philly, real nice guy who was very happy to talk to the fans. During their set he said that they choose to work their merch stand before and after their sets not to attract more business, but just for a chance to meet the fans and get to talk to them. He encouraged people to stop by even if they weren’t buying anything, just to talk or pose for a pic, they just wanted to meet the fans. Pretty cool if you think about it
Agreed, but I feel this tour was exposure for them. I saw them again during their next show in Toronto, albeit smaller venue, but way different atmosphere!
