I mean, we fucking love small shows. We’re playing a basement in West Philly with Fireworks tomorrow, but realistically, you can’t stay alive on donations at the door and the van doesn’t run on hopes and dreams. That shit needs gas and a lot of it. If we want to be on tour non-stop (and we do), then we need to be doing some bigger shows, but that doesn’t mean that the energy changes at all…..Bands get bigger if they get lucky and work hard enough. That’s what happens and I don’t see anything wrong with that at all. Honestly, if you don’t like a band anymore because some girl in your high school likes them now, then you didn’t like them in the first place. Don’t be the “I knew them when they only had a 7 inch out” guy. That guy is an asshole. As long as the band is still doing the same thing they’ve always done then it shouldn’t be an issue.
