Part one of our interview with Andrew Everding of Thursday touched primarily on his band and their stunning new record Common Existence. Part two however, takes things in a much different direction as Everding offers his thoughts on the scene, the industry and how to keep that PMA.
P: How has it been headlining this tour so far? This tour in past years has been a much bigger event at much bigger venues? Was it already scaled down before you were attached?
A: Sure. That was kind of the deal with it. They didn’t want to do the arena thing, but I don’t know exactly why. I don’t think we would have been happy doing arena tours or attempting to headline because I don’t think we’re that big so it was planned out.
P: You guys are headlining over a number of younger bands who cater to a much different audience and you guys kind of stick out like a sore thumb.
A: That’s a good way of putting it.
