How do your audiences affect, or even contribute to the way you make your music?
Michael: They definitely affect our playing. The other night there was an older song we were trying to play and in the sound check we literally couldn’t get through it, but, in front of an audience, we played it perfectly. The fans respond in different ways, depending on the music. They’re really in tune with it, even with the new songs. They know when to go wild but then, on more stripped down songs, they’re practically silent.
Nate: You can tell it means a lot to them; they’re very respectful to the songs.
