“That gig was really good; if only to prove we've got what it takes to play the big stages; even just the three of us sound huge!” Bujak said excitedly. “Also still managing effortlessly to capture that intense vibe for the audience to witness!”
Along with television appearances, the band regularly play the festival circuit and have been broadcast at the Liverpool Football Club, Anfield, as well as being played on stations and venues internationally.
“Playing live's brilliant,” Bujak said, comparing playing the live gigs to the television appearances. “You get to rock out; give it your all and get sweaty as opposed to TV where you've got to check your hair's not outta place, etc. Ha, Ha!
There is quite a bit of pressure too when you have one or two takes to nail the song. Once that red light's on it captures a space in time you can't change. That's captured forever! So yeah, pressure, but good pressure!”
Symes agrees with Bujak in that the band really enjoys playing live. “Television can be a pressure because you are sort of put on the spot and you have to be aware if you make mistakes there is a big audience who are going to be viewing it, whereas playing gigs it's very relaxed when you know that there is an audience wanting to see you. I love doing both.”
Whether they are playing festivals or more intimate gigs, it is important for the band to mix with the crowd after those gigs. As Symes explains, “I do not like to miss talking to fans as it's them that put you were you are in terms of selling your music.”
Bujak finds the festival scene fun to play but enjoys a little more intimacy. “Festivals are real fun to play. Everyone's out to have a good day whatever the weather, and they all get really into the bands; even ones they see for the first time! Although I would just as easily play a gig in someone's living room if they wanted, you can't get more intimate than that. Well you can but...”
