Care to share anything that what funny that you experienced on tour or at a gig?
There was that one show in Langebaan where the crowd would not let us off the stage (by crowd I mean giant rugby player types and their girls) unless we made some attempt at playing a Brian Adams cover. As it turns out it was quite easy actually. We didn’t have to sing the lyrics, the crowd immediately came in with their own, and we didn’t even have to play the song properly. I think we just played the same three chords over and over. We were instant heroes!
