Great interview. It's in an issue from April, 2007. I found this question most intriguing:
Q: After your sloppy performance a 2005's Glastonbury Festival, when you insulted the late English DJ John Peel from the stage, heroin rumors started up. What happened there?
A: I was just fucked-up and talking nonsense. I had taken some mushrooms, and it was in the middle of this constant traveling and partying. I actually love what John Peel was all about and I regret deframing him, but it was totally a joke. As for the rumors, I don't care; It just makes me sad that my mom might ever see anything like that. But the whiole Digital Ash tour was a dark time-we had already done the whole world for the Wide Awake tour, came home, rehearsed day and night for two weeks, and went back out. We were shot but we couldn't stop. And it felt like people maybe didn't understand the record and we had to go out and prove it to them. By the time we got to Europe, we were hitting on all cylinders. At Glastonbury, there'd been insane storms that washed away the whole site, and we were the last band on that stage for the weekend. It was like walking into a war zone. We'd just flown in and didn't have any english money to buy food or drinks, so we made a poor decision: It's a shitty day - let's get really wasted and everything will be better. But as we know, that doesn't work, and it just went from bad to worse.
Does anyone have access to audio, or possibly even video footage of this show??
