ACL Fest: Meet the Bands - Blue October
Austin Music Source: How do you plan to cope with Austin’s summer heat? Will it cramp your onstage style?
Blue October: Lots of water. A big fan on stage. Doesn’t cramp my style too much, other than I am soaked with sweat after outdoor shows in Texas. No problem, though. Part of the experience.
What other bands are you looking forward to seeing at the festival?
There are so many. The Arctic Monkeys, White Stripes, the Killers, Pete Yorn, Muse, Arcade Fire, Lucinda Williams, the Decemberists, just to name a few. Oh yeah, and Queens of the Stone Age.
What’s the last CD you paid full price for?
Stone Temple Pilots … The first one. Can’t remember the title.
What’s the one thing you can’t live without on your tour bus/van?
Traveling BBQ pit.
When you think of Texas music, who or what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
Austin, Texas.
Do you have a celebrity crush you’re willing to reveal?
No, not really. Is that a trick question?
What’s the one song you’ve always wanted to cover but never have?
“Blue Eyes Cryin’ In The Rain” by Willie Nelson.
What’s the one thing you want to make sure to do before leaving Austin?
Pet my dogs and kiss my beautiful wife.
Blue October plays the AMD stage from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15.
