Everything from life on the road, to blood blisters and Scottish Football to what artists could steal from athletes to make the tourlife a little more sustainable.

The guys have found a way to power through and play almost every night, and despite their years of experience, they still find it challenging at times. Their UK leg later this spring will be a true test with just 2 days off on a full ten date tour across the pond.


"It'll be a slog" says Cam Wyatt, but it seems as though they're ready for it.
"Europe culture still loves live music," says Stephen Adubofuor who's been with the group since 2019, contributing to their high-energy sound.

This conversation sparks a lot of thoughts in my mind as to how the current machine is set up when it comes to artistry. It doesn't cater to the artist. It rewards output. Basically, whoever can last the longest will come out... unscathed...? I dunno. I think there's another way. And my chat with Kasador gives me hope that with a few more touring acts doing it differently, managing sleep deprivation, road nutrition and being proactive with their recovery practices, both physically and mentally.... we might just be able to create a lane where creative sustainability is allowed to thrive.
