Having seen The Howling supporting Buckcherry last year I made sure I saw them at Download was pleased that they were added as support on the Volbeat, Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies tour. I caught up with Blacky and The Rev after the gig for a short interview: –
I saw you guys at Download and you were awesome and last year with Buckcherry. About two weeks ago it was announced that you were going to be supporting Volbeat. How did that feel?
Blacky: Amazing. It all came around really quickly. We did out last headline show at The Underworld, which sold out in two weeks and Andy Copping and The Volbeat guys invited us to hop on board at the last minute and add a little bit more support and we were f**king loving it.
You have a new album – what’s it called?
Blacky: Er I can’t let the cat out of the bag just yet on the album title.
The Rev: We have got an album name.
Blacky: It’s based on the story from London, I moved to London from a small town and it’s the story from start to finish of what happened when I got here.
(To The Rev) I know you’re from Morecambe but I don’t know where you’re from Blacky?
B: Dunstable, near Luton
To The Rev – I need to ask one question – I was a massive Towers of London fan and I saw them but you’d left about a week before I first saw them. Is there any possibility of a one-off gig with The Rev and the rest of the band?
Not a cat in hells chance! Never! I’d rather chop my bollocks off!
Thank you very much guys.
Footnote – I think that’s a ‘No’ then! Gutted! 🙁
