Say Anything Band • Page 33

It's here: I Don’t Think They Do w/ Max Bemis – Aaron Mook – Medium

PLEASE feel free to share anywhere and everywhere you see fit. This is the first time I'm really stepping out and doing my own thing, and it's the first in a series of interviews, so hopefully some of you find the discussion here interesting

 

Great article, thanks so much for posting it. Really good questions. I don't care what anyone says, Max can do almost no wrong in my book. He is one of the few artists that I truly feel cares about his fans. He's honest and how can you fault someone over that, regardless if you agree with them or not. Say Anything music has had and continues to have such a pivotal role in my life. Really looking forward to a new album and sounds like a tour.

 

Wonder if it's an IDOTG tour? Doubt it'll be the full album, but maybe a greatest hits of it tour?

 

I've seen them a bunch of times on tour but never seen them play Colorblind. I would lose my shit if they played that on tour.

 

"I’m actually kind of critical of bands who pretend not to care, when they so obviously do. I mean, there are bands like Radiohead that I can honestly say probably don’t care about what their fans think and really don’t care about critical acclaim. But then there are bands that I won’t name that I think try to give off that vibe, but thrive off of the community and what they think, or some sense of mystique or something like that, so I try to avoid that."

*COUGH*brandnew*COUGH*

 

And Arcade Fire.

 

"I can say that we will not be continuing in that direction."

THERE IS A GOD.

 

That was a great read. Thanks Aaron! Glad you got to have that late phone call with Max.

YEEESSSSSS to that definitely-going-to-be-an-IDOTG greatest hits tour. I can't imagine what else he would be doing if it's not just a normal tour. Perma tour doesn't make sense until a new record is out, and didn't he flat out say he would do something for this album at some point.

My only concern is that Riot Fest will replace the actual Chicago date, but then that's what Milwaukee and/or aftershows are for.

 

That was a great interview, answered a lot of questions I did not even know were on my mind. All great questions & no filler, looking forward to seeing more

 

good interview, i enjoyed getting some perspective on stuff

picking through being cool over in reverie or stay what you are though?? wild stuff

 

Cool interview, really looking forward to their next release and perma and whatever else he does

 

Great interview @Aaron Mook!

 

Awesome interview! Now I just need to anxiously wait for the (what I am assuming is the IDOTG anniversary) tour to be announced.

 

Great job Aaron, and thanks for asking my question.

 

I'm really investing my heart and soul into this project and this was a dream interview like a decade in the making (when I first heard Say Anything) so thank you all for reading and being so sweet and taking this ride with me

 

in baltimore s/t and disc 1 is in a 400 cap room while the other two are in a 1500 cap room, lol. might do the s/t night

 

How do we know which night is which albums?

 

So cool that this at Beachland in Cleveland. Going to be a very fun two nights

 

pretty crazy tour, most likely won't go to it as I've already seen IARB in full

 

fb pages have had it as i've seen so far

 

gonna try to go

 

Night 1 is S/T & Defense Pt 1
Night 2 is IARB & Defense Pt 2

Seems to be the same everywhere

 

Why isn't in orderrrrrrr that bothers me haha.

 

Gonna try to at least do night 1. Would love to see S/T in full. It does annoy me that IDOTG is split between the two dates

 

My venue spelled out what each night was.
