Interviewer: How is touring with Kelly Clarkson and The Fray? How was that experience?
Chad: Absolutely amazing!
Rickard: It's the best thing ever.
Chad: I think it's one of those things that will honestly influence most of probably what we'll do touring wise in live shows for the rest of our lives. No matter what sort of things we're up to, this has been such an influential tour. I mean, we learned so much from Rob Thomas when we were out with him, cause he kind of operated on a similar scale, like The Fray and Kelly, and the people that they had with their crew is such a different world. Like I mean, everybody would do anything to make sure the show works no matter what. Like we've had equipment failure on stage, we've had personality changes, not in the band, but in some of our crew guys that we had to let go. But you know, down to the truck drivers, to the people that were running gear everyday, they are the absolute coolest nicest people and it's been one of the coolest summer's that I've had in years.
Rickard: Yeah, it's been amazing.
Chad: It's like being a kid again. They had a two-story waterslide one day in Florida, or Alabama. She [Kelly Clarkson] bought a blow up waterslide for all of us to go out on.
Interviewer: That sounds awesome!
Chad: It was amazing! And they had a snow cone machine back stage with you know alcohol, and then canon-balling. Doing everything that you shouldn't be doing on a blow up waterslide.
Rickard: Yeah it's one of those ones were they rent it out to kids parties, and then all of a sudden it's a whole crew on it.
Chad: Yeah like 20 something's to 40 somethings--
Rickard: yeah trying to break it. No but, it was fun.
