Alexisonfire Interview

• 17th Nov 2010

Sat backstage at the HMV Forum, one quick cigarette and a discussion about the dangers of ‘Black Mambas’ later, it’s time to catch up with Jordan from Alexisonfire on the Tour, Dogs Blood and ‘movember’ moustaches…

Firstly, on your Myspace page you’ve posted up that you guy are taking part in Movember did you do it properly? (Movember, for your reference readers is where men allow their moustaches to grow for the month of November in aid of Prostate cancer research)
We always cheat, if we didn’t its be the shittiest nastiest moustache by the end of the month, apart from Steele (Bassist), Steele’s got this massive thing … he’s had a moustache for about 4 months now so he wasn’t going to shave it off and start over, and then me, I cheated, I don’t usually have a moustache…. [That’s a definite cheat as the moustache is pretty bushy for a week 2 at this stage] I don’t usually have a moustache so I grew it like a week before we left for tour then shaved it off link“>the Computers the band that’s opening for us, they are fucking awesome… [as we speak, computers are thrashing out their sound check] I don’t even know how to describe what they sound like, whatever it is its awesome.
I also like link“>the Computers.

Finally, If you were putting together a festival, who would you pick to headline it, apart from yourselves?
Ah, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Deftones… I’m a grunge kid, that’s what I grew up listening to and taking a lot of influence from musically… man… can I bring bands back from the dead too?? [Yeah… ok then] Ok, Led Zeppelin & The Who with Keith moon… tough call… I could sit here for hours and come up with a festival that would last for a month… but they’re the top ones
