Interviewer:Hey guys I'm backstage in Milwaukee Wisconsin on the Royalty Tour with Suburban Sunrise lead vocalist Nicole Woods. Nicole how are you today?
Nicole: I'm pumped for this show. So far the tour has been alot of fun it seems like every city we go to exceeds our expectations and just blows us away witch is surprising to me because we are the opening band.
Interviewer: How many people do you think have been watching your set?
Nicole: Well we are playing in giant venues that hold up to 45,000 or more people so when we start playing there is about 15,000 to maybe 20,000 people which is the biggest crowd we have ever played for. And I have also noticed that not many people that get there early are there to watch us play. They get there early to make sure they have a good seat for when The Bards play. I have also noticed that only like 5,000 of those people know who we are.
Interviewer: How do you know that exact number?
Nicole: We actually did a survey with the people that came in they just went over to this little computer thing and put down if they have ever heard of the opening band and out of alot of people about only 5,000 people said they did. But that really doesn't bother us because that helps us get our name out there and more people can hear our music.
Interviewer: Is the band going on tour after this?
Nicole: We are hoping to. I know that Matt has been talking to our manager about getting a tour together for bands that not many people have heard of and getting one really big name to help the other bands get noticed.
Interviewer: What type of venues would it be? And would you be headlining?
Nicole: We are not even close to being able to headline a tour yet. And to answer the type of venue I think it would be like a House of Blues or Hard Rock Cafe size venue for the tour.
Interviewer: Are there any bands you would possibly want to go on this tour?
Nicole: I personally would want to see Reckoner headlining it and as far as other bands go I would think it would be cool if people like Teen Titans, Billie Becket, Cristina Lake, Caleb Kramer and Vulker and The Millions would make a pretty strong line up and really help them get noticed. But in all honesty I personally don't care who wants to go on this tour. But if anyone is interested let us know or if anyone wants us to open for them we would be more then happy to!
Interviewer: Now since Dylan dropped out of being a full time member of the band are you looking for a new drummer?
Nicole: Um well we've been thinking about it and yes and no. If we find someone good enough to replace him then yes but right now no.
Interviewer: This is my last question for you because I know you have to go do sound check. You just released a new album 4 days ago and I must say I really love it. How do you think this album is different from the past albums this band has put out? And what is your favorite track to play on tour.
Nicole: Well obviously this is different because we have me singing. But we added more classical instruments into it like Piano, on a few tracks Violin, and trumpets on the last song "To The Fans." So its a little more theatrical then what our fans are used to but I think that people can relate more to some of the tracks like, Medicated Dreams, Vulture, Torn Filthy Love, and When I Wake Ill Be Just Like The Rest. And people I think like this album a little more then our previous releases. But I don't like how everyone thinks its going to be like the Blink tribute the boys did. If your watching this and think its anything like that album I'm telling you to go pick up the album at Target, Best Buy, or on our Web store because this album is nothing even close to that and if you guys listen to it I'm sure you will like it. And lastly my favorite track to play live is actually an older one called Lines. Its obviously one of the fans most favorite songs and we all love to rock out to it. So that's all I have to say about that.
Interviewer: Thank you Nicole for your time. Have fun tonight I'm going to be watching it so I hope its a good show!
Nicole: It was my pleasure and thank you hope you enjoy the show!
