Hometown Lights, their interview.

The canadian band is preparing to Taubertal Open Air Festival!



You have participated in the Emergenza Festival Edition 2015/2016. What made you decide to take part in it?
We wanted to gain more experience on stage and the fact that emergenza could make us play on some pretty cool venues of Montreal were the main reasons we decided to jump into the contest. Also, the fact that it was free was a one chance opportunity.

As you approach the world final, what is your state of mind?
We’re all pretty excited and ready to give all we got.

What is your best memory from your Emergenza experience?
To hear hundreds of beautiful voices singing along to our songs.

What's behind your band's name? Any specific meaning?
That amazing feeling you get when you finally arrive home after a long trip, and you’re passing through your hometown lights.

f you had to choose a famous song that represents your band...which one would it be?
Gold Steps by Neck Deep.

Can you tell us a funny story or anecdote about your experience on stage? And one which happened in backstage or during the preparation of a show?
During the last song of our set at the Métropolis, our singer stage dived right in the middle of his girlfriend’s face. About a year ago, we had a show the day after our drummer’s birthday. We had to wake him up 5 minutes before going on stage because he had a rough night.

How would you describe your music?
Tasty.

Before you go on stage, do you have a ritual or a good luck charm that goes everywhere with you?
We like to have a good fight through a game called Ninja.

What is your dream gig?
Any gig is a dream gig.

What can audiences expect from one of your live performances?
That beer is also attending the party.

If you could invite a band or an artist at your party, dead or alive, who would it be?
Ozzy Osbourne

What are your short to medium term plans after the international final?
Go in the studio and record our first record.

What inspires you when you are composing (musical inspirations or others)?
Everyday’s emotions.

What question did I forget?
What’s your favorite beer?

Why do you think you deserve to win the 2016 Festival edition?
Because this last year was all about Emergenza, we put some much effort and time through it. We’re coming to germenay to give everything we have and to enjoy every moment of this trip. We think we have the potential to make our projects and dreams come true and winning Emergenza would be the most special achievment for the band since its first day. See you there!!
