#mixradiolive

Last month Fearless Vampire Killers came to MixRadio HQ to treat us to a live session, you can watch the live video of their song Fetish to the Finite below. We also had a quick word with the theatrical indie rockers, about song writing and who would play in their dream festival line up...

Have you got any pre-gig rituals/habits?

We have a couple yeah. After our warm up we generally stick on our favourite dance/pop hit of the moment and have a boogie. Gets you all excited! Then before the show we always shake each others hands and say "Have a good show". It's simple but just a way of resetting before you get started. At that point nothing else matters.

Have you discovered anything new about song writing since your last album?

Yeah loads. You're always learning. Unbreakable Hearts was very much conceptual writing. Now we're trying to write more about our experiences so delving into that change is pretty cool.

Have you got a favourite venue to play live? OR Is there a venue you haven’t played yet that is on your ‘must have’ list?

I've loved playing Brixton Academy both times we've been there. It's beautiful, it always sounds great and has so much history. The venue i'd like to play most would be Madison Square Garden. For obvious reasons.

Do you have a particular favourite track off your new release and why?

Yeah! Depends what mood I'm in. Say What You Want from Me is one of my favourite songs on the records as it's just so expansive. However if I want to get intimate it's all about a track called "Taste the Iron on Your Lips"

Who would play at your dream festival?

Wow... ummm. Queen, Green Day, Muse, Wham!, He is Legend, Mika and the Beastie Boys.
