This Feeling’s Alive Tour continues in Cardiff at the Glee Club tonight with Chapel Row joining The Shimmer Band, Bang Bang Romeo and BlackWaters.
Live4ever’s interviews with the bands about life on the road also continues; today the spotlight is on BlackWaters and those special guests for the evening, Chapel Row.
BlackWaters
Most memorable experience with This Feeling so far?
Most probably the BigIn2017 gig at the beginning of this year. We were pretty new to it all and it was good meeting everyone.
Favourite live venue?
We would definitely all say different. We all really like the Thekla where we are playing on the tour. It’s not so much about the venue but the type of gigs we have played there. Places like The Black Heart in Camden and The Star Inn in Guildford hold a lot of memories for us.
One essential item on the tour rider?
A new scarecrow. Our Scarecrow Rodney crowdsurfed once and got a bit f***ed so we don’t bring him anymore cos he’s too much of a liability. So yeah, a less daring scarecrow would be pretty cool.
TV in a hotel room – watch it or throw it?
Well we’d probably watch it – we ain’t Led Zeppelin those times have passed. Nowadays you gotta be throwing out the iPad minis and the VR headsets. Times a’ changing and all.

One essential item on the tour rider?

TV in a hotel room – watch it or throw it?
