HOORAY FOR EARTH INTERVIEW

Hooray for Earth are from New York, were formed in 2006. Their debut album, ‘True Loves’ is available now on the London based Memphis Industries. To find out more interesting facts about the band, and so that you’re acquainted with them in time for Dot To Dot, please read on!

Tell us the story behind your name.

It means “hooray” like “fuck” we’re all fucked.

What is your favourite thing about playing city based festivals?

Cities

Are there any other bands from the line-up flyer who you really want to

see at Dot to Dot?

Yeah, I’ve never seen Wavves or Willy Mason, psyched for that.  Our friend Johnny Woods has been doing visual work with Neon Indian but I’m not sure if he’ll be along for the festival…either way looking forward to that too.

What is your fave item to take on tour and why?

I don’t have anything like that really.  I guess a bottle of something nice to keep company. I read a decent amount when I can but tend to forget to bring my books along.

If you could play any instrument that you can’t already, what would it

be?

I wish I’d spent more time on the finer stringed instruments when I was a kid. Violin, cello.

If you still feel like you need a little more persuading to see them at Dot To Dot, then do not fear, we can provide you with evidence enough – watch their video for ‘Realize It’s Not the Sun’ here!
