I can’t think of a better way to spend the night after the last couple of years than to just be outside in a nice, beautiful location, listening to a bunch of beautiful music. And a lot of magic moments will be created. We are going to sing the songs that you know and love. TH: It’s gonna be a perfect night! We are going to give it our all. MM: Why should fans check out your show at Milwaukee a la Carte? And it was definitely a knee-jerk moment of, “Holy, I can’t believe all these people are here.” It was really magical.
It was definitely the biggest crowd we’d ever played to at that time. And then we realized, oh, this is what having a hit song is.
MUSITION ZOO MOVIE
It was almost like one of those weird movie moments where we all kind of looked at ourselves, like, “What the hell is this? Who the hell’s playing after us? Why are all these people here?” It was one of those crazy moments. And then when it was time to go play, we walked out on stage, and there was like 10,000 people there. So we were just stuck back in a little room and hanging out all day. or something, and then we didn’t go on until like 9. We were backstage all day – we probably did a soundcheck at like 2 p.m. And it was one of the first times where we were headlining a stage. It was the summer that “Delilah” was everywhere, blowing up. TH: A memory or a moment that stands out is when we played Summerfest in the summer of 2007. MM: Do you have any Milwaukee memories you would want to share? Their boyfriend played it for them back in the day, or a lot of people use “1, 2, 3, 4” as their wedding song, which is crazy! … So we really do enjoy playing the hits, whereas some bands turn their noses up, we definitely embrace it. You’re singing a song that people are excited to hear, and they’re smiling, and they’re singing along, and even beyond that moment, you know that the song has some meaning to them. You can see people start taking out their phones, and it’s like, that’s the magic, because they’re excited. … When we start playing “1, 2, 3, 4,” that opening hits and you hear the cheer of the audience. You wish every song you wrote connected the way “Hey There Delilah” does. But for me, that’s why you make music is to connect. TH: A lot of bands and artists hate their hits, like they think playing hits is lame or something. MM: Speaking of songs that connect with people, which are your favorites to play for live audiences? It’s really fun to to say, “Where was I at when I was writing that song?” We just kind of tried to tap back into a little bit of that magic. We’ve grown over the years, so it’s really nice to kind of look back at the career and say, “OK, what were the highlights? What were the things that really connected the most with people?” And then, now as we’re getting older, we have this career to look back on and all these hits and everything. … We started out as more of a punk-rock band back in like 1997 in my basement – I should say, my parents’ basement. We’re trying to take the things that people love about Plain White T’s and take the music in that direction. We’re still kind of in the process of going through everything and figuring out what’s going to make the album and whatnot, but I definitely think people are going to be really excited about the music. MM: What’s the scoop with the new album? What types of songs are you working on? I’d say one of the fun things about the show at the zoo is we’re definitely going to be debuting some of the new material. only release an album every few years, so it’s kind of a big deal.
We’re getting out of this pandemic, we’re playing shows again and we’re working on new music, which is obviously one of our favorite parts.
