| Reading and Leeds Festival |
[May. 28th, 2012 | 11:33 pm] |
I was looking through the Leeds Festival forum, and I found a thread which features answers to fans who asked the festival promoter a question. This was the first question:
'What's the reasoning behind Paramore being booked?'
And this was the promoters answer:
'Most importantly they’re a great live band and they’ve got a new album out around the festivals so makes sense on that level. Also I like to try and get acts before the headliners that are different but which complement them. So with The Cure being a more established act, someone younger with a female singer, works well. They’re also a big act making exclusive festival appearances for us, their last UK tour sold over 100,000 tickets and whilst they may have loud detractors on forums they also figure very highly on every poll we run. This year’s marmite band I guess but there’s a lot of people who want to see them.'
Interesting...

Since this community is so dead at the moment, I thought it'd be cool if we dig up some old memories and share a few of our favourite TV appearances that the band has done in the past.
Personally, I've been reliving this one quite a bit lately (video's flipped on YouTube :s):

| 20 Questions interview with Hayley |
[May. 23rd, 2012 | 12:07 am] |
from buzznet:
You guys are working on your new album, I heard that it's being produced by Meldal-Johnsen, who most recently worked on M83's albums. How was it working with him on this album and how would you compare it to previous albums? At this point, we have recorded one song with Justin. That time in the studio was easily the most relaxed, inspired, and liberating experiences we have had in any studio thus far. We are huge fans of his work not only as a producer but as a musician, writer and musical director. He wears all those hats well and with a lot of humility. What is the main inspiration behind the new record? I am laughing things off a lot more easily these days than I was at 19, when I wrote the last album. A lot of change... a lot of positivity. Even the songs with the more serious subject matter feel less toiled and troubled. Musically, I am most inspired by the personality captured in every instrument. That, to me, is actually what is making up this newer sound that is happening.
