In April, I interviewed White Lies.
Earlier today, I had the distinct pleasure of chatting with the bassist for White Lies: Charles Cave. Here’s how our interview panned out:
1. Congrats on all of your international success. I know that your North American trek is winding down this week. How is it going? Also, as this is your second time traveling with Friendly Fires, do you care to share any thoughts on your touring buddies?
Thank you! The tour has been going really well. It’s always a challenge when a British band comes to the US. It’s a lot of hard work. It’s a big place and we’re trying to have our music heard by as many people as possible but response has been great. Many folks have come down to see the show simply because there are two British bands playing. We meet these fans after the show, and while they agree that it’s an odd pairing with Friendly Fires, they give us lots of praise. It’s interesting because Friendly Fires are dance inspired and we’re offering an intense collection of songs. But I’m glad it’s this way, as they are great guys and I’d rather tour with a band that doesn’t sound exactly like us.
2. Who’s been a bigger influence: Joy Division or New Order?
Definitely Joy Division.
