Another interview with Brendan. I always wondered how he and Dave get along with each other on tour...

Quote :

“[It’s] a little bit annoying that people think that I’m, like, ass-blackout wasted all the time. Which is totally the case, like, 60 percent of the time,” he says, laughing. “But seriously, though, I have to keep it together before a show because I’m an old guy. ... There’s a sober guy in the Falcon, so the quickest way to piss off the sober guy in your band is to be too wasted to play.”

...and this is exactly what I thought.

We've recently had to cancel our European tour so that Dave could play with some way bigger bands.

GODDAMN!

Here´s an interview with (mostly) Brendan and (a little bit of) Dave at Riot Fest Chicago:



And a video:

If Dave Did It

Here´s another interview with Brendan (who else?)

Quote :

KS: So now, with this new lineup, there are four very different personalities of four musical heavy hitters in the scene. Can you associate each band member a title like The Diva, The Ringleader, and explain why?

BK: Okay. Well, Dave is a Provocateur for sure. He just sits there and picks at people – mostly Toby – just to do it. He will say things that he knows are outrageous just because he knows that it will piss off Toby. Like, “The Vapors are the best band. WAY better than The Lippies”. And Toby will be like, “You’ve never seen The Lippies and The Vapors’ first show is tonight!” He’s just saying it to be a dick. And, just to be perfectly clear, Dave likes The Lippies. It’s just to piss off Toby.

Hahaha!

There´s not very much on the internet, here´s what I found of The Falcon´s tour in November 2016

As much as I love watching videos of my favs, I´ll never ever understand those people who film a whole show. From the pit! I mean, film one or two songs to make other people happy, but then enjoy the show and dance your fucking ass off!
