“All the weird and wonderful different types of music under one roof.”
When Chris Wee, drummer in And So I Watch You From Afar, is not hammering away at his kit, he’s hitting nails on the head. Sat backstage at ArcTanGent Festival a few months back with Chris and Rory Friers, guitarist in ASIWYFA, the festival itself is a topic they’re eager to talk about, the annual long weekend now being a notable date in their performance calendar.
“We got asked to do a bunch of stuff this summer and the guys who do this and 2000trees, they’re the only people who we felt like – we’ve got to do this.” Says Rory. The festival now being a must-do for the band sort of happened over night. But up until that point, it looked like it had the potential to just be any other festival.
“It was kind of in our diary and we’d never heard of it before. We had no idea what it was gonna be like or what it was really about. It didn’t really stand out.”He continues. “We were doing loads of festivals that summer; there was all the big European ones that we were really excited about and then there was this little one in Bristol. We were just like – we’ll do it on the way home.”
Arriving at the ‘little festival in Bristol’, a tired group of men pottered about backstage, setting up gear for the day. Unbeknownst to them, a swarm of riff-hungry, besotted math-heads were already bouncing off the walls in anticipation for their arrival.
“We pushed our gear out and from two minutes into the set it was like – holy fuck.” Beams Rory. “The sun started going down, the lights came on, and by the time that show finished it was like – this is probably one of the best shows. I remember all the crowd sat down at one point in one of the songs, ‘The Voiceless’, just on their own accord. It was so good. Really took us by surprise.”
And So I Watch You From Afar will be joining RX Bandits on a tour of the US this fall. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 29th and will be available HERE. A full list of dates can be…
