RT's Switchfoot Experience
Tuesday, 04 May 2010

As I'm writing this I'm listening to Switchfoot's new album "Hello Hurricane" and just thinking about our experience in supporting them. When you're in a band you get to experience a lot of different personalities and musicians. You get a feel for them not only musically but how they are as people reflected in the manner that they treat fans,crew, their band mates etc..

This gig gave me an education in everything that I value. Musically they rocked. Onstage they have a chemistry that we aspire to. Each of them listening and always finding the right space, careful not to step on each other's vibe.

The way they treated everyone around them was amazing. From the crew, the support band :], and most importantly the fans. They are genuine and care.

And this is reflected back to them in the love that their fans return. It's a beautiful circle.

Thanks Switchfoot and Red Ant Touring for providing the classroom to learn.

Cheers

Phil
