Travis Johnson hopped on a Zoom call as 2020 came to a close to talk about how the band’s music served as an unofficial soundtrack to the year.
If we can pretend like this interview was on March 1, 2020, tell me where your head was at and what you were thinking. The album was about to come out, not sure if you had tour plans. What was the cycle you were getting ready to hop into?
TRAVIS: I can check our email account and see when the last email was sent about booking a show. I remember we had a little mini-string of dates that was Philly, Boston, Richmond, DC or something like that. That was secured. And then, a couple weeks later, we were going to go out and do more throughout the Midwest. That was coming together too – I remember Pittsburgh, I think Cleveland. I think, at that point, I was just like, “I hope there’s not rain on our album release night.” And hoping that some of the bigger sites reviewed the record.
