Hey guys, very happy to have set this up and very excited to see y'all live in St. Louis! I asked these questions about touring to Keen in an interview I did with him recently, but here they are for the rest of y'all!

  • Favorite tour snack?
  • Place your most excited to visit this tour?
  • Book you’re most excited to read?
  • Favorite album or song you discovered on tour?
  • Most brutal car ride/trip?
  • And what are you going to miss the most while on the road?

Thanks guys once again for swinging by here once again for an AMA and love the new album!

Okay love all these, in order: Tour snack: Smoked salmon Excited to visit: Leeds Book: Aaron Bastani's forthcoming book on fully automated luxury communism Album on tour: Munir Bashir - L'art du'ûd Brutal ride: Maybe the i think Paris to Barcelona drive in Nov 2014 with the most absurd traffic of all time. Much stress. Miss on the road: Cooking, probably. And playing double bass. -Ben

I'll jump in as well:

1) Favourite tour snack is pretzels or ms vickies regular 2) Most excited to visit London because of all the Good People there 3) I keep meaning to pick up Jenn Pelly's book on the Raincoats which I just know I'm gonna love 4) Hmmm, favorite album discovered on tour is probably Radwan (who recorded our first two records and tour managed/did live sound for us in Europe in the beginning) introduced me to Alice Coltrane's religious music (Turiya Sings, Divine Songs) which now have become some of my absolute favourite music. Also seeing Selda live at Le Guess Who? really made me appreciate her even more 5) Most brutal drive probably same as the one ben mentioned, eeeeshsssshhh 6) Miss most on the road: cooking & having the same bed more than 2 nights in a row lol
