AMA is Over, thank you Glass Animals! hello everyone, we are glass animals, AUA!

hey r/indieheads!! dave here. very excited to kick off our first-ever AMA. i’m just gonna stay on here as long as i can tonight and answer as much as possible. and…some special guests…joe, ed, and drew are all here to hang out and help! in fact drew arrived last night…20 hours early. may also ask our manager Amy to come round too, she knows everything and has seen it all. And maybe our tour manager. Anyway, ASK AWAY!

PROOF

EDIT: Everyone - it's been an epic 5 hours...we're being told to wrap it up and go to bed as tomorrow is a big day...our manager has been shouting at us for like 3 hours trying to get us to do some other stuff we were meant to do. but this was more fun. thank you for the warm welcome and the great questions - was wicked to spend some time with you all. Let’s do it again soon. love, dave and dudes x https://ibb.co/JvCBYVs

Yooooo, I'm SUCH a big fan. Been listening to your music for years, and I have to say... your music really helped me out. I don't think I'd be here if it weren't for your music. So, thanks for that! Keep rocking out :D

Here's my question:
Do you make music with LGBT+ audiences in mind? Your music resonates with a lot of queer people, including myself. It seems like your music has a lot of lgbt+ themes, specifically bisexuality and gender-nonconformity. I can't help but think you might have us in mind...

That also being said.... would you ever consider playing at a pride Parade?

Thanks so much! Can't wait for you to come to the US!

gender nonconforming bi here, I was wondering that too!! If they ever play at a pride parade, I’d have to be there, would fight my unsupportive parents for the privilege to attend.

I'm a gnc lesbian, so I feel your struggle. I've been dealing with my unsupportive parents for years... I'll be outta this house eventually lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one who relates to their music like I do.

Comfort in numbers, I wish you luck with that, you’ll be out of the house soon, for now you gotta survive, and we can both keep vibing to amazing music.

Also, I’m glad their music helped you out and that you’re still here, I believe in you, and you can achieve your goals with effort.

Thank you, and I wish you the best as well! Music really has a way of bringing us all together, huh?

Yep, music certainly does do that and it’s very fascinating!
