Q: hey karly!

i was at the oakland show october 18, and before that was at the san francisco show for rat saw god!

at both shows we were moshing like crazy people the whole entire set. i think at the sf show you even said something about it implying it was excessive lol.

i'd love to know how you feel about the constant, kind of tone-ignorant moshing at your shows, and if it's something about wednesday fans or just something about the bay? from your POV does it feel like people are ignoring the actual tempo/vibes of the music, or like it's our first rock show and we're out of our minds, or do you like the energy?

from my POV, we weren't moshing because we mistakenly think the songs are really hardcore or anything. everyone was just SO EXCITED for every song!! we were all smiling like crazy people thrashing to elderberry wine because we just love it so much!! those 2 shows are some of my favorite memories because everyone was just so freaking psyched!

i pray we don't seem ignorant or god forbid ironic. we fucking love you guys!!!

p.s. at the rat saw god show i gave you a black and white and orange accordion zine with all the lyrics written on the back. hope u liked it!

A: I pretty much always fuck with moshing!! It definitely comes off more as excitement than like aggression at our shows.

I always usually say something into the mic if the crowd is getting too crazy… like I’ll explicitly be like “yo don’t push people up against the stage or barrier” or “hey please don’t mosh to this song its a sad one”

9/10 times though the crowd moshing/jumping gives me so much energy !! Which I usually need cause by the time we play it’s usually after a long ass day.

Oakland specifically was the most exhausting day on tour so far… we woke up around 6:30 to drive from LA for 6 hours and then had sound check and blah blah blah… but the crowd giving us that much energy made it soooooooOOOOO much easier to give ya’ll all the energy we had left. That was such a fun show.
