Pierce The Veil

Vic lead singer

So your debut is "A Flair for the Dramatic" tell me a little about the album and the story behind the title.
Sometimes our songs are theatrical and random, dramatic. I thought that name caught it a little bit.


So are we going to hear "Beat It" tonight?
Yes you are going to hear Beat It the entire Emery tour, every night. We might play it on Warped Tour just for fun.


Are you guys doing all of Warped?
Yeah we are doing all of Warped on the Hurley Stage.


So who is the messiest member?
I'm going to go with Jaime, the Bass player. He always gets bags that have broken zippers or something, and his stuff ends up everywhere.

So your on this tour until March 22nd, have you toured with any of these bands before?
We did a short run with Emery, they were on the Chiodos tour we were on for a little bit. We have played one show with Mayday Parade a while back. We are still getting to know all the bands.


Are you excited about the lineup? (Emery, Mayday Parade, As Cities Burn)
It is amazing. This is the longest tour we've ever been on. To spend that much time with all the bands, you have to get along. All the bands are super mellow, no ones crazy. So it will be awesome.


You guys are from San Diego?
Yeah.


How long have you guys been together?
A little over a year.


How do you feel about your success after only being together a while?
This band was definitely formed with a plan. We've been in bands before so we knew how we wanted to do it. Everything is going the way we wanted it to.We wanted to put out the album and be touring.


Whats the best advice any ones ever given you?
My dad told me to play and learn from other musicians. He was always telling me to get better that was the only way, you learn different styles and little tricks here and there. Its so true, there are always bands your learning from. From live performance to the way they set up their merch.


Do you have any crazy fan stories?
Um, Our fans are cool. They have been bringing us present and stuff lately. On Valentines day we got lots of cards and teddy bears.


So whats next?
After we finish up this Emery/Mayday Parade tour we have Bamboozle Left. After that we have a break and then hit Warped Tour!
 

Last words?
Come to the shows! That's all we're doing right now is touring. If we come near you come see us, stay in contact.
