“We said, ‘Let’s play as many places as we can in a year.’ So it was China, the Philippines, Japan, Europe, America… We were halfway through South-East Asia and someone got an email saying, ‘Come play Kolkata’ and that was that. Kolkata was insane. We were the only incredibly light-skinned humans in the entire city covered in tattoos, every person in these incredibly crowded streets was just staring at us. They were all super nice, but I’ve never been stared at like that in my life – it was such a trip. We rock up at this venue and the roof is held up by bamboo scaffolding, tied together with rope, and it’s the sketchiest fucking thing. In front of the stage there’s a three-metre gap with plywood on top, we look underneath and it’s a 10-metre drop into a pit. If anyone steps there, it’s an Indiana Jones trap and they’re gonna die. We start playing and there’s no barrier, just 10 people standing with arms linked to stop the crowd from falling down the pit. We got everyone up on the stage at the end and it was the most incredible energy of people just losing their shit. We talked to fans afterwards and one said, ‘I sat on top of a train for two days to come to this gig.’ We literally gave whatever merch we had to them. We never got paid for the gig, but it didn’t matter.”
