As Madina Lake prepare to head back over to the UK later this week, I caught up with the lovely Dan Torelli for a catch up.
Hello there Dan, what are you up to?
I’m ill! You can’t make me laugh, because if I laugh then I cough really hard and it hurts! But at least I’ll get it out of the way before we get there. How’s it going over there what’s new?
It’s good, it’s just starting to get sunny at last, it has been snowing and everything this winter!
I know, that cracks us up so much because it’ll snow a bit over there and then the news will come on with something like ‘London shuts down!” haha.
Yes, that’s so true, now to business, what’s this I hear about a headline tour on March 25th?
We are extremely excited to be coming back to the UK and we have plenty of new things and new songs to bring over. I think the last time we headlined over there was last May so we’ve been working on coming back ever since!
We’re coming over with Mayday Parade as well who we did a tour with a few years ago, and they did amazingly over here after that so it’s going to be good to hang out with them again. We saw them again when we were recording our second album, we’ve seen them here and there, but it should be good.
And you’re playing Sonisphere too right?
Yes, it’s going to be crazy we’re so lucky to get that. We’re so lucky that every year we get to do amazing festivals, but getting that one was brilliant and we’ve never played it before so it will be great.
Your last time here was with Papa Roach, so do you think some of their fans will be coming back to see you on tour?
I hope so! When we did that tour there was such a huge mix of people in the crowd, it was like a rock show all the way through and each and every show was great, so we both mutually benefited from doing those shows together.
Totally, my stepsister went and she actually text me saying; “I’ve just been to see Papa Roach, you totally have to check out Madina Lake, they were supporting and awesome” and I was like ‘You’re sooo behind the times!’
That’s great! I mean, we’ve been so lucky with everything from getting the songs on the radio to seeing people coming out to see us. We haven’t played in such a long time though, the last time we played was in Japan before Christmas, and ever since then we’ve been working on new material, which is great that we had time to do that but it’s been a long time since we hit the road and actually played.
