The Pretty Recklessin Taylor Momsen: ”Livemusiikki ei voi kadota, ihmiset ja muusikot tarvitsevat sitä”
Yhdysvaltalaisen rock-yhtye The Pretty Recklessin laulaja-kitaristi Taylor Momsen keskusteli 100.3 The X Rocks -radiokanavan juontajan Big J:n kanssa yhtyeiden tämänhetkisestä tilanteesta ja kyvyttömyydestä kiertää koronavirusepidemian takia. Myös The Pretty Recklessin oli tarkoitus olla kiertueella, mutta suunnitelmat menivät uusiksi. Yhtye on julkaisemassa myöhemmin tänä vuonna uransa neljännen studioalbumin nimeltä ”Death By Rock And Roll”. Momsen on luottavainen livemusiikin tulevaisuuden suhteen:
”It’s crazy times. I don’t know what to say. It’s a real bummer. We were supposed to be on tour right now. We had some of the best touring lined up in our career. It was all the festivals, it was the FOO FIGHTERS, it was GUNS N’ ROSES, it was PEARL JAM — the list goes on and on — and after three years of basically self-quarantining for myself, I was really ready to get back out into the world and really excited to play the new material live, and the circle doesn’t quite feel complete without being able to do that. But we’ve just gotta be patient. Ride the storm out, wait.
I do know that live music and rock and roll, it’s not gonna go away forever — it can’t. it’s lifeblood. People need it, musicians need it. So I know that musicians will figure out a way to do it. We’ll figure out a way to play. I know they’re talking movie theater drive-in concerts and stuff right now. Right now, it’s obviously quarantine videos that’s a big thing. But we’ll figure it out. I’m just looking forward to once the four of us can get in a room together and just start playing, then the weight will start to lift and we’ll figure it out from there.”
