Taking HayleY INTERVIEW
We got to talk to Taking Hayley's guitarist, Levi Keeling...
1. You played Warped Tour UK in November. Was that a good experience for you?
Honestly, playing the Vans Warped Tour UK was one of the best experiences we've had to date. It was great playing to the capacity room on the Kevin Says Stage as well as brushing shoulders with some of our heroes like New Found Glory, Less Than Jake and The Used.
2. How did it feel to be voted 4th Best British Newcomer in the Rock Sound Awards?
To us it really sums up what we feel has been a fantastic year. We're delighted that Taking Hayley starting to achieve recognition, and to be on a list with 4 other great bands is such a prestigious magazine as Rock Sound is fantastic.
3. What are your plans for 2013?
We're set to release our next single "Better Luck Next Time" next month and our headline #BLNT tour this February which we are very excited about. We are also making plans for a busy summer and beyond. Watch this space it's going to be another great year!
4. Who was your favourite band to tour with?
We've been fortunate to play with so many great bands over 2012 but my personal favourite was MSI (Mindless Self Indulgence). They're such great guys (and girls) and so down to earth.
5. If the band was the Inbetweeners, who would you be?
I'd be Will McKenzie, bit of a nerd but with a dark streak!
6. If you were a stripper, what would your stripper name be?
Black-Mouse Burkitt! First pet name with mother's maiden name? I'm sure that's right from what I remember at school...?!
