Tour Talk #11 - Tobbe Strandvik

Welcome to the latest instalment of Tour Talk - if ever you needed a deeper understanding of why we’re all crazy enough to go on tour together then this is the episode for you. 

We’re joined by Tobbe Strandvick from Swedish band Camchatka and I’m sure it’s clear to everybody listening that the 3 of us had a great time sharing some tight and border line unpleasant  spaces together on tour. 

Tobbe is not only an incredible drummer but he’s the very definition of what we refer to as a ‘Good Tourist.’ He was an absolute pleasure to be on the road with and I think the fact that we look back with great fondness on some fairly unglamorous situations is      testament to why we love doing what we do. He gives us an amazing insight into taking his positivity into every situation on road as well as how easy it is for one person to affect the vibe on tour and bring the whole mood down. 

 We find out what it was like learning to tour in Sweden as opposed to the UK & the States, the origins of floor pizza, the correct way to listen to Meshuggah, the variances of playing in the studio compared to playing live, developing relationships with others bands

I had so much fun shooting this episode with the guys and I think it gives a great insight to the kind of friendships you make while out touring.
