POP ETC are an indie rock band from Berkeley, California. Having released their new album, Souvenir, in January and a tour with The Moth and Flame and Banners underway, the band have been super busy. Recently, Legendary Kids Press caught up with frontman Chris Chu at the band’s show in New York to discuss the year ahead.
Hey Chris! How are you? Thanks for taking the time to do this interview.
I’m doing good. Thank you!
You guys have recently started your tour with Banners and The Moth and Flame. How are the shows treating you so far?
Yeah! It’s going great. It’s a really cool tour. I’ve never done one quite like it because the bands have just put out new records or EPs, so each night the line-up changes - sometimes we’re headlining or in the middle. It’s hard to explain.
When [you] always opening or headlining, you start to have this rhythm that you logistically figure out when exactly you have to get to the show and you set all your stuff up. But now it’s constantly changing, so it’s kind [of] fresh every show. So that’s cool. It’s a little weird, but it’s so early on in the tour, so we haven’t quite gotten into the rhythm of it yet. But it’s interesting.
Motion City Soundtrack have announced they’ll be breaking up later on this year after a still-to-be-announced final tour. You can read a statement from the band below.
