“I would say there is definitely points in the last few years where it has felt a little bit kind of, [sigh] we’re doing this again, playing in the same pubs and doing the same shows and that. But the band was growing just before COVID hit. We were starting to do bigger and better things so the hunger is definitely intensified for those better bigger gigs when we do get back. Definitely want to do a lot more practicing as a group and push it and promote it a lot better. I think we have learned a lot in this year about promotion and the online aspect of stuff, especially through the streaming and trying to promote our streams on a weekly basis.”
