DREAMERS:
SUMMER OF LOVE While on tour with 311 and Dirty Heads, I was able to catch up with the lead singer of up-and-coming indie band DREAMERS, Nick Wold, at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. We talked about music from their most recent album, LAUNCH FLY LAND, as well as inspiration for writing new music. Catch it all right here! To start, how has touring been for you so far? Tour has been amazing. It’s kind of just a summer of love for us. I was working way too hard in LA, so now I’m at my wits end, but this tour has been pretty chill. We only play for 25 minutes, so it feels a lot like summer camp. Have there been any really good dates or cities you love? Yeah! We got to play Red Rocks in Denver, which is one of the greatest venues ever! I hadn’t ever been there before. Yeah, I haven’t either. Up on a mountain; it’s everything it’s hyped up to be. That was a lifetime highlight, I think for all of us, to be there and feel the vibe. So I see that your music has started making it to radio stations recently. How does that feel? Yes! It feels crazy, like all the dreams from [my] childhood kind of connect me to that. It’s just one of those things. It’s been a while now that our songs have been playing on the radio, so you kinda get used to it. You hear it and you’re like, “Is that our music?” I don’t know, it’s surreal. So let’s talk about the latest release, LAUNCH FLY LAND. what was the writing process like for that album? We wrote that while we were on the road touring nonstop for two years. We’d be home for five days and try to write five songs. That’s how the title came out eventually! We had all been going through these crazy journeys in life like tragedies and successes, and just a lot of stuff that changes you. We wanted to write about that; the journeys that you go through. Are there any songs off the album that you hope everyone will resonate with?
