Music Mag- Feature: Eden Poole- In memory of
In Memory of’s Eden Poole popped into the mosh. Office this week to chat with us about the bands upcoming UK tour.
Who are you most looking forwards to hanging out with on tour?
“Well, we know the guys from Your Demise, we’re good friends with them. We love them, they’re going to be so much fun. And we recently got to know Dead Math, they seem lovely. Pierce the Veil we’ve never properly met, we hear they’re party animals, so I think that’s quite exciting.”
Is there anyone you aren’t looking forwards to spending large amounts of time with? Any irritating traits…?
“Well I would say each other but we spend 24 hours a day with each other… Actually yeah, I take that back, the other 4 annoy the hell out of me. Especially Hassan…”
What can fans expect from your performances on the tour?
“Well I think we put on a pretty good, fun live show. We try to get the crowd involved as much as we can, and just try to give them half an hour that, hopefully, they won’t forget in a while. We devote as much energy as we possibly can to playing live. I think it’s the most important element, the most rewarding thing about being in a band.”
Who in ‘In Memory of’ would be the worst to be trapped in a tour bus with?
“Definitely Hassan and Adam. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone to be honest with you.”
Have you ever had anything thrown at you on stage, good or bad?
“No one’s ever thrown anything at us, but once a chicken was let loose on stage at Bestival last year. That was interesting.”
Is there any particular venue you’re most looking forward to playing at?
“I’m really looking forward to playing the Roundhouse. I used to go there as a kid and it’s near where I used to live so it’s a special place for me.”
Any plans for after the tour?
“We’re going to the studio the day after tour, to record our album. We’ve got a show with You Me At Six on March 2nd, and me and Adam are doing an acoustic set in Camden, but apart from that, for about a month and a bit, we’re recording the album, so a lot of work.”
Finally, what’s the best aspect of touring?
“Walking on stage is the best feeling. The anticipation gives you such a huge buzz.”
