We owe America something because they turned us into a touring band. But at least we feel confident about appearing in Britain again now. Hyde park was the first time over here for ages.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We didn't really expect to achieve anything outside of the UK, and it just went crazy. It's just crazy that people know our music. We're just humbled by it.
I think the U.K. is an amazing place and has been extremely good to me. Some of my favorite and most-listened-to bands are from England. I have met many good people there and have been in front of some of the most loyal audiences I have ever encountered.
I guess something that I've noticed from American acts who had success in touring is more of an explanation as to their music. Which is I think quite funny. I think British acts might like to leave more to the imagination - maybe a bit more obscure perhaps - a bit more shy.
The first time I toured the U.K. was in the early '90s with Billy Pilgrim, so I know how much the people there love music.
So, we went from being an Athens band to being a Georgia band to being a Southern band to being an American band from the East Coast to being an American band and now we're kind of an international phenomenon.
I love British bands.
We got a chance to go and play in some places that the usual European tour by an American band didn't go to.
I don't think I will ever do any tours again in the United States. I rather think that that's over with.
The situation in America is when it starts moving there, all the bands from England move over to America and work from there, so that they're available all the time for everyone that wants them in person.
I didn't spend much time in America, which probably was a mistake. To someone else, having a number one in America would be enough to get them touring.
