Sometimes you just want a good old fashioned concert that rocks and rocks it hard! That's what I found at the Honda Civic Tour, featuring Paramore, Tegan and Sara, New Found Glory, and Kadawatha. The concert as a whole had super high energy, a rapport with the crowd, and a down-to-earth feel. But one band stood out for me, and when you see band members flipping over each others' backs while they're still playing, how could they not?Drummer Cyrus Bolooki, from the pop-punk group New Found Glory, was kind enough to answer a few questions for Culture Brats. (I like him just for having the name Cyrus. And for being a drummer. Mmm, drummers.)
This was your second time on the Honda Civic Tour. How did you like it
this time around?
The Honda Civic Tour was awesome this year. Don't get me wrong, we loved every second of our time co-headlining the 2003 Honda Civic Tour with Good Charlotte, but this year's Civic Tour was very easy for us and extremely rewarding. The other bands on the bill were awesome and fun to hang out with, and everyone behind the scenes was super-professional and easy to work with. The biggest thing about this year's Honda Civic Tour for NFG was the fact that we were able to play in front of tons of new fans, both young and old, and the audiences all seemed to enjoy our music. That's something that's not easy to come by nowadays with so many bands/tours out there, so I think that NFG being on this year's Honda Civic Tour with Paramore, Tegan and Sara, and Kadawatha, was the best decision that our band could have made at this point in our career.
