The Gaslight Anthem interview with SPIN Magazine at Bonnaroo

I wonder does he know who Lily Allen's godfather is?

Alex was kinda shoved out a little there lol.

Am I the only one who though, "Woah Katy, bring it on!"

Bring it on jokes will still be funny, especially since Katy is peppy like a cheerleader.

i liked the australia bit - sounds like they could be coming back soon.

I was there. They left out quite a bit of the interview on the video. It was probably about 20 min long. They said something about returning to Australia soon.

Other things of note left out on the video:
-Brian addressed living in NY and said he'd probably be moving back to Jersey
-Brian talked about the "anti-nostalgia" of "Old Haunts" (via audience question) and said that it was because his mom told him he was always living in the past or the future...said the song wasn't anti-59 Sound nostalgia or anything like that.
-Also on people they had met they mentioned The National and The Hold Steady

Did my best to paraphrase what I remember...

As for Alex saying he botched those two songs, I've always said they were an honest band.

And simo, did you take any pics?

Who don't you think knows who Lily Allens godfather is ?

Sure did. I will upload them when I get home!

I got pictures of my with Brian and Alex R. but I won't upload those because I look embarrassingly awful in one and Alex R. looks embarrassingly awful in the other! Good memories though.

Gaslight performing...I was really far back and only got to see 4 songs

Brian having too much fun at the Harley Davidson Tent


Leaving on the golf cart...

I forgot this good picture of Brian:

Brian mentions hanging out with Lily Allen. Her godfather is Joe Strummer.

i know he's her godfather, i just wasn't sure who you meant by 'he' as in brian, alex or the interviewer.

i'd feel confident is saying that he'd know that.

brian on the motorcycle! that's what he tweeted about xD

thanks for the photos; at least you got to see Brian on a Harley; did you get to talk to him too?

Just briefly as they had to rush off but enough to say hi, good show etc. and take a picture with him, as well as Alex R.

Let's just say I'm sure Alex R. will appreciate me not posting his picture.
