Benny Intereviewed at Irish Music Site

New Jersey outfit The Gaslight Anthem make their long awaited return to Irish shores on June 17th and 18th at the Olympia in Dublin. After extensive worldwide touring of their new album ‘Handwritten’, Niall caught up with drummer Benny Horowitz to talk about everything from blogging and Dave Grohl to Nickelback and parachuting royalty.



Hey Benny, how are ya?

I’m doing well thanks.

These two shows in Dublin in June are the first time you’ve played in Ireland in over two years. What’s taken so long?

Well, really it’s just scheduling. I mean it’s no kind of aversion to going to Ireland. I think the last two tours, apparently the availability of the places people wanted us to play were no good. That’s about as much as I know about it.


You do enjoy playing here so…

Oh yeah yeah [laughs]. We’ve always had remarkable shows in Ireland. We like the country, the people, the shows. But there’s a lot of places in the world, you know. I mean if it’s any consolation I’ve probably spent as much time in Ireland lately as I have in New Jersey.

Is it hard to keep motivated out on the road or would you like to spend more time at home?
