Brown also would also talk about the idea of the ‘tribute band’ use for marketing:
“It’s just one of those things that is sacred to us, you know? This is no tribute band – Philip and I get to play these songs of ours that we haven’t played in 23 years. And to be able to do that and connect with the enormity of what’s happened is just extraordinarily fu..ing insane, you know?”
As for the future of the band Brown stated:
“You’ll see this band go and go and go and go. There’ll be a bunch of new songs in the set in 2025, maybe even this year… I ain’t givin’ it away.”
“The set list we’re doing now, goddamn, it’s powerful, man. And I hate tootin’ my own horn, dude, you know… we’re just happy to be here, man, it’s a privilege to be here. I’m honoured and I am grateful to be here, and that’s all I gotta say, man.”
