Toronto's Cuff the Duke are currentlyl on tour supporting their new album Morning Comes, and we recently caught up with the band at the halfway point. You can catch Cuff the Duke in Edmonton on Friday night as they head east across the country to Ontario. They're playing with Hooded Fang.
Q&A with Wayne Petti
Best thing about touring
TRAVELING CANADA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD PLAYING MUSIC.
Worst thing about touring
BEING AWAY FROM HOME. TRUCK STOPS. WEIRD SMELLS IN THE VAN.
Some crappy or creepy thing that has happened to you on the road
WHEN OUR VAN BROKE DOWN THREE TIMES IN ONE TOUR AND ULTIMATELY HAVING TO DITCH THE VAN AND RENT ANOTHER VAN TO GET HOME.
Favourite thing to eat
OUR FAVORITE THING TO EAT ON THE ROAD IS ANYTHING NOT FOUND AT A TRUCK STOP.
What awesome place should we know about?
BOUN THAI IN EDMONTON IS ONE OF THE BANDS FAVORITE THAI FOOD RESTAURANTS.
Most interesting person you have met on the road
David Suzuki
We love stories – embarrassing, scary, good natured we want to hear one
EMBARRASSING - OUR OLD TOUR MANAGER HAVING TO STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF AN UPSET STOMACH. HE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF "BUSINESS".
SCARY = TRAVELING IN A VAN
GOOD NATURED = WE HELPED A STRANDED MOTORIST CHANGE A FLAT. THEY'VE BEEN COMING OUT TO SEE US PLAY EVER SINCE.
Music, silence, games – how do you keep busy in the car?
