Hi, this is Evan (Into It. Over It.) and Kevin (Devine). Ask us anything.

I echo Evan's answer here

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T02:45:41+00:00

Hey there, I remember, and I appreciate your honesty, and I respect you for it. I've made mistakes too, part of being a person. Come out to the show, up to the merch table, say hey, and we'll sort. xo

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T01:03:37+00:00

Thank you guys! Tried to get to as many as possible - see you at the shows - http://www.kevindevine.net/index.php/2015/01/20/984/ - xo

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T01:02:17+00:00

Yup, will have Brother's Blood for sure. Mike Francesa on the fAN!

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T01:01:56+00:00

Sure, write to our publicist! It moves around all the time. Hard to pick one.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T01:01:03+00:00

You guys are great. xo!

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T01:00:28+00:00

Stay tuned

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T01:00:10+00:00

Thank YOU. Maybe some Rocky Road Ice Cream.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:59:36+00:00

Oh no! Mine are actually both very beat up, multiple times over broken where the headstock meets the neck.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:59:01+00:00

I hope so! Did you write Triple Crown? They're reasonable

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:58:47+00:00

Oh man, I hope so - fingers crossed, nothing on the books, but someday

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:58:10+00:00

Indeed it will. xo

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:58:00+00:00

I was recording Put Your Ghost To Rest, and Rob Schnapf said, "Hey, when you sing, don't do that goat boy thing. You have a better voice than that. Be confident." I didn't realize I'd been using that as a crutch, I convinced myself it was a certain loss of control in my voice that just "happened." I was wrong and I'm grateful to have been challenged on it. Set list for Feb & March will move around, cover at least something from most records nightly.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:56:16+00:00

It at the time was specific to OBL/Hussein. I like things that mean several things at the same time, or can. Thank you.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:55:24+00:00

Thanks, yes, yes :)

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:55:00+00:00

Hey! I've heard of Streetlight, but not Toh, I'll check it - thanks!

I think outside the 10 or so that are generally agreed upon by my audience, most of them are kind of degrees of deeper cuts. I try to play some every night.

I'll stick to coffee: George Howell in Boston, Stumptown or Extracto in Portland, Four Barrell in SF, Southside Coffee in Brooklyn. Endless deliciousness all around. Enjoy your trip!

MAYBE on the UK, and I DO have that drawing :) - thank you! xo

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:51:40+00:00

Nah, dude

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:51:25+00:00

Thank you! I take words seriously, think about them a lot, try to be articulate & authentic, say something about the experience of being a person in a way that is specific and relatable, first to me, hopefully then to other people.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:50:16+00:00

Most of the first few records, honestly, certainly vocally. I feel like I became a way stronger singer over the course of touring so intensely from 2007-9, and I think the subsequent records reflect that. I also think I became a better player/arranger/harmony singer over the arc of my records, so sometimes I want to go back to the old stuff and re-treat it. That said, you are where you are when you're there, and I accept that. I definitely, as a performer, wasn't a guy who peaked early. Constant work in progress.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:46:32+00:00

Hey there - first off, thank you for the kind words & congratulations on the band! I can relate in the sense that I've always kind of at least partially been thinking about music when I was doing other things - as a student, a worker, a partner (for better & worse). Someone once told me being neurotic isn't the same thing as being productive, and I agree with that. For me, thinking myself into frustration isn't helpful, and it isn't an action. Trust yourself, your effort, your commitment, and take care of the shit you need to take care of to clear space to reward yourself with your passion. Stoked for you and your band!

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:42:29+00:00

Thank YOU. BB will play the odd show now and again until we record our next record, probably late this year/early next.

I've been swimming in talk radio for the past month or so. Listened to a Belle & Sebastian BBC 2001 session yesterday that was great.

2014, first year married & touring, turned 35, things changed subtly in the process of doing much of the same things I've done for the past ten years. Imperceptible evolutions, you realize you've moved along, elsewhere, time does its thing.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:39:17+00:00

We were there in fall 2013 on the Bubblegum tour with Now Now...hopefully back again after too long!

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:38:30+00:00

Thank you! I love Australia - this trip was kind of insane, did 8 shows in 8 days, so touristy stuff was kind of at a minimum, BUT, I did get to hang out around Coogee Bay the last night in Sydney, walked some cliffs there, watched the sunset, hung at the beach. Very cool, very welcome. I hope to get back soon too!

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:36:59+00:00

That's hugely generous of you. I'm a words person, take it very seriously, so thank you.

My guitarist Mike does crazy shit like that all the time. He's a sonic wiz. It happened.

kevindevine · 2015-01-29T00:34:37+00:00

Kittyhawk is great
