Interview With:: The Karma Killers [Warped Tour Edition]
Interview conducted by Kara Kokinos.
We sat down with Micky James and Mango of Island Record signees, The Karma Killers, in the historic Jones Beach Amphitheatre to discuss how their first run on Warped has been going, how their sound has come together and what the band has planned next! The new boys on the block have been getting lots of love from the community and are creating quite a buzz with their imaginative spin on good old fashioned rock’n’roll!
LOL: This is the first run of Warped Tour you guys have done. Have you attended the festival before as audience members or was this a crash course in all things Warped?
Mango: Nah.
Micky James: I’ve been before, a couple of times. About nine, ten years ago.
LOL: What’s it been like, having the perspective shift as a fan to an artist playing the tour?
MJ: Well my taste in music has definitely changed.
(all laugh)
LOL: Oh, I’m sure ten years will do that.
MJ: It’s still really cool though. This tour is really legendary. It’s been meeting expectations, but I don’t think I really had any (concrete ones) going into it. We needed something to do this summer and it just so happens that this fell into our laps., and it’s been a great opportunity for the band.
