\"We<\/a><\/p>\n

We The Kings<\/span><\/strong> are going from strength to strength, following the release of their third studio album \u2018Sunshine State of Mind\u2019<\/em> in 2011 and the ’<\/span>Party, Fun, Love & Radio’\u00a0<\/em>late last year, they recently made their return to the UK, before heading to Europe and then continuing to work on their fourth album.<\/p>\n

We caught up with lead singer and guitarist Travis Clark<\/strong> before their London show, to talk about his piano teacher refusing to teach him, the music industry and what would happen if his laptop were stolen.<\/p>\n

Already Heard: Here in the UK in the last 12 months we have seen record labels close and our last high street music specialist retailer threatened with closure. You are only a little bit younger than me I believe and in our lifetimes alone, the music industry has seen significant changes in its makeup and approach to marketing, selling music and what makes money. What do you think are the main positive and negative features of the music industry today?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: I think this next decade that we\u2019re living in, is going to be one of the biggest changes; it\u2019s going to be the most talked about thing for a very long time. On how the music industry was able to stay alive and stay afloat, with downloading of music and the internet; about how easily accessible it is to get music that you used to have to pay for. You used to have to buy the CD, tape or vinyl y\u2019know, back in the days so, I think the pros and cons that are in it are that obviously as a band, you are able to spread your music to people outside of where you\u2019re physically at at the moment. So right now I could pick up my phone and post a song and somebody in Japan could hear it within five minutes and that is incredible. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So you build this fan base, this army of fans all around the world that you have to eventually tour to go and see; the problem is there are thousands and thousands of bands doing it, so competition is hard. So for a band like We The Kings per se to get it to the next level, like where I see a band like Coldplay or The Killers, huge bands; how do I get We The Kings to that point, especially when more and more labels and distributors are closing down and becoming less relevant For us it has always been just like, it\u2019s easier when you don\u2019t worry about that stuff, when you just do what you are good at, play music, enjoy life, meet the fans, show your appreciation and then go to the next show. So that is kinda like what we\u2019ve always done, is we\u2019ve never been stressed out about it. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For the younger bands that are out there it\u2019s tough, it\u2019s really tough for them to\u2026bands are making records out of their own pocket so, it is tough for labels because they can\u2019t throw a million dollars into an artist anymore, because it is going to be impossible to get it back and so they won\u2019t do that, they\u2019ll just put money into bands that have already made it, to try to get them to the next level. And then for younger bands, they are able to do the songs themselves, but then getting them to the next level of people, which the labels are particularly helpful for, they can\u2019t do it, because they already have the record. It\u2019s a vicious circle, but I think this time of music that we are living in is going to be talked about for a very long time of how we got out of it. And I don\u2019t know the answer to the music industry.<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I would just say that there are the fans that will always buy music for the rest of their lives but the more and more that people are born into this world of music where, the common person doesn\u2019t go out and buy the record, they download it, okay, eventually it is going to be that the common person doesn\u2019t even download it for money they go and find it for free and get it that way, which is the end of sales for music, but the reason we are talking right now is because we flew to London and now we\u2019re playing a show , THIS you cannot download for free, like you can look at it on YouTube, but it\u2019s just not the same as listening to a CD. If people wanted to listen to a CD, they would stay at home, put headphones on and listen to it, but we\u2019re here and we\u2019re able to perform a show and you\u2019re able to feel the energy, to see the sweat, to hear the flaws and everything and that is one reason a rock show is so great to go to. So this will always be music\u2019s outlet, music\u2019s escape, y\u2019know. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So as long as we continue to write good songs and to stay relevant in the eyes of our fans, as long as we stay an inspiration, then I don\u2019t think that we\u2019ll ever have a problem with wherever the music industry decides to drop.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"We<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/span>AH: You are obviously inspirational for some up and coming musicians, who dream of reaching the success that you have had. How did you initially learn music?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: I started playing piano when I was four years old. We had this old rusty piano at my parent\u2019s house. I would um\u2026I guess from what I remember I just\u2026I remember hearing songs and I would try to play them y\u2019know on the piano.<\/em><\/p>\n

My parents said that they would pick me up from school and they would take me home and I would run straight to the piano and I would try to play the song that I had just heard on the radio, or whatever we were listening to and so they were like, when I turned five for my birthday, they gave me piano lessons and then I took piano for seven years of my life. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

My piano instructor ended up refusing to teach me because I was taking songs by Mozart and Beethoven and Bach and all these notorious composers and pianists and I would go into the recitals that I would train for and I would change up the songs and make them my own y\u2019know. It would be the song, but it would be in the way that I wanted to do it and so he had to sit down and have\u00a0 conversation with mum. Mum thought I was in trouble, but he was like \u201cno these are signs of a songwriter and\u00a0 what I fear is that I am going to teach him too much, to where he\u2019s not going to be able to think outside the box, he\u2019s going to be so formatted into a robot that he\u2019s not going to be able to create music. He\u2019s doing so good at it so far and that at the age of 12, so just let him go.\u201d So he refused to teach my anymore and that\u2019s when I picked up the guitar.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

My mum was kind of a singer songwriter, nothing too big or anything, but she loved it, that was something that she really enjoyed doing, so I started learning guitar to keep playing music and to write music and I really wanted to get a girlfriend, so I started the band, \u2018cos I thought that was the best way to get a girlfriend. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I thought band members were so cool and I called my best friends after; I think I saw Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World and Green Day and I called my best mate after that show and I was like \u201cdude I know how we can get girlfriends, we\u2019ve got to start a band, this is our way,\u201d so we started We the Kings right then. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Through a website actually, we kinda come from the internet world, but through a website our manager found us. We were the number one unsigned band on that particular website and he was like \u201cy\u2019all got a shot\u201d and sent us and email and was like \u201cdo you guys wanna play a showcase for labels?\u201d And so he flew us to New York and I played acoustic for eight different record labels. Two weeks later we had eight different record label offers wanting to sign We The Kings and we chose what we felt was best and it was a really good decision y\u2019know, even looking with hindsight now and here we are five years later.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: If you could have a jam session with any artist or band dead or alive, who would it be and why?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: It would be 100% The Beatles. The Beatles are the reason that my mum started music, she taught me music. She taught me every single Beatles song that she knew, when I wanted to learn how to play guitar. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

They were so ahead of their time, it was incredible how and why they wrote music. The stuff they wrote about was unique and powerful and it changed to world, they really did. They are a band that can say they changed the world with their music. It\u2019s timeless, that music will be popular forever. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

They\u2019re the biggest inspiration and they have so many stories, I mean they put out so many songs that every song has a different story and on some recordings you can hear them just hanging out in the background, smoking, or just talking and that\u2019s just\u2026it\u2019s so real, it makes it feel like it really happened and that it wasn\u2019t just some super group that was put together by a huge label, it was just four incredibly talented human beings that had no idea what they were doing, they just did it and it was awesome. So I think to jam with them would be so revealing, maybe not to jam with them but to be a fly on the wall, that would be awesome.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: If you could pick any three musical artists\/bands\/groups of any level to go on tour with who would you choose and why?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: My super tour? I would want it to be Food Fighters…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: Good choice<\/span><\/strong>
Travis:\u2026I would want it to be\u2026.is this dead or alive?<\/span><\/p>\n

AH: It can be yes.<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: I\u2019ll do alive, because I\u2019ve already done my dead band, we\u2019ve done dead. My live roster would be Foo Fighters, it would be The Strokes and my third band would be, well I have to do Coldplay \u2018cos I just want to sit and watch those guys rock their socks off. We would definitely headline of course.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: Well yeah it is your tour so you can do what you like!<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: Everyone would leave before we play!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

AH: Are there any songs in your catalogue that you don\u2019t ever see yourselves playing live again?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: Yeah there are a lot of songs actually. I mean it is unfortunate to say that but the more and more that we put out records, the less\u2026the more time that we are allotted to play live, but even in like an hour and a half we can only play like 14 or 15 songs.That\u2019s five songs from the three records that we have put out that people want to hear. So there\u2019s\u2026each record has 10 or 12 songs, so there\u2019s roughly 11 songs on every record, so there\u2019s six songs from every record that we\u2019re not playing, but we\u2019re still playing a really long set. We\u2019re almost dead at the end of the thing, but once we put out our forth record y\u2019know it\u2019s gonna be like four songs from every record and that is 16 songs so it is tough. There are some songs that they have to be just like, this is a really good record song, but I don\u2019t know if it will translate live to the fans. We play the songs for the fans and if we don\u2019t play what they want to hear then what are we doing?
<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What bands have been doing lately is doing a tour for their record, like their very first record, where they play every single song from the record and that\u2019s the time and place to play songs that maybe you\u2019ve never played before, or only played a handful of times. That\u2019d be something to look forward to but 2007 was our first record so we still have some\u2026a good five years!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: You have travelled around the world a fair bit now. Are there any words you have heard that that have stuck in band and crew lingo, be they daft words you have invented or, foreign words that got confused via the language barrier that you have just picked up? <\/span><\/strong>
Travis: We all just live the dream as our kind of motto of the band. We are so grateful and appreciative of what we have, but I think we have adapted a lot of different words from other cultures and other languages that we use like \u201clegal\u201d which in Portuguese means \u201ccool\u201d and so sometimes we will randomly be like \u201clegal\u201d to anyone else that isn\u2019t bilingual. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

And then we have a chant before we go on stage which is like a mix between \u2018Cool Runnings\u2019 the Jamaican bob sleigh film and \u2018Anchor Man\u2019 and a couple of other different movies and that is weird, people look at us and are like \u201cwhat are you doing?\u201d and we are not allowed to ever say it outside of the chant so it makes it special. Other than that we try to adapt to different things to make it our own.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: There is a significant element of fun to many of your videos do you as a band come up with the ideas?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: We do, even with like the little web videos that we do, everything is sparked from an idea that we\u2019ve had and it makes it fun that way, it makes you feel like a part of the thing and not just like a puppet.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

With a lot of the videos we\u2019ve done, we\u2019ll think of an idea and then we\u2019ll have a director or producer come in and say oh, \u201cthat\u2019ll be really cool if you also do this\u201d and then we bounce ideas off of people who have done this stuff before, so that we know what we are doing and that is nice as well. It\u2019s nice to get feedback from other people who\u2019ve done hundreds of videos in their career.
<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

As far as coming up with the idea, like, I\u2019m the one who wrote the song, I know the lyrics, I know what the song is about more than anybody else, so it would make sense that I put my two cents in.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: What is the one thing you do not go on tour without and what is the one thing you wish you could bring?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: The one thing I wish I could bring with me is my dog Elvis; he would be awesome and just hang out with me the whole time. I even have little headphones for him that I brought so he can listen to the show. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The one thing I can\u2019t live without, I bring my computer, it sounds so like an automatic answer to say, but I write everything on my computer, so it\u2019s always with me. If it were to be stolen, there would be countless songs that would be lost or released illegally that aren\u2019t ready to be released, but my computer means a lot to me and not in the technology way, but in the material that is on there. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: You do meet and greets at your shows. What is the most bizarre thing that has ever happened or that you have been given at a meet and greet?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: The most bizarre thing that we have ever had to sign was a silicon implant of a girl\u2019s breast. She was getting ready to have a breast implant, fake boobs, and wanted us to sign the implant before they went into her and we were all like, this has got to be unsanitary, there is no way this is really gonna happen, but we didn\u2019t even like question it twice, we just signed it and the whole time we were so blown away that we didn\u2019t know if it would really happen or not, because it sounds so weird. That\u2019s the hands down, most bizarre.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

AH: What question have you never been asked that you wish a journalist would ask and what would your answer be?<\/span><\/strong>
Travis: I think the easiest questions are always the best. Like if someone were to just say why, like why do you do this. We always get questions of like, how are the songs written, or where is your favourite place to go, or who do you want to collaborate with, or when was the best moment, but not too many people if ever have asked why, why do you do this as a band and why is it important to you or something like that. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s simple, these are just, this is my family, they\u2019ve been with me and trusted everything I\u2019ve done for an incredible amount of time, almost too long and even trhough some of my mistakes and most of my good moments, they\u2019ve stuck by my side and backed me up full force and that\u2019s an incredible thing to say. And the fans who listen to our music\u2026from being a band in a garage, never expecting to make it this far it\u2019s absolutely unreal that we actually made it, that I\u2019m actually sitting here in London. Every day we wake up and I\u2019ll kinda go through the day and then I\u2019ll be like, oh my god, I would be, I forgot that I\u2019m doing this. The answer to the why is simple, but it is so in depth because there is so much that you want to say. That would be the question.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
