Interview - Kyle Falconer (The View)

Written by Sal Wilcox


Sal caught up with The View frontman Kyle Falconer and spoke about their up and coming tour, album and a few other little things you may not know about the leading man from The View.....


What's  different about this album compared to the others? 


I'd like to think we've stayed true to our roots. The only thing that's different with this album is that we've had more time to work on it. Usually we've got loads of dates or we want to make as much music as possible. With this one though, we've been able to focus and take our time with it. Some of the people who have listened to it said it's a bit more mature than our other stuff too.

So you guys are going on tour soon. What are most looking forward to with regards to the tour? 

Just being able to hang out with the boys really. We've all been so busy that it'll be nice just be able to hang and play together. Just doing what we all love really. 

If you could join any band and play anything in it, which would you choose and why?

Ooooh definitely Fleetwood Mac and  then guitar, because then I could spend my time with the awesome Stevie Knicks.  


What's the best and worst part of band life?

Best part is probably making music and actually seeing it come together. Like when you're playing it and it actually sounds like a song. Then people's reaction to it when you play it live is just amazing. The worst part is the hours.

Would you rather: never play live music again or never be able to listen to recorded music again?

Ah fuck! Erm, I dunnoArgh that's such a hard question! Probably never listen to recorded music again. I suppose you could write and create your own stuff and play with people.
