An interview with Emily Haines | part 1 (no blindfold)
BrooklynVegan interviewer Christos Mountzouros had the chance to speak with Emily Haines over the phone the other day. Here’s a preview of their conversation — it’s especially relevant to the short solo tour Emily kicks off at Joe’s Pub in NYC tonight…
BrooklynVegan Christos: Another Joe’s Pub show had to be added and they’re both sold out. How exciting is that?
Emily: That’s good! I’ve always wanted to play Joe’s Pub!
BrooklynVegan Christos: Are you really going to be playing blindfolded? Isn’t that hard?
Emily Haha, no I’m not. I did that once and I keep getting asked about it.
BrooklynVegan Christos: Yeah it’s like on their site that you’re going to be playing blindfolded.
Emily Are you serious?
BrooklynVegan Christos: I guess someone got their press screwed up somewhere at some point.
Emily That’s really funny. Yeah that would be hard, I did that a show in San Francisco. But I’m playing with a rhythm section as well.
