The Faster Times: What songs are you having the most fun playing again live? Why?

Stephen Patman and Andy Sherriff of Chapterhouse: We’ve really enjoyed the opportunity to revisit some of the songs that we didn’t think were produced well on record. Our later stuff [like 1993’s “Blood Music”] got a bit overblown with technology and we decided to strip things back and approach the songs in a more straightforward ‘band kicking some ass’ kinda way. We’ve also had the ability to cherry pick our favorite songs and do them some justice. I think people will be surprised at the songs we’ve chosen as we always preferred our B-sides and less “radio-friendly” material. We aren’t trying to sell anything. so we can play whatever the fuck we want. It’s a great freedom.

What cities are you most looking forward to playing this time around?

It’s hard to be specific since we’re looking forward to each town for different reasons. I’m looking forward to NYC and Toronto as I have some great friends in those cities and I’ve spent a lot of time there. I’m looking forward to Chicago, Boston, LA and San Francisco for the precisely the opposite reason–in that I haven’t been to those cities for a long time and want to check them out again.

This time around was a short North American tour with Ulrich Schnauss that brought Chapterhouse to one of their favorite US cities (NYC) for two shows: one at The Bell House on 10/3 and a second at Le Poisson Rouge on 10/4 with A Place To Bury Strangers(who next play NYC at Death By Audio on 10/26 with Japandroids) and Soundpool. The pictures in this post are from the LPR show. More of them, with Chapterhouse’s and APTBS’s setlists, below…
