We chatted with Shaun Cooper of Taking Back Sunday prior to the fest!
The energy at a TBS show is contagious. How did you keep up the stamina night after night?
Shaun: We are having the time of our lives up there. We really love what we do. We honestly can’t contain ourselves!
For those seeing TBS for the first time, what should they expect?
Shaun: It’s a party. For the hour and change we are up on that stage we hope you can forget about the stresses of everyday life. Adam our singer always talks about getting lost in the music. That’s exactly what we do. It’s an incredibly cathartic experience.
After the Sad Summer Fest, what is next for Taking Back Sunday?
Shaun: We’ve spent a lot of time at home these last 6 months. I think we need to play a lot more shows.
