Video: Friendly Fires interview at Bestival 2011
We talk about the band's Rizlab collaborations and more
Chris Eustace - 13 September 2011
Dance legends A Guy Called Gerald and Frankie
Knuckles were on the bill, while SBTRKT, Lone and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs represented the new school, and with the band
collaborating with all of the newer artists, you can see the anxiety that comes from having just two hours’ rehearsal
time.
He also takes us back through his experiences with the stage in the past, and how Friendly Fires
would always end up there after a playing a set, getting misty-eyed over DJ choices, and the importance of saying “Rizla”
in every interview (“I’m being paid money to do it!”).
Plus, as the random cue-card questions
come out, we find out who the diva of the band is, why you don’t want to buy Ed a cider, his plans
for the National Curriculum, the perils of falling foul of “drunken Bestival politics
bollocks” and an extremely professional sign-off.
Not only that Fires fans, the video also shows that, in
addition to Mr. Macfarlane’s tremendous dance moves and taste in shirts, he also has a amazing laugh.
