Enter Shikari Chat To I Like Music


ILM: But you were still the second ever un-signed band to sell out the Astoria?

Rob: Yeah, don't get me wrong, that was massive for us! But before that we had done three and a half years of solid playing. Hundreds and hundreds of little shows to the sound guy and his girlfriend. Literally, there'd be so many gigs where it was just the bands watching each other. Every gig is a learning experience. Honestly, you can't beat experience. You've just got to get out there and do it.

ILM: Turn yourself into more than just a local band?

Rob: Exactly! The thing I get annoyed about with local bands around here is that they play so much around St Albans, they never go anywhere else. Lot's of people come to watch them in St Albans but they don't try to get a following anywhere else. They never go up North, they never go to the Midlands or to Scotland. That's what we did. When we started we literally booked hundreds of gigs wherever we could. By the end of it, people were coming to us with the gigs and we could literally pick and choose the ones we wanted to do.
