Sinds 25 februari is Stef Burns weer op tour in Italië met bassist Walter Latupeirissa en drummer Juan van Emmerloot. Op de vroege zaterdagmorgen van 7 maart spraken we de bandleider voor een kleine update over de tour. Net wakker heeft hij goed nieuws: er is een live dvd opgenomen en er zijn al plannen voor een nieuwe cd. Met nog zeven concerten te gaan is de tour ruim over de helft maar hij blijft razend enthousiast. Een korte update vanuit Lu Monferrato in Noord-Italië.
"Its good man. We're playing our asses off here once again."
Juan told me about the dvd. When do you expect it to be released?
"Well, we recorded the full show in Torino. We have to look at all the footage first and see how the audio turns out. Yes, I will be editting it in San Fransisco later and hope to make something good of it."
Are you playing a lot of songs of 'World, Universe, Infinity'?
"Yes, but also things we haven't played before. Some songs of the first album ['Swamp Tea', red;] and stuff from The Beatles like Dig a Pony from the 'Let it Be' album and Stevie Ray Vaughan's Couldn't Stand the Weather that I haven't played since 2000 or so."
What's the thing that stood out most for you so far?
"I guess it must be the joy of playing with the guys. Also the people are enthusiastic and the concerts are great. We have fans here that drive like 300 kilometers to see a show! We are still growing here and keep building the audience. The first concerts in Germany were awesome with double encores. We really want to continue playing with this band. Even more over Europe in Germany, Holland and of course the other countries."
And what's next for you after this tour?
"I'm going back to SF and do some shows with Huey Lewis and The News. In April I will be back in Italy to do some clinics and after that back to the US to do some writing for myself, my projects with Peppino D'Agostino and perhaps Vasco Rossi as well. Work on the dvd and after that another tour with Hueye. And I will try to take Holidays with my family too!"
Holidays? You have time for that?
"I'll make time for it, man!"
