Jasmine from Epitaph Records asked if I’d be down to shoot Split Chain’s first U.S. headline show at TV Eye.
I said yes—but only if I could spend the whole day with them. I get a little nervous before things like this; I tend to go all in with people right away, and sometimes that energy can be a lot. But they were totally on the same page. Everything flowed—karaoke, doodles, pizza. I wanted to cram everyone into the photo booth, but it was sadly out of order.
Earlier in the day, we’d joked about stage dives and how some people just don’t get stage etiquette.
Sure enough, once the band got on, two kids started aimlessly wandering the stage like they thought they were part of the show. Eventually one guy got the memo, I pointed to one of them and said, “See that dude? He’s your responsibility. Keep him off stage.” He just smiled and went, “Got it.”
