"In the Spotlight" with Stråle

Av Creative reader - 5 december 2024 09:43

Hi and Welcome to another "In the Spotlight"

Today I have the HUGE pleasure to introduce you to a band that is Currently on their "Motocultor Festival European Tour"

Welcome "Stråle" and thank you for taking time from your hectic schedule to spend this time with us.

What would you say is the biggest difference in preparing to go on a full Tour rather than a gig at your local place?

Oh, there is a lot of things to prepare. How to transport stuff, to print merch and to make sure that all the paperwork is done. It’s kind of the same but just in a much bigger scale.

What are the ups and downs with being on tour?

Well of course the biggest up is for sure to meet old and new fans. To connect with the people and do what we love most. The downside is to be away from friends and family and also that sometime it is hard to find your personal space, especially on a big tour like this with 5 bands for 17 days.

Is there a "crowd favorite"? That one tune that the fans expect you to play and what are your favorite memories from the tour so far?

Since this is our first tour in Europe most of the audience don’t know us. But so far we have gotten really good response on Close is not enough I’d say. For me personally one of finest moment was after one of the show, a couple came to e and the guy said. You made my wife cry. I asked if it was a good thing and they both answered together: Yes. To be able to touch someone with your music in whatever way it is is truly a blessing.

I have been following you on social media and seen some of your posts, You have such a energy about yourself, what is your secret?

Thank you! I dont know if there is a secret, but for sure there is a good drive in the band and we always want to give it our all when we do something. What’s the point of doing it if your not doing it well.

How long have you guys been playing and how did you meet?

Stråle started in 2009 as a partyband, doing covers and playing for fun. But through the years Stråle has changed into something new. Some band members have changed and we started to write our own songs, but the core of Stråle have always been the same. We’re doing it for the crowd.

Who would you say are YOUR biggest heroes in music? Where do you find your inspiration?

Thats the beauty of being in a band. I think we could find 30 bands that has inspired both as a band and individual. And very different artists too. For example Amorphis, Sentenced, Slayer, Rage Against the Machine and also our new found Romanian friends of the band Dirty Shirts

Other than the tour, what are you currently working on and what are your plans for the future?

The big thing is that we’re releasing a new single in 11th of December and on next year we will focus on finishing the album and present it to the world in a proper way.

Describe your music in five words for those that haven't listened to you yet.

Metal, Melodies, Magic, Emotions, Fun

What is the one thing you want your fans to know?

That we always do our best. No matter if its 3 persons or 400 in the crowd. We will be playing for you!

What is the one thing you want the music industry to know?

That a hard one. But one thing is that we want to be professional and friendly to whoever we meet. And it’s like a dream working with us :D

That was my chat with Stråle

I hope you are one of the lucky ones that have the chance to see these guys live on their tour!
