  • Interview with Ronnie Vannucci (Big Talk/The Killers) – For Arthur’s Day

    Ronnie Big Talk 1On Thursday last, Arthur’s Day, had the great pleasure of speaking to on quarter of one of the biggest bands on the planet, Ronnie Vannucci, drummer with The Killers. Yes, he of the greatest facial hair in rock. We chatted about his new band/sideproject Big Talk

    The poor fella had just arrived from Las Vegas and was starting to feel the jetlag and it should still have been the middle of the night for him. But tons of coffee and a view of the River Liffey from Arthur’s Day HQ, helped him along the way.

    Really laid back guy, like him. He also did a kick ass name check for me. Prepare to hear it on ‘puter box/ transistor soon. Check out the interview over on Goldenplec.

    I really wasn’t expecting to be so busy this week. I heard at the beginning of the week that there might be a possibility of doing some interviews for Goldenplec with artists who were over for Arthur’s Day.

    As I was free I said I’d be up for anything..turns out I had a ball!

    First up on Wednesday I interviewed The Brilliant Things who recently signed to Universal and this was nothing to do with Arthur’s Day. The band’s debut album is being released on October 7th. I might add I don’t think I’ve ever interviewed a band who laughed quite as much! Hilarious!

    From there I headed towards Arthur’s Day HQ, stopping off at the little coffee shop for a little bit of extra research before my scheduled interviews with Bitches With Wolves and BellX1. It was also good to have a chat/bitch with Aidan who runs Goldenplec, we don’t get too many chances.

    James from Bitches With Wolves is so adorable, the world needs is a decent popstar and fashion icon who isn’t Lady Gaga.. I vote James in! Lovely guy with great hair and he gives great hugz. (more…)
