Sadly, due to new ID rules recently implemented, about 40-kids are turned away on the door, but that doesn’t put a stop to the party inside as A Loss For Words return to Newcastle.

Interview: A Loss For Words
March 29, 2010
Hitting up the UK for the first time, Faye caught up with A Loss For Words frontman Matty Arsenault, ahead of their Newcastle show. The pair got talking about the tour so far, their debut album The Kids Can’t Lose – in particular, one ‘interesting’ response, the release of their forthcoming Motown cover record, coming from the Boston hardcore scene, and chavs.
Faye: How are things in the A Loss For Words camp today?
Matty: Good, this has been one of the coolest tours we’ve done, so I’m in a very good mood because I’m having such a good time.
Faye: You’ve been going for a while, and this is your first trip over, are you stoked?
Matty: Yeah, for an unsigned band like ourselves from America, and every night we’ve had a good lot of kids singing along and stuff, it’s been pretty unreal for us, so we’re very stoked.
Faye: Cool, so people have been familiar with you?
Matty: Yeah, some nights more than others, but there’s been some nights where there’s been like 10-20 kids that are going crazy for us and some nights there’s at least like 6 or something, so every night there’s been at least a few kids who know who we are, which is really cool.
Faye: How’s touring with All or Nothing and LYU?
Matty: Cool, I mean, basically, All or Nothing, they did a split with our friends The Wonder Years a while ago, so we were familiar with their music and stuff. When we got offered to do the tour with LYU and All or Nothing, we kind of knew that All or Nothing would be like our friends because we have mutual stuff, but LYU have really showed us such a good time, because me and our bass played ride with LYU, and the other guys ride with All or Nothing, so we all get the chance to get close and to know everybody. It’s been really fun. Great guys.
Faye: Did you have any expectations coming over to the UK?
Matty: I think we just came here with a clear mind, didn’t know what to expect and it’s definitely been better than what I could have ever dreamed of, it’s been great.
Faye: I thought you might have supported someone for your first time coming over, rather than headlining?
Matty: Yeah, basically, the politics of music, it’s so tough to get a favour from somebody, even though we’re friends with everybody, the business side of things always kind of gets in the way of stuff, but I think for our first headliner and tour, in general, over here, I think it’s been going really well. We’re trying to come back in September and do a follow-up. We’re trying to find another band to take us out, but probably it’s going to be us headlining again. I think we’re going to try do something with Not Advised and LYU, but we have to see what’s happening.
Faye: I noticed on your Twitter that you like British slang, what’s your favourite?
Matty: I like ‘chav’, I don’t even know what the equivalent would be in the US, but last night there was a chav at our show and we almost had to fight him, because he was drinking and was pushing all the 14-year-old kids and he was probably like 30-years-old, we just like, “Come on, man. Relax.” I don’t know, he was just the stereotype, and they’ve all been talking about chavs, like, “That’s a chav!” I understand now, I get it.
