Interview: Set Your Goals
December 30, 2009
During Set Your Goals‘ recent headline stint in the UK, Faye sat down with their chirpy co-frontman Jordan Brown, ahead of their Leeds show, where the two had a long chat about the release of This Will Be The Death Of Us, including its plethora of guest vocals and how they leaked it themselves, as well as getting arrested with Fireworks, and their love for Popina’s!
Faye: How are you today?
Jordan: I’m good, I’m really good, I’m happy to be in Leeds.
Faye: Have you been to Popina’s cafe today? I know you’re a fan of their English breakfasts.
Jordan: We went to Popina’s today, but I actually missed out because I slept in, but everyone else went and, yeah, they definitely had their fill of the Ultimate Breakfast Challenge, that’s for sure.
Faye: Did anyone accomplish the mega breakfast?
Jordan: I actually haven’t asked if they did it this time, Dan usually tries it and he can’t make it past the blood sausage, it’s usually where he ends. It think we’re yet to actually have a successful member of our band do it. [Shouts over to Dan Coddaire – guitarist] Did anyone take that breakfast challenge today and beat it?
Dan: Phil [SYG tour manager] was the only one who actually ate it and I don’t even think he was trying to take the challenge, I think he just wanted a lot of food. I did it once, it was fucking tough, it took me like an hour.
Faye: So, you’ve been touring with Broadway Calls and Fireworks for the past couple of weeks in Europe, how’s that been?
Jordan: It’s been really good, Europe was a lot of fun. I wish we could have played some more countries, but everywhere we played was great and I we’ve got about a week’s worth of shows left here, I think there’s seven left. It’s been awesome, it’s cool being out with Broadway Calls, it’s our first time getting to know them outside of Warped Tour, like being on an intimate hang-out tour and that’s been really cool. Fireworks, I don’t think we’ll ever stop touring with them, they’re some of our best friends.

December 15, 2009
While it’s freezing cold outside, this show is going to be anything but, as Set Your Goals, along with Broadway Calls and Fireworks, roll their vans into Glasgow, for what’s guaranteed to be one hell of a hot and sweaty night inside the sold-out King Tut’s.

Live Review: Leeds Festival, Bramham Park, 28th – 30th August 2009
September 4, 2009
Well, here we are. Three days of unbridled musical joy spaced out over 6 different stages encompassing every genre imaginable and whetting the appetites of tens of thousands of avid festival-goers. This is Leeds Festival, the culmination of the UK’s festival calendar, and a grand display of the UK, and beyond’s musical expertise. Expectations were high. Tickets prices even higher. The amount of fat blokes in wedding dresses even higher still.
