White Lies on success and what have you
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 29 June 2009
White Lies have been talking about having a good year of it, and have concluded that they deserved it.
Bassist Charlie Cave told Absolute Radio: “All the things we’ve achieved we can instantly relate X number of hours of immensely hard work to. Whether it be touring, which means the ridiculous logistics of planes to and from places and 16-hour overnight drives. Whatever it is, I certainly honestly don’t feel as though any of the success we’ve had over the last year has not been deserved in comparison to the work we’ve done… we’ve worked really, really hard.”
I feel duty bound to say, at this point, that plenty of bands, and indeed, non-bands, work that hard, are talented and clever, and never, ever achieve that level of success.
Of the the band’s upcoming shows supporting Coldplay singer Harry McVeigh added: “The Coldplay dates are going to be super exciting for two reasons. One, because we’re obviously supporting one of the biggest bands in the world. But also, the other support is Girls Aloud and Jay-Z, which is going to be amazing”.
