00:00Estuvimos conversando con Frank Healy acerca de lo que será este show,
00:05también un poco del proceso creativo de la banda,
00:09ya que vienen en diferentes ciudades del nuevo álbum del grupo y de mucho más.
00:16Bueno, Frank, es una gran honor hablar con ti.
00:21Estamos muy felices de verte en Paraguay el próximo novembro.
00:25Entonces, ¿qué puedes decirme de este show que estás llevando a Paraguay
00:31por la primera vez en la historia de Travis?
00:35Realmente, esto fue muy final de la hora,
00:38porque estábamos listando el tour y luego se llegó.
00:42Y todos estamos tan felices de que llegamos a un nuevo lugar
00:49que nunca hemos visto antes.
00:51Y lo que digo cuando un band viene a tu casa,
00:57es como si te gusta el banda,
00:58es como si te gusta que viene a tu casa y te pilla en el orr.
01:02Y van a salir, mientras te llega a un buen día para dos horas,
01:04y luego se ve una noche y te van.
01:06Y es así, es como Old Friends.
01:09Y también, nosotros ponemos un buen canción,
01:13que obviamente, si eres un fan de Travis,
01:16tú se acuerdas de los comentarios.
01:17Te ponemos de nuevo también.
01:19Y también, eso es solo para estar en la reunión.
01:22Creo que esto nunca hablo de muy hablado de mucho, pero
01:28somos muy muy un band que thrives en este
01:32estar en la reunión, en la misma hora.
01:36Y es un poco a lo que tiene que hacer con música,
01:41pero hay mucho más algo que está haciendo,
01:45como cuando están juntas con gente,
01:46y hablando, y sharing tus pensamientos y tus ideas, o lo que sea.
01:53Así que estamos muy contentos de eso.
01:56¿Es algo que te gusta hacer como band cuando llegas a un lugar que has nunca habido?
02:06Um...
02:08Soy un poco de un...
02:11No sé si puedo admitir esto, pero...
02:16When I go anywhere, I'm a poor boy, right?
02:20I never went, I never went any holidays, I didn't know how to be in a hotel, we didn't, I was
02:27poor so I didn't, we didn't go anywhere, we didn't go to art galleries, we did nothing,
02:33we just played, we played in the streets.
02:36And so as a grown up, when I go to new places, I tend to stay in my hotel room because I just
02:43don't, I'm a little bit like, I don't know what to do.
02:47What should I do?
02:48Tell me what I can do in Paraguay when we come, tell me.
02:51And Fran, I want to know about Brandon Flowers and Chris Martin being part of Raise the Bar and I don't
03:00know if you ever talk with them about how Travis in some way paved the way for bands like Coldplay,
03:09The Killers, Keen.
03:10Yeah, well, I think we definitely, Travis, I don't know if we paved the way but it seems
03:20to be the musical, this is, it would be one of those bands would have gotten out somehow
03:26and we were the first ones.
03:27I remember being in Glasgow and we didn't have a record deal, pardon me, and we were,
03:36there were all these bands going around and I remember, you know, one of them would get
03:42a record deal and I'd get really sad like, oh, we're never going to get a record deal,
03:47you know, we're never going to go on to the next bit.
03:51And it's what you, it's kind of what every band dreams of, so in the same way, Keen, Coldplay,
04:00we're all, we all just, everyone inspires everyone else and so having Brandon and Chris on the
04:08record is lovely because yeah, we were kind of the first band out of the gates and we inspired,
04:18both bands and, but they inspire me back, like I was talking to, I heard that really great
04:25song that Coldplay have out, We Pray, which I love.
04:30And I texted him, I texted Chris to say, man, you know, you know that feeling when someone
04:39writes a song and half of you is like, oh, that's amazing and half of you is really upset
04:46because they've written a really good song and you've not, you know, and, uh, he, and
04:52he said, well, that's how I felt when, when you played me raise the bar.
04:55So it was nice.
04:57Yeah.
04:57We're still inspiring, we're still inspiring each other, you know, all the bands.
05:02And talking about raise the bar, but the other meaning of raise the bar, there is a conscious
05:09thing that to say, we're going to raise the bar on this new album, on this new tour in
05:17some way.
05:18Absolutely.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Well, the truth of the matter is that, um, a few years ago we changed our, um, we had a
05:26manager and we changed it.
05:28And for a long time, up until that point, we had a, there was a certain thing that we did
05:37and then there was a lot of people on our team that were really, um, how can I say, encouraging
05:45to, to, to be, just be who you are, you know, do it, you, do you, be you and, and this really
05:51helps artists and then they, as, as a career goes on, people go away and people move away
05:57and other people come in and, and it's just, it's like a, an environment to be creative
06:03in and we weren't in the right environment to be creative in.
06:07So we changed it.
06:08Um, and we, one of the big parts of that was getting rid of our manager and, um, and then
06:13getting our band back to us, you know, like we found ourselves again, I mean, I'm having
06:18fun again, I'm dying my hair, stupid colors again, um, um, the shows have been amazing.
06:24The, the creativity has been astounding, the, but it's, it's, when I say astounding, I mean,
06:32it's been fun, it's, it's been like exciting again, um, so it's been really, really good.
06:40So yeah, absolutely.
06:41It's, it's definitely raised the bar.
06:43We're trying to raise the bar.
06:44We have raised the bar.
06:46Yeah.
06:47And, and what are you expecting from this touring in Latin America?
06:51I don't know if you feel the, the audience here different from other parts of the world.
06:57Well, I don't know, Glasgow, Scotland, I don't, have you ever been to Scotland?
07:04No.
07:05Right.
07:06So it's quite a similar, well, maybe in Glasgow more than anything where I'm from, when people
07:12go out to a show, when I was a little boy, my grandfather said to me, when all of the singers
07:20like Sinatra and Tony Bennett and Nat Kinko, all those guys came through Glasgow.
07:25They loved Glasgow because if Glasgow loved you, you were like the, like God, people just went
07:36crazy for it.
07:37But if they didn't like you, oh my God, forget about it.
07:41They would, they would let you know, you know, they would throw lettuces at you or, you know,
07:46tomatoes.
07:47So we have a very passionate people in Glasgow.
07:51And I think what I've noticed in Central and South America is that there's a similar
07:57passion for life, for music.
08:02And I don't know why that, why that is, I think both countries are maybe rich in the things
08:11that money can't buy and put in the things that money can buy.
08:17And when that happens, people celebrate life a lot more, you know, they want to have a good
08:21time and they're like, fuck it.
08:24And I think, so we're a band from a similar kind of atmosphere.
08:30So when we come to any place that is the same as our, where we come from, it goes crazy.
08:36It's always really good because like we go on every night and we play, we play like it's
08:43the last show we're going to play because you never know.
08:47You never know.
08:48It's maybe your last show.
08:49So wouldn't it be shit if your last show was really like, nah.
08:53So we go out and we like, I sing like it's my last show.
08:57We play like it's the last show.
08:59And it's lovely.
09:00It's lovely.
09:01I really, I'd love to see a Travis concert.
09:04I've never seen one, but I feel that we make a very special connection.
09:12I definitely make a, I love to talk to people and just feel everyone's feelings and it's
09:22really cool job.
09:23Yeah.
09:24Well, Fran, it was great to talk to you.
09:28We have to wrap this interview, but I don't know if you have one message to the people here
09:35in Paraguay.
09:36Um, my message to Paraguay would be sorry that it's taken so long to come to see you.
09:46We, we really, uh, we can't wait to, to get up on stage and, and play these songs for you.
09:56And we'll see you soon.
