We weren’t aware until the day of the show, that not only The Maccabees were supporting Editors on their Vienna show, but also the Canadians of Wintersleep. Thus setting up the session happens rather spontaneously, with first talks after Wintersleep finished their set. The five guys from Halifax like the idea and opt for the morning after. So we pick them up at their hotel and head to some industrial wasteland, that perfectly fits the sad, grey November morning.
