Devilskin - Q & A with Nail Vincent from Devilskin

11 Apr 2017 // An interview by jdiddynz

I briefly caught up with Devilskin guitarist Nail Vincent after Devilskin's London at Underworld on 22/03/17 for a cheeky Q & A session, here’s what went down:

1. How did you enjoy the show tonight?

It was a great show. We had a blast, it was so awesome to see some familiar faces from last time as well as some new ones.

2. How has the tour been going so far?

The tour has been going great, we have been really looking forward to getting back to the UK  and this time around we've managed to get to some different towns as well which has been nice. The UK crowds have been really receptive to us.

3. Any stand out moments?

Yeah having a noisy crowd right here in London chanting for an encore is a pretty cool moment. The crowds at home chant for us and that’s so awesome but to hear it on the other side of the world is something else.

4. Who have been the stand out support bands?

Eva Plays Dead have been on tour with us and have been nothing short of professional. Everyone in the band has serious chops and they have smashed it every night.

5. Favourite venue so far?

I would have to say the O2 Academy in Birmingham.

6. You guys have been spending a lot of time in the tour van what do you do to keep yourselves sane?

Honestly trying to catch up on some sleep takes priority. It’s a matter of catching up when you can. We also listen to music and watch the occasional movie

7. How have the new songs from Be Like the River gone down with audiences?

Really good. It’s been awesome to see people singing the words back to you, even in Germany we were getting people singing along to the songs, such a great feeling!

8. What's next for Devilskin? 

Next up for us is to concentrate on some song writing and begin the process for the next record, We're looking forward to sitting down together and coming up with some new material. It’s always an exciting time for us. We also have a couple of shows coming up in Ireland with Airbourne as well as performing at Download festival.

9. What's in your pockets right now?

Lint.

10. If you were a sausage what flavour would you be?

A chilli chorizo.

About Devilskin

Devilskin formed in June 2010 in Hamilton New Zealand and features the spectacular Jennie Skulander on lead vocals. Her powerful and compelling voice and alluring stage presence sets her apart from any vocalist New Zealand has put up so far. With an unerring gift for melody, Jennie's incredible voice sweeps from whisper to roar, rips with power, drips with melody and captivates with sincerity.

Jennie previously fronted Rotorua band Slipping Tongue garnering a swathe of fans with their videos, EPs and album. Slipping Tongue also impressed many when they opened for Coheed & Cambria in 2008.

On lead guitar is Nail from the popular Waikato band Chuganaut who won the NZ Battle of the Bands and the World Battle Of The Bands in 2004. Played BDO in 2005 and opened for Iron Maiden at Mt Smart stadium in 2009. Chuganaut has played numerous national tours and released several singles, EP’s, videos and an album. Nail's searing guitar work and high energy performance bring real intensity to the live show. Nail also performs with Beckoned.
