On the joy and chaos of hometown shows
The big thing with any San Francisco shows is always managing the guest list and all the people that come out of the woodwork and all of sudden are your best friends and it's like, I love every minute of it. There's no greater time to see all your best friends at these gigs. Golden Gate Park is [an] awesome, awesome setting. I mean, it is a phenomenal setting. The organization that they put into it, the whole thing with the food, the wine, the tent, the whole vibe there is so fucking next level that you know, all we've got to do is just show up and make sure that we're firing on all 24 cylinders. Finding inspiration to play hometown shows is never difficult, and we're always fired up.
On playing Golden Gate Park for the frst time
We've played Kansas State, we've played, what it is called, the Sweet AT&T the site where the Giants played. We've obviously played Oakland. We've played every indoor building and every club and theatee and so on. We've never played in the Golden Gate Park ... so it's another privilege. Obviously, any chance of playing in Golden Gate Park, which has been the site of many legendary gigs over the decades, it's obviously a super cool thing. We rearranged the whole summer schedule just for this.
