Smashing It Up On The Big Stage With XCALIBRE

Smashing It Up On The Big Stage With XCALIBRE

Interview by Kris Peters
Not many bands get to celebrate the release of their EP by sharing the stage with two of the biggest bands in the world, but that's exactly what awaits Melbourne metal outfit XCalibre this weekend when they open The World Is A Vampire Festival in front of their home crowd and headlined by The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane's Addiction.
With EP1 seeing the light of day just last week, XCalibre are already riding the crest of a musical wave and were more than happy to sit down with HEAVY to discuss this Saturday's performance.
"We're pretty stoked to be on the bill with these dudes," Dan smiled. "We've grown up with them and had their posters on our wall so we're stoked to be a part of it."
"They're iconic bands," added Vinnie. "I know we're just opening up, but shit, it's not being on that bill (laughs)."
In the full interview the boys explain what something like this means to them as a band, which of the two headliners they are bigger fans of, the Australian bands on the bill and getting to play with them, having so many local bands on an international festival, use their song titles to create a wrestler and his moves, the response to EP1, what it contains musically, what fans can expect from their set this weekend and more.
