Adam went straight to Melbourne, Bebban went to Los Angeles. As soon as we were done we all kind of left to see our loved ones, wherever they were in the world. We got caught on this carousel of touring. “We were touring so much and we just needed a break from everything. The brief hiatus raised questions as to the future of Shout Out Louds, but the break was in their best interest.
#Too short shout it out free#
It’s a very free way and nice and you get to see a lot of things and it kind of takes you away from everyday life.”įollowing the release of Our Ill Wills in 2007, the band’s willingness to tour the album extensively proved exhausting, necessitating time to recharge and escape, as Carl describes it, “feeling a little like cirus people”. Until that one hour of the day, you can do whatever you want. “I like it because there’s no real problems… your days are all about one thing, and that’s the show. He groans, but only before paying tribute to the bright side of life as a travelling musician.
“It’s both good and bad, being on the road,” Carl muses. It is, for better or worse, the norm for a group that have spent nigh on a decade together. The Swedish troupe are all too familiar with the demands of such committments, well-accustomed by now to a grueling, self-inflicted work ethic. “But I am glad to spend it in Australia.” It is just another night!” he posits, with dry humor, before reaffirming his excitement. “To me it’s just one of those things with too much anticipation and it becomes nothing, really. The idea of spending New Years abroad in a land far, far away isn’t fazing Carl, however. The band are due in Australia later this year for another whirlwind tour of club shows as well as a coveted slot on the Pyramid Rock bill. “Me and Adam (Olenius, Shout Out Louds singer/guitarist) are staying a little longer actually just to hang out, just to fuel up.
“I enjoy coming to Australia for the warm, when we’re having the worst time in Sweden, so that’s going to be really refreshing actually,” he declares, fondly. A short chat with Shout Out Louds’ guitarist Carl von Arbin confirms a shared anticipation. How lucky we are as punters that a sunny season of the best international and local acts awaits us, a summer already revealing its splendours to a once barren Melbourne.
