Ho99o9 emerged from New Jersey to terrorise stages
IT’S BEEN AN INTENSE YEAR FOR YOU. WHAT’S BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHT OF 2017?
THEOGM: “Coming out here and performing with The Dillinger Escape Plan was a great fit. Those fans went buck wild, because they appreciate really hard music. That crowd was fun, the shows were action-packed – motherfuckers diving off shit and moshing. It was the most fun and the greatest time we’ve had out here, as far as supporting another band.”
EADDY: “I’d say dropping the album was a highlight, because we had been working on it for such a long time. And finally being able to release it and tour it in the States, and then to come to Europe and the UK was awesome. We sold out the Underworld – that was tight. Our first ticketed show in london, and it was sold out.”
WHAT WAS YOUR LOWEST POINT?
THEOGM: “I would say, looking into my refrigerator and not seeing food in it, ha ha ha! That’s been quite a few times. But besides that, we’re happy and jolly.”
YOU CAME TO THE metal hammer AWARDS IN JUNE. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER FROM THE NIGHT?
EADDY: “I remember Chris Jericho. Walls Of Jericho!”
THEOGM: “He came out in a light-up jacket. We took a picture with him at the end of the night. We came up watching wrestling, so him being there was just like… so funny.”
AND HOW WAS GLASTONBURY FOR YOU?
THEOGM: “It was tight. I mean, we played in a Tube! It was a legit Tube!”
EADDY: “We almost broke it.”
THEOGM: “Yeah. The first thing they told us was like, [puts on a mocking voice] ‘Please don’t stand on top of the Tube, don’t climb the Tube. If you climb the tube, the show stops directly.’”
EADDY: “I was like, ‘OK, I’ll stand on top of something else!’ I climbed the speaker and did a front flip into the crowd.
That was cool...”
