I love you guys! I've seen you a few times here in the UK and you always put on an awesome show, I caught the show at the Parish in Huddersfield last time you played there (you picked the name I shouted for one of the team names but you completely misheard me!), awesome venue! Any plans on returning soon? I'll always make time to catch one of your shows!

Also, you guys also released a split record with Five Iron, how did that come about? And I think you've supported them or are going to? Are you guys all good friends? Do you think you could get FIF to come to the UK?

Keep it up, Day Job is an awesome album!

Hi I love you guys.

1 what is the best breed of dog 2 I know MCBC (or someone else?) supports Liverpool, as everybody should, how did you get into supporting Liverpool? How long have you been a fan? Who is your favourite player in the current squad? And most importantly, do you think this year is our year?

Good luck with everything ! I’ve backed the Kickstarter and I’m looking forward to everything to come!

Well, we all wished hard enough for FIF to get back together and it happened! I'm glad you remember the mayor in Huddersfield, he was a blast!

Thanks for your answer, and on behalf of everyone in the UK, thank you for rocking with us and we very much look forward to having you again! If you can, try to get to Leeds, great city! And I'm totally not saying that because it's where I live

Hi Kevin, I saw you with my brother and a friend in Manchester back in February and I wanted to thank you again for an amazingly engaging show and I hope that you can make it back to the UK regularly. I talked to you after the show and you are the most humble, compassionate person, and I want to thank you for listening to me. You wrote 'One day at a time' on my copy of Brother's Blood and I welled up when I read it. Thank you for being you and doing what you do.

A few questions, I guess:

  • When you played Brother's Blood here you sang 'across the blackbird sky' as opposed to bluebird, how did that come about? I thought it was interesting I guess and I sing it as blackbird in my head when I listen to it now!

  • What is your favourite breed of dog?

  • How has your day been?

  • What is an old song of yours that you haven't played for a while you'd like to bring back?

Hi Kevin, a few questions!

On the Ally Coalition podcast you were on you mentioned there were some of your songs that you love that aren't exactly fan favourites, what are they? And how often do you work them in to sets?

I’m heading over to America in the summer and I’m hitting Boston, NYC, Portland, OR, and San Francisco, could you recommend me any must see things? Best places to eat, or anything else? (Anybody can feel free to answer this!)

I know you’re coming back to the UK in May now for a festival, I was wondering if you were planning any more dates over here? I saw you four times last year (thank you so much for spending so much time over here !) and it is never enough.

My last question is one I’ve wanted to ask for a while but I always feel dumb, but have you heard of Toh Kay? He does head a band called Streetlight Manifesto, but he has done solo stuff too with some really impressive guitar work and nice lyrics, I feel like you might enjoy his work, but I know you probably get about 100 people telling you to listen to 800 different artists a day. Here’s a link to a song, if you’re interested at least.

Again, thank you for your music, your spirit and your words. I always enjoy seeing you play and talking to you after shows, keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you for drawing this for me, too. (Do you still have the one I did for you?) And if you’re back in Leeds, Manchester or Liverpool give me a shout!
