A biography for Winston Marshallhasn’t been written yet.
“We get accused of inauthenticity because we play the instruments we play.”
“The less I try, the cooler I am.”
“Things got big quickly for us, and playing arenas... it's like - and every band will tell you this - you don't see any of the town.”
“It's always great to see grey hairs in a crowd; people who are older have been to a lot more gigs than the kids; they've seen everything, so seeing them in the crowd means we've earned their applause.”
“One of the things we say in this band is if it's not fun, it's not worth doing.”
“I don't understand how those old bands did it. We worked out early on that if we did three gigs in a row and went out afterwards, we'd lose our voices. We know our limits.”
“We're not, like, hard men.”
“We're not all Christian, so we can't be a Christian band.”
“We know what we like in music, and we got into music to try and give back what we got out of it.”
“We formed the band because we wanted to tour. That was our common interest.”
“My dream is to tour for 50 years.”
“New York - it's the center of the world.”
“We were copying lots of bands, like Avett Brothers and Old Crow Medicine Show.”
“I've seen the Stones play for three hours, and the crowd knew every song. It's what you want in a headline slot at a festival.”
“The day we struggle to enjoy what we do and just get the gig over with we'll quit.”
“When we first started touring, we were going to these towns we'd never otherwise go to, never otherwise see, and that's sort of why we like being in a band. But we started playing these bigger rooms and not even seeing the towns.”
“I became obsessed with Simian Mobile Disco's music and poorly attempted to make my own techno music.”
“The trick to techno, as a connoisseur, is that you got to do two things: keep your hands down and your mouth shut.”
“I want to bring UCB to England. We don't have anything like it.”
“England's just very cynical.”
