| Emma Anzai and the Sick Puppies |
Perhaps the biggest compliment that you can pay to a festival such as Summerfest isn't mentioning that it's the largest music festival in the entire world. Yes, this is a huge feat considering the size of the festivals in Europe, but it’s still not the biggest compliment. The biggest compliment must be that every musician we seem to talk to views playing Summerfest as one of the highest honors that a band can receive.
This idea is no different for the talented Emma Anzai, bassist of Sick Puppies. Aaron Manogue spoke with Emma about what an honor it is to play Summerfest, her past experiences there, and what's next for the Australian rock ‘n’ rollers.
Aaron Manogue: You guys are slated to play Summerfest on July 6. What's it like to be able to play the at world's largest music festival and play on the same stage as some of music's most talented musicians?
Emma Anzai: It’s pretty surreal and I don’t think it’ll ever stop being that way for us. We can’t wait to check out the artists on this year’s lineup.
AM: This won't be your first time at Summerfest. Are there any cool stories or things you remember about it that you can share?
EA: I remember seeing Paramore a couple years ago, and the crowd was huge. We stood up on the tables and chairs that were there to catch a view, and we hoped one day that would be us up there.
