The boys of Egypt Central are ready for their first Band Camp appearance this Saturday at Willow Island. Hard Rock Review's Aaron Manogue sat down with vocalist John Falls to discuss Summerfest, WJJO Band Camp and their latest album.
Aaron Manogue: What’s it like to play Summerfest and Band Camp and these huge shows alongside other great bands that are out there today?
John Falls: We’ve been fortunate to play Summerfest before and this will be our first Band Camp. We’ve played for JJO quite a few times so to finally get an invite to Band Camp is awesome. But it’s weird on the festival circuit you get to know everyone pretty quickly because usually it’s the same bands that are out at that time. That’s another cool aspect of it is that there’s ten to twenty bands that happen to be putting out records that year.
AM: What has WJJO done for you guys and how big of an honor is it to finally play Band Camp?
JF: Most definitely, it’s flattering to finally be playing. It’s definitely an honor. We’ve been told for years that we have to come to Band Camp! And not even playing it, you know? Just come and see it and see who is playing.
