Interview by Kris PetersUS party rock outfit The Midnight Devils are a band who seem to be always on the move. Follow their socials, and hardly a week goes by without another gig in another part of the world popping up, with the good time trio operating by the old school mantra that a band lives and dies on the road, bleeding for their art.After two previous visits Down Under, The Midnight Devils have today announced a run of shows this November, following on from last year's highly successful national support with Bon But Not Forgotten. But this time they return with fellow US rock outfit BLVD OF EYES, joining Brisbane noise merchants Awaken The Hate on an East Coast tour to remember.The two bookend dates announced so far already promise to be huge, with a cruise of the Sydney Harbour alongside Frankies World Famous House Band, Audio Reign and more set down for November 23 and a massive one-day festival line-up including Dreamkillers, PistonFist, Engraved, Kaosphere and more set down for Soapbox Beer in Brisbane on November 29. There will, of course, be other dates, but for now let's just celebrate the fact that The Midnight Devils are coming back.HEAVY caught up with enigmatic frontman Sam Spade to share the excitement."We've been on tour since basically we left Australia," Spade began. "We're on tour right now, and we can't wait to come back and see you guys. It's like a dream come true, over and over and over again. We are so excited. We can't get there fast enough. This tour is wrapped up right now in the USA, and it's just been incredible supporting that same record that we dropped in Australia the last time we were there, So Hard It Hurts. The brand-new single out is Shock The World, so everything's going great, and we can't wait to come back."In the full interview, we run through the two shows announced in greater detail, discuss The Midnight Devils current US tour, the reception for So Hard It Hurts, the beauty of being on the road, why Australians can't get enough of the band,exciting future plans and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
