New Years Day Interview with Ash Costello and Nikki Misery on Half Black Heart, Touring & Fake Blood

Damian joins Ash Costello and Nikki Misery from New Years Day on their tour bus. Ash and Nikki discuss their thoughts on touring the UK and EU, their experiences with live performances, and how it feels to be back on the road. Both share their favourite tracks from their album Half Black Heart, the pros and cons of studio vs stage, alongside insights into the life of a female musician in a predominantly male band. Plus, hear some wild tour stories, including a terrifying experience in Paris and a less then pleasant experience for Nikki with fake blood.
