Meatstock Artist Focus: Royal Chant

Answered by: Mark Spence     

Tell us your best BBQ-related memory: I feel like I could simply say "Dothan, Alabama", and hope that anyone who grew up in the Deep South like I did would understand exactly what I mean.

What's your favourite thing to throw on the BBQ and why? Corn on the cob. I'm a sucker for sides and you never have to fight over them.

If you had to use one BBQ/meat-based dish as an analogy for your music, what would it be and why? One of those delectable brisket sandwiches that are smothered in heaps of sauce. I'd like to think our music is tasty and likely to leave your clothes stained.

Will you ask for meat instead of booze on your rider? Um... no. If anyone from the band gets hungry they can forage/pillage/plunder from the other acts. We've got good ninja skills.

What are you hoping to take away from Meatstock? Keg stands with the backstage crew. Pics or it didn't happen.
