On April 1st, John 5 and The Creatures will be playing at Calico in Wilmington NC. Ahead of that show the Port City Daily<\/a> caught up with The Creatures “from the road to talk about their tour, the new album and visiting North Carolina again.”<\/p>\n

“But I love the stage experience. I love playing music with people really close up. I do enjoy playing in front of the crowds with the Rob stage, but the front row is 50 feet away sometimes. In a small show, I can put my head down and it can rest on someone\u2019s head. Those are cool things. I love that stuff.<\/p>\n

Because when I was a kid, I would go so people that were in major bands that were playing tiny shows, in small clubs. And I will never, ever forget those shows.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
