Tour videos are often a great option for a lot of bands, and it’s easy to see why Half Sight chose to do that for their latest offering, ‘The Brightest Son’. You can watch the video below, and the band offered some insight as to why they decided on a tour video.
“The Brightest Son is probably one of our favourite tracks from our debut album,” explain the band.  “It’s a great one to play live with plenty of energy, which is why we picked it for a tour video. We put this video together from footage that we shot on our tour of mainland Europe at the end of October.  This was our third time playing in Germany and first time in both Czech Republic and Hungary, so we had to make this one count and overall it’s an experience that we won’t forget.
“There’s a very different vibe playing on the continent, as well as playing in squats and all other kinds of unusual venues the level of hospitality that we receive every where we go always blows us away,” the continue. “Everyone is so welcoming and prepared to bend over backwards to make you feel at home, which is really refreshing.
“When it comes to touring we try to do things ourselves as much as possible, from booking the dates to driving the van and even down to putting this video together – in the long run I think it makes the whole experience a lot more rewarding.  We’ve made some great friends on tour – you meet so many people at each gig but when you get to play a few dates with the same band that’s when real friendships can be formed.  We also met some strange characters on this tour, who were mainly middle aged drunk English blokes who couldn’t wait to share their wisdom about the countries or cities that we were in…”
Half Sight’s debut album, ‘Rhetoric’, is available now.
