Staind’s Aaron Lewis and Mike Mushok were recently interviewed by Loudwire about their live return and future plans. As previously reported, the band are currently booked to perform at Louder Than Life on September 27.
Lewis said the following:
“It was just a matter of enough time having gone by. We decided that we were gonna put a couple shows on the books and just start there. Just kinda dip our toes and see what happens, and look at this from a distance.”
Mushok continued:
“The time was right for us to take these opportunities and start making music again. There’s some great festivals coming up that we’ve played before, and doing those again is something we’ve talked about for a long time. Aaron and I both felt it was a good time to get back together and start playing these songs again.”
When asked about the possibility of new music, both were noncommittal about the idea, but Mushok is hopeful:
“That would be kind of the next step. “Right now, it’s just one step at a time. I’d love for that to happen, and I’m very proud of the stuff that we’ve done, and I love writing with Aaron. It’s just such a different day. I’m happy that we’re even able to go out and play.”
