"A tour is just fucking heaven for me,
even if I don't have like a lot
of money."
I think now that we’re beyond that,
we’re so close,” Salerno says.
While the camaraderie shared among
the members of Sojii is palpable, so is
the relationship the band shares with
ANKA. “They’re ride or die just like
us,” Salerno tells me, adding, “we’re the
little spoon to their big spoon.” I ask
if that’s something they kept in mind
as they’ve booked other bands across
their tour. “Spooning?” She quips. The
band mention Chicago punk band
Drool. “They’re definitely our little
spoon,” Salerno adds.
Speaking to the band, the force that
compels them is apparent. Of the thing
that motivates him, Olin says, “It’s
like a job… I don’t want to say a job
because it’s nothing like a job, but it is
like… it’s the same kind of dedication
and it’s the same kind of ‘I need to
do this’.” Describing her anticipation
Salerno says, “that’s what’s so amazing
about tour, that you’re with a bunch
of people, you were all born for this…
so like a tour is just fucking heaven
for me, even if I don’t have like a lot
of money. It’s just so exciting to wake
up in a new place every day and get
to meet new people and do what you
love, and share your shit, to people
who are interested… or not.”
