Young Guns say their London bus album launch was a “hare-brained” scheme that ended up being an unforgettable experience.
The British rockers released third album Ones And Zeros on June 8 and played five gigs aboard a double decker bus as they drove around the city.
Frontman Gustav Wood tells TeamRock Radio: “It was one of the many ridiculous ideas that we try to conjure up. That was a lot of fun. We’re trying to things that are interesting and new and a little different. That was a hare-brained scheme that ended up coming to pass.
“It was an intense day. We were on a London double decker bus for about eight or nine hours and played five times.”
Young Guns play Jake’s Stage at Download tonight (June 12) after they were confirmed as one of the weekend’s ‘secret’ acts.
