Will Lindsay - A Page from a Tour Diary

The ever busy and versatile musician, guitarist/bassist Will Lindsay (Indian, Wolves in the Throne Room, Nachtmystium), honored us at Metal Review with a mini tour diary, and a list of the artists that kept him entertained during this (long) voyage.

Here's how the story began:

It was the spring of last year. Mr. Lindsay was touring with Wolves in the Throne Room, and I was the PR rep for a band that opened for them. We were all, naturally, early arrivals at the club, doing the paperwork, setting up merch stands, doing soundchecks, eating pizza that the organizers bought for us, drinking (mostly) free beer... And mostly, we were all just hanging out before the show starts. It is somewhere in between those beers and cigarette smoke that Mr. Lindsay and I decided that we had this very promising capacity of being good friends. And thus, good friends we became.
Not a year later, I ask Will if he would do Metal Review the honor of being our guest for the March edition of Staff Infections. At this time, Will is on tour playing bass for Nachtmystium, and he’s talking to me every day from another town he’s playing in. He’s also doing an insane amount of driving, and he’s listening to music while performing his driving duties. Once again, Mr. Lindsay and I decide it would be a good idea to present to our readers a fragment of what it’s like to be on the road, touring with several other bands. What is written below is just that, courtesy of our man Will Lindsay.
