Artist Interviews Miami Horror
Before Miami Horror's sold out show at Schubas, CHIRP's Dylan Peterson caught up with Ben Plant down in the venue's basement green room. The band's founder talked about what it's like to go back and forth between the U.S. and their homeland of Australia throughout the year, explained why it's impossible to categorize Miami Horror's style, and disparaged Burning Man and video games.
