Interviews: Riverboat Gamblers

Austin, Texas’ Riverboat Gamblers have been busy making a name for themselves over the past few years. After a few smaller releases, the band broke to a broader fan base with their breakthrough 2005 Volcom Entertainmentdebut, To The Confusion of Our Enemies, and never looked back. A constant touring schedule has kept them busy – touring all over the world in small venues, big venues and the occasional festival or two. One of those festivals is, of course, The Vans Warped Tour and 2010 saw the band play the entire tour for the second time. Touring in support of 2009’s Underneath The Owl with a recovering Ian Macdougall on guitar, Riverboat Gamblers were out there every day putting on a hectic performance that seems to, more often than not, end up with front man Mike Wiebe climbing all over the stage and speakers.

On the first day of the tour I caught up with the energetic singer to discuss his anticipation for the tour and everything he remembered from doing it before in 2005.
