Nick Lowe’s Touring Plans

“I’ve noticed far more younger people at the shows — a lot more women as well,” Lowe mentioned to Spin in 2023. “It used to be mainly bald old men stroking their chins to see how much rock and roll there is in it. [The young people] like the old stuff well enough, but they couldn’t care less, really, about [its release date]. They just take each song on face value. One of the songs that goes over great is ‘Trombone,’ and that’s a new song. I have this kind of jokey thing that I say to the crowd ‘We’re going to do a new song, but don’t worry, the new stuff sounds exactly like the old stuff.'”
