Laura Pleasants (Kylesa)
SPB: When you're on tour, how is it decided (or who decides) where you'll eat?
Pleasants: The promoter generally sets the schedule. Sometimes they will ask when we would like to eat and then we'll decide on the spot.

Interviews • March 7, 2026

However, I believe that this fact is part of their appeal where in other bands' cases, it would be a detriment.
