20 Days and Counting! An Interview with Addison
In Los Angeles, before 69 Bottles started their 12 Weeks, 25 City, 32 Show Road Tour, I sat down with Addison Beltrand. We talked about the upcoming tour and what she expects from the tour and hanging out with 5, sexy, hunky rock stars as the only female aboard a tour bus.
Here’s what we talked about….
Zoey: Hi Addison – I’m Zoey, it’s a pleasure to meet you.
Addison: Same to you.
Zoey: So I have to ask, how does it feel to know you’re going on tour with America’s hottest rock band?
Addison: (laughing) It feels surreal actually. I’ve barely had 48 hours to process all this and now here I am.
Zoey: I’d be lying if I said I’m not jealous.
Addison: I thought you were coming along? (she looks puzzled)
Zoey: (laughs) I am, but I’m only tagging along to observe and write about what I see, the things that happen, from your point of view. So while you’re having a great time, I’ll be recording everything.
Addison: Should I be scared?
Zoey: (snorts a laugh) Petrified. (both laugh) So, what’s something you’re most looking forward to on this tour?
Addison: Tonight’s concert. I know it seems trivial – but I’d planned on going anyway, now I’ll be seeing 30 plus shows. But the first time is always the best.
Zoey: Yes it is – So then what are you looking forward to least?
Addison: (turns around and points to the bus) Being stuck on their for twelve weeks. I value my independence, so the idea of being stuck on a bus reminds me of school trips, being chaperoned. It’s not exactly my idea of a good time. Then again, maybe I could get some reading done. I think my biggest problem is going to be boredom.
Zoey: (snort) I can see that. So you’re a reader? What kinds of books do you like to read? What are you currently reading?
Addison: I am, an avid one at that. I spend a lot of time traveling and sleepless nights, so I spend a lot of time with my Kindle in my face. I love romance novels, of course. I love the hot heroes and sexy heroines. But most of all, I love the love in a romantic story. Currently I’m reading a book called Poughkeepsie but a brilliantly funny author. It’s not the first time I’ve read it.
Zoey: I know that book, it’s one of my personal favorites and I completely understand what you mean about the romance in a romantic novel, it’s why I read them and of course why I write them. (Addison smiles) So, you’ve worked for Bold for a number of years, taking care of musicians is your specialty. What would you say is your favorite part about your job?
Addison: Meeting new clients. I don’t get to work with a lot of the big names, but the ones I do get to work with are very humble, at least in the beginning. I’ve known a few that have let their success go to their heads and they get bitchy. Though I’ve always managed to keep my own head and turn a few of them around. 69 Bottles is the first extremely successful band I’ve had the privilege of working with, so I guess we’ll see how this goes.
Zoey: I’m so excited for you. I really hope this journey turns into something you wont forget. Once this story is written, I plan on publishing this interview, you know to help build up the hype. You’ve met the band already, so what do you think we’re going to enjoy along this journey?
Addison: Well, Dex is quite the character. He’s cocky as fuck. Pardon my French. (she laughs) But I have a feeling his junk is going to get him into trouble. Mouse is quiet, but I think he’s what I like to call a sleeper. Strong and silent, but he’s the guitarist, I mean come on. (she giggles) Peacock is, well he’s the mystery. I look forward to trying to unravel what he’s got inside his head. Kyle (she pauses) well, there’s something about him that makes him familiar, though no matter how hard I try and figure it out, it’s eluding me right now. Not to mention the fact that he’s ridiculously attractive, I’m having trouble concentrating around him.
Zoey: So what everyone is dying to know, what about Talon?
Addison: (blushes) Talon is gorgeous. I just want to run my fingers through his hair and my tongue along his jaw.
Zoey: Addison (I scold her)
Addison: What? He’s damn gorgeous.
Zoey: (laughs) yes he is. I’m not sure I can concentrate around him. I’m suppose to interview him too.
Addison: good luck with that one Zoey. I suggest you come up with your questions first.
Zoey: (laughing still) Yeah, I’m going to have to figure out something. Addison, this has been so much fun, thank you for taking time out of your busy day for me. I look forward to our long chats coming up over the next few weeks.
Addison: It was great to meet you, I’m looking forward to our journey, oh and some book recommendations.
Zoey: (smiles) you got it girl! Thank you so much, I had fun.
Addison: I did too, thank you Zoey.
