EW: So on your last trip toSNL, you got to play three songs, which rarely happens.

Howd that come about?

Thomas: Actually, we didnt want to!

Laurent: We didnt have enough equipment to play more songs.

Christian: They asked us one hour before the show.

So we said, No, sorry we cant!

And they said, kindly!

Deck: And then we realized that saying no was not an option for these people.

Christian: So we said, Okay, well then we need this very specific kind of keyboard.

And then twenty minutes later, a guy came and was like, I found it!

So then we had to do it.

Laurent: Unfortunately, you’ve got the option to find anything in New York City.

Thomas: And we actually played four songs we played one more afterward.

Any chance youll do three again this time?

Thomas: Well, if it becomes a common thing, its not that exciting.

You hear the saxophone, you’re able to be happy.

Maybe this time well want that more than the first time.

Laurent: ButSNLis still a lot of fun.

So, are you sufficiently excited about the bands return to Studio 8H tomorrow?
