This article came across the wires today from Contactmusic.com. Coldplay is a favorite band to many, unfortunately I find them a little melancholy and really only like one of their songs (Fix You). But whoa! I think this is pretty cool. Here’s the writ-up!
Rockers COLDPLAY have revealed the unusual hobby they have taken up to help them unwind on tour – sewing.
Frontman Chris Martin claims the Yellow hitmakers have bonded while stitching their stage costumes, and insists their secret pastime has made them a more tight-knit group.
Martin says, “Making clothes together in our studio makes us feel complete. We probably sound like a group of grannies in a knitting circle but it’s the truth and it gives us some control over our visual identity.
“We see if they have a sewing kit in the amenities draw in case we feel inspired.
“When you are a big band and everyone is taking shots at you, the more things you can do together the better.
“And if you’re wearing uniforms made by your own hands it helps.”
No wonder their costumes are so awesome! I would love to have their creativity combined with a skill like sewing!
