The pretenders tattooed love boy5/3/2023 ![]() It's an interesting thing, getting people to know your music. Before you were in a band, did you feel more alone? Absolutely. I love to connect with other human beings, because I know that what I feel, I don't feel alone. People want to say how much the music has meant to them, and I love hearing that - that is why I do this. There's only so much you can do when you meet someone for a couple minutes. It's them wanting to connect with us, which I think is really important. What are your fans most excited about? Having been on the other side of the merch table at one point in my life, I can certainly see the excitement of being able to attempt to connect to the people whose music you listen to in private all the time. Plus the tour is a little bit more well known last year. It's nice to know that all our hard work is paying off. We've improved in our performance, and that's been pointed out by Cyndi and other people that were here last year. And also, because we've been touring and playing so much in the last year, our chops are really up. Last year we essentially had to chase the bus in a van with a trailer of all our gear. It's our first bus tour ever, and that's been magical, because we don't feel like we're going to fall down from exhaustion. What's been different on the tour this year? We've had a bus, which has been fantastic. Who else can you do? Rosie O'Donnell sounds pretty much the same - it's like two in one. It's something I've been doing since I was a kid. Have you been practicing with her? She talks to me a lot, and we hang out. ![]() You do a pretty good Cyndi Lauper impression. We couldn't do the rest of the tour, but we ended up doing eight more dates after that. And right after we got off stage she came up and said, "You guys fucking rock, I want you on the rest of the tour." And we were like - wow. Cyndi pushed a meet and greet and came out and watched us in the audience, with sunglasses and hat so nobody would recognize her. We were out last year, and it was only supposed to be for, I think, four dates. The front man for the Cliks (and Out 100 alum) phoned in from one of the band's last stops on the True Colors Tour to show off his spot-on Cyndi Lauper impression, talk about the downside to being a media darling, and dish on the growing number of hot girls he's made time with on TV. Even with one smoky Justin Timberlake cover ("Cry Me a River"), a rocking award-winning album (2007's Snakehouse) that sounds like the love child of Roy Orbison and the Pretenders, and more than a year out on the road under his belt, Lucas Silveira still just wants to play some rock and roll.
