Kim: And with us to talk about this show, the guitar player, Mike Turner. Good evening Mike.

Mike: Hello Kim.

Kim: How are you doing?

Mike: I'm pretty good. How are you doing?

Kim: I'm very well thank you.

Mike: Great.

Kim: So you're somebody who grew up in Toronto right?

Mike: Not really, I grew up more in the UK. But yes I know it..Toronto I think where you're going it the whole idea of it being "The Gardens".

Kim: Exactly.

Mike: Man that's...I can't believe it.

Kim: That's where Rush plays.

Mike: Ya it's Maple Leaf Gardens! I can come up with a bunch of adjectives and describe it's this it's that, but at the end of it you'd always just say: well it's Maple Leaf Gardens! You know there's no other descriptions necessary, we're all totally hyped!

Kim: So how do you feel about that at this stage of your career, I mean does it feel like you sort of got a certain amount of control about how this is going or does it feel like everything is just going so quickly, you know?

Mike: It depends what day you ask me. Today I feel like we might have a little bit of control because we've actually just been dealing with how we want to do this and the elements of it that we can control so I'm feeling like, oh yeah, ok we can do this. But then other days you know, going back to the kid who's going to more shows at Maple Leaf Gardens thinking no, wow, what are we doing here? It can be a little overwhelming but I think it's enough that we can control it to make it something we're going to be proud of.

Kim: But I guess having done the Edgefest tour this past summer, I mean you played to audiences, I mean Molson Park for instance was well over 30 000 people. So it's not an entirely unknow experience for you right?

Mike: Ya true enough, I mean, for us it will be neat because it's the first time it's going to be sort of, our show and we have control of all the element that we want to know about. In that regard it'll be a little different bit true between the dates we did with bigger bands in the states and the Alanis Morissette tour we've actually done a lot of these venues before, obviously apart from the gardens, on the national wide side of it there we've actually done some of these venues before which is also very strange to think of but, we'll know what to expect.

Kim: We're speaking about Our Lady Peace playing Maple Leaf Gardens Saturday, January 17th. With guests Everclear. Now that's interesting because you're doing some dates with them in the US and i guess you're sort of returning the favor on this one right?

Mike: Ya, very much so. I'm look forward to that we start with them in, I think what, ten days or something and it's going to be neat. It's us and them and Letter to Cleo are opening, who we actually toured with for like six weeks on the last record. So it's going to be a nice little traveling circus.

Kim: There's a couple of other quick things I want to mention Mike, because I know things have been going just tremendously well for the group in the United States. The album has been selling the single being played on the radio and you've also got Clumsy I think is the new single in the US but it's also on the soundtrack for I Know What You Did Last Summer. That's kind of a cool little door opener isn't it?

Mike: Ya! That was actually sort of a nice surprise for us. It was one of those "oh and by the way you're on this soundtrack" and we like "oh really, cool. What's it for?" And then they told us what it was and that's another one of those moments where you go "no way!" So, we're happy.

Kim: And it actually looks like a film I'd like to see.

Mike: Ya, I know! I'm pretty please about that to! I'd hate for it to be one some real bonehead film.

Kim: Ya, something like the Angus soundtrack or you know soundtrack in search of a film.

Mike: Well isn't that...(couldn't catch the name he said)...Never mind

Kim: You're also doing some dates with the Rolling Stones. Correct?

Mike: Two of them ya. In Quebec city. That was actually a product of the tour that we're talking about today. We had a date on hold in Quebec city, which the Stones said well gee we'd really want that, and we're like well, you're the rolling stones you can have that date. And they said well why don't you open for us on those two days. So you know that's going to be great just becuase, well another one of those adjectiveless descriptions. They're the rolling stones you know, they're old, yes. They've been doing longer than most of us have been alive, yes. But they're the Rolling Stones.

Kim: Is that when it made sense for your mom? like there always a point when you're parents finally get it. Was that it for your mom?

Mike: You know what? I'm not sure my mom still knows. You know, my eldest sister, ya, she said, "seriously, you're playing with the Rolling Stones?" I'm like "ya". "Wow" So suddenly I've sprang into a whole new light in here eyes.

Kim: Wow. Well we're going to see what Maple Leaf Gardens on Saturday January 17th it's an Edge Presents with Our Lady Peace Everclear and Letters to Cleo Tickets on sale this Saturday. Mike thank you for taking the time and best of luck we'll se you in January.

Mike: Thanks alot Kim.
