Hanna’s own worst gig came in the form of a lesson learnt – when nervous, don’t get too assumptive. “My one is, like, really personally humiliating,” she said, “I think I probably grew and matured a lot after this incident.”
“We were playing this one gig with False Futures and I’d looked at the poster, but didn’t read it properly, because it had, False Futures at the top, so I assumed they were headlining,” she explained, “I was like, on stage, like, ‘Yeah, I hope you guys are really excited to see False Futures headline tonight!’” They were not, in fact, headlining, and it turns out that the headliners were a little annoyed by the mess up.
“Then the actual headliner came out,” she continued, still shivering. “I can’t remember word for word what they’ve said, because I blocked out of my memory, but they said something like ‘We are not fucking False Futures.’”
With the sense that she wanted to crawl under a rock, she learnt to study posters closer from now on.
