The Pretty Reckless' Taylor Momsen on touring lifestyle

The Pretty Reckless have returned with a new album, Who You Selling For, and frontwoman Taylor Momsen told Idolator that it was somewhat inspired by the isolation of touring

She explained that being on the road "forces you" to focus on your live show and the music you're making, so it definitely crept into the album's aesthetic:

"Touring is kind of this never-ending cycle of the same thing every day. Set up, sound check, press, get ready, play, leave, try to find food somewhere, sleep, do the same thing the next day. It becomes very much like a isolating bubble where the outside world kind of disappears."

"I think it forces you to really hone your show and everything about playing in every city comes with a different challenge. The sole focus is being as good as you possibly can be every night. There is nothing else. The music is all you have. The music is everything."

The Pretty Reckless will return to the UK for a short tour in 2017 and tickets for the dates shown below are on sale now:

  • January 19 - NOTTINGHAM Rock City
  • January 20 - BIRMINGHAM O2 Institute
  • January 21 - LONDON O2 Forum
  • January 23 - GLASGOW O2 ABC
  • January 24 - MANCHESTER O2 Ritz
