Chat chit with Nick Santino and Justin Richards of A Rocket to the Moon at Vans Warped Tour 2010.

     Nick and Justin hopped on the VWT for a few dates of acoustic performances. Following those Warped dates, catch the guys on tour this fall with Hanson and All Time Low —but not at the same time. Their single Like We Used To is currently burning up the charts. Be sure to head over to iTunes and buy yourself a perfectly legal copy. While you’re at it, get their debut full length On Your Side. I got a chance to catch up with the guys at the Uniondale stop and ask them a few questions. :)

Who do you guys watch play everyday?
Every Time I Die, Summer Set. The Summer Set is pretty much our daily thing. Never Shout Never’s really good. There are a lot of good bands on Warped this year so we’re lucky to be here.

Did you make any new BFFs?
We’re still working on it. We met a couple of the guys from You Me At Six. They’re from the UK, they’re really nice.

Do you prefer playing festivals or more intimate venue shows?
[They] both have perks. [They’re] equally as awesome. It’s nice to be the only band that people actually want to pay attention to.

If you could play anywhere that you haven’t before where would it be?
Australia or Japan.

What’s something you can’t live without on tour?
Phone, computer, shower…we are forced to live with out showers. [Luckily] we’re not smelly people.

What do you miss when you’re on tour?
Family. Pets. Showers.

Are you guys planning on getting any new tattoos?
Nick mentioned he might take his tattoo artist friend Craig Beasley on the road while Justin mentioned he might get something ocean related on his left arm. Nick would get a Harry Potter related tattoo somewhere. Both agreed that they’d never get anything pierced. :)

What would you like to say to your fans?
Vote for our song on the radio and come see us on tour!!!
