They’re just in it for the limo ride.
The band’s Final Words CD was nominated in the Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album category.
The band’s lead singer and guitarist John Bowker says they’re still really excited about the nomination but they’re not expecting a win.
Which is really the sort of level-headed approach from a band who turned a dismissive comment on their nomination (“Who the F..k is Born Lion?”) into a T-shirt.
“We feel like there’s no real prospect of us actually winning, to the degree that we haven’t really written a speech or anything,” Bowker said.
“But we probably should do that, just in case.
“We’ll get to walk down the red carpet. No one will know who we are but that’s alright.
“We just found out we’re going to be going in a limo. Everyone arrives in a limo but, I’ve never been in a limo so that’s exciting as well.”
