New York-based indie quintet Freelance Whales are on the road this spring with Foals and the Naked and Famous for a North American tour. The band has been gracious enough to document their travels for Spinner in a series of video and written Road Reports.

In the latest installment, the band talks about their developing live show and how the tour has progressed so far.

"Through the second week of tour, we'd played a handful of shows, having driven over 900 miles from a few cities in the Pacific Northwest to the casa de Criss in San Francisco," drummer Jacob Hyman tells Spinner. "With each one we found ourselves gelling more and more, and falling into our old comfortable roles on stage."

"As we wait to go onstage every night, our excitement at these beautiful rooms, at these generous crowds, finds a way of creeping out, in the claustrophobic holding pens that sit just a few feet from the stage," adds frontman Judah Dadone.
