Lollapalooza 2013 VIDEO: The National’s Bryan Devendorf Talks Life on the Road

The National are well acquainted with this whole Lollapalooza thing.

Getting ready to make their third appearance on a Lolla stage, we ran into drummer Bryan Devendorf in the Samsung Galaxy Artist Lounge and asked him how the indie rock darlings keep it fresh for the festival crowd.

Devendorf offered some insight into how the band tackles their set, which fellow Lollapalooza acts he’s most anxious to see and what the rest of the year holds for the Cincinnati-born five-piece.

Check out the full interview above.
