"We've found it really important to try to get the same enjoyment we used to when we started making music, just messing around in our free time with no big plans.” Ray also commented about the group’s appreciation for its fans in the United States and how the audience shows its love for Nero’s musical elements.
Tickets for the show can be purchased through Voyeur’s website.
