This week's installment of Mike Hale's tour journal, For Those Still Standing, comes in the form of an interview conducted by our good friend Sam Sutherland, who's work you can see at Exclaim.

Mike recently released a solo album, Lives Like Mine as well as Volume 2 with his band In the Red. Hale will be spending the rest of the week wrapping up a tour of the UK. Once's he's done with that, expect to hear regular reports about his adventures back home as he continues to attempt to tour his way through the year.
