Even Mumford and Sons Know How Milquetoast Their Fans Are

We love the folksy banjo-pickers of Mumford and Sons, but even we have to admit that they don’t have as wide a demographic appeal as, say, (the recently departed) LMFAO. But it was heartening to read The Independent this morning and learn that the lads of Mums ‘n Sons know that too:

Who is their typical fan? “Not such a thing exists,” says Dwane, ever diplomatic. “Mostly gap-year public-school girls,” says Lovett. “I get all the old men and geeky vinyl collectors,” says Marshall. “I walked into a shop in New York and there was a black guy with dreadlocks and he said, ‘hey man, I was at your gig in New Orleans’. I was like, ‘Really?’ And he said, ‘yeah, I’m your only black fan!’ “I don’t know how we can branch that out. Even when we went to India the only people who came to our gigs were ex-pats,” says Marshall.

There you have it: Even Mumford and Sons know what their fans are like. Keep strumming, boys! We’ll be your fans.
