On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman speaks to Laurence Beveridge from the band Fearless Vampire Killers. They are at the 20th anniversary of Download festival, and it's their fourth time attending. Laurence expresses their honor to be part of such a significant milestone and reminisces about watching the festival on TV as kids and eventually getting the opportunity to perform. They even headlined a stage one year, which was an amazing experience. Pipeman and Laurence discuss the impressive lineup of this year's festival, including bands like Metallica, Slipknot, and Bring Me the Horizon, which brings a fresh energy to the UK music scene.

Pipeman brings up an interesting story about Fearless Vampire Killers tricking everyone when they decided to reunite. They created a fake band, booked a fake gig, released fake music, and made fake artwork. They initially hoped for a small crowd of about 15 to 16 people, but word spread quickly, and the gig sold out. Despite the unexpected turnout, Laurence found the experience enjoyable, writing songs for a fake band and witnessing the excitement around it. Pipeman shares his own stories of bands performing under pseudonyms, like Soft White Underbelly, who turned out to be Blue Öyster Cult, and an Iron Maiden cover band that fooled the audience.

The conversation takes a turn towards the future plans of Fearless Vampire Killers. Laurence reveals that they have several records lined up for release and plan to go on tours. Additionally, he mentions his passion for writing books related to the band's music, which are set in a fictional world called Grand Domino. The first two albums were conceptually connected to these books, and Laurence is eager to release the next installment soon. Reuniting as a band has been a rejuvenating experience for them, bringing back the sense of connection and camaraderie they had growing up together in a small town.

Pipeman and Laurence discuss the evolution of their music, acknowledging that it has become less frantic compared to their early days. They allow the music to breathe more and draw inspiration from their life experiences as they have grown older. They express gratitude for the fans' unwavering support and the joy of playing old songs that resonate with the audience. The conversation ends with Lawrence sharing how fans can connect with Fearless Vampire Killers through their website and social media platforms and expressing their desire to return to the United States for future tours.
