What city or area has been the worst place to play? tulsa. its so hit or miss here.

What makes a show the best? When we improve some of the songs Everyone gets caught up in the moment.
Its the crowd really. We can always be having an on night but when the fans emit that energy you can see it rising off of them!

Who do you one day want to play a show with or open for that you haven't already? Incubus for sure! Those guys have inspired us a great measure. I'd love to befriend them all one day.

What inspires most of your lyrics? Divorce, Love, suicide, strength, the world around us.

What you are saying thru your music? Some songs are like "get the f out of my life!" Mostly I'm asking Why? Why do we choose to be so ugly? Growing up a bit seems so help with all that now!

Do you have any advice to starting bands? Never give up. People WILL lie, cheat, screw, steal, and suck the life out of you. Protect your talent. They can't take that.

What religion are you? art is my religion

Does your religion effect your music? Yes I think so. When you've seen how a preacher can touch peoples hearts and lift their spirits. . .as a singer its like I want to do that too. Even if you don't agree with a religion, it still takes tremendous talent to empower the masses. . .whatever your medium is.

Any funny or interesting stories? After a show we packed up half the gear into Adam's Pick-up truck. He was doing about 45 and the tailgate pops open. . .spilling amps and pedal boards into on coming traffic. My fender acoustic-sonic amp did a few summersaults on the pavement before skidding to a stop. Thank god nothing way destroyed! My amp sounds great!

What do you think about UFOs? Hands Down. There are real.

Does being involved in playing music make you miss out on anything? Yeah, concerts. If we're not playing we're working. Life is hard you know!

What advantage do you have above other people because you play music? We get in free at a lot of clubs, free drinks. . .the usual.


What would you say to a kid who has no faith in himself? Go to church. That's the best way to learn about faith. You've got to evolve to survive in this world.

Anything you would like to say to your fans reading this interview? WE. LOVE. YOU. . . .like i always say "fans make the bands. . .without you we are nothing!"
