do you think you're cute?

psh, duh!

yeah! ( im cute )

so what other bands have you been in?

shitty one called the panhandlers, another one called the muffin tops. but that was a fun one.

how'd you get into this one?

i asked for a number and was given a myspace. at a piano bar. during an open mic.

that's all?

no. we ended up uh, jamming together, playing music like every day. and now i've moved in with uh, sandeep.

so when can we expect you to play your next show?

well ive got a goal set out for next week, meaning like this week. it just depends on what places are accepting music at this time. but im gonna make some phone calls, possibly some emails, make alotta demos, send them out places like bars erstaurants. ill see if i can get hooked up to some parties and play music for them. basically what im gonna try is see whats going on in town.

what're your influences?

i couldn't say.

you have a favorite band?

not really. i like alot of different kinds of music. but i dont necessarily have a favorite. i dont mark them as a favorite.

what was your favorite live concert?

i'd have to say MSI.

who the hells that?

i think its mindless self indulgence. im pretty sure, but im not sure!

i think that sounds about right

yeah. well they played a really good show. they got the crowd erally involved and it was pretty fuckin crazy. i uh, the entire room was a mosh pit. and it was at the newport so it was a pertty big floor of people punching the shit out of people and i went crowd surfing and couple of times, so once i got out of there the first thingi did was take a shower so much sweat from everyone flinging their hair bodies flinging everywhere. it was very energetic. the crowd was alive, along with the band.

anythin else you wanna say?

nope!
