“I love a lot of people in bands and people doing weird art stuff, but i will always forget someone and i don’t really want to be part of stamping the boundaries on a scene.”

A lot of bands are still just bands that artists ask to get involved, but a lot of artists are using sound they create. This is different from referencing music.

There was a band very early on in our class, and I played in that band and as a teenager, I continued.

I don’t treat the band like I’m above them or that they’re a hired hand for me. We’ve never worked that way. So I’m a team player. I would be very uncomfortable having to do this alone.

I never studied anything, really. I didn’t study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.

Bones was a grouch but he was sympathetic. The show worked like a boy band in that way… it had characters who embodied different psychic or emotional positions and that allowed me to see a great range of things

I couldn’t put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would’ve stayed with the band.

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

Yes, but don’t forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

I think ultimately what you really want is a few people within any label that are into the band enough to really work on it every day for a long time and to actually try a little bit.
