Three goals for your music:

“To stay true and to quit our day jobs and go on tour (if anybody would like to fund our overseas tour – please feel free to drop us a line).”

Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:

“Seeing The Breeders at billboards was epic – a million reasons why we will never forget it… her smile will be forever with us. And our very first album launch… the support was overwhelming and to see people crowd surfing in bare feet and smashed glass all over the floor was pretty memorable. So much blood!”

One day left before the apocalypse and you…:

“Have the last supper with our dog and good friends.”
