Why this name?
You are what you wear...
Do you play live?
Yes we play live, to date we haven't found any other way. We also enjoy listening to music while staring deeply into the Smokey Circles plenoptic visualization. Most special live moment: Winning the 1983 So. Cal Marching Band Championship
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
People will steal sooooo much music that artists will have to get paid for movie soundtracks, play live or sell T-shirts to make a living.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Where's the pen?
