This is a story about two best buddies.. Sam Yager & Shane Sanchez.. these are no ordinary teenagers.. You see... they're magical... and ... they uh ... take baths..
Why this name?
It was the name of an instrumental track we recorded.. And thought it would make a better band name.
Do you play live?
We've yet to play live together.. but Shane has done a few open mic shows, and one show in Watervliet.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Sam Yager:
I used to think it completely helped it, but now I realize that there's no element of surprise if you put all your tracks on the internet.
Shane Sanchez:
I think it's destroyed the music industry in every way possible.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Shit yes.

We've known each other for 5 years. We didn't become really close friends until the paths of our music interests crossed. Sam has been playing guitar since he was 14, and Shane has been rapping since he was 11 and making beats since he was 13.
