Do you play live?
Yeah we play live! Especially in the summer it's fantastic.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For us the internet is a promtional thing. It's the first place to get some feedback.
We think it will change the whole music business. Who wants to buy a CD for 20$?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No I don't think so. The right way would be a contract with a smaller label.
