Hi, I'm Jay J. Smurch, manager for the band. What do you mean, which band? THIS band, the Mark Adamskiczyk (or however he spells it--what do I look like, a dictionery?) Group. Let me introduce you to the Group. Over here on my left is Blanche. Blanche, say hi to--I'm sorry I didn't catch your name. Oh. Okay, this is Blanche. On her left is Messalina who is holding a screwdriver, although she doesn't really play one. Next over is Alvin, who is our newest member. See, he is still wearing his price tag. (Caveat Emptor) And lastly is, uh, where's Renaldo? Late again? Jeepers! Well, you'll just have to imagine what Renaldo looks like. His loss.
Why this name?
a) Flipped a coin. It came up heads.
b) Didn't choose it. It chose me.
c) Flipped a coin. It came up tales.
d) This is a Group, the leader's name is Mark, his last name is Adamczyk.
e) Give our stuff a listen, the reason for the name should become obvious.

Do you play live?
Well, yes, we do. Darn proud of it, too. Even if it's only as music teachers and occasional gigs at the park district. Hey, even Jagger started small. (7 lbs, 6 oz. if memory serves) Anyway, when we do play out, we'll keep you posted, but be advised we'll probably start late--thanks to Renaldo!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is a fad that will go away in a few months. I've been saying this for years. Nobody believes me, but just you wait. Just you wait! In the meantime, it's great being an insignificant fish in an ocean. 'Specially on all-you-can-eat-fish-fridays.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hey, we've been ignored by some of the biggest labels in the business. Um, I know I shouldn't brag, but actually, ALL the big labels, each and every one. 'Sokay, though, we ignore them right back. Each and every one.
Band History:
We're new at this so we have no history yet. We _could_ have just made up a history about ourselves, but we take this interview _way_ too seriously to do that. Anyway, like everyone else, we're here to make history, not repeat it! When we DO have some history worth reciting, trust us, you'll be the first to know.
Your influences?
We're partial to melodies and to melodious partials. To taking a tune and running with it, often with the pedagogy cops in hot pursuit. Punting the contrapuntal, that's our motto.
Favorite spot?
Over there by the fireplace looks real cozy. No, not there, over to the left a bit. Yeah, right there. Try it out.
Equipment used:
Besides the screwdriver Messalina is holding, you mean? Let's see...Comb and tissue paper, tambourine if really necessary, playing cards. Our motto, more or less, is 'less is more'. Oh, and something called Sonar, more or less since before it was called Sonar. (That zennish comment is for all you old-time Sonar users. You know what I'm babbling about.)
Anything else...?
Thanks for giving us a listen. Your time is valuable, you spent some of it with us. Gosh, thanks again.
