Why this name?
Are music is Universal it applies to people ages 7 to 97
Do you play live?
All the time. What is a band that can not perform for it's fans. We are all about setting the vibe and watching people enjoy the music together.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
IT can go two ways. Music becomes much more accesible. People may not buy the full LP or EP, but it is great to have the music out there where people can learn about the band.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the offer was right and the label's vision was along the same lines as ours.
