I do play live, I play a lot locally with my band The Adventure. We mainly play in our home state of North Caroline, and surrounding states, but we do enjoy it when we venture out further. Every musician has to make sacrifices, and we do this so we can play live, it's what we love to do. One time a couple of years ago when I was with another band, I had the runs before a show and the bathrooms were right by the stage, I heard our intro...went running onto stage...then realized my pants were still around my ankles.

In many ways it helps people to get out and be herd. In others ways it makes it harder to sell CD's. Not that many people buy a CD when they can just download the singles. Thats why I try to make a conches effort to not download and take a trip to Best Buy instead.

Yes, to me it doesn't matter if its a major or indie label, its about the deal they are offering you. I own my own Indie label called Convalescence Records, but that doesn't make me partial to indie or major labels.

Angus Young made me want to play guitar, Dimebag Darrell made me want to be the best I could, Tom DeLonge (AVA or so than Blink) made me want to write epic sounding songs, and Matt Skiba made me want to do what I love and just be ridiculously cool doing it.

Hollywood, and Los Angeles, is my favorite city, and my favorite spot is stage right.
