Why this name?
Unique to our last names: Tommy Bozung and David Moore.
Do you play live?
Both Dave and Tom have toured extensively throughout the 1980's. Dave plays on a regular bases and Tommy joins him for festivals/concerts inbetween times. Tommy engineers, produces and performs in his studio located in Washington State.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
"I am very excited regarding the advent of today's technology. Having experienced the record industry from both perspectives (24 track taped recordings and being signed to record labels) to (a completely independent record company, digital studio recording and internet distribution), I prefer the latter! The unique opportunites for artists are too numerous to count. It can all be summed up in on word "ARTIST CONTROL". I wouldn't have it in any other way!"

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That depends upon the how well distibutors such as "SoundClick" and others help to promote and carry the torch for the artists further in the music industry game. As far as I am concerned, there may be no need for record companies in the future if and only if artists are selling CD's. It would appear that the necessary technology is already here, but the know how regarding sales and promotion cannot be as simple as a software application. Record companies have years of distribution know how and ORGANIZED/PREDICTABLE networks in place. So predictable that they can take a no namer and make them a star. That's not really my bag, but that is power nonetheless. To answer the question, it depends purely on the terms, the recording budget, the touring expectancy etc... There are alot of components to consider. I would just prefer "SoundClick" and others to put an end to the record companies altogether".

Your influences?
"We really like all styles and that is why our latest projects flavor various styles of music. It is really about loving music of all styles over any one or couple of artists. If I had to say who was my most influential, I would have to go with Sting or Peter Gabriel as far as independent artists."
