Why this name?
it just sounded right at the time
Do you play live?
yes, the first live dates will start early 2006 in europe and continue a long as we can keep playing.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
the internet gives the independent artist far greater opportunity to promote themselves, shifting the control away from the big corporations.. which is wonderful.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
in the right circumstances if they understood where we are coming from and don't mess us about..
