Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We formed in 2001 under the name Roofus. We've had 7 or 8 different people in the band. I don't feel like writing everything out. The band is : Adam - Keyboard / Vocals, Keever - Lead Guitar, Phil - Guitar, Tom - Bass / Vocals, John - Drums / Vocals.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, we play shows all the time. We love playing shows, most of our shows are on Long Island. Special moments ? Once Tom flipped his bass around his back and it landed behind the drumset, that was a special moment.
