00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:08:22 It has a sound.
00:00:13:06 Where did you learn that from?
00:00:15:04 Where I learned that? You want to know where I learned that?
00:00:17:10 Vanilla Ice.
00:00:19:00 [Music]
00:00:40:25 This tour is awesome, we are having a great time.
00:00:44:21 -It's only been on for two days. -Two days.
00:00:46:19 How do you know it's awesome?
00:00:47:19 Because we hadn't had any merch
00:00:49:18 so we don't have anything to worry about that at all.
00:00:51:21 It's been stress free.
00:00:52:29 I am merchant, because we don't have any to sale,
00:00:56:03 because we are in a fine country here,
00:00:58:07 decided to take our merch hostage at the border
00:01:01:17 and they have yet to release it,
00:01:03:03 but apparently they may release it soon perhaps from custody,
00:01:11:19 and may we will get it in a couple of days.
00:01:13:08 But so far the tour other than that the tour has been awesome,
00:01:16:10 the band seemed really cool.
00:01:17:14 The bands are good, and so we are having a good time.
00:01:21:26 [Music]
00:01:40:26 I personally, I like music that's interesting
00:01:42:25 and music that keeps you on your toes
00:01:44:27 and I think when we write music,
00:01:46:08 we try to create things that
00:01:47:26 I don't know it makes the listener curious
00:01:51:05 of what's going to happen next.
00:01:52:07 I think a lot of bands you know exactly
00:01:53:29 what's going to happen every moment.
00:01:54:29 I don't know there are a lot of bands U2
00:01:57:16 and Mars Volta when you put on the CD,
00:02:00:29 you don't know what to expect
00:02:02:12 and I think with each record we try to achieve that in someway
00:02:05:19 and progress from each record and not repeat ourselves
00:02:08:08 and... we don't want that to ever be like a
00:02:11:24 complete formula where we know
00:02:13:19 what's going to happen when we write and
00:02:15:26 what our fans are going to know when they listen to it.
00:02:17:14 [Music]
00:02:39:06 I don't know I grew up playing guitar.
00:02:40:17 So I didn't really know how to play keyboards at all
00:02:43:14 but I have always been interested in
00:02:45:00 just the sounds they created and kind of use them as a way
00:02:51:08 to make a part bigger rather than like a dominant instrument
00:02:53:19 and I guess as we have gotten
00:02:55:09 as our music has kind of progressed,
00:02:57:28 I have become slowly a better player.
00:03:01:08 It's fun for me to incorporate into our music,
00:03:04:21 and it's just another voice in our songs
00:03:07:22 that add a unique element.
00:03:10:10 Hey Thanks man.
00:03:13:02 I have actually never told Tommy because
00:03:14:28 I wanted to put it on record.
00:03:16:00 I am really proud of the way you have developed as a musician
00:03:17:28 over the years, he has come a long way as a vocalist
00:03:20:22 and as a keyboardist.
00:03:22:01 Probably you have really come a long way as well.
00:03:27:14 Thank you.
00:03:28:17 I think we should probably get together again.
00:03:32:04 [Music]
00:03:58:17 Kind of with each record I think part of our progression,
00:04:01:28 with our sound as a band is pushing ourselves as musicians
00:04:05:18 and we are naturally forced to get better with each record.
00:04:11:07 I am a better bass player today than I was
00:04:14:02 -Yesterday. -Yesterday.
00:04:17:02 I am actually a worst vocalist today than yesterday I think.
00:04:20:08 I think a lot of it too is the chemistry between the five just
00:04:25:01 gets a little better every time, and so kind of get what
00:04:29:13 each other is trying to do may be.
00:04:31:23 [Music]
00:04:49:04 Now for the listener, we don't care.
00:04:50:12 I am mostly concerned about can I play the shit.
00:04:57:09 But I like the challenge and every time we do a record
00:05:01:06 and there is always some stuff, this new record has a lot of
00:05:05:04 stuff that it's hard to execute.
00:05:08:01 So I think that's fun actually to get that down
00:05:12:24 and you feel like you have become better
00:05:14:16 and that's why I think we feel like we are better
00:05:16:16 with every record it's because we do challenge
00:05:18:05 ourselves and so when we actually play the stuff live,
00:05:22:15 we feel accomplished.
00:05:25:05 [Music]
00:05:37:19 Nowadays, especially a lot of bands people just listen to
00:05:42:21 one or two songs in a record.
00:05:44:26 I think music, we need to have a CD on each of this whole thing,
00:05:49:14 and I think that's lost a lot now.
00:05:52:08 So when we write records we want to create an album
00:05:55:00 rather than just a bunch of songs and hopefully,
00:05:58:02 some people will like a few of them.
00:05:59:24 I think we have stated a realm for as long as we have
00:06:03:03 and just for the fact that we have never fallen
00:06:04:28 into trends when we write our music,
00:06:06:28 we have always written what we want to write
00:06:08:28 and I think we have a very long career because of that.
00:06:13:25 [Music]
00:06:24:26 Thank you very much.
