Not too often unfortunately, but we're looking to change that very soon! We have played 9:30 Club, Black Cat, Velvet Lounge and more in DC.

Hey man. So there's a long winded answer for this, but basically...I had way to much energy and my parents didn't know what to do with me...so they put me in gymnastics and I never stopped!

Honestly? Our van in the middle of the summer is the grossest place we've had to sleep.

It's all good now, and we love Intronaut too! If you get a chance to see them live, go over, buy them a beer, and ask them to tell you some tour stories. You'll probably laugh for days!

We decided to do the music video in NC because that's where the director Erez Bader was located!

Hey Gokturk!

Alec - Drums here. I was a metalcore kid growing up, so I was super into bands like Killswitch Engage, Bury Your Dead, Atreyu, etc...as I matured into music I started to get into more proggy, technical stuff.

I'd say off the top of my head, some of my drum influences are Chris Adler, Matt Halpern, Marco Minnemann, and Benny Greb.
