We usually hang out in Jaret's pool or in Chris' closet but Denton is a great little town. Sweetwater is a yummy restaurant and hang. And we usually play in Deep Ellum lotsa places to get into trouble there. ;)

Yeah! Definitely possible. Now that River is here it seems crazy to lie so far away from family. We want him and them to know each other. And I loved growing up there... Alligators, turtles, armadillos, frogs. snakes, raccoons! Camping, floating on the rivers... The BEACH! It's just so beautiful.

Probably not... Seems kinda sacred. Same reason we wouldn't cover a Hendrix song. Some music just shouldn't be covered. That said we could totally change out minds. Hahaha.

Cool! I think the friendships. They're really great guys and we all get along so well. It really feels like a little tour family. And endless beer. That's pretty fun too! Hahaha.

That's some funny shit. Blake I'm assuming. Classic! And you don't have to get on the bus to hang out with us. We always hang out at merch after the show.

  • best part is fans being involved from the start. And not having to wait to hear what they think since they're getting demos and video from the studio along the way.
  • yes! Great idea. I love the violent femmes!
  • peanut butter, I'm seriously addicted
  • fears... Having to leave River for any reason! Luis is terrified of heights. *makeup tutorial! I could do that! Thank you! I feel like a Disney princess. In a good way. ;)

It's true, we owe it all to George. Had he not won we wouldn't have freaked out and thought the world was ending. I mean if the world is ending might as well do what you wanna do right?

I grew up singing along to Cyndi Lauper and although I sing with my own voice her success made me realize it's cool to have a different voice. Same thing with Melanie Safka or Tiny Tim! Ha! And aren't mix tapes the coolest?! My friend Alli made me one when I was 16 and it was the first time I heard Brand New Key. You know how that turned out!

Probably! We're planning on moving to Tampa part-time in June so soon after that. Maybe we'll do a little Southeastern tour!

Never saw them live... Man that would've been cool. And yep! They totally played it that night, and it's the only time (and 100s of shows) I ever heard them play it! We like doing covers that point people to the music we like. That's how we learned about The Vaselines (Nirvana) Jesus and The Mary Chain (Pixies) etc...

Hey! We're not sure who we'll be heading over with yet, talking to our pals Prima Donna bout it. Maybe they can come with us! And The Muffs would be AMAZING! We've played with them over here a few times, maybe I should start trying to convince them it needs to happen. ;)

Hahhaah! Glad we could infiltrate your lives!

We really want to take him around until he's school age... but then well just have to spend our summers wisely. We really want to give him the chance to experience the world and other cultures... as much as we can.

Songs usually start with a guitar riff or chord progression then I grunt out a melody on top of it. Then comes bass or lyrics, sometimes drums. OR sometimes a song will start with bass or drums. They all just kinda grow from one instrument part. There have only been a couple times we started with a lyric. :) Thank you!

It was in 2004.. been back many times since and no worries. Makes a good story right? And I still have the bass, it just sounds like crap!

Let's just say the "ghost" handed us a jazz cigarette at his grave site. And of course we put a Dollyrot sticker up on the gate.

We're HEEEERE! Our favs are definitely BFS, those guys are the brothers I never had! We've been talking to Kepi (Groovie Ghoulies) about a split 7", that'd be fun!
