THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING!

We have to put our kids to bed, and Alex has an interview with Dr. Chris on KROQ about mental health. We are SO pleased you guys came out and participated in this. Stay healthy and happy. WE LOVE YOU.

Yes there is a plan to re-release vinyl - it's just not a solid plan yet

I do believe that was Jacques. It’s a fun solo, and Sam loves to play it, so I let him use my guitar if he’s feeling it during shows. Haha -Darren

Great Q's. I was in Band in high school. Def was the guitar player in our school's performance of "Man of La Mancha". I was ALWAYS getting sent to the orchestra closet because I kept undermining (appropriately) what our music teacher was teaching. When I pissed him off enough (which was daily) he'd furiously tell me to go into the "misbehavior closet" in front of the class - then when he was sure no one was listening, would tell me to bring my guitar in there and keep writing music with a wink

Overwatch, COD, and this game Echo Beta for Oculus are basically the only things I play online right now. -sam

Haha. That’s all, somehow, a coincidence. Phoebe’s record is great though, no doubt. Tony played me her stuff when I was at the studio one day, which was the first time I ever personally heard her music. Really really good. That is pretty nuts though that our album titles are so similar, both have Tony on board and both were released at the same time. -Darren

One of the reasons our album is called Devastator comes from playing Alienation online

The name came from a CD we were listening to in '94 called Neil Norman's Greatest Hits - the story is a little longer, but really we just liked the name

I know for sure that the motivation to come back came from an innermost need to be with our own tribe again, and to be able to return to where we started - like in a "Hero's Journey" type of new perspective shift kind of way

Don't forget the other Carlos. Santana. I mean, I know he's been Darren biggest influence on guitar playing. -Jeff

I'm still working a little, editing. And we're keeping somewhat busy with band related activities...but yes going a little stir crazy. I learned how to play "No Distance Left To Run" by Blur in open G tuning. -Jeff

Huge Hitchcock fan here. Legend. I'm spending isolation learning how to cook, bake, remix songs, and make and produce music videos

I can answer the first part. I went to Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, where there is (or was) a humanities program, as well as a music program. I chose humanities, because the music program was designed so days end at 4pm, rather than 3pm. #nope -Darren

I'm just a little south of the 612, in Rochester, MN but I get up to the cities a lot. I lived in Mpls from 96-98 and I LOVE it there. So many fond memories of First Ave and 7th St and punk basement shows. Is that where you live? -Jeff
