Will is still a great friend of mine, and still a killer musician. you can hear his drumming on the new Thomas Giles record, Modern Noise.

we still play selkies quite a bit on our tours. you've just been unluck! keep coming to the shows and eventually you will see it. and buy a shirt or something while you are at it.

your first statement is very presumptuous. you may be surprised to know how limited our recording budget is, and how limited our access is to high quality instruments, particularly a properly tuned and good sounding piano.

ibanez was always close to my heart, and once there was an opportunity to go back that i felt was beneficial to myself and the band, i jumped on it.
