What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Our new album
Sundown. We're very proud of this new record and to have the final
masters in our hand is a definite highlight. The songs, production and tones we
got on this album are surpass any expectations I had when we started this band four years ago.
What's the
moment you want to forget?
Last summer in
front of a crowd of 5,000 opening for Mounties I had what our drummer calls a
"hot one". The volume knob on my tele flew off mid-song, I
could've easily gone without it but used a break on my part in the song to pick
it up. I was full of adrenaline and into the show. While I tried to
get it I knocked my patch chord out with my foot, while trying to plug it back
in I somehow also accidentally knocked Dave's patch chord out of his tuner
right in the middle of his solo in one of our songs! I had us both
plugged back in and good to go in a few seconds, the crowd was still rockin,
but enough to say I'm ready to forget that one!
If you had to
pick one song to represent your music, which and why?
I'd pick our new
lead single "Fading Fast". It best combines the current
elements or our music. Heavy, tight riffs, big hooks with a progressive
elements and odd timing in the bridge.
