A: What was your favorite concert?
LM: Either Radiohead, The Roots, The Allman Brothers, or The Gypsy Kings.

A: Have you had any bad concert experiences at your shows?
LM: Ryan sprained his ankle before a WestCo Café show and had to play sitting down the whole time. Another time we played a show in Fayerweather and all his pedals broke and none of the mics were working, so we basically played a show without a guitarist or vocals. Luckily no one was there but our friends!

A: Who would you most like to go on tour with?
LM: Wordsmith.

A: If your band were an animal, what would it be?
LM: An underweight silverback gorilla with claws.

A: If you were all going to fight each other, who would win?

A: Rock or roll?
LM: Roll!

A: Hippies or hipsters?
LM: Hippies.

LM: Whoever’s floors are less sticky. Beta is beta than the others.

A: Best pickup line you’ve ever heard?
LM: Good show guys.
