Tell us three things about yourself
I am 5'11", 30-inch waist, 30-inch inseam, 38R jacket.
How would you describe your music?
People keep saying we sound like Radiohead. Kind of a lazy comparison in my opinion, but it could be worse. People could say we sound like Train or Incubus. Would be nice if we made as much money as Radiohead though.
Who are your musical inspirations?
The Beastie Boys.
What was the first gig you ever went to?
Probably one of my mom’s gigs when I was a lil boy.
What was the first record you ever bought?
Bad Hair Day - Weird Al Yankovic.
What’s your favourite song right now?
Samantha Sang - Emotion.
Favourite lyric of all time?
"I would cut my legs and tits off when I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski, in the dark of the moon" - Lou Reed - Brandenburg Gate from his album with Metallica, Lulu.
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Samantha Sang - Emotion.
Where can people find your music/more information?
