song player thinking
I think that the most significant, guiding principle was that we wanted to return to a three-piece live form, whereas we became a four-piece for the last record because the songs had more extensive arrangements and we needed a keyboard player to pull off a lot of those songs. We missed the energy, and more push-and-pull of the three-piece.
continue earth fossil fuel last
We're going to have to do something about the fossil fuel issue. I don't think the earth is going to continue to give the way she has the last 100 years.
best wake
Wake County, I'm told, is one of the best in the state.
fun band networking
Conservatively, I am saying that social networking has made being in a band more fun, but not necessarily changed how the business works.
mean fans doe
It is great to have direct, unfiltered, interaction with your fans on Twitter and FaceBook, or whatever. I am not totally convinced that it has revolutionized the sales model. Its not completely apparent to me that it is easier to sell music. Obviously, there is a possibility of smaller bands, having their music listened to, but I am not sure to what degree it actually happens. Just because it can happen, doesn't mean it does.
mistake mean unique
I think the more people you add on stage, the more locked it things become. Whereas fewer members on stage gets the audience to notice any small idiosyncrasy or unique moment that one of the three people onstage is having. It also means that mistakes are accentuated, but to good affect generally if you are that type of band.
eye advice doe
My top lady advice is to make eye contact early on - before introductions, even - and just never break it, no matter what she does. Keep that dead-eyed lock on her. Works like a charm.
people band radio
Yes, anyone can log onto your "anonymous" band's MySpace page and hear the music. So, in theory you have gotten your music in front of 5 billion people. The other thing is that something has to cause them to go to those bands MySpace page, and it's that reliance on taste makers or radio, that is still very much a part of how music is sold and marketed.
asked brothers guy looked scientists similar theme three truck whether works
We actually got it from a guy that works at a U-Haul truck place in Berkeley. He thought that the three of us all looked very similar to one anotherwe all had on glassesand he asked whether we were all brothers and we said no and he asked whether we were all scientists. We said that we were not, but that was the theme of the name.
