artistic damn difficult fact fun gone gratifying integrity invented joy magical manages music original protect somehow songs speak suck
There are some things that are more difficult and commercially successful. Writing original songs is more gratifying on some level. But this is so much damn fun because we invented it and perfected it. The fact that we let the music speak and then poof! -- it's gone -- manages to somehow give us artistic integrity in a cover-band framework. We've got something magical here, and we have to protect it. We don't want to suck any of the joy out of it.
gigs hearing secret together
It's our joy. We're hearing it come together for the first time. The gigs are great, of course, but those Mondays are our secret little thing.
