Musician

We're not the millionaires that people think when they see busses.

The World Coming Down tour was around four years ago, and other than the wear and tear we've all sustained in the last four years, nothing much has changed.

I think the fact is that World Coming Down was just a really hard album for people to deal with.

I lean towards traditionally what people would consider the more negative side of life.

We're from New York, so we have a decent following.

Slow, Deep And Hard was a great album, even though it was probably our least selling record.

I was for a minor amount of time but I was probably a better pianist at 15 than I am now.

We think that we have great potential but never reach it.

I definitely have favourites in terms of albums.

Well, I love Pink Floyd, so I wouldn't be offended by it. I only intentionally robbed them three or four times.

No, I'm sure that there's a lot of L.A. bands out there.

I like working with other people but I'm not a songwriter, I'm a producer.

We do do such a variety, especially if you consider all five records.

In regards to the reaction to Life Is Killing Me, I would say that I'm never happy about anything.

So right off, I'm going to have to say that a lot of people have been comparing Life Is Killing Me to World Coming Down, and I think a lot of those people equate art and sales figures, and I don't do that.

We don't pump out albums eight months apart from each other.

I think that most artists are leaning towards fragile idiots.

You know, musicians aren't very stable, in case you hadn't noticed.

Like all of us, we have pretty serious mood swings.

We still have a very good core following, and the shows have been almost one hundred percent sold out.
