What made you want to get into music? - The first time I heard wonderful sounds floating out of a boom box I fell in love with music. It has always been a great comfort and salvation for me - so I want to continue to save myself and bring comfort to others. I got into music because I needed a platform for what I felt I could express to people.
If you could open for anyone who would it be? - Radiohead
What was the first concert you went to? - Areosmith, Permenant Vacation tour
What were your most memorable moments of your teenaged years? - Traveling to Europe for a month with two of my best friends.
What was the best advise you ever recived? - Be yourself but continue to grow. Keep searching - the journey is the destination.
What are your pet peeves? Eating, sleeping and people who talk too much especially when I just want to hear myself think. Also I hate when people won't let me feel the way I feel.
If you could be someone else who would it be and why? -I would have been my mother hours before she took her own life so I could understand what it was that tortured her so badly.
What's your favourite quote? -
"That's how writers begin, by imitating the masters (without suffering like said
masters), till they learn their own style, and by the time they learn their own
style there's no more fun in it, because you can't imitate any other master's
suffering but your own"
- Jack Kerouac
"I would have seized every opportunity of first dropping a tear into a glass and
then draining it in honour of the best and highest; I would have sought out the
best and highest in the nastiest, most unmistakable filth"
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
What's your favourite cartoon? - the old spider man
What's your favourite ice cream flavour? - peach
What's your favourite alcholic beverage? Stella or Keith's pale ale
What's your dream car? - A bullet proof land cruiser
What Muppet do you most relate to? - Gonzo: a brilliant and eccentric outcast
If you could be anyone else for a day who would it be and why? - Again my mother. She had been the best and worst in my life. I want answers and to be able to put her memory to rest or at least to store it in a happy place.
What would you do in a pool of jello? Make a jello angel.
If the world were a pizza what topping would you be and why? I would be a pineapple because there all hard on the outside but sweet inside.
If you were on a deserted island with just your band memebers who would you canabilize first and why? I would eat Graham first. No more loud guitar solos
