Describe your sound.
As an Indie band we have a pop sensibility, but there is always an edgier undercurrent. We dip into many genres, but there is this synthesis of edginess and melody, layers of sound and texture weaving in and out…it is a bit trippy really. We like to mix things up. Our CD that we are working on has some heavier rock songs and some dancier tunes.
What keeps you going?
Slogging around all over the DC area is a dream come true of course, but I think that even with all of the crap and frustration, it is the artistry that keeps us plugging along. It is like, let’s write more and record more because that is where the sustaining joy comes from. I do not think you can just stop being a musician.
Who would you love to play with?
Alexes: Are you kidding? Robert Smith of course.
Paul (P.J): The Stones.
Dr. Thorn: Wow! Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Faith no More, Pink Floyd, I would probably have the most fun with Iggy Pop! I’m sure I forgot some people here.
Pete: I’d say Todd Rundgren or Aimee Mann. I’ve always wanted to sit in with “Yes” also…
Scott: Elvis, I heard somebody saw him in Omaha last week.
