ence. We came to terms and here we
are!
You guys aren't afraid to hit the road to
get your music out there to new fans.
What's your favorite city (or venue) to
play?
We love the road. We are road dogs!
We only do a hometown show prob-
ably once every 3-4 months. We love
every place we play and all the fans and
friends and supporters that we meet! So
it is very difficult to say which we like the
best because we like them all equally!
However, the most memorable ven-
ue was just last Saturday (October 24,
2009) when we played our first ever
ARENA show. We played at the First
Arena in Elmira, NY with Lamb Of God
and Gwar! I cannot begin to explain in
words how awesome and amazing that
whole experience was!
With the music industry changing by the
day, what is your guys' philosophy on
dealing with the business aspect of being
in a band?
We hold true to who we are, what we
do, and what we believe in. We try to
stay educated on where the industry is
going, and what it's doing so that we
can be the first to strike when we need
to. You know what I am talking about
man; you spent years going through
many industry changes with BNS. We
just want to compete and try to be the
first to strike and beat the 30 million
other bands wanting exactly what we
do!
You guys have some pretty high profile
club dates booked. What's your main
objective as far as playing a show with a
big act, such as Lamb of God and Days
of the New?
We just go in, give it all we have, there
is nothing more you really can do. Our
main objective is to be remembered the
next day! It's difficult playing a show in
a new city with a huge national band
that everyone is there to watch. You
have to make sure they tune into you
and that you exceed any expectation
they have for the "supporting" band.
Your live show is always energetic, and
never a disappointment. Where does
this energy derive from?
It all comes from the love of music. We
realize how lucky we are to get to write
music and share it with a LOT of peo-
ple! We feed our energy off that and
of course the crowd who comes to pack
our shows!!! Our fans and friends are
very important to us because they are
the fuel that drives our show! Without
them, we are out of gas!

yourselves during down time?
