Playing Along With Records Is Key. And

The Meatbats Are A Throwback Band.

Edible Names Are What Drives Me As A Musician. My Next Band Will Be Called The Hot Dogs.

In Some Of The L.a. Clubs, People Can Act Too Cool To Get Into Your Music. That Can Get To Be A Bit Much.

I Was In Every Band Class I Could Get In, Like After School Jazz Band And Marching Band, And That's Where I Really Learned To Read Music From Elementary All The Way Through Junior High And High School.

I Just Played At A Club In L.a. Called The Baked Potato. It Fits Like 90 People. It's Like Playing Somewhere In A Basement In, Like, Indiana Or Somewhere Where All Your Friends Show Up. It's Really Fun And There's A Very Different Energy To That Than To Play To 50,000 At A Tokyo Baseball Stadium.
