The juxtaposition of words - the color, feeling, and sound of the words together - has as much to do with the story as the narrative itself does.

I just love to play and I get a chance to play with other musicians and I jump on it.

Edible names are what drives me as a musician. My next band will be called the Hot Dogs.

Playing along with records is key. And as far as equipment goes it has gotten so much more affordable and the drum sets are of great quality. I play Pearl; their Export Series is great for a beginner.

There's something about the rawness of the live thing, there's no rhythm guitars behind the solo, nothing other than what you hear the people playing at that moment. It's exciting, it's about the performance.

Cardiff Stadium was a warm up for the 3 Hyde Park shows. James Brown opened. And I think it may be the only time we played Mini Epic live.

I'm a little more of a lead instrument in the Meatbats.
