Guys would hang out in groups just to be with the music.

I have always had a tremendous amount of energy and any band I was ever in from the age of fourteen, I would always be the one who would describe the future and vibe everyone up.

After that, I specifically started writing lyrics. I would like sweat and think and get it all together.

We played at a club called, the Elbow Room. Don Carlos, the nightclub owner, was very hip and a very important person who made a big impact on my life.

For me, naming bands was the forerunner to really writing lyrics, because I work off titles.

Far From Home was also my idea from a magazine I'd seen.
