I like a lot of west coast stuff like Aerial Pink.

Usually when festivals are really huge it's kind of weird. It's totally fun for me and my band to play in front of a crowd that doesn't necessarily know who we are, but festivals get pretty impersonal when they get super large.

It was weird [touring with them]. It felt more like we were playing for Phoenix. They asked us because they're fans of what we do.

[ If I wasn't making music ] I'd probably end up going to school, I never went to school. Or just give up and get my plumber's ticket and move back to Edmonton and become an alcoholic.

Their [Phoenix] audience wasn't into us at all. The way most of the venues worked was there was no alcohol on the floor so usually during our set most people were in the lobby getting their drink on.

I mean, Manhattan is cool. But weird parts, I like that. Jamaica, Queens, that's great.

Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.
