“We have been playing together a little over a year. SlossFest last year was when we were officially together. This is our anniversary and the biggest show we have played.”

“Playing here was surreal. We got two songs in and I realized we are really up here.”

“You have to say something about being in the band.”

“He squats 250.”

“I do, ten times a day, I have to stay fresh. He is kidding, I barely weigh 150 pounds soaking wet.”

“Dirty Rainbow!! was our first album with the first incarnation of the band. The two exclamation points are crucial because without you don’t get 14 characters, which is a multiple of 7, which is the color spectrum.”

“We are so deep.”

“We used to wear suits, but saw the cover of The Lonely Island album Turtleneck and Chain and went for the maroon turtlenecks.”

“We are game for anything and jump in and have fun.”

“Not everything works, but we learn from trial and error.”

“Our genre is psychadelic punk with a southern touch. There is a concept. We are escaped witches from the Blue Mountain Research facility. We are wearing guard uniforms.”

“We get the ideas while we are doing squats.”

“Over the last year we have learned to work together and to have a sound. It takes time to develop the intuitive sense to be one thing and to know what is going on in each others’ heads. Ryan will start playing a drumbeat or Ahmad plays a bass line and know exactly what is in my head. I add to it and it all comes together. It was a grind and halt process but now I have starting points and it explodes from there.”

“When I started the band, we just did White Stripes covers and Jack got the color scheme from a burned peppermint of burned white and red. The name helps remember where the music started.”
