Q1: In 15 words or less, describe your sound: Swept river manger up from strangers from the you. Swept river rolled hellfire wires.*
* – Since this question is any credible musician’s worst nightmare, I put the lyrics to one of our songs into the “cut up machine” and generated a lyrical montage a la William Burroughs. That should do the trick.Q2: Name three influences that inspire you, with three words each on why they’re awesome:
Lou Reed: genius now ornery
Brooklyn, NY: Such modern history
Vincent Gallo: Style over substanceQ3: What’s a recent song you’ve been digging? Write ten words explaining why:
Dirty Projectors – “Stillness Is The Move”: Makes me happy to see weird music so popular.Q4: In 140 characters or less, how do you use social networking to get the word out: Reluctantly we row the internet buzz boat down the stream. Watch this:
