We'd have to suck away at oxygen canisters between songs just so that we could keep playing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We would play, then they would play a set, then we would jam on the last song.
The apparatus has to serve our improbability and improvisation. Being good and playing the songs is not enough.
Our idea is simply to play the songs and to emphasize our musicianship.
Sometimes we drop in and do an acoustic set somewhere, and that's really fun to take all these insanely loud songs, and to do them quiet. It's really a sight to see... or to hear!
I make music to generate atmospheres, not to complement already existing ones.
Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.
We went through this business of me writing out all the parts for these old songs from Gravity and Speechless and we'd been performing that, but we don't do that any more.
Once we're inside a tune, we can do anything with it.
There are so many songs that we just don't play anymore.
We would turn everything into songs in those days.
