We had to get out of our first record contract and that took time. We toured for fifteen months on the first record and then it took a year to get out of the contract.

Oh yeah, absolutely. The first record was really indie sounding. We weren’t actually going for that sound. We didn’t really know Albini’s [Steve Albini - Nirvana, Bush] deal.

Better and better. Partially because your time slot rotates. As the day goes on the crowd is more warmed up, people react more, get more comfortable.
