We were just talkin' about bein' in bands and how he was a guitar player. And I told him that I was a singer, which he had heard from about 2000 different guys already because he'd been trying to put a band together. And I don't know, I might have even belted out a couple of lines from Eddie Vedder or something in the hallway at the party and he gave me his number. I ended up going to Atlanta and goin' to school for awhile and like 10-months later I came back into the area and the place I went to work at happened to have a mutual friend that worked there and me and Mike ended up gettin' hooked-up again.

I was a grill cook at McDonalds for a little bit. I did landscape for a little bit. I played a lot in the bar scene, I played countless sets of acoustic songs in that arena.

That's the only way to do it! We're not necessarily such an MTV friendly band where we could just make videos and sell records that way. We have to go out and tour and play in front of people And that's where we shine, is as a live show. That was one thing that we really strived for was to not do anything in the studio that we couldn't recreate live.
