psycho. he ended up being fed the "water" by a paramedic as he was lying in the van, but it was his pee.




BYN:wana tell us anther one?
we had to lie down on the freeway in toronto with shotungs pointed at us cause the police thought we tried to kill

someone with a pistol at a gas station two minutes earlier. 23 cops came. it was real.

wake up, eat, drive, load in, wait, play, load out, drive, sleep

BYN: what sort of venues are the best?
venues where the people who work there know what's up and don't get stressed. venues where the sound works and kids

aren't stuck behind a barrier. venues that have a walk in refrigerator that isnt locked.





BYN: how would you describe your fans? any changes in fans? any 60 year olds?
haha theyre weirdos but i love them cause they are the type who like what they like and dont give a fuck. all completely

different styles. definitely some old psychos in there too. it ruels.

yeah we're doing a split with a band that is very dear to us, but it's a secret. :) hopefully i can convince crystal

castles to remix us too. i would love that.

i want them to escape into the story of the song. hopefully they will think about things that normally aren't offered to

them in music.

we look for field recordings of animals, try to put together a novella rooted in science, write some parts on the game

boy, and then make up all the rest of the riffs.

BYN: will you trust yourself when you turn 30 or will you immediately become part of the establishment?
i don't know. i wanted to become part of it one day but i think this ruined me. i don't think i could ever stand

working a real job. but people should probably stop playing music after about 35. if you keep going it's worse than

being part of the establishment.




BYN: what you think of bands now days?
there are two kinds, one kind wants to write good music, and one wants to get famous, make money, and be remembered for

eternity. i like some of each.
