IF THERE IS ONE DREAM, ONE IDEAL I HOLD TRUE, IT IS THAT THE PUMPING BLOOD SOURCE OF THE PARTY IS FLOWING FREE.
People are super curious about us. Frequently asked questions:
Does Mimi have a boyfriend? Would she go out with me?
Maybe! She gets around so it's possible.
How should I pronounce FAQ?
- It's open-ended! I personally like to say "FACK." You know, like pronouncing it. Or you can use the acronym F-A-Q, or just embrace the full pronunciation of Frequently Asked Questions.
Where will you be playing next?
- Well, we have been super busy touring with Aerosmith lately. We're trying to find time to squeeze in a European leg of our tour. All European legs are hairy though (at least I've heard).
Nudez?
- Maybe.
Is it really TV Dinner that answers our comments and messages?
- Yeah, it really is! Their true dedication is shown by taking time out of constantly partying in LA to answer them.
Have you ever done Ecstacy?
- No, but we know some people who have apparently.
Do you like the way a fresh coat of paint smells?
- Yeah. I think they should make paint scented so whatever it goes on leaves a faint scent lingering.
How do you feel about the war in Iraq?
- We're more concerned with the war on keeping punk rock alive.
What is everyone's favorite color?
- Joe is a pretty big fan of different off-whites and yellows. Trey likes maroon, and Mimi naturally likes pink cuz she's a girl.
How many rotations did you reach on meat spin while you were typing this?
- 176 and counting!
Aren't you guys publishing a book soon?
- No.
Why don't you guys have more pics?
- We were at a party and Axl Rose pushed Mimi in a pool while she was holding our camera.
Why won't you let anyone take promo pics?
- TV Dinner has been super into the Twilight series lately and likes to think that they are vampires and thus can't be photographed. We've tried!
How many questions can I ask you?
I don't know, how many questions can be asked? (ooooh!)
Do you believe in the idea of a God or higher being?
We know John Crodian, so take that however you want it.
Where did Mimi's hickey come from?
Good question. What a hussy!
Where do you guys get your clothes?
We custom make them!
What instruments and recording equipment do you use, and how does your DIY lifestyle get thrown into the equation?
- Well, to upkeep being DIY for our first two albums we planted trees, and then we chopped them down and fashioned instruments out of the wood. Then, we built a recording studio from the ground up and built all our recording equipment by manufacturing all the raw materials and then putting it together.
You guys are talented and have a real shot in "the business." Are you guys really still teenagers?
Yeah! Really!
Did Alex Tack escape the womb wearing a banjo and sunglasses?
Yes.
I heard your next album is going to be a concept one. What's the story behind it?
Well, we're really inspired by 2112 by Rush and everything in Rocket Story Hero's catalog. So, we're thinking there's going to be a mythical quality about it. Like a boy escapes into the forest on a sleepy afternoon and comes across a dragon and a treasure chest, and... well, we don't want to give it away and I've got a boner.
How do you feel about detailing and declawing pets?
As long as they're still soft and huggy wuggable.
Do you feel like you overuse gang shouts and "whooooooa's" in your choruses?
You can't have too much of a good thing!
What about breakdowns?
Those too. To keep them fresh we use a D-Tuning that I'm sure none of you pussies would know about it.
I just want to say sorry in advance because of my rather lame sister who feels that I should not go see my favorite band this summer but instead go to hear graduation party. Please play more shows so I can see you guys again. Love Nathan.
Just saying you guys should play another show soon. This time I can show up and scream a long to all of your songs and wake up the next day happy with no voice.
