Below are their group responses:
1. What inspired you guys to play music?
Music that we listen to: Our Moms, Ganga Man, William Hung.
2. How has much changed your life?
We have less money than we used to, we either quit school or our jobs. We drink more, but in return we have met some of the most amazing people and have experienced a lot of traveling over the past 8 months.
3. What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music?
Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Bill Monroe, My Morning Jacket, and anything by Jon Brion. "Wait...Daniel who the hell is Jon Brion?" (haha).
4. What advice do you guys have for others that want to pursue in music as their career?
Move in with your parents or find a sugar momma. Make it full time, don't let anyone tell you it is impossible, hustle and always have fun.
5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your band?
A tumbleweed wandered through our neighborhood and told us that we must dedicate our lives to it by forming a band. It also told Zak to take less acid (haha).
6. What do you want your fans to know about you that they might not know already?
Well we are obsessed with burritos; we typically eat one a day or every other day. Daniel is the best at giving hugs, you should probably ask for one after a show. We make each other breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.
7. What are you guys thinking when you are on stage?
It really matters on the show J
Rob: Before I got my guitar fixed I would just worry about it going out of tune. Typically I am feeding off the others playing and the crowd. Trying not to fall when I dance, which I have done before (haha).
Jer: My mind wanders (haha)..
Zak: I wish I had some more beer.
Pat: How is my beard looking?
Daniel: What key the song is in?
8. What song did you guys make together is your favorite one and why?
"Kyle Crocodile" because there are no boundaries for this song. We get to all sing, jam, and dance. It is the first part of our concept album, where a crocodile falls in love with a tight rope walking hippo J
