Memory of tour:

Spence: The week we got to spend in New Orleans during Halloween between playing Voodoo Fest and The House of Blues. Oysters, po’ boys, beignets, badass musicians at the Spotted Cat, seeing friends and making new ones, crashing on floors, meeting Dr. John, watching the Raconteurs, a late night afterparty seeing Portugal the Man, a Halloween house party where no one knew who the guy dressed in the old man mask, wearing nothing but tightie whities and a bathrobe, giving out gummy bears to strangers from his pocket was… ha!

Era for music:

Shannon: Late ’60’s

Part of making a record:

Spence: Tracking a guitar part that I feel really captures the sounds that I’m hearing in my head.

Shannon:The celebratory vibe. Festivals have this spontaneous celebratory vibe to them that can’t be recreated in a club.

Quote:

Shannon: “You are the Pan.” – Rufio

Thing about the music industry at the moment:

Spence: Independently recording and releasing music is so accessible now.
