We did these three tracks and flew back home. I don't even think the CD was mastered. We just mixed it and put it out. We wanted it to have that spur-of-the-moment, raw feel to it.
When you're walking down the street with a drum set and three amps, people are going to ask what you're doing.
It will be a fun time to be able to play a venue like the Royal Oak Music Theatre and to be able to play a big show for our hometown crowd. We haven't had the chance to do that for a couple of years.
The fact that we were able to get a regular gig doing these conferences and were actually embraced by a lot of the students ... was great, and then to hear that we're nominated not just for best band, but best overall act is a very big honor for us.
When playing music is your passion, you embrace it, and you just go out and do it. Whether you are playing for five people or 5,000, it doesn't matter because you are doing what you love to do.
