It's our joy. We're hearing it come together for the first time. The gigs are great, of course, but those Mondays are our secret little thing. |
There are some things that are more difficult and commercially successful. Writing original songs is more gratifying on some level. But this is so much damn fun because we invented it and perfected it. The fact that we let the music speak and then poof! -- it's gone -- manages to somehow give us artistic integrity in a cover-band framework. We've got something magical here, and we have to protect it. We don't want to suck any of the joy out of it. |
There's still a lot of low-hanging fruit even four years in. There's no end to what we can do. |
We consider ourselves to be the Civil War re-creationists of music. We're paying tribute to the song and the artist, but we serve the song. At first, we were sort of like a secret club but now it's not so secret anymore. |
We're sort of like musical anthropologists. |
