RO: I like that song "Dancing." Could you tell us a little bit about what inspired that song?
TT: It was a song that Adam came up with and at the time was a lot different from the stuff we were writing. It was really just our first attempt towards a "dance"-type song.
RO: To quote Eddie Money, if you got "Two tickets to paradise / Won't you pack your bags and leave tonite," where would you go if you got those tickets and how long would you stay?
TT: We all have been wanting to go to Japan, don't know how long, but it would be cool.
RO: If you could own a very valuable album (like a first pressing record by the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, Buckingham Nicks, etc), which one would you buy and why?
TT I don't know if it's valuable, but Robo Arigo, Sexy Thing. It's this sick Nigerian funk record from the '80s and there is only a poor digital bootleg available. The original probably sounds amazing.
RO: Lastly, what inspires your music?
TT: Pizza and rock and roll.
