Next month, you’re going to start touring with Minus the Bear. How did that come about?
MR: They contacted us before about doing a tour. In the past, we weren’t able to do it, because of scheduling conflicts, but this time it was just perfect, because the tour starts right when our CD is coming out. We’re really excited about it, because they’re a really hard-working band, and we all like their music and really respect them. I think this might be the best fitting tour for us that we’ve had so far. We sort of all in our band agree that they’re a little bit… it’s kind of hard to throw them in a similar genre, in a weird way, because I think they got their own ‘niche’ audience that goes to their show. They’ve just been touring their asses off. We couldn’t be happier to be doing it; we’re all really ready to do this tour.

MR: I would have to say, right now, the general feeling in our band is that we like to do opening tours.
