Greg: Hello, Steve.

[gitpop]: Hi there, how’re you doing?

Greg: Good. I just exposed myself to my band members. So we’ve bridged a gap. There’s nothing else that we don’t know about one another anymore.

[gitpop]: Well, it’s all about camaraderie, now isn’t it?

Greg: Yeah, basically.

[gitpop]: So whereabouts are you right now?

Greg: We’re in Dallas, Texas.

[gitpop]: Dallas, okay, cool.

Greg: Yeah, it’s a good city. We had a really good show last night, actually, so we’re happy to be in Dallas.

[gitpop]: So it’s not often I get to talk to the drummer of a band. Actually, I think that’s really cool.

Greg: I guess they let me do interviews now.

[gitpop]: Usually I just get to talk to the singer/front guy.

Greg: We split up the interview load pretty evenly, I would say.

[gitpop]: That’s one of the cooler things about your band. It seems like it’s a real four-way collaboration rather than just a songwriter and a supporting cast.

Greg: We definitely all are committed equally to this band and we always have been. That’s been one of the most important things about it. When we all decided to drop out of school and try to pursue this as a career, we made sure everyone knew and everyone wanted to go that extra mile and, really, um … I’m sorry, my head’s not quite on right yet, but we’re all very happy to be in this band together.
