I don't really have any. I'm pretty convinced that at some point we'll end up selling a ton of them because the people that do hear the record seem to really respond to it well. I think it's going to be a word of mouth type thing where people are going to hear the record, get it, play it for their friends. Their friends are gonna wanna have it, go buy it, play it for their friends, and so on. I have a feeling it's going to be a bit like that. As far as us getting on every single radio station in the country, who knows? Yeah, it's possible. I'm not expecting that to happen. I'm expecting to go out there and play for our fans who bought our record and build it.
Who have been some of your favorite bands to tour with over the years?
There's a lot. There's bands that took us out like Everclear and Toad the Wet Sprocket. We had fun with those guys. The ones that we had the most fun with are bands you've probably never heard of because they're bands we came across when we were on the road, fell in love with their sound, their shows, and took them out. Lincoln was one of them. Pure, a Canadian band, was another. Jolene, from North Carolina. Those three were the most fun we had.
Where haven't you toured that you'd like to go?
Japan. I'd like to play in Japan. I've heard a lot about it. Other than that we've played everywhere. We've played in literally every city in the States, Europe, Australia. We might go to South America. That's be kind of cool.
You're involved with an organization called the Buried Heart Society. What is that?
It's a non-profit organization, a benefit for the missing women on the downtown east side of Vancouver. There's a sex trade that goes on there, drugs, so these women were disappearing and nobody was noticing. They were disappearing for 10 to 15 years. They say over 50-60 and probably a lot more than that have actually disappeared. The project is to make aware that these women are down there at risk, and need some sort of protection, and not jail. Jail is clearly not the answer. The project is to raise awareness about the fact that nobody noticed and that there's something clearly wrong when that many women can go missing and nobody pays any attention.
