Are you completly satisfied about your last work?
We did not feel any pressure from a record company to make the record. We only wanted to make something for ourselves, our families, and our
friends. So, we are very satisfied. We never thought our music would be played in Italy!
Wich are the most important ispiration for doing this new album?
We played many different styles of rock and pop music together for
several years. Then, a few years ago, we all got excited about roots/country music, especially the music of Lucinda Williams. Around
the same time, Becky took several road trips through the American South and Midwest, and she and Mike started writing the songs for this
record.
Is There some others artists that you think important to reccomend
us?
We like Ray LaMontagne, Rufus Wainwright, Ryan Adams, Death Cab For Cutie. Also, many of our friends are great musicians: Noam Weinstein,
Rose Polenzani, Pierce Woodward, Naomi Sommers, Cliff Murphy, Jon Nolan, David Berkeley, and The Everybody Fields. Also, Mike's other
band, Invisible Downtown.
Are there some others projects for the your future?
We are planning on making another record sometime in the next year or
so. Altay and Mike are working on producing several projects for other artists, and Andy plays with many great artists, including Tyler Wood,
Scott Roy, and Tyler Gibbons.
Is there something in your album that you don't like
enough?
We are totally surprised and excited about everything that has
happened to us, and thrilled that so many people are hearing our music. The album is a document of where we were as a band at the time when we
made it, and we are very proud of it. We greatly appreciate your support, and thank everyone who has helped us along the way.
