How do you get to the gig?Procession.

What's the best gig you've been to?Uhm, I dunno, I think seeing Neil Young and Crazy Horse when I was a kid, because it made such a lasting impression on me. Or maybe some of the earliest rave/dance parties I went to as a teenager.

And the worst?One of ours when we had equipment problems.

Ecologically speaking, are you closer to Radiohead or Motörhead?Probably most like buckethead.

Who is the most famous person to have shown up at one of your gigs?I can't think of any, to be honest. I think our audience keeps it real, y'know?

Most embarrassing on-stage moment?We had to cancel a show recently in New York, but I would call that more tragic than embarrassing.

What's your crowd-pleasing number?2 or 42.

Chatting between songs – good or bad?The best, as it allows me to imagine myself as a professional yuckster.

Groupies – would you?Is that a proposition?

How many roadies does it take to change your lightbulbs?Not many. We have a few good folks helping us out.

Have you a special stage wardrobe?No, just two pairs of shoes and some other stuff.

Do you like to meet and greet fans after the gig?Yeah, I do, but sometimes theyre all gone by the time I'm out and about.

Any useful stage tips?Imagine yourself to be a hummingbird.

What's the worst thing ever thrown at you?A yawn.

Who's invited to your aftershow party?Anyone and everyone, but I might take a rain check.
