Who or what got you interested in performing music?

"My dad, Kim Travis, was in the record industry my whole life, so I would probably say he had a big part of getting me into it. Of course, I am an avid music fan as well and always was."

Are you an Ohio native?

"No, I moved here from Los Angeles when I was 14. I moved a lot when I was a kid because of my Dad's job. I've lived in four states."

Where are you located now?

"The whole band and my girl friend live in a house in Ohio City on Cleveland's west side. We have a hot tub, sauna, two dogs and a big yard."

How about previous bands?

"Most of the members were in a band called Leo and went on to play in Dozen Dead Roses. Leo had demo deal with Island Records and DDR did pretty well regionally."

What national acts have influenced the band?

"The whole band listens different stuff, so it's pretty eclectic. We listen to a lot of European dance music, R&B and punk. We are really into Soulwax, the Presets, Brazilian Girls and Muse, among a ton of other stuff."

Have you played with any of them in concert?

"We've actually had the pleasure of playing with two of the bands that we look up to a lot, the Faint and the Presets. It was rad."

Any bands from around Ohio catch your ear?

"We've been playing with a lot of local club dj's lately. It's just easier for us since we have so much lighting equipment now. We're not a 'throw and go' band."

Where was the new disc cut?

"Ante Up Audio in downtown Cleveland."

How was this studio experience for you?

"The best studio on the frigging planet. The label we are on is owned by the same people that own the studio, sort of. It's a big family. It was amazing."

How did the band get its name?

"Ugh. I guess it just sounded good at the time."

Has the disc picked up any airplay yet?

"It's still pretty new. It only came out a few days ago."

Long term plans for the band?

"Hoping to rule the world soon. We just want to make music and drive fancy cars."
