What are your greatest influences musically? The Cult, Bon Jovi, Wedding Present and John Denver.

As a radio personality? Howard Stern. I used to listen to him on WNBC in New York. He still had to play records then. Steve Martin is also a great influence on everything I do. He was silly but smart.

Tell me about the band. Do you do stunts with alcohol? My alcohol stunt is that I still have a job and my mom still loves me. I drink a lot onstage but, like onstage things, it's not always what it appears to be.

How long has the band been in Nashville? Four years.

How's the music scene changed in four years? When we came here, there where like two good rock bands, but now there are two amazing scenes happening at the Radio Cafe and the Springwater. It's like Seattle before it got invaded. There's Ole Mossy Face, the Fall City Angels, the Bubblegum Complex, Ghostfinger and so many more. I hate to name names because I'll leave someone out—but tons of great rock 'n' roll.

What's the best thing about being a rock band from Nashville? People here really think it's not going to go anywhere, so it makes for great music. They really think it's just art for art's sake. I'd really like to see that change. People would be amazed at what's out there under their noses.
