My first musical experiences were probably that of listening to my dad play the piano and my mom singing along. Then i began taking piano lessons myself, but my teacher was a horrid old bitch, so i quit.

My studies very much influenced my earlier songwriting, which tended to be more cerebral than my current work. Nowadays, i have grown bored of trying to figure things out. i don't read anymore.

Our recent recordings are different from our earlier recordings in that they are more about attitude and less about ideas. Also, in our new live shows, i get to strut around the stage like a rock-star-jack-ass and hurl abuse at the audience, something which they seem to love. go figure.
