How did you first get involved with music?
Matt: Middle school band with Mr. Payne.
Adam: My parents played a lot of music, my dad played the guitar and my mom the piano.
Skylar: I listened to Black Sabbath and really wanted to be a drummer but I lived in an apartment and couldn't play the drums because it was too loud so I got a guitar instead.
Randy: The Portland Public School System. You either had to take half a year of choir or a full year of band and choir was for sissies.
What instruments do you play?
Matt: I stick to percussion
Adam: Guitar, bass, trumpet, drums
Skylar: bass, drums, guitar, piano, keyboard, and more.
Randy: guitar, trumpet, trombone, and more.
Favorite Place to Play a show?
Matt: Floyd's Truck Stop, House 801
Adam: Small venues, one's that can hold 50 people comfortable, up to 80 and that's uncomfortably.
Skylar: GP and High Dive in Denver.
Do you have a "day job?"
Matt: I work at the cinema.
Adam: Well it's actually a night job. I drive a cab.
Skylar: I work at a recording studio.
Randy: Wait tables
Wilson: I work at a record warehouse.
Do you have anyone you look up to?
Matt: People who strive to get somewhere.
Adam: Sincere people, helpful, exciting people.
Wilson: Skylar, and my older brother.
Skylar: Alan Singley, and myself, I wouldn't be where I am today without myself.
Randy: Alan Singley, and local moguls in Portland.
Do you have any pet peeves?
Matt: Disorder!
Adam: People saying "merch" and other unnecessary abbreviations
Skylar: Pictures that are close ups of my face.
Randy: Unpunctual people. I hate how when you say 9 in Portland it means closer to 9:30 or 10
Wilson: Disrespect.
If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?
Matt: Penguin or a koala.
Adam: A well behaved, big dog.
Skylar: Cheetah
Randy: Horse or unicorn.
Wilson: A helicopter, well, I guess that isn't an animal.
Talking with the teachers about things other than music camp was wonderful, we got to learn a lot about them like the fact that Skylar has a very active imagination, he kept us laughing with tales of "Globulan" and "Trekitron."
