Do you guys consider yourself a ska band or more a Dixieland punk band with a pirate attitude?
Definately, the second. We still do play ska and always will but what makes our band is more of the dixie/punk kinda sound. But if someone wants to call us a ska band I don’t mind. There wrong, but I don’t mind. Noone in the band is scared of the “S” word.

What is the ultimate magazine to bring on tour?
Ones with lots of pictures like Better Homes & Gardens or Cat Fancy. I just can’t make up my mind. You’d think after touring for five years I’d have a favorite but I just can’t decide

I have no clue who you’re talking about. I bet that would get alittle annoying. That was awhile ago so I bet she listens to emo now so I’d tell her shut the fuck up, smile, and drink a beer.

Would you rather drink a quart of your own urine or a Dixie cup of someone else’s sperm?
Urine, sperms not all that it’s cracked up to be.

I Like to Cook, Read, and play music. I’ve got a great bunch of friends that all enjoy to do the same so we hang out and enjoy life.

Ok, I’m going to give you a multiple choice question about me.. What was the main reason why I got fired from a Web Design job in 2000? A) Had sex with a female co-worker on my desk. My Boss caught me and fired me on the spot. B) Didn’t clean up my Su

What’s your feelings on this garage rock shit coming out all of a sudden?
I’m very pessimistic about new “HOT” music. So I’d have to say that I don’t like 99% of it. I just don’t care about new bands that people talk about. These days I live in my own world or reggae,jazz,polka,calypso,klezmer,exc… I haven’t been to the current rock,pop,punk section of a record store in a long time. I go straight to the international/jazz section then right out the door.
