I mean it was weird. But Phoenix watched us every night. But it's like they're not even a band, they're like a corporation. They bring a staff of like 40 people.

It was weird [touring with them]. It felt more like we were playing for Phoenix. They asked us because they're fans of what we do.

I like guitar. It just turned out that it's the instrument I learned to play. I have a lot of respect for it and I'm learning more and more everyday.

If I feel like I'm going too far in one direction, I just can it. It's a weird thing. Some of my songs might be cheesy I try and keep it light. It's hard to explain.

Patience is important, and also, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. But if you do, do. That's a general rule in how I live my life.

Going on tour, you don't have a lot of time to mull things over. You're just kind of, Another beer, another show, another song.

I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.

I hate living in a really small apartment, living in a shoebox, not being able to play the drums, not having space. It sucks.

I was having a good time before, but you grow up after a couple years and realize, I can't get drunk like this every night. Things change.

Their [Phoenix] audience wasn't into us at all. The way most of the venues worked was there was no alcohol on the floor so usually during our set most people were in the lobby getting their drink on.

[ If I wasn't making music ] I'd probably end up going to school, I never went to school. Or just give up and get my plumber's ticket and move back to Edmonton and become an alcoholic.

I had a band called the Sound Of Love and that was R&B songs about girls in my high school. I played in some other indie bands who were trying to make it big those sucked. Then I started Makeout Videotape and that was that.

[Making music] only turned into this weird job in the last year or so. Once I figured that out, I was having a blast.

I have a lot of friends that I'd like to shout out but I don't think anyone will know who they are.
