I was searching Daytrotter for new bands to interview and after a slew of whatever bands or bands that were to hoity toity to invite, I came across Sleep Out. A great down to earth and genuine band with genuine tunes, I played only ten seconds of the first song Daytrotter posted and knew this was the next band. And I was right! Thank you Sleep Out.

Q1.What is the most outrageous thing you have ever done to impress someone you were interested in?
A1. When I was 16 I tripped a girl in the study area at our high school and made her fall backwards over another friend who was kneeling down behind her. Probably the meanest thing I have ever done and it was just because I had a crush on her. I felt pretty terrible about it. We were friends at the time but I’m sure she kind of hated me for it. We lost track of each other after high school and college. Then we became friends again about 5 years ago and got married this summer – so I guess in the end, it was impressive.

A2. Definitely an optimistic realist.

Q3.What’s your favorite Ology?
A3.Zoology / Ornithology / Apology

A7. To my wife for tripping her back in the day. I think I already apologized for that though. One more time can’t hurt.

Q8.What do you hate/dislike doing but must do anyway?
A8.I hate running but do it anyway. Me and Pete (bass) play on a soccer team together and have a lot of fun doing that but I like soccer because there’s someone else to compete against. When I go running I’m competing against myself and am not to great at that. I just punched myself and told myself to try harder.

A9. Edited.

Q10.What food do you hate?
A10. A tie between capers and mayonnaise. Everything else is all right by me.
