Where are you from and when did you get started?
KII: I am from Whidbey Island. I started when I was 8.
Brian: Originally I am from Illinois, but moved to Washington State in the mid-2000s. I met these nerds between 2007-2010 and we decided to start this band in 2015 as an excuse to use the gravity bong at the old practice space.
Jeff: We’re Four Lights from Seattle, WA.
Who are you and who does what in the band?
KII: I am KII and I play Drums.
Brian: I’m Brian and I play bass and sing back ups. I am also responsible for the majority of press photos, album layouts, and all of the video work that we do.
Jeff: I’m Jeff, and I play guitar and sing backups.
Dan: I’m Dan! I sing and play the guitar!!
How would you best describe the sound?
Brian: Power-pop masquerading as pop-punk (or maybe vice versa).
Jeff: I’m terrible at describing the sound, but I agree with the others. Power pop with heavy pop punk roots.
Dan: Yeah, the other dudes really nailed it.
Dream rock moment (real or not)?
Brian: Meeting Tom Hanks.
Jeff: An opening slot on the next Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters world tour.
Dan: Bracket or The Impossibles decide to do a tour and bring us along.
Still got day jobs?
Dan: I am an IT manager for a long term care company.
KII: Yup. It’s OK. That’s what the therapist says to tell myself anyway.
Brian: Yes and it’s slowly killing me.
Jeff: Up until recently, I’ve had plenty of joe-jobs; nothing I’d call a career. Let me put it this way: I have an extensive collection of nametags and hairnets. Right now I work in a lab, in the nanotechnology field
Any regrets?
KII: Just that day old pizza.
Brian:Wearing these fucking suits in the summertime.
Jeff: I regret choosing a “D” instead of a “B”, in the Wheel of Fortune bonus round.
Dan: I regret letting the other dudes answer questions in interviews haha
