From what I know about it, it looks like a pretty interesting

Quote: "I never saw a hearse pulling a Uhaul to the cemetery." -That
was from a wandering bum that I gave free coffee to at a convenience store I
worked at.
If you were a loaf of bread what kind would
you be?
Wonderbread
Weirdest news you have read in your local
newspaper:
In our small town, the newspaper used to report when elderly folks
would get together for dinner or lunch and would also tell us what they had.
Why rock music?
Because I can’t rap or sing that well, and because I am not tough
enough for metal.
Have you ever had an embarrassing moment while
performing?
Never. Everything that
happens just adds to the show, but one time a redneck called me a fag for
covering a Kelly Clarkson song. I told him to take off his snow pants and
shut the fuck up. Then he fell over and security threw him out.
What are you currently listening to?
Rocco Delucca
Do you have any pre-stage superstitions and/or
rituals?
I have a ring with a cross on it, and before I go on I always make
sure the cross is pointing away from me. Not sure why. Also, for
some reason, every time we are 5 minutes away from stage time I have to go
number 2!! it sucks.
Which Starving for Gravity song do you most
like to perform live?
Shotdown or Urgency
What is your favorite vegetable?
Tomato, but I think that might be a fruit, cuz of the seed thing?
So olives? Does that count?
Have you had any formal musical and/or vocal
training?
I had two vocal lessons when I moved here a year ago. But
they were expensive so I quit.
If you could do a cover of any song from the
'80's era, what would it be?
"When Doves Cry" -Prince
Withersin loves haikus, please write us one:
....throwing tacos at children that misbehave... is that
right? I didn’t study.
