Tell us how that came about, how did you meet Jon and Marsha Zazula?RT- Tell us how and when the band started incorporating techno?RT- Do you listen to much of current techno stuff?RT- It seems like the band is just starting to move into some nicer rooms, how have you responded from a musical standpoint?RT- As you move into larger rooms how do you strike the balance between those fans familiar with your materials who want the big jam songs and the newer listeners who might be interested in hearing a few more shorter songs?RT- Let’s move on to your role as a songwriter. When you bring a new song to the band, to what extent are everyone’s parts written and to what extent does everyone work out their own parts individually?RT- “Mindless Dribble.”RT-One final question.
