1. Is it true that you guys have been a band for more than ten years?
Answer: Yes, please believe it. We started in ’95 as 14 year olds – Matt’s mom would make us cookies during practice, which was sweet. Since then we’ve all gotten a little older, a little wiser, and a lot drunker. We stay on our grind, cousin.

2. Aren’t you guys sick of each other yet?
Answer: Yes, absolutely. You probably can’t find a group of dudes who hate each other more. But at this point we’re sticking together for the money. Period. And let us tell you, it has been very lucrative to this point – why just the other night on tour Aaron slept under a kitchen table.

3. What’s it like being from Minneapolis/the Midwest?
Answer: It rules. We rep that set pretty hard, son. Minneapolis is an amazing city full of a ton of young, creative, cooperative people who are trying to build something sweet. The Midwest is also sweet but for more rugged/grizzled/agricultural/character-building reasons. We encourage you to visit both places.

4. What is a typical night on tour like for you?
Answer: On our way into town, we formulate questions we want to ask of the townsfolk. We then use these questions throughout the night to provide ourselves with an extremely thorough understanding of that local area’s economic history, cultural offerings, geopolitical underpinnings and locations of its cheapest cases of beer.

During our set, there is usually a lot of sweat, movement, flailing, and the occasional onstage vomit due to dehydration.

After the show, people usually let us party at their house, and we do just that my friend.

5. How deeply rooted in the rap game are you?
Answer: Waters run so deep, nephew. Our guitar player Aaron makes flame-broiled heat banger beats as “Lazerbeak” in the Minneapolis hip-hop collective known as Doomtree. In addition, all the rest of us specialize in one of the four elements of hip-hop. Matt has been breakin’, poppin’ and lockin’ since birth. Jordan’s been throwing up hot burners all over the American railroad tracks for over a decade as “Quack-One.” Jeff spins spitting hot lava flames of DJ cuts down at the Hexagon every ninth Wednesday night (ladies drink for free from 6-9 PM).

6. Why are your lyrics all about like dragons and natural disasters and shit? That’s weird.
Answer: Cause that stuff is crazy to think about, dun. Don’t you agree? Those are all things that should be sung about in song form. Seriously though our lyrics are about triumph, unity, friendship, passion. Oh and chainmail. Lots of chainmail.

7. What’s each member’s favorite drink?
Answer: Matt likes cheap gin. Aaron likes Budweiser. Jeff likes Sparks. Jordan likes straight tequila – none of that pussy-ass salt shit. If anyone out there who makes these libations would like to sponsor us and provide us with free samples, we will gladly entertain offers.

8. What are your guilty pleasures?
Answer: Aaron likes R. Kelly and Nick and Jessica’s “Newlyweds.” Jeff likes Coldplay and spreadsheets. Jordan likes Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts films. Matt “never feels that guilty about pleasure” (said with a knowing glance while sipping a snifter of cognac).

9. If you could be any professional basketball player who would you guys be?
Answer: Jeff likes to compare our band to Sam Cassell – a feisty clutch three point shooter with a weird-looking head. But in realty, we’d go with Kevin Garnett. Our devotion to that man runs deep. T-Wolves in ‘o6.

10. Do you guys blog?
Answer: Fuck yeah, dude. We blog 24/7. Check out our blog at blog.bloggertonbloggernog.bloggercom. We have emoticons to tell you how we’re feeling.
