Thomas: Right now, the most important thing in my life... I think it's the ability music has given me and the rest of the band and everyone I play with, it's allowed me to communicate with people. I don't speak any other languages other than English, fluently, and music is a way of communicating... at different times, with different pieces of music or whatever, it can touch anyone on the planet in a way that language can't break through that barrier. Also the way music allows me to communicate with my friends and friends I've made through it, and it continues to. And we've been doing what we do for seven years. You see a lot of bands come and go. It's a cliche, but it is a fickle business, but to still be doing what we do and still be playing to the kind of crowds we do and to have people appreciate what we do this much... and like I say, the main thing for me, what's really important, is the music – it transcends all of those barriers; race, language, whatever, everything, you know, and it puts everyone on the same plane. Everyone's free to experience that and I think that's the most important thing in my life right now. This page is work in progress, there will be more to come... putting this page together, reading through the transcripts and playing the recordings again has reminded me what's so good about this band.
