Nate: Actually, we played with Nick's band in this circle of bands that played around Dayton and in Dayton.
Omar: So we knew those guys before we were signed.
Nate: So it's all kind of like connected in a weird way.
Omar: Like it's fate, almost. Do you feel it? Do you feel that? It's fate.
s: Have you ever played any other festivals?
Omar: We played Warped Tour. We actually did play some smaller festivals before that, that we were invited to. They weren't really festivals; they were shows where promoters went ahead and got like 15 bands for the day.
Dave: We're actually playing EdgeFest this year. It's like with TBS. Edge is the rock radio station there. They put like Static-X on the bill with us too, and Puddle of Mudd. Yeah, I don't know, dude. Like I said, we were put together in 2003 by Fred Durst, Flawless Fred.
s: Which kicks more ass, Bamboozle or Coachella?
Omar: Bamboozle! I like a lot of the bands that play Coachella, but one's got like a more party vibe, the other is like high class. We're not classy dudes.
Dave: What the f*** is a Coachella?
s: What do you do to stay calm at a festival? They are often really hectic.
Omar: Hang out with all of our friends, catch all our favorite bands, sweat it out.
Colin: Definitely drink water.
Omar: I try to make new friends.
Nate: Me too.
Omar: I wander… and I go get free merch from bands.
s: What's the most exciting show you guys have ever played? Don't say Bamboozle.
Omar: The show we played in Milwaukee on the Take Action Tour was pretty awesome. We just did that on the tour before this. We had played Milwaukee a couple of times before but the crowd reaction was pretty insane. Not just because of the fact that the kids knew who we were and actually gave a crap to see us. But they knew our songs. I think that was the first time that happened when we were away from home.
Colin: The kids were like chanting our names and stuff before we came out. When we walked on stage, we opened and they just went nuts. It was insane; we were just like, "What's going on?"
Omar: So we knew those guys before we were signed.
