AP: How would you describe your sound?
A cross-pollination of funk, noise, drum and bass, and art rock. Sometimes we do reggae. It all depends on what mood we're in and how much we've had to drink. Last night we had a great Hawkwind jam.

AP: How did you guys start playing together?
We showed up at Solas one Monday night... and returned ever since, along with our little cult following.

AP: Where are you all from?
Belfast, Poland, New York. Hence, all of our accents.

AP:How important are experimentation and improvisation in your performances?
Ummm... pretty essential. Actually, we're entirely dependent on it. We don't care to memorize anything, especially if it's too complex. One of the rules of the band are no rehearsals allowed. This band was born in front of an audience. And will die before an audience also. One secret night we will all commit suicide on stage.

AP: Why are you Invisible?
Voyeuristic possibilities.

AP: What's your favorite key to play in?
Any key as long as its A, E, G, or C. The digeridoo is tuned to D.

AP: Tell me about your gear.
A lot of Moog stuff, big briar theremin, frostwave spacebeam, stylophone, vocoder, a small roland sampler. I personally like anything monophonic.

AP: What do you like better, the physical act of playing the theramin or the way it sounds?
"I love the way it sounds. Check out Rob Schwimmers CD Theremin Noir. He really knows how to play."

AP: How do you manage your time, for practicing and playing, in relation to real life concerns like day jobs, rent, etc?
We just hire people to manage our time.

AP: What do you think of globalization?
Hated it.

AP: Are you aware of ClearChannel/Infinity? How do you feel about them?
Never heard of 'em. Sounds nice, though.

AP: If the PlasterCaster asked you, would you donate your Invisible Swords?
As long as she said "please". We'd also have to make sure that the swords wouldn't be used for evil.

AP: If you were able to clone your dying pet, would you do it?
No, because it would eventually die again.
