Art of Dying

1. What are 3 records that you can't live without?

Pearl Jam - 10

Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Damien Rice - 0

2. What's the worst place you have ever had to stop and get food on tour?

Worst and the best - Download Festival, Donnington, England, Bangers and Mash...delightfully awful and awfully delightful!

3. What's your take on people who download your music for free?

Bring it on! I mean, we love the support of people paying for our music, but at the same time, I'd rather see you come to our show and meet us in person if that's the only cash you have.

4. Who was your first celebrity crush?

Jennifer Love Hewitt and then, after I got over her, Jennifer Love Hewitt.

5. At what moment did you realize your music career was actually going to be able to feed you?

I used to busk on the street in Vancouver and as soon as I made enough change for a pitcher of beer, I'd head to the Cambie Hotel...so I guess that was the first time music put food on the table. I've always eaten 99-cent pizza and $5 Burger n Brews and I always will.

6. If you could direct a porn scene and have your band's music playing in it, what would the scene be like? (How many people would be performing? Where would it take place? What would they do? Etc.)

The scene would be a secretary fantasy (c'mon, you gotta keep it classy!). An "all natural" girl seducing her boss in an office that smells of rich mahogany and has many leather-bound books. The action gets so hot that the fire sprinklers go off as the chorus of our song "Raining" blares in the background: *Sings: "Inside it's raining, it never lets up."

7. Everyone reading this interview is taking a break from watching porn to find out about you and your music. What do you have to say to all the perverts out there reading this?

Use your free hand to press PLAY on the music, crank it loud, and get back to your goddam porn already!
