Interview: The Scene Aesthetic

Interview: The Scene Aesthetic

Could you introduce yourself for the readers at ForTheSound.com?

[Andrew looking over my shoulder at my questions sheet]

Andrew: Woah! That’s a lot of questions!

[Laughing] It’s not that many. Trust me!  We might not even get to all of them, no big deal.

Andrew: I was just kidddddding! I’m kidding!

They’re all interesting anyways. Promise!

Andrew: Okay!

[Laughing] So…introductions?!

Andrew: I’m Andrew and I play guitar and sing for The Scene Aesthetic.

Eric: Woo. Hoo.

Eric: My name is Eric annnd I sing, in The Scene Aesthetic. And I’m the hype man, on stage.

Andrew: Kind of.  Training – Hype-man-in-training.

Eric: Hype-man-in-training.

Now, I’ve heard the story of how The Scene Aesthetic came to be from Brandon but I don’t think it’s really been shared in depth before, so can you share that story of how the two of you formed the band and the process of writing Beauty and the Breakdown?

Andrew: Oooo.

Eric: Well. Andrew, at the time, was this kid that went to every single show.  I mean, Andrew didn’t – there weren’t too many shows in Seattle that happened that Andrew wasn’t at.  So I saw him at a couple places, and so did my cousin.  And we really liked Danger: Radio, and that was his only band, back them.  So we went out to a couple shows and actually, my cousin like introduced himself to Andrew and they exchanged – I think they exchanged numbers? Or…gave him…his phone number or whatever and my cousin started talking to him.  There was this holiday, or…this Christmas party, that we were going to and we were like, “…dude, let’s invite Andrew, let’s see if he wants to come.”  So, that’s when Andrew met up with us…so, you [directing the story over to Andrew] can explain that…

Andrew: [Laughing] Pretty much, what happened, is that we’d just been hanging out and Eric at some point in time was driving me back to my house and his car broke down on the way home and we started blasting some Hanson…and we were singing along and I realized that Eric could sing…

So…Hanson brought you guys together.

Andrew: Yeah! Hanson did!

Eric: Hanson did.

Andrew and Eric: [at the same time] “Penny and Me!”

Andrew: And we just wrote Beauty and the Breakdown, and we’ve just been doing this ever since.

What was your band’s first show like? Where was it and how have you changed (or not changed) the live show since then?

Andrew: That was a good first show.

Eric: It was. [Laughing]

Andrew: Yeah, we only had like, three songs…I think? Three or – Fou-[Stops and corrects himself while laughing] Three. Yeah.

Eric: Yeah! [Laughing]

Five minute set!

Andrew: Yeah! And we decided that we were still going to play them.  We announced it and it was really cool, like, a ton of kids came.  We played at this place called Ground Zero – it’s like a 200 cap venue.  It’s tiny.

Eric: We have no idea why these kids were really even there.  Like, it was crazy.

Andrew: It was funny because so many of the kids ended up being packed inside of there and then we started playing and halfway into our three or four song set, the fire alarm goes off.  And they made everybody go outside and wait and then come back inside.  And we finished our set.

Aww.  That’s fun though – definitely a memorable first show together haha.

Your latest album, A Type & A Shadow, is particularly special as it came after a two-year hiatus.  Andrew was busy with his commitment to Danger: Radio, and Eric was in, Argentina I believe?  Do you want to elaborate on the past two years away from the US and from TSA?

Eric: I was down in Argentina for two years on a mission trip for my church and it was really cool.  I got to learn a second language that I’m fluent in now.  I hope I can remain fluent in it – I just have to practice a lot more than I do and just keep studying, but it was just awesome to be able to do that and to meet so many people down there that are awesome and that I’ll never forget and that I’ll keep in touch with forever.

Do you think that you’ll go back to Argentina anytime soon?

Eric: Yeah! Oh, maybe…in anytime soon?…Maybe in like, the next five or ten years I’ll go back down. That’d be cool.

Andrew: And me. I’ve just been, touring.  Touring a lot. I think Danger: Radio played about 280 shows last year and then we toured all the way up until about March or so.  It was a busy few years while he was gone.  I was still writing and I finished a couple songs and I was demoing them out and sending them to Eric.  And yeah, I mean, just kind of keeping busy.  It was pretty crazy.

Did you kind of, plan that trip [to Argentina] around Andrew’s other touring schedule?  Or how do you guys go about balancing that?  Is it even an issue that you plan out ahead of time, being in two bands and all?

Eric:  Well, with the two years… It was just like, dude, I’m gonna leave and if this thing is still around when I get back and we still feel the same way, we’ll keep going with it.  But, we’d [at that point] had an awesome run with it and so…yeah.  It was!

What was it like coming back and reuniting on this process after being apart for so long?

Andrew: Weirdly enough…it was almost like he had never left. [Laughing] It didn’t feel like he had gone anywhere.

Everyone: [Laughing]

Andrew: It was like, “Oh, Eric came over [today].”  [Said in a very ‘matter of fact’ manner]

Eric: [Laughing] Yeah.

I think you guys played like, that same week that he came back.  Right?

Eric: Yep.  It was crazy!

Andrew: Yeah.

You cover Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” on the Destiny Worldwide compilation album Rockin’ Romance, what made you choose that song over any other song?

Andrew: Honestly, I was just hearing that song all the time.  I’ve grown very familiar with her entire album.  I just – I love her.  I just think that she’s incredible.  And, I don’t know it was kind of funny…we’re like these two dudes in this band and it’s a really funny song [for them to be singing].  We heard a lot of different versions where people, guys in the band, would change the words in the song and we were like “Whatever! We’re not going to change it!”  It’s just hilarious.  So it’s kind of like, personally, when I’m choosing covers, I think it’s better to do the ones that are like maybe, more humorous and that everyone will know, rather than like credible songs…that not a lot of people may know.  So I always like to choose the funny ones.

Were there any other songs that you were debating about covering for the album?

Andrew: Not really…we didn’t even really know- Oh wait! You know what, yes actually.  We recorded a cover of Edwin McCain’s-

Eric: “-I’ll Be.”

Andrew: Yeah, “I’ll Be.”

…I love that song. [Laughing]

Eric: Oh, weird – yeah! [Laughing] I forgot that we did that song, too!

Andrew: [Singing] “I’ll be…your crying shoulder…”

Maybe I used to listen to that song on repeat…[Laughing]…Total confession right there!

Andrew: It’s a good song!

Eric: Yeahhhh!

Can fans expect more pop covers in the future?  Are there any that you are working on right now?

Andrew: You know…possibly!  There’s a lot of really good songs out there and I’m always really bored and learning other peoples stuff so…I know a lot of really dumb covers! [Laughing]

You might have to bust them out tonight.

Andrew: Bust em outtt! Cover set!

You were saying before that you went to a lot of shows growing up – What was the first show or concert you went to? Who did you go with/what was it like?

Andrew: The first show I ever went to was a Green Day show.  It was a free show but you had to like, win tickets off of this radio station.  I went with two of the guys in Danger: Radio and it was in 7th grade.

That’s awesome.

Eric: That’s crazy!

That’s such a good first show, right?!

Andrew: I know.  And I had never crowd surfed or been in a mosh pit but I was like –

All in!

Andrew: I’m goin’! I’m doin’ it all! …I got beat up real bad [Laughing] but it was so fun.  All up until I was like 17…I did that.  I was like in the mosh pit, crowd surfing, losing shoes, getting dropped.

You might have to start doing it again…

Andrew: Nah! I’m a little old now!  It looks really fun but I think shows were more fun when I was in high school.

How do you think they have changed?  Or do you just think that’s because you were younger in those days?

Andrew: well, maybe…or probably errr, maybe it was because I was younger, but also music has just changed a little bit.  Like, when I was in school pop punk was really a big thing and it was a lot more fun, I guess, to fight people you don’t know and crowd surf and get crazy.  I feel like shows now are a lot more tame.  Like, there were points where, like when I went to my first Warped Tour I was in eighth grade and there would be times where you’d be crowd surfing and there would be 30 other people also crowd surfing at the same time, during the same set.  And you’re just like, hitting each other and like…it’s not like that anymore.

Eric: No, it’s not.  It really isn’t.

Andrew: So I think kids now are more tame, but I also think that kids now are younger that are going to shows.  And girls that go to shows… I think some of the girls going to shows are a little different than the t-shirt and jeans wearing girls that I went to shows with.

And then just that fact that there are so many girls at the shows now.  It’s like, mostly girls.

Andrew: There’s lots of girls. When I went [to shows] it was primarily dudes.

Eric what was your first show?

Eric: My first show that I went to, like show-show, I went to my first concert when I was really young with my family – The Beach Boys, but-

Andrew: – me too! Tim Noah. [Laughing]

Eric: But my first show that I went to, I forget what tour it was but it was The Starting Line and Taking Back Sunday.

Nice.

Eric: It was awesome.

Andrew: That was your first show?!

Eric: That was my first show.

Andrew: Dang. You came in late in the game!

Eric: I did.

Andrew: I went to like six dates of that tour.

[Laughing]

He was a pro by then!

Andrew: It wasn’t out with Richard. Richard didn’t come out for those.  It was Jolie and Amanda.

Eric: Crazy.

Andrew: We just like, drove down the west coast [Laughing].

Eric: Those were great shows.

Andrew: The Early November was on that tour too.

Eric: You’re right. Who was the opening band?

Andrew: Ehhh. I forget.

Eric: Crazzzy.

What kinds of things have you learned from growing up on the road and touring?

Eric: You were Blink-182 [to Andrew].

Andrew: Oh I went and saw Blink 182 but it was…our tour manager, Aileen, was kind enough to invite me to go see a Blink-182 dress rehearsal. So it was like, a friends and family show and it was like, maybe 5-700 people.  It was all industry people and like no one was moving or anything.  Ashlee Simpson was there and Seth Green, and all these people, and I was just like, “This is weird…!”

Are you going to any more of the dates?

Andrew: I would like to.  They’re playing…we’ll be back home by the time they get to Seattle.  So that’s good.

Nice. Yeah, my date is next week out here.  So excited.

Andrew: When I heard that they were touring again I think I peed my pants.

[Laughing] I think everyone did!  There was like a combination of excitement and…fear, that they just wouldn’t be what everyone remembered them as being.

Eric: Yeahhhh. That’s exactly it.

Andrew: Dude, the stage set up is so insane.  It’s incredible.

Can’t wait!

What kind of things have you learned from growing up on the road and touring?

Eric: Andrew has plenty.  Then I’ll share a few.

Andrew: Take a shower whenever you can, ‘cause you never know when the next time is.  Pack a lot of underwear.  I don’t know…your computer is pretty much your best friend.
Your life line.

Andrew: It really is.  Because, you don’t have a lot of things to do in the van and it’s just like, you just kinda’ chill.

What are some other things you guys do to try to pass time when you’re driving? Any weird things you’ve ended up doing?

Eric: Things we’ve done.  To pass the time…hmmm.

Andrew: We’ve definitely like, written signs a few times and shown people that were driving by, who had like no idea…just asking them like, really stupid questions.  [Eric starts laughing] What else have we done to pass the time?

Eric: I’ve watched entire seasons of shows haha.

Andrew: BOOK on tape.  In the whole van!

Communal reading.

Everyone: [Laughing]

Andrew: Yeah! One of the guys in Danger, I think it was Nico, and he started playing this book and we were just like “What?!” And he was like, “Yeah, I put it on my iPod, I’m going to listen to it.”

…was it good at least?!

Andrew: I don’t even remember haha I think we all ended up passing out.  But that was really weird! [Laughing]  That’d be so funny though like – dictionary, on tape.

Everyone: [Laughing]

Eric: You’d learn so much!

Yeah but it’d probably be so boring!

Eric: Yeah haha, it probably would be.

Is there anything that you wanted to add that you’ve learned from touring? [to Eric]

Eric: Yeah, I’d just say, mainly…Okay, I’m kind of a hypocrite in saying it because I don’t always do it but try and take care of yourself because you really are eating so much fast food that you aren’t getting the vitamins that you need or that you might if you were at home eating and cooking.  So take vitamins and try to eat healthy.

Is there anything that you’ve learned from other bands while touring with them?  Any good advice from them…like, on how to live on tour?

Eric: Good question.  That’s a really good question…

Andrew: I’m trying to think.  That is a really good question…I’m trying to learn some stuff, mainly about instruments and that sort of stuff.  You’re with a lot of bands that have been doing it for a lot longer than you, and they’re just giving you like, little hints here and there about how you should string your guitar and you know, this and this.  It’s really funny because like, even today with Stephen Jerzak, who is on our tour right now, was stringing his guitar and I was like, “Hey! You’re doing it wronggggg. You shouldn’t do it that way.”  Just like little bits of advice.  Other than that, I’m sure there are definitely things and that you pick up stuff from people but I don’t know I’m not really sure right now, other than that.

Eric: I would almost say the same thing [as before], just like on how to take care of yourself.  We’re really close to the people in Lydia.  And I know that Mindy has given you advice on what to do if your throat hurts and if you’re just not feeling so great.

Andrew: Oh yeah!

Eric: Just advice on if you’re not feeling so great and what to do.

Andrew: Hot tati tea! It’s tea, honey, and some whiskey.

…Sounds, uh…delicious…?

Everyone: [Laughing]

Did you try it? Does it work!?

Andrew:  Apparently it’s a southern thing and like, everybody – I went down south and I was like, “Do you know what hot tati is?”  And they were like, “Yeah! Of course, it’s to help your throat. Do you use that?!”

And you’re like, “Now I do!”

Eric: Yeah!

Andrew: haha yeah! I mean, I guess! I Tried it. I did.  It doesn’t taste that bad but it is interesting.  And it did help!

That’s good!

This is the first day of the A Summer to Remember tour; do any past summers stand out as particularly memorable to you?  Whether it was recently or a memorable summer from when you were little kids.

Eric: Ooo. Good question.

Andrew: The first summer that I did Warped Tour. It was so good.

The first time you were on it or went to it?

Andrew: No, the first time that I went to it.

So like, eighth grade I think you said before?

Andrew: Yeah so I was in about eighth grade, or maybe it was even freshman year of high school.  Eminem played and he was opening, on the main stage.

Eric: Whhhhat?!

Andrew: And Kook Kieth. Annnnd Blink-182 played, Fall Out Boy played on one of the smaller stages, it was – dude – Warped Tour used to be cool.

I mean, it’s not really…uncool now…it’s just not -

Andrew [and Natalie - spoken at same time]: …as cool.

Andrew: Right, exactly.  Like, I went to Warped Tour and My Chemical Romance played one year.  I also saw My Chemical Romance open for this band called Piebald.

Everyone: [Laughing]

Andrew:…there were about ten people there haha. That is no longer the case! N-,no, no but it was really cool.  My Dad took us and we all camped out because at The Gorge in Seattle there’s this whole camp area and you camp out overnight and it gets like…crazy at night.  There’s people like blowing up port-a-potties and all this stuff. I remember my Dad just passed out, he was like…whatever.  He let us all walk around…we’re like these little kids and we’re walking around where all these people are wasted.  It was really funny.  It was a really fun time.  We brought a ton of people with us and my Dad just drove everybody.

What about you? A memorable summer? [to Eric]

Eric: Yesssss! The summer that I accomplished all of my summer reading for like third grade.  I was given a list and I read all of the books.

I think at my school we only had to read like, one book over the summer.  You had a whole list?!

Eric: We had this list.  It wasn’t like…required reading it was like, you earn prizes.

Andrew: Dude, that’s how it was for me too.  Except you didn’t earn prizes….you earned better grades.  [Laughing]

Eric: HEY!!! Oh my god! Do you guys remember…did you ever have like, these giant pin on buttons and it was called like, Book-It.  And they would give you a star and once you filled up your button with like five stars, you took it to Pizza Hut and they would give you a free personal pan pizza.

We did not have that.

Eric: You didn’t have that?!

Andrew: No…

We had like…paper flowers that hung on the wall at school and for every book you read you got another flower petal added. Uhhh…definitely not as exciting haha.

Eric: Not. As. Cool.

Andrew: Our school did not cut us like, any slack like that haha.  It was like…this is your thing, if you read this many points you-

-You can graduate haha.

Andrew: haha yeah! If you read this many points you can go to the next grade!  And then if you were an accelerated reader you had like this long list of books to read and each book was worth a certain amount of points.  I would always try to read like, the biggest book so that I’d just get it done. Okay, but I wouldn’t actually read the biggest book – I would read the Cliff Notes to the biggest book – and then take the test and I would always get an A!

Eric and Andrew: [Laughing]

Eric: You…little…conniving cheater!

Andrew: [Cracking up] And my mom was totally into it.  It was so funny because I was in like middle school and I was reading like Don Quixote and Jane Eyre and all these books, like Charles Dickens books and all my teachers were like “Wow! If you like this book you should really read this book!” And I’m like…

“Do they have Cliff Notes for it?!”

Eric: “Only if there’s Cliff Notes!”

Everyone: [Laughing]

I remember in high school, for summer reading we thought that we could get away with only reading half of the book. So, for The Grapes of Wrath, we only read every other chapter…only reading the short chapters.

Eric: Ohhh no…

Turns out the short chapters aren’t actually a part of the story.  Every other chapter was different background information.  We had no idea what was going on and missed the entire plot of the book haha.

Eric: Ohhhhh haha.

Didn’t turn out so well for me haha. Cliff Notes helped out in that case too though!

Andrew: It’s crazy.  In high school they don’t let you get away with it because they know that you’re going to read Cliff Notes so they always ask you the dumb questions on tests – “What color was his shirt?”

Everyone: [Laughing]

Andrew: [as if he was trying to answer the question] “Dang it!”

I probably wouldn’t have known those answers even if I did read it.

Eric: That’s just the thing!  They just have to make a Cliff Notes for all the stupid facts in the book…

I think there’s a market for this. Side career!

Andrew: Millionaire!

On this tour, you’re doing special “hang out” sessions before each show in parks and areas near the venue; what made you incorporate this into the tour?

Andrew: It was like, really, I don’t know exactly, but I know I had asked Eric about it before…like way before…it was on our last tour, and I was just like, “Dude, how cool would it be if we just set up times where we would just hang out with all the kids before the show and just did stuff with ‘em?”  And I forgot where I got the idea for it but then it was weird because our friend Stella, who is a part of this organization called Steal, Kill, and Destroy (who is with us on this tour) and she was like, “Hey Andrew, I’m planning this tour over the summer and I really want, you know, to get you guys on it, we’re going to be doing hang out sessions with all of the kids before the show.”  And so I was like, oh weird, I already wanted to do that already!  It’s really cool.  I think the kids really dig it, and I know that they appreciate it.  I just remember always being younger and when bands would actually spend time to talk to you – and how much it meant to me.  Like, in that case, it has influenced me, as a musician, in a lot of ways.  I grew up going to All-American Rejects shows and Fall Out Boy shows and you know, it’s just like crazy…I think I was a sophomore in high school when I went to this Fall Out Boy show and there were like fifty kids there, but they invited me into their conversion van and we like, played Xbox.  It was like – I feel like little things like that can just change someone’s life so much and ya know, just knowing that someone cares about you, I think is really important.  We really appreciate our fans a lot.

You recently did a free show in California on the beach and, from the pictures, it looked like a really amazing day for everyone who attended and participated, how did that show come about?

Andrew: Well yeah, it’s kind of funny.  In that case, it was like, I wanted to do that as soon as we started recording.  I told Eric about it and then Forever the Sickest Kids did one while they were recording their EP and I saw pictures of it and it went so well that I was like – we can’t not do this.  This is amazing.

It seriously looked like so much fun.

Andrew: Honestly, it just was so much fun.  We hung out, we bought a Frisbee and a football and we all went swimming.  The lifeguard there, because there were so many of us swimming, the lifeguard got like really scared because the waves were so big.  So he came down and was like, just stick together and stay on this side…are you guys…all swimming…?  He was …freaked out.  And we all just ran into the ocean, with all of our fans.  It was hilarious.

That’s really cool.  Do you think you guys will do that again?

Andrew: Yeah! Definitely.

Eric: Absolutely!

Andrew: Next summer, or actually probably on this tour, we’re going to be at the beach for a few days.

Eric: Yeah, we might as well.

On this tour you have a collab shirt with Invisible Children.  How did you first start getting involved with this organization?

Eric: I started watching the films when I got back and like, I honestly think that there is something wrong with you if you can watch that film and not be affected by it and not be emotionally affected by it.  So, I think I put off watching it for a while because. I knew…I knew that there was something special about it.  It’s an amazing cause and I think that the people that started it are just like, awesome too.  And that it’s awesome that there’s still awesome people like that in the world that despite how much-

And also that they are young people [running Invisible Children].  That’s the thing – They are our age.

Eric: And they are making a difference and changing the world.

Andrew: I think that our generation is looking at things so differently than from before.  And we’re definitely trying to make improvements and move forward with things.  And I think that it’s really important and I think it’s so awesome that so many young people will have gotten involved because it seems like, in the past, until recently the last four years or so over this new election and everything coming down, nobody really paid attention – until everything really started going down the drain and things were just getting awful.  I feel like it opened a lot of people’s eyes and a lot of younger people really started getting involved and I feel like that’s a really big reason in why things are starting to change.

Absolutely.  Did you guys go to The Rescue or How It Ends or any of the recent Invisible Children events?

Eric: The Rescue, we had this like, really big college festival show that we had committed to prior to.  The Rescue fell when we flew home from a Danger: Radio tour.  It was right when The Rescue was going on.  I would have been there in a heartbeat but there was just no way.

It was incredible.  I didn’t know that much about it before I went to it, but one of my friends was really involved in it and asked me to attend.  It was just so incredible seeing that kids were putting on this massive event and being so involved and active in making a difference.

Eric: Oh – it changes you. Absolutely.

Andrew: Our friend Amy, Amy Karr, is about to leave for Uganda really soon and she was at The Rescue in Chicago and did something in D.C.

Eric: Yeah, the Lobby Days.

Andrew: It’s just really cool hearing her talk about it.  She’s just so passionate about it.   It’s awesome.

And it’s awesome that you guys have made that shirt with Invisible Children and are helping to raise awareness on these issues.  Are there any other non-profits that you’re passionate about?

Andrew:  I really like Keep-A-Breast.  The girl that started that, I think her name is Erica – she is an amazing person and I think they do such great things for people.  And Shirts For A Cure is another, they’re really amazing.  All of these companies are non-profits – they are doing them just because they really believe in them.  Also, Keep-A-Breast and Shirts For A Cure really work to keep bands involved and all of that.  I feel like when you’re put into a situation where you are easily able to influence a lot of people, you know, you have somewhat of a responsibility – and I feel like if you really believe in something – then you should talk about it and just open people’s eyes a little more.  The more people that help, the faster that things get done.

Eric: Absolutely.  That’s a really good way of putting it.

It’s a cool power to have too.

Andrew: It’s really cool. And even, like, I remember for a short period of time there were some female artists that were doing molds for Keep-A-Breast.

Oh yeah, where the artists would go and paint the molds after, right?

Andrew: Yeah.  I think like, Katy Perry did one and there were a few people that did them.  And they would donate them and they would sell for a lot of money.  It’s really cool to see like, more artists and stuff getting involved in things like that.

Any final words for the readers at ForTheSound.com?  Or were there any specific topics that you had been hoping to talk about?

Andrew: We just finished recording our brand new album.  We were just down in California for a few weeks recording with this amazing producer named Marshall Altman.  We’re really excited, so we hope to finish that pretty soon and get it out.  It should be awesome.

Was that your first time working with Altman?

Andrew: Yeah, it was our first time.  And it’s a little bit different than I think what most people would expect but I think it’s gonna be awesome. He’s a great producer.  He does a lot more like, I don’t really know, I guess…have you ever heard of Matt Nathanson?

Yeah, of course.

Andrew: He works with Matt Nathanson a lot, and Ingrid Michelson.

That’s fantastic.  They’re incredible.

Andrew:  So I think it’s a little bit different sound-wise, than what kids would expect.  But I think it turned out amazing.  We really couldn’t have asked for better musicians or anything.

Eric: And honestly, it was the first time that Andrew and I ever really co-wrote with someone outside of the two of us for a song.

Andrew: Right.

Eric: And we worked with some amazing people, like – it was awesome.  It was crazy because I think we were both kind of nervous about it, I think, but excited at the same time.

Was [writing with other musicians] something that you intended to do when you went to go record?

Andrew: I think so.  It’s really cool because like, for me, as an artist…I know what my limits are for things.  And I love that when you work with someone else, that they are just bringing something new and they are pushing you to do something that you normally wouldn’t do.  And I think that it’s something really cool because every time you do it, you come out of it and you-

Eric: -You grow.

Andrew: Yeah, you grow a little bit and you’re learning something new every time.  I think it turned out really cool.  We worked with this guy called Cary Brothers.  He is – awesome. He had a song on the Garden State Soundtrack.  It was really cool.

Sounds incredible!  Anything else, guys?

Andrew: Just come see us!

Eric: Come hang out.  We’re hanging out before all of these shows because we truly just want to hang out with the kids.  So, come hang out.

Thanks guys!

Andrew: Thank you!

Eric: Thank you!
