Moffat » That we like disco just as much as we do rock. I also think Ransom’s lyrics are unlike anything else other bands are doing. We’re not afraid to tell the story of the universe using the 3:30 pop song formula.

Wydner » We try not to take ourselves too seriously. I’d say that’s the theme. Everything’s a bit off, a smidge strange, a little weird. There’s a place for serious, sure, but we’re at our best a little weird and having lots of fun.

What is the funniest joke you’ve heard lately?

Moffat » Tim and Ransom are the funniest dudes on the planet. Every time we hang out, or practice, they make up these stupid songs about food. I would say their food parody songs are the funniest things I’ve heard lately.

Wydner » King Niko only knows a handful of jokes fit to print. René Descartes walks into a bar. Bartender asks, "Can I get you anything?" Descartes says, "I think not," and vanishes.
