Either/Or - 

Clubs or arenas? 
Joey: Clubs are a great thing, and arenas are a great thing. They are kind of their own entities. You can't really pick one or the other. Club gigs are more personal, and an arena gig is more
Pedro: Lots of people and lots of energy. But yeah, club shows, still, small and intense 
Joey: I like them both.

Outside or inside? 
Pedro: Inside
Joey: Inside, air condition.

Chord or wireless mics? 
Joey: Chordless. Because its like wired mics I move around so much they have a tendency to wrap around my leg and tripping. The chord pops out of the mic, so its just like forget it.

On The Bus - 

Music: 
Joey: Everything.
Pedro: Everything. From Johnny Cash to The Roots to 36 Crazyfists to Revolution Smile to dredg to Incubus, just a load of everything. Pretty much name it. We found it, we got it.

Movies: 
Joey: We have some Paid, like Van Wilder is a great one that we watch. We started watching the whole first and second season of The Family Guy.

Activities: 
Pedro: Jerk off. I'm kidding! Wait a minute.. am I?! 
Joey: *Laughter*
Pedro: Actually we just sit around and talk, bullshit, talk about the previous show, people we meet. Talk about plans for the future and what we are going to do. We're just trying to make sure we keep in touch with everything that's going on us. Any upcoming shows, movie soundtracks, anything like that.

Favorite City?
Pedro: It's hard to say that...
Joey: One place that comes to mind when people ask that question is Lincoln, Nebraska.  
Pedro: Oh god yeah...
Joey: 8,000 people just went ape shit.

Favorite Venue?  
Pedro: The Norva Theatre In Norfolk, Virginia. 
Joey: Yeah, that's a nice place. 

Pre-show preparation/rituals?  
Joey: Stretch, warm-up. 
Pedro: Yeah, warm-up. I run.

Get nervous anymore?  
Joey: At the beginning of a tour you kind of do because you don't know the other bands your playing with to well, so after the first day its like it's on. You might get a little, and nothing more. I'm more nervous about flying then playing in front of people.  
Pedro: *laughter*

What is going on in your mind while onstage?
Joey: Sometimes were zoning out. Sometimes I'll be onstage singing and I'll be like "Oh dude I gotta go do this tomorrow", "is there anything else" and what I need to do tomorrow". What I start doing is I think about what I want to say when the song is over.  

Ever left anything or anyone behind?  
Pedro: We've probably left small stuff. Lots of shirts, a couple cell phones maybe.
Joey: Couple of cell phones... 
Pedro: *laughter*

Write out on the road?  
Joey: No. It's kinda hard.
Pedro: Yeah, a little rough.

What thought goes into narrowing down what songs to play in the set list? 
Joey: Energy
Pedro: Energy, the flow of one song into another, what's hitting... 
Joey: We follow by crowd reaction, we see what songs hits with the crowd, then we kinda put them together to make it work.

What do you miss most about home?  
Pedro: Friends, family, TV, relaxing. 
Joey: Yeah.

Do you explore the cities you are in to any extent?
Joey: Definitely, love hanging out and seeing what each city has to offer.
Pedro: Definitely.

General topics - 

Groupies 
Pedro: They are always around. 
Joey: Where there is a rock show, there is a groupie. One does not exist without the other. 
Pedro: There is good with evil *laughter*

Catering 
Joey: Depends on the tour. The Disturbed tour was really really well, Ozzfest should be well.
