| If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to? |
A lot of last-minute set-list scrawling and debating.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be? |
Real food - day after day of being offered piles of potato chips and candy and other junk food feels like there's a conspiracy to slowly kill you!
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug. |
Dufus, been seeing their shows for years, just a sort of an underground/cult band but some of the best shows I've ever seen.
What's your most essential item to take on tour? |
My same old guitar obviously. And some extra tape to keep taping the guitar back together every time it splits apart.
What's your secret talent? |
Gently catching frogs and letting them go.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most? |
I don't personally use any of them, but my bandmates probably update my Myspace page more than the other ones.

| Down With Webster a 7-member, genre-bending, musical juggernaut draws on disparate influences to create a wholly original musical feast. Their chaotic live shows are the stuff of local legend, selling 1000+ tickets as headliners in their hometown of Toronto as an indie band before ever releasing a single or video.
The band writes, produces and performs all of their music, garnering attention from industry veterans as varied as Timbaland and KISS front man Gene Simmons, both of whom wanted to sign the band to their respective labels. DWW won the Rogers Mobile/Universal Music best unsigned artist in Canada contest in 2008. | |
