Sounds like you guys have one of the best fed tour buses out there. Other than food are there any influences you have that would surprise your fans?
Ben: Fleetwood Mac!!
Wow. Immediate Response!
Ben: Love them! The first pop song I ever remember hearing was when I was two years old they had Rumours on tape and I was totally captivated by "Dreams". I didn't even really know what music was but there was something in that song that absolutely enchanted me. I just wanted to hear it over and over and over. Stevie Nicks' voice kinds of floats in over that really mean but understated bass and drum groove.
Anthony: Fleetwood's a huge drum and bass inspiration.
Ben: Very simple straightforward rhythm and blues, its not flashy its not busy, it is just tight and direct and supports the entire song.
