Did you see them play with Broken Social Scene? Aren't they amazing? When we first saw these kids on stage, we couldn’t believe it. There they were, not even 20 years old, playing music with more ideas in one song than would fit onto a Flaming Lips record ... and looking so damn happy, hyperactive and confident they nearly seemed to make fun of us. „How can a bunch of guys so young be so good?“ After the concert they took us to a hotel in New Jersey where we had to buy them beer and after much TV, booze and wrestling matches ... they still didn’t tell us and left us with a grin and all we got was a record. We still listen to it and try to figure out what the secret is, it’s really exciting.
