Mosh: What's next for COC? What are your
touring plans?
Mike Dean: First thing we're doing is
Australia, followed by a little bit of North
America and then a little bit of Europe. At
that point, we'll take a look around and see if
we have an opportunity to start working
with Pepper or if we're going to have to wait
on that. We try to keep honing it, it's our job,
we got to be on tour. We'll see what kind of
wonderful offers are waiting for us.
