You have played for quite a
while now. Do you even feel
nervous before a concert?
Charlie: I was born to do
this.
J-Dog: No, not nervous at
all. We‘ve already played

are glad to do it.
Charlie: But this summer
we don‘ t have many con-

tention to new projects.

Do the masks have any spe-

Charlie: Firstly it means we
are fucking retarded. Fore-
ver.
J-Dog: Yes, haha. We‘ve
tried it one time and from
then on it kind of stuck
with us. It doesn‘ t have
any deeper meaning, it just
