Josh: No, no. I will still do it. If you had some right now, I would do it.
But I would never seek it out and buy it. I would never buy it, but I would
smoke it or snort it. Especially on tour because we got nothin’ better to
do except get fucked up.
You guys have a look. How important is that to you? Do you tell them
what to wear?
Josh: No. That would defeat the purpose of it.
Dave the Wave: Other than the fact that I’m wearing these shoes right
now.
Josh: Oh, I did tell him to wear those shoes. But we just have the same
-- like I said, the three of us all grew up together pretty much, and so
we, our style just comes from…
Why’d y’all move out of Atlanta?
Josh: Well, I moved there first, away from there, because, uh...well, I
don’t know. I had a bunch of different reasons, I guess. I was on tour
with Beat Beat Beat, my old band, and the tour ended in New York. And
then we were gonna get a ride back from these chicks that we knew,
and they called us the night before we were supposed to leave like
“Hey, so you know you gotta be in Jersey City at 9 a.m.,” and I’m like,
“Yeah, I know, thank you, thank you. I know, we’ll be there,” you know.
And an hour later, “Hey, so you guys know that you’ve gotta be there
early in the morning, right?” and we’re like, “Yeah. I know.” And then I
think it was like one more phone call and I was like, “You know what?
Fuck this. I’m staying here.”
How long have you been there now?
Josh: Uh, I moved there on Halloween of December...no, not December.
Ha ha, Halloween of December. Halloween of 2007. So, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13...yeah, maybe. It was either 7 or 6, I think. Seven. The anwer is
seven.
Halloween is the 7th of December.
Josh: No, that’s when Pearl Harbor happened. It was, wasn’t it?
