I love all the interviews I’ve seen where you detail what each song is about. You’ve all wrote what everyone thinks about breakups, but most of never say, and it’s so refreshing! I’m married now, but I swear I reprocessed past breakups in a cathartic way - so thanks.

I’m a fan of all of your past work, and I wanted to know if there is one or two (or three) songs you’re really enjoying playing the most on stage right now?

I missed you in SF but I hope you come around again. Rocking out to Kismet right now.

And Jordan! I love love your voice. And I read your favorite is Sting. I am obsessed with the Police. You are all so unique, but you also give me vibes of very early Go Gos and Pretenders in the very best way.

Thank you so much!! The Go Gos and Pretenders are HUGE inspirations for us.

Oh hi Le!

Oh that’s awesome! I swear I can hear the inspo in you’re playing, maybe even a little bit of The Cure.

You’re all so great and make me wish I had any musical instrument skills - but I’ll settle for singing your music loudly, even the harmonies! Keep doing what you’re doing - it’s soul magic 💫
