meadeskelton asked: Hi, I just love the music. Are Y'all from Virginia? BTW, what inspired the tune "Meade Skelton Birthday Party"? Is there a nice little story behind it? Thanks!

Hi Meade.  3/4 of us are from Virginia.  That song was inspired by your awesome birthday party that you didn’t invite us to :(

caseracer asked: let's tour after this summer. oh, i mean, "would you like to tour after this summer?"

Okay and yes!

oldrecordscheapwine asked: Come to Australia and high five kangaroos and wombats.

I can confidently say that this is all we want out of this band.

Anonymous asked: Who's the worst band from Richmond you've ever played with?

Definitely Pedals On Our Pirate Ships.
