Danielle Roberts: What is one thing that happened during a performance that you'll never forget?

Adam: The time Jesus fell on stage during Outside Lands in front of the whole crowd, but managed to not miss one note on bass and jumped back up!

Nigel: There was one time where I went up front to sing and someone from the crowd threw some lettuce on the stage. I stepped on it and almost fell and broke my ass. I think Shmeeans was the only one that really saw, and we both just fell out laughing. Schmeeans and I have a lot of moments. Grateful for that.

Jerry Fecteau: Do you ever during a show get blown away by what another member of the band is playing and just get lost in it for a bit?

Adam: Every night somebody knocks it out of the park!

Nigel: Yes, one thing we all have an understanding of tho, is that it’s very important to listen. So that regardless of what it is we’re playing and however far we get lost in the music, there’s always something to hear to snap us back. Listen.
