What was your first NYC show?
Last year here at Mercury Lounge. At that point we couldn't even sell out our hometown of Brighton and we did two nights here. It was a really big thing for us. We must have looked pretty stupid, like, "Wow, we're in America. The buildings are so big."

What's up with the Franklin and Marshall shirts you always seem to be wearing?
They are an Italian clothing company. Because of the initials, F and M, they give us a lot of free clothes. They are so tight we don't want to buy new ones.
