Q: What’s with the orange?
A: It is an authentic 1986 orange which was impaled with a wood screw and then left to dry up and shrivel. A happy face was drawn on one side and a sad face was drawn on the other.  There is no significant link between the orange and our music.

Q: What kind of music is this?
A: It depends on the particular song, they tend to differ from one another. Tempermental artists like ourselves like to think that our work transcends labels. But if you tied us to a chair and forced us to describe what we do we would be forced to use phrases such as:  Jazzoid-flavored eclectic instrumental aural amusement incorporating a common thread of erratic whimsy and harmonic vinegar -  or some such long winded nonsense.

Q: If you are really just one person posing as a “band”, why do you insist on referring to yourself in the plural?
A; We are disturbed.

Q: Why doesn’t your music involve any singing?
A; I- I mean we- have sung before, but we have an inadequate whiny voice and you don’t want to hear it. Besides, writing lyrics is a tedious pain in the ass

Q: Do the questions on this FAQ page really reflect things that people have actually asked of you?
A: No
