How'd the band start? - Luke, Cailee

What's the story behind Saturday Night Seduction? - Luke

  • Ryan - The original bit was written in my basement, at three in the morning, back when I was still living with my parents. It's all about this girl I had a mad crush on. She later became my girlfriend for a time. She left me for a frenchman.

How many of the songs are about Ryan's "conquests"? - Kelly

  • Ryan - A few of the songs I have written are about the women in my life, but none are about my so called "conquests". Well.....actually Saturday Night Seduection is about a crush I had on a girl who later became my girlfriend. That's sort of a conquest, I guess.

What color of socks does Adam wear? - Erin

  • Adam - I wear multi-colored socks with seperate toes.

Okay in Saturday Night Seduction what the hell is Luttrell saying? My friends says it's sugar plum fairy, and I'm just not hearing that so could you please tell me what your saying? - Erika

  • Luttrell - The answer to your highly complex question is that when I was having an in depth conversation with my pet newt he told me that the fairies were dancing around to our music when we were last rehearsing. So, I decided that I could tribute the beginning of our song to those dancin' fairies by singing "Suger Plum Fairy, Suger Plum Fairy". Either that or John Lennon used to use it to count off Beatles tunes.

What does the band name mean?? - Todd

  • James - It used to be a kind of play on words or a stab at a meaningful name, but as time went on, it just started to mean 4 friends making music together.

You guys are better looking than the Backstreet Boys. By the way, what are your parent's credit card numbers? - Luke

  • James - Thanks for writing. If you'd like to know our parents credit card numbers we'll tell you what to do!! Incredible as it may seem, our parents keep all their credit cards in your parents wallets. In fact, they even have your parents names on them. Pretty goofy, huh?? Well, all you have to do is get those numbers and charge away. One other thing, our parents have forgotten their credit card numbers so if you could please e-mail them back to us, we'd sure appreciate it!!! Thanks again for writing, and about the Backstreet Boys thing, we know.

Alright guys so I visited the web sight and I must say that it is nice. I am proud to actually know who you guys are and all. BUT my question for you is when are you going to come to Marquette and play? You always talk about playing in Lansing area, but what about us up here in the docks that want to hear the glorious sound of your music. Make your way past the bridge for me to play. You know you want to. - Denise

  • James - Denise, we'd be happy to play in Marquette!! If you can find us a place to play, we'll brighten your day with our delicious tunes. Sound fair???

Are you coming out with any action figures? - Kari

  • Adam - YEAH, these action figures are gonna be great, mine has flaming drumsticks and my voice programed into it so I can say 40 diffrent sexual and vulgar things to everyone, especially to the people I don't like. Mine will also be anatomicly correct so it can be a true "Action figure". These are for all ages, cost has not yet been determined, will you buy the first one?
  • Luttrell - Action figures???!!!! Of course we have action figures! Just send two thousand dollars to our mailing address and you will recieve an action figure within your lifetime. Thank you.

Hypothetically, if someone wanted to get into your bass players pants, how would they go about doing that? I'm not saying I want into Jake's pants or anything, I'm just saying "what if." - Megan

  • Luttrell - To get into a bass players pants is actually a harder task that it first may seem. Bass players are a breed apart. They are intelligent and free spirited. They don't have a guitarist ego because that isn't their job. Their job is to bridge the gap between the drums and the guitars without stepping on anyones feet. Drummers are theasiest they drop their pants at the sight of a poodle, guitarist are easy too because they think they can ge tit from anyone. Bass players have self-respect and in order to get into their pants you have to not ony respect them but also yourself. Thank you for your question.

Ok guys, you already know me as the biggest ass you've ever met but I've got a observation/question that will make me seem like an even bigger one... Your DOE logo premiered on the T-shirts my Jr year of highschool (wow, almost 2 years ago!) and ever since then something about it has seemed not quite right. You see, due to its placement, the hand would appear to be just beginning to write the phrase "Drawing On Eve." This however is not the case, as we can clearly see the entire phrase on the shirt. Now, it occured to me that the writer could be of some middle eastern heritage. We all know they write backwards over there (they do a lot of other things backwards there, but we won't get into that!). Then again, he's writing in English so that doesn't make sense at all... Could you please explain the logo to me? - Kevin

  • Adam - NO!
  • Luttrell - In response to your inquiry about our logo appearing to have been written backwards I have a simple solution.... We as artistic musicians have found that in the high quality process of making shirts it takes two layers of writing to make a solid picture on a shirt. The hand does start at the begining of the letters but that is only because we had already written it once and were now starting the second of ink. Either that or we just happen to have some connections to a northern siberian cult that has absolutley nothing to do with polar bears. thank you for your very helpful question.

Oh, and could I also have a cheeseburger? - Kevin

  • Adam - Yeah, thats what I'm talking about, I have these microwaveable cheeseburgers at my house and they're the best, I could share one for a very small fee, actually its not small but I'll explain later.
  • Luttrell - You can have a cheeseburger when you make action figures for us.

Are you guys going to come out with an acoustic album? - Kathie

  • Ryan - Sure thing Jelly bean.
  • Luttrell - Once we can all afford decent acoustic instruments.
  • James - Concentrate, and ask again later.

What flavor of ice cream best describes the inner you? And do you feel a peace within yourself when you consume that particular ice cream? Do you notice the absence of something when you eat other ice creams of a completely different flavor? (If any of you say "superman", you're even bigger losers than I thought.) - Megan

  • Ryan - Ice cream! No doubt, it has to be Ben and Jerry's "From Russia with Buzz", but man watch out! This fab flavor is righteous and intense in ways unknown to the mortal man, so at the very least you can't say I didn't warn you. Enjoy! On the whole internal feelings during consumption thing, I am the most exuberant and Zen being on the planet at the very moment my tiny taste buds get a morsel of that cosmic concoction. Can you say better than sex.........well almost. You know what I'm talking about girls!
  • James - Mint Chocolate Chip. Yes. Yes.

Uuuhhh....On the booklet...the picture on the front page..who is that jumping off theb cool little cliff thing? - Erika and Rachel

  • Luttrell - It's James Earl Jones in his pre-Star Wars days.
  • James - Me and Uncle Richard are standing out of the photograph, but that is James Earl Jones taking flight.
  • Shazbot! - Actually it's a good friend of Ryan's named Fritz. Please ignore the two ruffians above.

Do you guys like kool-aid, if so, you have a favorite flavor?

  • Ryan - Groovy Grape.
  • James - I love the lime green stuff myself.

The Esch family would like to know when you are going to remake the Bramhs Lullaby?

  • Ryan - Sure... if I knew what you meant.
  • Luttrell - The Brahms Lullaby will be recreated in full in 1870. Unless you have a time machine you are out of luck.
  • James - I'm dilegently working on it right now, it'll just be a little while longer :)
