Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill, Where pleasure itself cannot please; Away with cold breeding, that faithlessly still Affects to be quite at its ease; For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank, The freest is first of the band, Nature's own Nobleman, friendly and frank,Is a man with his heart in his hand!

You know, I do feel as though it’s more of a follow-up. I mean, we recorded this record live and in the fashion that I really wanted to do that first Bash & Pop record, although it didn’t quite turn out as live a record as we planned. The first one, anyway. So this one actually has more of a live rock ‘n’ roll band feel to it. And I really kinda wanted to make a record where I wasn’t wearing too many hats at once and I could actually, you know, capture some of the essence of a rock band playing live together in the studio.

My first band was an Argentinian folk group when I was 10. When I was 12 I had my electric guitar, and by the time I was 13, the Beatles came into the scene, and that was over. So I have a mixture of all these traditions, and I think that's who I am, a mixture of everything.

I definitely get my artistry and my vocal talent from my mother and mother's side. She sang in a jazz trio band so growing up my dad would always take me to see her play and she has a beautiful voice. When I was little and started to sing, she supported me and let that fire burn. She always knew what it took as a support system.

LCD live was set up to be an argument about what's wrong with bands and why bands should be better. I always thought that we were so obviously not a great band, comically not a great band. I was not a great front man.
