I just had this notion that I wanted to do the most extreme thing I could and I also very consciously wanted to do something that was very different from Mars because we were all very close. ↗

It was a scene in the sense that we were all close and we all knew each other before the different bands had really formed. We used to rehearse in the same place. ↗

My parents were missionaries - I was born in the States but I grew up in Brazil. ↗

Playing with Kip I definitely learned a lot playing with these incredible guys and hearing them. ↗

The Lounge Lizards were relating with a tradition and it was like I was playing within a musical context. The guitar playing stood out as being different in some way. That was a real education for me. ↗

The period right before punk rock where people like Lou Reed and Iggy Pop were really strong. ↗

Then the early punk rock period with Television and the Ramones. That's what I loved- that's what I was listening to immediately prior to when I started to play. ↗
