About Me

"The mints should be the band that brings back music to its essential form. Which is playing live and giving them, the audience, a musical performance that opens up our souls to the audience. Never play half-assed or unispired, and hey if you feel like shit, take that negative energy and turn it into something positive because in order for music to connect with people it needs to show true passion. A passion that is not false musical posturings, but something that expresses something that all people can relate to. Hey if you're playing something that feels honest, and makes you feel good, then there has to be other people out there who would probably feel the same. That's what we should go for. To develop an audience of people that have a soul and actually appreciate humanity and are not just superficial hacks that only know what everyone else tells them. Those kinds of people will stick with you and not just like you just because you're the flavor of the month, but hey you know what I've kinda turned this into a little rant, but I think I've expressed something that can lead us in some direction. A sort of philosophy behind why we are making music and what drives our ideas, because I think that philosophy is important to define in order to actually discover our identity as a band of musicians." -Dave
