HOW WE CAME TO BE:
Kyle Richards - "Before I co-created the Willows I spent most of my days just chillin' out, maxing, and relaxing all cool. I had been in one band before but they just weren't digging my skills and to be honest, I think the lead singer, Thomas, had a bit of a thing for me. I told them I just didn't want to be a part of it all anymore and hopped on the next train to the O.C. Immediately after I got off at my stop a talent agent picked me up entirely based on my looks. I thought it was cool and even a little too convenient at first but I found out later that he didn't want me to perform in a band but in my underwear for Calvin Klein ads. I'm sure you've already figured I passed on that deal. Well you're wrong. It turned out to be a big success and it's what ultimately led me into the Weeping Willows..."
Eric Evans - "So pretty much I was at school, then this guy Hanz came up to me and was like 'Yo I'z totally be needin yo purrdy face for dis underwear ad' he had this thick German accent so I just bought into it like George Bush into Oil Companys... So like, we went to the studio and there was this well handsome lad called Kyle and he was practicin his vocal for the scene where he lays on top of me wearin nothin but a thong, and I was like 'yo you gots some mad wind pipes, I'd like to work those out' so like 2 weeks later he came over and me and him were just jammin it up when Chris gave me call..."
