"Nick: That was a great show. It was only two bands at the 1619 house�usually they have three or four bands at a time. It's us and a band from Ohio called This is Exploding. Their stage banter is fucking incredible. (to Mike) TAKE NOTES. TAKE NOTES. [Mike is usually the one to speak on stage in between songs -BS] They gave us props�they were like "Credit to Hans the Double for putting 'the' in their band name and not having it start the name."
Mike: They were good dudes and really great musicians.
Nick: They even used one of our song names when talking about us. We went on after them and they were like "Is Hans the Double getting restless? Do they want to play?"
