The people that are coming, are the people that are pro-active about it. That's why it's been such a good program. The two nights before Woodstock, we played two unanounced shows in New York and Boston under a fake name that our old fans knew. And just sending out a free CD to a rep. It's little things like that that keep people in the loop.
People love it.
And we love it too. It's thanking the people that have been with you a long time and making them aware that you are aware of where you came from, amidst all of this highfalutin chaos. We all discovered Pet Sounds for the first time two years ago and we were influenced by that. But a lot of the melodic stuff comes from me listening to the Smiths and listening to the Stone Roses and the Cure and New Order and bands like that growing up. The new Rufus Wainwright is great.
