Josh English, if we're not mistaken. Why not read Splendid's review of Heartbreak's Got Backbeat, or visit the band's website? When that's all done, you can buy Six Going on Seven stuff at Insound.

What is your least favorite article of clothing, and why?

Josh English: Take a look at yourself. Are you really going out dressed like that?

What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

Josh English: Is this some kind of joke?

If you could remove 20cc's of fat from one part of your body and inject it into another, where would the fat come from/go to?

Josh English: I'm a pretty skinny guy, so I'm not sure where I'd get the 20cc's, but I'd put it right in the caboose and push J.Lo to the side... "Shake That Ass, Watch Yourself!"

What three essential accessories would be in your dream tour van/vehicle?

Josh English: After multiple trips around this great nation, my wishes are humble...1)a van with an alternator that starts, or at least breaks down in more exciting places than Bolton, Oregon. 2)Some of those tree air-fresheners (if you were in a van with us for five weeks, you'd want some too!) 3) A bathroom in the van for James (since we can't buy him a bigger bladder!).

Which is more frightening: a venue full of people who don't like your music, or a room full of two-year-olds? Why?

Josh English: Indie kids & two year olds are both bedwetters, I have, however, heard of the "terrible twos" so at the very least, they have an excuse! Besides, I know a few Raffi tunes like "On Top Of Spaghetti" so I'm quite confident I could keep the tots entertained for a bit before their afternoon nap...

Name three activities that would be more interesting/entertaining/enjoyable with the addition of monkeys.

Josh English: 1)Laundry Day 2)My Statistics course back in college 3)The Promise Ring.

What are the best venue you've ever played? What's the worst? Why?

Josh English: I love all venues & promoters equally... We've had nothing but great experiences... Book our Band.

What was the last thing you watched on television? How did you like it?

Josh English: I very rarely watch the tube. I usually just turn it on in bed and fall asleep. My mom, however, quite enjoys Providence though she lives on the West Coast and doesn't understand it's nothing like that. No Siree...no pretty Greek doctors roaming the boardwalk, just a bunch of R.I.S.D. kids wandering around looking like they lost their way to the Locust show.

Does everyone need to own a computer? Why or why not?

Josh English: I don't own one myself, I just use my roomate Heath's. It's better! That way when the Feds come, they'll take him away instead. Don't worry, buddy... I'll bring you cookies & dirty magazines!

What activities (or whatever) are currently illegal, but in your opionion shouldn't be? What activities *are* legal, but should be outlawed?

Josh English: Anything that we cannot reasonably control should be made legal...yes, I'm taking the easy way out. Illegal -- basement shows in the middle of nowhere... Just kidding! Book our band!

Who should be the leader of the free world?

Josh English: Methinks those monkeys from question #6 would do a fine job!

You have an eight-hour trip to your next gig. You're not driving, and you're not sleepy. You have the option of reading a book, listening to an album, watching a movie or playing a video game. Which do you choose? And what is the book/album/movie/game in question?

Josh English: I can't read in the car for more than a few minutes without getting sick; it started when I was a pup, and it's never gotten much better. Magazines are okay in the car (I'll save books for the Motel 6). Most likely I'd listen to some music (my current fascination with the drum fills in Toto's "Rosanna" would probably get me from SanDiego to Portland with my hand on the repeat button).

What was the best live rock show you ever saw?

Josh English: The Who at The Memorial Colliseum on the "It's Hard" tour. They were my first favorite band. I was ten years old and my uncle took me. Meaty Beaty, Big & Bouncy is a greatest hits record rivaled only by a few before or since...if you don't agree, I'll fight you!

Scientists have suggested that trainspotting (the hobby of obsessively traveling rail lines, watching trains, cataloguing engine numbers, etc.) is a form of autism. What other so-called "hobbies" might actually be deep-seated psychological disorders?

Josh English: Record Collecting... Online Zines... Playing Music in people's basements.

You're in an elevator with Mariah Carey, Marilyn Manson and George W. Bush. The elevator becomes trapped between floors. What happens next?

Josh English: I join Manson in dry humping the president, while Mariah feigns disgust.

You've been given the opportunity to play -- all expenses paid -- in a foreign country that bands don't normally get to visit. You get to pick the country. Where do you go?

Josh English: Bogota, Columbia. My little sister is from there, and I'd love to "bring the rock" to the country's wealth of infamous drug czars!

What food item do you always eat, even though you shouldn't? And why shouldn't you be eating it?

Josh English: Are you saying I'm fat?

Why are frogs amusing?

Josh English: Things that amuse me (in no particular order): 1. Monkeys. 2. Frogs. 3. The Promise Ring.

Your favorite broken-up band is going to reunite for one show only at the venue of your choice (yes, we know this is implausible. Who cares?). Who's the band, and what's the venue?

Josh English: Too many good bands have come & gone. I'll have to pass on this one.

Is the Internet destroying the English language?

Josh English: I speak only Esperanto and Spanglish, so you're barking up the wrong tree!

Several US states have adopted "three strikes and you're out" laws, which basically mean that after you're found guilty of three felonies, you're imprisoned for life. How do you feel about that? Is it effective lawmaking, or needlessly harsh?

Josh English: Probably needlessly harsh. I do belive people, for the most part, are capable of making their own desicions, and should be accountable for said choices. I think it's an issue of the crime, circumstances and the like. I dunno. I play rock music. You're making my brain melt!zzzzz@@@@@%%%%#$$$$$$$$%%%&

Six Going on Seven's latest album, American't (or Won't) -- their first for Big Wheel Recreation, if we're not mistaken -- comes out on May 15th. Expectations are high.
