Didn't I see you guys perform with a fourth person last year?

ETHAN: Yes!

CHRISTIAN: Yes. See, it's the economy, you know...

I didn't like that as much for some reason. [laughs]

ETHAN: You didn't?

CHRISTIAN: We get mixed reviews. He's actually the guy who plays guitar on our records.

He did well, but I'm just so used to just seeing the three of you onstage. By the way how many of those white shirts do you guys carry around with you on tour?

JKRIV: Yeah they're getting run down, aren't they?

You guys have a very distinctive image, do you think you're ever going to change it, maybe try a different style?

ETHAN: A different style? Hm, not really...

CHRISTIAN: Maybe. I mean, it depends. You know if we get sponsored by like Prada...

Or Nike...

JKRIV: I don't see us ever putting a Nike logo on the tie...

Tell me about your individual projects.

ETHAN: Actually Jeff (Craven) that's playing here tonight, I have something that's coming out on his label (Large Records.) It's "Don't Tell Me (That You're Sorry)" by Tweek, the singer from The Rurals. Jay-J remixed it. I also have this other project, dunnEASY, with a Kenny Bobien track.

CHRISTIAN: Right now I'm kinda just focusing on Tortured Soul. The past few months I've been trying to write some new stuff for the next album.

JKRIV: I have two other little projects. One is called "The Moves" and we've released some Deep House stuff but not for a while. Another is "bgb" where we've also released some techier House stuff but lately we've been working on stuff that's almost more acoustic-electronic and sometimes more pop-y kind of stuff.

What would you like to plug to our readers?

ETHAN: The new album!

JKRIV: And the new website!
