What are you currently working on? I've been trying to do some self portraits in watercolour! but i've been really distracted with music again  Do you guys practice a lot and have a lot of shows? It can be hard to find a balance when you have a lot of talents. we practice 3-4 times a week so it's really a lot! have you ever translated songs for anyone? No, I haven't, but that would be a lot of fun. I find that, with music, people are more willing to just learn it in the language it is written in. do you think? yeah to be honest i can think of a lot of artists who have mixed foreign languages into their work. I think Grimes did something in mandarin. are you translating anything at the moment? Right now I'm between gigs. I had an interview at a school to basically be on call for whenever they need me, for parent meetings, etc. I hope I get that job, I really believe it is important that everyone feels heard and understood when it comes to their children. no i completely agree! it must be rough having a child in school when you have a language barrier with the parents  I've heard about some major issues and misunderstandings that could have been easily avoided. I'm glad that this school I interviewed with is taking steps to address the issue, hopefully others will follow suit. Does your band ever use foreign language in songs? we have done a few countdowns in spanish! our lead guitar has mexican heritage so he likes to mix it in sometimes! i agree i do hope it becomes mandatory to have translators in schools soon  I would love to come to one of your shows. Do you have any coming up? We are playing in a couple of weeks! we are trying to finish up some new stuff first
