My Hawaii - Eventu -A - Lee

Interesting Fact:

The concept on this song was "What if Chuck Berry went to jail in New Orleans and started a prog rock band?"  The band never knew the song until the day we record it.  And we recorded it live.  So it's really spontaneous and we like that. --Yohei

Meeting of Important People - Brittany lane

Meeting of Important People s/t album cover 2009

Interesting Fact:
"Brittney Lane is a real girl from our hometown, and a true friend.
People now walk around thinking that there was bad blood between us,
or that she did something mean to me or the band, that there was some
horrible romance or something -- after all, the chorus is about how
she DOESN'T CARE.  sounds like a revenge song.   the truth is, her
name just fit.  the chorus is maybe a bit of a joke on the
"downtrodden guy/ girl doesn't love me" song, and Brittney's name just
fit better than any other name we could come up with.   i feel bad
that i've soured her reputation; people come up to her singing in her
face about how she 'doesn't care' now all the time, when in truth
she's one of the most caring folks i know.  Sorry, Brit."
