Band: Fireworks
Instrument: All the cool ones

1.) How's life on this tour been so far?
So far my tour for today has consisted of waking up and driving to kyle's house, so we'll just speak for touring in general.  Touring gives us a chance to hang out a lot, play awesome places, meet cool new people and get wild, so tour is awesome.

2.) Do you prefer tours like this or huge festivals with multiple
bands playing at once? 
Well, with as many people as we met on Ozzfest last year, it's hard to say we prefer the van to a bus, but nothing lasts forever.  Playing a fest like Bamboozle was a lot of fun because we got to see a lot of friends/make a lot of new ones and see a lot of awesome bands, but having a new experience and playing with different bands every night always seems to have it's perks.  So I think we're all content with doing what we're doing and every once in awhile playing a larger show, or festival, although we've only played one.

3.) When you guys are on the road, what do you usually do? 
Well this past tour we saved a puppy, climbed a plateau, went swimming in the ocean, and took a ferry.  To be completely honest though, most of our time on the road is spent making up false scenarios and repeating the same jokes no one else gets, so on the road, we don't really seem like a band, more of a group of young men trying to find themselves, and the answers.

4.) What would you say is the biggest sacrifice you had to make be in Fireworks?
We have to lose jobs, not go to school and fight with our friends/girlfriends a lot more. Thats about it, but everyday is a sacrifice when you give your life to a dark power.

5.) Which bands are your biggest Influences?
We hate to be typical, but there is an endless list of bands/artists who influence us.  Some of the big ones are stuff we've grown up with and loved forever, like rancid, saves the day etc.

6.) Where did you get your inspiration from for your music (other
bands, family, etc.)?
This life of utter shit. you know what we mean.

7.) As a musician, what do you consider to be "making it big"?
Any band that is having fun making the music they want to make, and doing what they're doing, whether it's touring non-stop or recording a couple demos in their friends basement, as long as your happy playing the music you want to play, you win.

8.) What tour would you say was your favorite?
  Well we're still a young band and haven't spent too much time on the road, but I'd say every tour has had it's moments and every band we've toured with have been amazing people. 

9.) Where was your favorite place to perform (city, venue)?
Thats another hard one, our top 3 would probably be Chicago, Bremerton and Fresno.

10.) What is your favorite song to play live?
Overall, we'd have to say From Mountain Movers To Lazy Losers is our favorite song to play live.

11.) Name the five greatest bands of all time.
  This is hard. We could think about this for years and still not come up with an answer.  Collectively, we could really only come up with "THE" greatest band of all time, and that would have to be The Beach Boys.

12.) What's the best part about going on tour?
Getting away from every thing and just having some real guy time.  We've all been friends from before we even started the band, so going on tour is really just an extension of what we do when we're at home but with new people and places. and tons of hot guys.

13.) What did you do before the band started? 
Played hockey.

14.) Where's the one place you want to perform that you haven't?
I'd say the white house, more specifically, the inauguration.

15.) If you could describe it in one word, what does it feel like to perform?
raw.

16.) Do you have any advice for aspiring musicians?
stop.  SIKE! Well since we are aspiring musicians, have fun and do whatever you want is what we say.  don't take shit from the government.

17.) Any last words or shout outs?
 This was a lot of fun, and hopefully not too goofy to make sense, especially towards the end.  Shot outs to these awesome bands and even better people...
