Q: What are some of your favorite places to perform?
Dave: The House of Blues in Cambridge is one of my favorites.
Stephen: I like Faneuil Hall--that's a fun place to do a show.
Q: What gave you guys the idea for a mouth band?
Scott: Jon saw a guy do a beat box with his mouth, and he was impressed by that. Then he got Mike to do the bass, and I sometimes do guitar, although usually I sing baritone. Dave, Jason and Stephen are also on vocals.
Q: So Jon founded the band?
Jon: That's right.
Q: I found it surprising how much your music sounds like a regular band with instruments. Do you hear that a lot?
Jason: Yeah. Everyone asks us where our DAT (digital audio tape) machine is, and when we say we don't have one, they don't believe us. Everything we do is live.
Q: What kind of music background do you guys have?
Stephen: We've all sung in a capella groups, mostly pop music rather than classical. And we've studied music in college.
Q: What about high school? Were you in your high school choirs?
Scott: I was. I played football in high school too, and the other guys on the team used to make fun of me.
Q: So how did you deal with it?
Scott: I just laughed it off.
