1. How did you come up with the name "650 North"?

ACTUALLY, IT IS A COUNTY ROAD THAT WE ALL LIVE NEAR. WE ALL LIVE IN ABOUT A 5 MILE RADIUS, WHICH HAS BEEN CONVENIENT FOR US.

2. How long have you been together as a band and how did you meet?

WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 3 YEARS. LIVING SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, WE ALL ATTENDED THE SAME SCHOOL SYSTEM. WE HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE JUNIOR HIGH.

3. Who were your musical interests growing up?

MY COOL OLDER SISTER GOT ME INTO THE GRUNGE SCENE---SOUNDGARDEN, NIRVANA. THOSE ARE THE BANDS THAT MADE ME WANT TO LEARN GUITAR. ALSO, GREEN DAY AND THE OFFSPRING TO A LESSER EXTENT.

4. Who does your writing? One person, or do you collaborate?

I WRITE ALL OF THE LYRICS, AND ALOT OF THE MUSIC TOO. HOWEVER, ANDREW AND I OFTEN CO-WRITE SONGS---I WRITE LYRICS FOR AND HELP ARRANGE HIS SONG IDEAS.

5. What is coming up for you guys? Plug away!

WE RECENTLY SIGNED WITH BROOKLYN BEAT RECORDS / WARNER MUSIC GROUP, AND SHOULD HAVE AN EP COMING OUT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WHICH WE PLAN TO TOUR ON.

6. What would you like to see change in the music industry?

RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS AFRAID TO TRUST THEIR INSTINCTS AND TAKE CHANCES ON NEW BANDS. THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH NUMBERS AND QUICK MONEY. THE INDUSTRY NEEDS MORE VISIONARIES.

7. What is the music scene like in Osgood, Indiana?

WELL, FOR THE MOST PART, WE ARE THE MUSIC SCENE IN OSGOOD. AS IT IS A VERY SMALL TOWN (A FEW THOUSAND), THERE JUST AREN'T THAT MANY BANDS. THERE ALSO AREN'T MANY VENUES TO PLAY. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW YOUNG BANDS STARTING TO SPRING UP.

8. Make your own Concert Bill. Who would be on it, and why?

THE FOO FIGHTERS - THEY WRITE GREAT, SIMPLE SONGS, AND ARE GREAT LIVE PREFORMERS.

JIMMY EAT WORLD - I THINK THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST UNDER-RATED BANDS. THEY ARE ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS.

SILVERCHAIR - ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS. UNDER-RATED IN THE STATES, BUT HUGE IN AUSTRALIA.

BRAND NEW - ANOTHER GREAT BAND---POWERFUL, EMOTIONALLY-CHARGED SONGS WITH DEEP AND WITTY LYRICS.

9. Where do you see yourselves as a band in 5 years?

HOPEFULLY, WE WILL BE A NATIONAL HEAD-LINING ACT IN 5 YEARS.

10. How do you promote your band and shows?

MYSPACE, MYSPACE, MYSPACE! IT HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR US IN SO MANY WAYS. WE HAVE PUT ALOT OF TIME INTO IT, AND IT HAS PAID OFF. WE ALSO HAVE AN EMAIL LIST.

11. You have an amazing fanbase here on Myspace. Anything you would like to say to them now?

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND (CUE "THE GOLDEN GIRLS" THEME MUSIC)! STAY TUNED TO OUR PROFILE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT OUR UPCOMING BROOKLYN BEAT RECORDS / WARNER MUSIC GROUP RELEASE.

12. What has been the most memorable moment for you as a band?

DEFINITELY GOING TO WARSAW, POLAND TO OPEN THE GUNS N' ROSES SHOW. WE HAD A GREAT TIME, AND THE POLISH FANS WERE GREAT! IT WAS COOL MEETING IZZY AND SEBASTIAN BACH AS WELL.

13. What do you feel that myspace has done for unsigned bands?

IT HAS BROKEN GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES. A BAND NO LONGER HAS TO SHOWCASE IN L.A. TO GET SIGNED. IF THEY HAVE GOOD MUSIC ON THEIR PROFILE AND LOTS OF FRIENDS, RECORD LABELS WILL CHECK THEM OUT. IT ALSO HELPS BANDS SELL ALBUMS---EVEN INTERNATIONALLY. WE HAVE SHIPPED WUITE A FEW ALBUMS TO THE U.K.

14. If you could be an action figure, what would you be and why?

I WOULD WANT TO BE A TODD MCFARLANE VERSION OF MYSELF---HE CAN MAKE ANYONE LOOK COOLER AS AN ACTION FIGURE.

15. If you could go into the studio and record or write a song with anyone, who would that be?

PROBABLY JESSE LACEY OF BRAND NEW, OR BEN GIBBARD OF DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE.

16. As always, the last question........What does music mean to you?

I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT MEANS, BUT I KNOW IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME!
