JENOAH INTERVIEW 11/15/2004:
1) So i just have to start off by asking how did you come up with the name jenoah?
JENOAH: Jenoah is a fictitious dream character of mine.  Within the dream, Stephen's grandfather Lyndell asked me if I could help him find "Jenoah".  Stephen and I agreed that it would be a good band name.  Especially running against "Send For the Versus" and
"To Cassiopeia".
2) Your Online EP got over 40,000 downloads did you expect that many kids to check you guys out being a new band?
JENOAH: I could honestly say that we as a band were expecting quite a few downloads, due to the fact that Drive-Thru almost seems like a sub-culture.  But no where near forty thousand. That's just fucking amazing to us, and we thank everyone who took the time to listen.
3) There has been some rumors circulating about the departure of your guitar player would you like to clear anything up about that?
JENOAH: Overall, Lucky leaving the band is a very personal and sensitive subject for some more than others within our group.  I am confident in stating that I think it was the most beneficial for everyone's emotional and musical well being. For the people or Jenoah appreciators that don't already know,  we will not be playing anything off of Morning is When Jenoah Wakes Up ever again.  Those songs represent a time and a place that this band was a part of, and we as a whole feel it would be wrong to persist in trying to promote or distribute music that can no longer be reproduced.  Lucky was an extremely large contributor to the writing of that ep, and to attempt to travel from city to city playing those songs without him would be immoral.
A rumor that I personally have heard is that Jenoah has been out of commission since Lucky's absence, and that we have faced a series of unfortunate happenings including all of our equipment being stolen,
To clarify, Jenoah has been very active this whole time. The writing has just been pouring out of us,  only half of our equipment was stolen, so we downgraded slightly.  The band has stayed strong as a three piece with accompaniment.
4) I've heard the new demos and the sound has really progessed, are you happy with the change? is this what you were trying to achieve?
JENOAH: Thank you for using " progressed ".  We are very happy with our current sound and the possibilities.  The overall vibe of the music is more mature and wise as opposed to angsty and erratic.  As the drummer I feel more rhythmic confidence, and steadiness in the flow and structure. What we are trying to achieve music that we love to play.
5) what do you think helped develope the change in your style? and why?
JENOAH: Many things developed the change.  The loss of a the physical member to the material instrument,  the acceptance and understanding of the new Jenoah, the growth and development as musician and human beings, and the drive to bust our asses to write and record
6) Are you guys going to be touring soon?
JENOAH: We are doing a small West Coast tour from December 2nd to the 16th California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona, and  a nation wide tour Jan 13th to February 22nd, East Coast, South East, South West, West, and North West on the Scout.Net Tour.This providence is on with us in december. jan is sponsored by thescout.net w/ endicott, paulson, kaddisfly, and a few others yet to be determined.
7) What are some of the main goals you guys are trying to achieve right now?
JENOAH: Our main goal is to keep writing and touring like fucking madmen.
8) When can we except a full length from you?
JENOAH: Uncertain, we are still discussing with the label
9) any last words you'd like to add?
JENOAH: Hi Mom! (just kidding) Come see us people! and don't be shy! and our new Website WILL be up before December.  So visit that. There will be a forum that you can express your opinions on so don't hesitate. and ALL NEW MERCH! as well.
