How did you get the idea to make your own cables?

It was really just the fact that Dan made me a cable and I had a lot of yarn and wanted the cable to look nicer. I was inspired!

What sounds are you working on for your new pedals?

Stereo Tremolo, Phaser are almost done. There are a lot more that are just ideas but nothing is set in stone yet.

How do you stay motivated to practice/write songs/create?
The best way to keep writing is have band mates who adhere to a set practice time!  haha. If people show up to play music it's hard for us to say no. :)

You've been in your spaces for about 5 years. How has it changed over time?

We thought a lot about which room would hold all of our instruments and it's pretty much been the same since we moved in. We have rearranged a few times to make things more efficient for our bandmates coming in. We've also acquired more gear which required us to make space for it. We like to keep the amps and guitars that we use at practice in the main room while additional gear or bandmates gear stays in the hallway and only comes out when we need it.

 Feet or hands? (question asked by Jack)

Totally hands. Because they can make stuff. Feet are bad at that.
 

What should I ask the next person or band to participate in By Measure?
Do you like ice cream? What kind is your favorite? How about cereal?
