<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cIt was kind of a hard thing.\u201d Seim explains of the bands incarnation. \u201cOriginally, our first band broke up and we had a couple of years where we were kind of doing our own thing. Then Zach and I wanted to start playing again, because we always had a lot of fun playing together. So we started playing, just hoping we could find some other people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Living in such a fertile and musically diverse area of California, you would think being able to find someone who could handle a boom stick would be somewhat easy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe kind of looked around and talked to some people and stuff,\u201d explains Seim, \u201cbut there was nobody in Sacramento or even San Francisco that we could think of or knew, or thought that would work, or even necessarily wanted to make that kind of music. It was a hard thing. I guess we never auditioned anybody? So we kept writing songs as the two of us, and got asked to play a show one time. And from then on we just kept booking shows and getting more and more songs. It just kind of became a two-man deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
