The Future
FTV: What is in the
plans as far as a CD and tour?
CJ:
Our CD
is due out on December 22nd, but it may not be in stores that day.
That's just the release day in New York. It should
be in
stores then, but if not then some time in January. It will be
on
Itunes definitely.

Itunes, it's the new way of doing things. We're having a big
cd release party in the city.

It's going to be a blast. Tickets are on ticketmaster.

Very First
Performance...
FTV: What was your
first performance as a band? What was the experience like?
CJ:
That was the "King of America" video shoot.
Afterwards we
played a "live" show. We had played it plenty of times before in
rehearsal studios, but never live. It took 32 takes, and I sang it
every time because it looks more real that way. At the end of
it  was
tough to sing a full set! We got to jump off the stage and crowd
surf which was pretty fun. Nick didn't get caught.
Nick:
They dropped me. They had me for two seconds and
then just let me go.

Push Play
.... Press Play....where did this name come from?
FTV:
Where did the name Push Play come from?
Nick: We
were actually trying to find a name
for
our band because we were two months without a name.
We were driving to Borders to find some
really cool English
magazines for their cool words. Then
the CD we were listening to in Derek’s car wasn’t
playing so CJ was just like
“press play.”
That was the name for a
little while. A few
months later we
found out Pdiddy was coming out with a cd called “press
play.” So
we changed it to "Push Play."

Myspace
FTV: We see that you
comment people on myspace. How long do you spend on myspace
on an average day?
CJ:
Me? About 2 hours per day.
Nick: Lately I've
been on
there from 8:30 - 10:30 pm. I've been teaching my dad how to
accept friend requests.
Steve: I don't have
a
time limit, I just keep doing it until I'm mentally fried.
Derek: I'll do it
between
classes and when I get home if I have time.
