“We think of it as comedy,” reveals the tooting Faith Spread. “We thought that was pretty clear. But we did a show on campus last year and a college kid did a serious paper on us. It’s not like we don’t get it, you know? We’re classically trained. We know all those big words for what we do. But this is not some deconstructionist theory we’re working here.”
“If we could throw pies during the set, we’d do that,” pipes up Larry Light, whom some might remember as Harold Zeller Jr. of the late great—and more consciously pompous—Hazeus. “But it could be bad for the instruments.
“I turned into a swan for this band,” L/Harry allows. “But it’s the squawky, silly, flapping kind of swan.”
