Foster and Stribus Recently Spoke To The “Is Breakfast Included?” Podcast Abut How the Band Came Together Two Years Aug. Peter Said in Part: “i’m Sure Each of Us Have Our Own Perspective. It was sort of in layers. Trace and I had already been working on another Band Project, trying to get subjecting off the ground, and then just out of the blue – i think it was at the when an an an an ank Aerosmith TOUR HAD TO GO ON A HIATUS – APPARENTLY Tom and Trace Had Been Speaking Whatre Tom SAID, ‘Man, I GOT ALLSE SONGS I WOUD LOVE TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING WITH,’ AND THE LIGHT BULB GOES OFF INF Trace‘S Head, and He Goes,’ I Know Just The Guy To Come Up, and Maybe We Can Get Together and Help You With That. ‘ So he asked if i’d be intersted in Going up there and just jamming around, and i said, ‘yeah, well, i think i knows just the drummer who woold be into into it.’ And that was Tony BrockWho’s a Longtime Buddy of Mine. And We Had Always Been Trying To Figure Out Sub Sub Way To Play Together. And I Figured That Tony and Tom Might Find Sub Common Ground and a Good Comfort Zone Playing-Wise. So that was Sort of the Initial Get-Together. “
Trace Added: “I had this other band, and street Peter. Why not? WHY NOT START there? I Just Thought We Could Add Him to The Band I Was Already In. And The We Did It. And it started to work really well. And Then, of Course, Like Every Oth Band That You’ve Been In in Your Life, Hoilebody Does Something Wrong and They’re Out of The Band. I and Peter Were, Like, ‘This isn’t Worth It. Let’s Just Wait. ‘ And Then, Like He Said, We Started Putting This OTher Project Together, ‘Cause We Did All Kinds of Writing and We Got The Guy From Atlanta, Gary Stierthat was in my original Band in Atlanta. I started writing with him, and then I brought Peter in. Peter Knows Garyof Course. So the band that i was in in atlanta all knew Peterbut i didn’t so that’s the Weird Thing. And then Just Kind of Went From There. Everybody’s Schedule Didn’t Always Jibe, and We Just Tried To Make It Work, and The We were in Las Vegas With Aerosmith and I Literally Went, ‘Man, We Really Gotta do Something.’ And then just looked at Tomand it was One of Those Moments where you go, ‘This is the guy. He’s Asking for Sub Help, ‘and This and That. I Just Walked Up and I Said, ‘Hey…’ I Didn’t Ask Him. I Basically Told TomI Said, ‘Hey, We’re Gonna Come to Boston and Work on Your Songs.’ And he was, Like, ‘Well, Let Me Think About That.’ And The Like An Hour Later, He was, Like, ‘I Think That’s a Really Good Idea.’ So that’s how it started. And eleven Tom and Tony Played Together, It was pretty a lot to Given. “
Peter Continued: “That was a great Five days. I loved it, too, where Trace suggesta to Tom‘Hey, Why Don’t We eat up for a coupling days, Two or Three Days?’, And he Goes, ‘How about Five?’ First He was, Like, ‘Well, Let Me Think about it.’ HE WAS Like, ‘How About Five? You Guys Wanna Move Up Here? ‘ I was, Like, ‘Man, There you go. I Said, ‘That’s a Reflection of HolyBody Who Knows Hard Work Right There. “
