YOUR QUESTION

Hi there Trevor! Hope these questions aren't too much of a bother:
1. Back in the day, there was talks of (I believe from Mike) of doing an all-electronic Fantomas record. Did anything ever surface from said idea, be it a demo track or two, or was it merely just an idea y'all wanted to explore but didn't?
2. Did you ever have any interactions with Chuck Mosley?
3. Have you ever had a moment where you were hanging out with Mike & Trey these past few years, and just thought "Fuck, we were some kids in a high school band and now we're highly-regarded"? I imagine the feeling of coming out to an entire audience only to play y'all's first demo was fucking insane.
4. I don't know if you've ever mentioned being a gamer, but if you have, have there been any game soundtracks that wowed you? They certainly have come a long, long ways since the Nintendo days, and I feel like I could hear you doing an excellent soundtrack for a more artsy/indie game
Hope all's well with you, and if you haven't gathered for all the y'all's.. Greetings from Texas, my dude
MY ANSWER
1. Nothing ever became of that. It was Mike’s idea. No idea why it wasn’t realized.
2. Nope
3. I never think to myself “I am highly regarded” and I’m not trying to be overtly humble by saying that. But I do have moments of checking my reality and feeling incredibly fortunate. I think the 17 year old me wouldn’t believe it. At the same time, a lot of hard work went into the whole thing.
4. I’m not a gamer at all and haven’t played anything made after 1990. I can write music though.
