Hello, creeps. Welcome to my new journal here in the scampernet. I will be writing primarily about pet llama care and Guttenberg-era printing press maintenance, but I will try to sneak in a little inside perspective on what it's like to be the newest member of your favorite rock and roll quartet, Scamper.

If you don't know much about me and my rascally ways, check out me in another life at http://www.brokengatesfilm.com/. Feel free to peruse the archives and chortle. If you happen to guffaw while you peruse, see a doctor immediately.

As my first order of insider business, I will fill you in on some of the questions and answers that did not get published in our recent interview with Luke ONeil at the Weekly Dig (available for your consumption in the INFO section of this very site! Fa fa!):

Dig: Do any of you own any white high tops?
Keith: I don't. But my shoes have been featured in several live show photos-- they are generally yellow.

Dig: Who do you think is the best band in Boston right now other than yourselves and your friends?
Keith: There are dozens. If I have to pick one, I'll give the nod to another bastard-child-of-Cheap-Trick band we've played with a few times but haven't seen around much lately: Nimmer.

Dig: How was your Thanksgiving?
Keith: Family, friends, and the first shipment of our new CD from the manufacturing company. Oh, and I prefer dark meat, thanks.

Dig: What's the deal with the Irish?
Brendan: As my Irish father often said, "Pog mo thoin, you feckin' gobshite!" Oh, and Father Ted is one of the funniest shows ever made.

Dig: What do you NOT have in common with Cheap Trick?
Brendan: Scamper will never play Budokan. For legal (and quite frankly, moral) reasons, drummer Mike Mirabella is not allowed anywhere near the country of Japan.

Dig: If your band was consumed with fundamentalist zealotry and was voted into executive office by millions of simpletons who hate the anal sex and love the freedom, what would be your first order of business?
Brendan: Law #1 - Every asshole from my high school graduating class would be forced, under penalty of prison time, to wake up at 4am, drive to the McDonalds at the Framingham rest stop of the Mass Pike, get trained by an assistant manager for 4 hours and make me a McGriddle. Law #2 - Every citizen named Luke O'Neil must pee sitting down.

Dig: What is so powerful about power pop anyway?
Nate: Power pop can save the world, all of us, together. And the chicks are great.

Dig: What has been the highest number of people simultaneously dancing atone of your shows?
Nate: Eighty or so 16-year old girls hopped up on birthday cake and Fresca.

Dig: Doesn't anyone give a shit about the rules anymore?
Nate: I'll tell you one thing: Mike Mirabella rules.

Nothing like a little pressure to open things up, huh?

I hope your baby doesn't grow up to suck.
