What "making it" would look like: "Getting paid!" Simpson says.

Band's name: "It describes the evolution of previous projects and new ideas coming together," Simpson says.

Day jobs and worst day jobs:

"Garry is a postal dude, do we need to say more! Sandy is a financial adviser, T ony owns Video Magnetics and Jim has recently taken a job as a pho- tographer, say cheese!" Simpson says. They agree the worst job award goes to Carlsen: door-to-door meat peddler.

Take on the Colorado Springs music scene: What music scene? "There are a lot of incredibly talented musicians in the Springs and there are very few venues for them to showcase."

How to improve it? The band would push for more support from local entrepreneurs and fellow musicians. "Local music appreciation needs to be fostered in order to take root and gain fans," Simpson says. "We rock because our fans do."
