“It was fun,” Reeves recalls.
Until Miller’s amplifier broke.
So he reached out to Domrose for help.
I just thought I was going to help some guy fix a piece of equipment.
I didn’t know I was about to change the rest of my life."
“I just wanted to go and drink beers and watch you guys,” Domrose recalls.
“I didn’t realize I was going to be on stage.”
“That set the tone for us from then on,” Reeves says, rubbing his hands together.
“Jump into the deep end.
Man, that’s us.
We are not afraid.”
“That was the initial spark.”
“It wasn’t going to be another one of those casual get-togethers.
You could just tell.
It was like we were on a mission.”
If the music is different from their earlier, post-grunge records, it’s all by design.
“There’s a maturity,” Reeves says of their sound today.
Let’s go, Reeves.'
So it was challenging, but also a fun moment."
Adds Domrose with a laugh, “They do have a bar now!”
