Occasionally we come across some fun or interesting facts about the band and its members. For example, the beagle in the “Mr. Blue” video is Elyse’s dog named “Bagel”.
Elyse’s birthday is July 10th and Jason’s is July 17th. Nothing like celebrating your birthday on a summer tour!

Happy 4th of July America! Greg reminds me once again to add some news: Gavin and Jason are moonlighting in a new band called My Fellow Astronauts. Karina guests on the new NUFAN record “Hard Rock Bottom”. Check the Sinead O’Connor song “This is a rebel song”!

I was pointed to http://www.uptodatemusic.com/ for an interview with Gavin some time recently. Nice point about the “selling out” issue at the end:
But kids these days seem to think anything on TV is obviously a sell-out. It’s as though kids think you just wake up one day and say, “I wanna be a huge sell-out”, call up your label and you’re on MTV. Always cracks me up.
The transcript is here.

DHCER (yellowbelly -at- softcom.net) reports picking up the European rock magazine KERRANG! and finding Elyse was named as one of the 100 Coolest Rock Stars! They had this to say:
Before ska-punk upstarts like Goldfinger knew their Madness from their Marillion, Orange County’s Elyse Rogers was skanking it up with pre-Rancid Tim Armstrong in the Dance Hall Crashers, fusing the sweetest soul, sunniest pop and spunkiest punk into an exhilarating blueprint for fun. With a smile that makes strong men giggle like lovestruck virgin schoolboys, we’d call Elyse “the Gwen Stefani its okay to like.” Congrats Elyse, an award well-deserved!
