When i was young, i watched skate videos all the time,” he recalls. “at that point, the ’90s and early 2000s, Skateboarding videos didn’t have to get rights to use music, because they were all small-scale – they just got away with it. They could just use anything, so i heard Van Morrison’s stuff and the bands Love, Cream and things like that.There’s no reason for that name,” he says. “I think Matt Costa thought of it. I think we were just talking about making a record, just recording a group of songs. That idea was just a name for a project. The name is one thing, but you end up defining it. You end up making it. so it could be whatever it is.”
