Goddamn, Hozi's physical approach to the drums is insane -- she's dancing on them, not trying to punish them, and you almost never see that in heavy drummers. She is fantastic.

I met Ben Verellen once. He told me he was worried that the long guitar thing at the beginning of "Pretty As Pie" was a little long and indulgent - but that the other 2 band members wanted to keep it that way because they loved it. Very nice guy, humble and honest.

I met him too, before their gig in Rome a couple of years ago supporting Russian Circles. We played football together under the ruin of a Roman aqueduct. He is just an awesome person, friendly, funny and pretty timid indeed. He's also a great electronic engineer, his amps are badass.
