Everything is going killer. It's loud and dirty and everything that people expect from DOPE . This situation is nothing new for any of us and so far it's been pretty effortless. We are all crazy excited to get back to Japan and party our asses off, not to mention that we can't wait to kick some Japanese ass on Halloween.

I don't think that that's really ever been something that this band has been about. We're not really a shock rock band. We're not painting ourselves up weird or having any kind of wacky gimmick to what we do.

I like to do it just because I like to go to places that a lot of bands normally wouldn't go, because I think the kids are super appreciative of it, and I think it's just a nice feeling to go somewhere where they don't get a lot of cool rock shows. That's why we did that run, and I'm sure we'll do stuff like that again.
