Quotes:
“Now, it's time to break through as a live performance band. Which I think inevitably happens to any band that I consider to be great and last a long time. That's just a natural progression.”
-Patrick Monahan

"I can't say I wouldn't have had any success without her coming with me. She's really a big part of this whole thing."
-Patrick Monahan (about wife)

Between the time he told us he wanted us to come and when we went, I wrote 'Drops of Jupiter.' I kind of woke up from a dream and wrote down these lyrics. I asked a friend here to help me put the chords down on piano, the notes I told him to play. I had this CD with me when I went to New York.
