GKA:From my perspective you guys sound very polished.Which of you is the most critical of their work?

JYB: I think you have to be somewhat critical of your work otherwise it'd really stink.
MS:
Johnny and Alex like to do things over and over and over
AO: Me"Alex"

GKA:These three go out to Alex. The capital of ElSalvador San Salvador is your hometown, decribe whatit was like living there?

AO: There are a lot of things to do and places to go. we have a tropical climate and our people are more friendly. for example, you say hi to everybody even if you don't know them.

GKA:So how was it getting hit in the face with thatnewspaper in the Sunday Flowers video?
AO: well if you like getting hit in the face then it's kudos otherwise don't try this at home
GKA:Whats it like working with a Power Ranger?

AO: we don't even think about that. to us he's just johnny.


GKA:Maurice, your site bio gives me the impressionthat you`ve been in Cali all your life. If Eyeshine ever takes you on a world wide tour, which country would be your first choice to visit and perform?
MS: Japan, definately Japan.

GKA:Eyeshine.net has a picture of your dog next toyours. So whats his name?
MS: Kiba, yep after Kiba from Wolf's Rain.

GKA.After watching the Sunday Flowers video, I have towonder if you and Johnny are that competetive in reallife?
MS: Nah, he knows kung fu. i don't mess with him.

GKA:Okay now we`re up to Johnny. First let me asksomething thats been nagging me for years. You everfind it funny that you being a Power Ranger from Texas makes you a "Texas Ranger"?
JYB: not really, I think it only makes me cooler.

GKA:Whats it like leading a band?
JYB: kinda like leading a group of trained killer ninjas but instead of throwing chinese stars we use music waves and occasionally cheeseburgers.

GKA:You`re in a band, so is Brad Hawkins from VRTroopers and Michael R. Gotto (young Tommy) has onetoo. Not to forget Scott Page and Amy Jo Johnson. Itseems like folks involved.with early Saban really hada love for music.
JYB: i think everyone has some kind of passion for music. it just comes down to what you prefer, creating it or listening to it.
GKA:You guys seem to really enjoy yourselves as youperfom, how close are the three of you in real ife?
JYB: we're friends and we hang out but not all the time, that could also be why we actually get along so well. a lot of it is my fault as i do quite a bit of other things.

MS: to be honest, we've all got our own things going on outside the band. i hang out with johnny quite a bit more than alex though doing film stuff.

AO: most of the time we hang out to jam and make fun of each other, occasionally doing other things but not everyday

GKA:You guys are all still pretty young, but you seemto have a joint purpose n life with your music. Doyou think everyone has a calling?

JYB: yes and our music is mostly about that. sometimes our lyrics are even a little elusive but that's the way they're designed. i want people to not only listen but to think about it and find out who they really are.

MS: absolutely, why are we here?

AO: yeah, we've all got a purpose here. it's just a matter of finding that out in this world and once you find out, what are you gonna do about it?

GKA:This is the last question, I swear!. Would youguys ever consider doing a theme song for PowerRangers?

JYB: yep
MS: yep
AO: yep

GKA:Well we`ve come to the end of the interview, anylast words?
JYB: Thanks for the questions, don't forget to check us out at http://www.eyeshine.net/ or www.myspace.com/eyeshine.... you didn't think i'd let you get away without that plug. I mean come on, it was obviously coming.

MS: POOP!

AO: I LOVE KETCHUP!
