Welcome To The Future

I really like what I've heard from the trio Mas Y Mas. These guys have many of the qualities I admire in a rock ensemble: Big hooks, a devotion to simplicity and a smartass sense of humor.

I sent 'em a few questions and here are the group's illuminating and provocative answers:

1) What are the names of the dudes in the band? Does each person have a function?
Mas Y Mas is an interglobal Power Realm, with employees that range from hyper-cleaners on Kardashev III, to black diamond hunters in Northern Africa. The local Norfolk chapter of Mas Y Mas, however, currently consists of three separate individuals; Singer/ Songwriter/ Ancient Demon Vincenzo Meddis, Drummer/ White Mage Ross Guthrie, and Bassist/ Temperamental Energy Consultant Eric "The Future" Brady.

2) I understand you guys all live in or around Norfolk now. Is that true? Where were you before?
We currently reside in housing on the North End of Virginia Beach; this gives us a hidden eye from the nefarious satellite conspiracy known only as "Google Earth". Previously, we dabbled in the District of Columbia, but found Virginia Beach a much worse place to raise a child, so we moved. The Future, while winning the "Best Dad of the Year" award for '05, has since relentlessly pursued the less coveted nomination for "Worst Dad Ever".
The world is all about following your dreams.

3) Can I buy a Mas Y Mas disc? Where?
By simply pointing your internet browsing system to http://www.rocksotough.com/masymas, and "clicking" the "store" button, a vast array of RockSoTough products can be consumed. We suggest MYM-000, a compilation of early Mas Y Mas song productions, or MYM-003, our tribute to the company that truly controls the Earth World Market, PepsiCo. This "Proud Sponsors of Pepsi" disc is being released in vinyl format courtesy of Sound/Friends records in early April, '08.

4) Who is better -- Timbaland or The Neptunes?
While the Neptunes are responsible for some of the Clipse's highly volatile energy, we'd appreciate it if Pharrell stopped acting like he skateboards like his little brother. So, by default, Timbaland, although the guy still hasn't gotten over the chimes setting. Project5 will do that to people.
