Hi Adam and Sarah! I have two questions (one of which I could probably find out via biographies etc but it's more fun to ask directly): I remember when I first started listening to you guys, you had recently changed the band name from Little Joe Gould to MBD. my friend had found the LJG EP somewhere and we used to listen to it on the bus to middle school.. feeling OH SO COOL for being into neat underground music, ahead of the curve. But I'm curious why the name change?
Second question is more for Sarah: I am also a woman in an all dude band. Sometimes it can be frustrating to say the least.. i find it's difficult to navigate being "one of the guys" when you're clearly not a guy. how do you deal with trying to get past the whole "girl in a guy's club" kind of thing that seems inherent with women in rock music?
anyway, can't wait to see you in Philly in a couple weeks! it'll be my 16th time seeing you since i was 15. Love you guys more than any other musical group ever ever ever!!!!!! The new album is incredible! the chorus to I Shot An Arrow just feels like something I could have been singing my whole life, the lyrics just hadn't been written yet.
