Six hours. Three bands. Two musicians. Coachella 2012: the first time I ever saw you two live. I waited at the rails as three other bands came at went, with each audience member crushing me as they tried to go check out someone else. But I didn’t budge. There was no one else that I wanted to see more. You two took the stage, and, in fashion, began straightway with the set. Your foot pounded away at the bass drum as the colossal disco ball’s descent signaled “Everlasting Light”. A slight rain pattered your kit, as well as the rest of the stage, engraving that moment for the rest of my life.

Here’s my question for you:

With so many albums out, it seems that you and Dan have always been one cohesive entity, when it comes to music. I’m wondering how your relationship with him was during The Big Come Up, when he first showed up to jam? You had seen him as the popular soccer star around school, while you made a name for yourself as most unique. Was there a tension in your basement between you two, when Dan heard that none of his crew was going to make that legendary practice?

And, if you have time:

At one of your shows at the Honda Center of Anaheim, you covered the entire center of the audience section in a black tarp. The security guard said it was at the artist’s discretion and gave me complimentary tickets. Is there a specific reason you like having the center covered?
