Like, every show I go to, I'm just like, you know, a ball of nerves, panicking almost.
And I was like, you know, if I'm gonna feel like this no matter what, I might as well do it on my terms, you know?
So Thousandaire, I started writing songs sort of in this vein around like 2008.
You know, I want to play with my friends, like I got some riffs, but I don't wanna, like, start a band.
I don't, you know.
I just wanna get together on Sundays and hang out and play music 'cause that's what I like to do.
And then after about a year of that, playing with a bunch of people, I found Adam and Chad.
And I was like, "Yeah, if you guys wanna be in a band, let's do this," but with the stipulations that, like, I'm kind of calling the shots, I get the last word on everything, because that's just how it's gotta be with me.

I was a sound guy at a club.
Tom is an accountant, but he usually works remotely.
We are kind of, like, I hate booking shows and I hate booking tours.
I think our attitude towards it last year, and it'll remain this way going forward, is like, if it sounds like fun for us and we can do it in five days, then, sure, let's go.
But we're totally not trying to, you know, make it and tour a whole lot anymore.
I don't see that as viable for a band like Thousandaire to, like, be sustainable.
