Observer: thenewno2 has seemingly accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. In less than a year, you’ve released your album, had two songs on Rock Band, toured, performed on Conan, played huge music festivals and been featured in a number of magazines. Do you feel that you face certain challenges as your band gains more notoriety?
DH: This year has been a very busy, quick year, but we did a lot of preparation in the two years leading up to this year, and that’s what I think allowed us to survive and come out of it stronger. Now that we’ve got our own home base—we just built a studio—I think it’s going to become a lot less hectic and this is when we’re going to start turning out a lot more work. Rather than doing all these little things that get you into the position where you can work and be noticed, I’d rather be in the studio making more and more records. It’s gonna shift away from the media and everything… we’ll go back to being secret newno2 musicians and hopefully come up with some great new content.
