1. Do you have any copies of the split 7"s that Ducky Boys did with Dropkick Murphys, Pinkerton Thugs or The Shods?
Answer: No. You will have to try Ebay for that.
2. Can you put me in touch with your brother, Rob?
Answer: No.
3. When are you gonna come play in (name town or city here)?
Answer: If you're in the northeast then maybe some time soon. If you're out of the northeast then probably not any time soon. I don't like to tour. I could elaborate but I don't really feel like it right now. Maybe if I get more people asking then I will.
4. I'm setting up a show in my town. Will you guys come play?
Answer: If it's in the northeast then that's possible. Just message me and we'll see what happens. If it's anywhere else then probably not. We've had people in such random places as Florida, Arizona and California ask us to come play one-off shows. It really doesn't work that way but we appreciate your interest.
5. I'm in a band and I was wondering if we could jump on one of your shows.
Answer: I don't really set up our shows. You'd have to contact the club or the person setting it up. If it's a Ducky Boys show then I generally pick the other bands but we're so backed up on who we want to have play our local shows that we really don't have room for any new bands any time soon. If it's the Unloved then chances are we're opening for someone else so I really have no say over the show.
6. I live in Europe and I want to mail order some stuff. Will you ship to me?
Answer: Yes. It just costs a little more so get in touch and I will give you an estimate on how much more to Paypal over.
7. Will you answer questions for my zine, school newspaper or school prject?
Answer: Yes. Just send the questions over and give me a few to get back to you.
8. My band is coming on tour and we want to know if you can set us up with a show in Boston. Can you help us out?
Answer: I really can't. While I used to book local shows it has been a long ass time since I've done anything like that. You really need to find out who the local promoters are in Boston and go to them.
9. I'm coming to Boston for a trip and I want to know what is fun to do. Can you tell me about some cool places to see?
Answer: I get this question all the time. It's really hard to answer because what I think is cool might be super lame to you. I'd recommend checking the sites for places like The Middle East, TT The Bears, Harper's Ferry, Great Scotts and the like and see what they have for upcoming shows. The other thing people always ask about is bars in Boston. Try Ken Casey's bar, McGreevy's. Another place that I'm familiar with is The Model in Allston. But that's about as helpful as I can be since I'm so uncool.
10. Are you going to do another Ducky Boys' record?
Answer: I don't really know right now. I'd like to but that means we gotta set a lot of time out of our lives and focus on that for a while. Right now I'm busy with The Unloved and having a lot of fun with it. The next record I do will be with The Unloved but I can't rule out a Ducky Boys' record in the future.
11. A while back you mentioned another CD by Sinners & Saints. Is that going to happen?
Answer: It's been talked about but this is also unlikely to happen any time soon. It's just a logistical nightmare and I'd be shocked to see anything come of it in the next couple of years at least.
12. Is Sinners & Saints ever gonna play live again?
Answer: Probably not. Rob doesn't want to and I don't blame him. The Unloved might play some of the S&S songs in the future but that's about it.
13. Is Dirty Water ever gonna play again?
Answer: No but the same goes for some of those songs. Come see The Unloved play and maybe we will do one or two if we're in the mood. It's become a common thing lately for people to ask about Dirty Water and tell me that it's their favorite band. I'm really proud of that EP and I thank you for your interest. But I think that chapter is permanently closed as we've all lost touch and everyone has moved on in their lives.
14. Where can I find the Sinners & Saints CD and the Dirty Water CD?
Answer: Some places like Amazon still have them in stock. You can check there and see if you can get them new. You can probably still get them used. And try iTunes if you just want to download them. I'm not sure if or when either of those discs will be repressed.
15. What happened to the "Coke and Jack" video that you were making?
Answer: We filmed the first half and haven't got to the second half yet. At this point I'm undecided if we will finish it or just move on to the next record.
16. What happened to the re-issue of "Dark Days" that you were gonna put out?
Answer: It's fully remastered with extra tracks and the master copy is sitting on my desk. I spent some money getting it remastered so obviously I'd like to see it get released so I can recoup that money but there are no solid plans at the moment. It feels like the entire music business is in limbo right now. I think I will wait that out and see what the future brings.
