You guys just can't seem to get enough of Flyleaf, our Artist of the Week. Whatever we put down, you Hoover up faster than you can say "Kate Moss." So it's only fitting that we provide you with some leftovers from our interview with Lacey Mosley and Pat Seals during last month's TRL Rock Band special. Think of it as a belated Xmas gift from us to you…
Buzzworthy: Do you guys constantly write new songs when you're on the road?
Lacey Mosley: We all write individually.
Pat Seals: We haven't had a real good session where we all sit around and really, like, flesh things out as a band. A little less than a year ago we cranked out some new songs but it's gonna be awhile before we have enough material [for a new album].
LM: We're totally, like, longing to get that done because obviously we've been working this record for two years now. But it's crazy the way it developed from something so small…
BW: A steady build seems like the best way to do it…
PS: Yeah, we've been real blessed. We've gotten to cherish each step of the way. We don't take anything for granted. We were in a van forever, even after the record came out…
LM: I remember when we were touring with Staind and Aaron Lewis was like, "You guys are in a van? This is a bus tour; you can't tour in a van on a bus tour."
BW: Hey, he was in a van once too…
LM: He was just saying we had to pay our dues. But we had tricked out our van…
PS: [Laughs.] With Xboxes and everything.
LM: And our drummer built these amazing bunks in the back of the van, an '88 Ford. We made curtains to cover the windows and we almost got arrested in New York City one time 'cause you can't have curtains on your windows.
BW: Now that you've moved up and are in a tour bus, do you miss that van?
LM: Yeah, but we still have it in the yard. I go in there sometimes and it smells like the old days.
PS: We take it to the airport and I'm like, "I remember this."
BW: Do you make sure that your tour bus is tricked out with fun stuff when you hit the road?
LM: No, not at all. But, actually, our guitarist Jared brings his own gaming equipment.
PS: Everyone kind of brings their own consoles or whatever. But I don't have a single video game, aside from solitaire.
