So, it just stuck since?
CS: Yeah, we used to be called Uncle Ed’s Private Jet back in the day and we weren’t really taking it too seriously. We were just doing it for fun on the weekends and a friend of ours asked if we wanted to go on tour with them and we were like sure and then knew we needed to change our name so we don’t sound stupid and maybe try to do something with the band and try to pick something a little more serious I think.

Is that a description of the band as well, I mean not taking it too seriously?
CS: Actually, we’re pretty passionate about the music and being in the situation we’re in and stuff like that. We always have a lot of fun but we also take it seriously as well.

How much fun are you hoping to have on the Warped Tour or how much are you thinking this is going to be work day in and day out?
CS: We’re really excited about being on the Warped Tour. We’ve gone to Warped tours before in the audience and enjoyed ourselves a lot . We’re really excited about having a chance to interact with people and just being able to meet some of the other bands and talk to a bunch of kids and we hear it gets dirty and hot and stinky. It should be an interesting time for sure.

Who are a few of the bands on the tour that your looking forward to seeing live or hanging out?
CS: Aw man...I don’t know. For me it’s like networking and stuff like that. Because we’re from Canada we don’t know a ton of people in bands that are on the Warped Tour and stuff like that. But I don’t know, we’re looking forward to seeing all the bands. We’re only on for the first few weeks of the tour. We’re on a short stint so we just want to make the most of it.

How cool is it to have been a fan of this tour, going there yourselves, and now be playing it? You seem to be taking a page out of your countrymen’s book, Sum 41.
CS: It’s amazing. We’re really excited to have this opportunity. It’s kind of like the tables have turned a little bit and we’re just excited to play with all these bands.

What do you think that Stutterfly brings to the Warped tour that people will check you out verses the other stages?
CS: We put 110% into every show that we play no matter how big or how small it is with our energy and stuff like that. We just hope that kids will come out and have a good time at one of the smaller stage. I think when the kids check us out, they will like what they see and hear.

When you went did you hang out more at the smaller stages?
CS: You know, I enjoyed the smaller stages more than the bigger stages because I’m a fairly short guy and I found being in the bigger crowds I was so far away from them. I like the intimacy of the smaller stages.

What is a Stutterfly performance like?
CS: I would say five guys letting out like everything into a show like emotions, just flailing bodies and sometimes bleeding and stuff like that. We try to give it all.

Do you see yourselves not getting as involved as you would have before?
CS: No way. I’m the first guy that would jump down and hang in the crowd with people. We don’t see ourselves any different than we were before. We just have an opportunity to play now.

How much do think this is deserved?
CS: We feel very blessed for where we are. We worked very hard. We feel that we worked our way to be here and we feel that we’ve worked enough to be where we are. There are better bands out there that are not where we are. We just feel blessed. It’s an amazing experience and we’re just excited to be doing what we’re doing. We worked our way to be here but you never think you deserve to be where you are.

The Warped tour is like a festival everyday. How prepared is the band since Canadian touring is a little different?
CS: Right. We’ve actually done mostly our big tours in the US. The tour we’re on now is actually our first Canadian tour other than the ones we booked ourselves over the past years. We’re actually just getting a taste of this. We’re actually used to the US side of things.

Did you ever feel that it was going to be harder or easier being Canadian?
CS: There have been times that we wondered if we should move to a bigger city. The town we’re from has only about a 100,000 - 120,000 people and at the time there wasn’t much of a music scene and we were about four hours from Vancouver, so there was a time that we considered it to be noticed by the industry people but thanks to the internet and really cool management we got noticed by people in the states. The whole purpose of our band is to tour so it really doesn’t matter where we live anyways because we’re never going to be home. Actually, we love where we live and it will be nice having a nice quiet place to come home to and all of our families are there and stuff. We really like California a lot but where we’re from is home.

Has the hockey strike affected you any?
CS: No, not really. We enjoy watching it once in a while but none of us are really drastic hockey fans. But in the states you guys like baseball and we don’t really like that either.
