Deep Rock 'N Roll Thoughts

"We humans are the only animals on this planet who continuously search for the answers to the basic questions of life as we know it," quips singer/guitarist Shane Horizon. "I used to dabble with these 'heavy' thoughts when I was drunk and using drugs, and now that I'm clean and sober I still think of these things occasionally." He seems to be chuckling on his cell phone while he says this to this author. "I would wonder if trees could be felt being cut down, or if mosquitoes could taste my blood, and I would later blame those thoughts on my drug abuse. I don't think I can blame them on anything anymore."

Moving Keeps Us Warm

It seems when the weather turns, moving locations is in the cards, in the case of singer/guitarist Shane Horizon is concerned. "I can't believe it, but I seem to move living quarters every couple of years, and each time the weather sucks! It's like the big guy upstairs doesn't want me to move."
It does keep the boys of Skyjumper busy, which is a good thing. "Whenever I don't have anything to do, I seem to get myself in trouble," says Shane. "I've been through the washer the last six months or so, and I'd like to spend some downtime chilling and writing, because I find it quite cathartic. Maybe that time will come soon."

Giving Thanks To Everyone!

Just when the boys of Skyjumper find themselves blowing off steam by playing Frisbee in the beach and catching some 'rays', Fall arrives and indoor games and hard work begins again. "It's not hard to get them to spend time writing," says band manager Ty D'Angelo. "I find it more difficult to get them pinned down when the weather is nice. They are human beings afterall," as he chuckles.
There have been some rotations in the band on Bass as of late, and that seems fine for the frontman, singer/guitarist Shane Horizon. "Having a couple of guys rotating in that position is OK with me. I think a group is much like a hockey team. There are more than a few defensemen on any team; there's no way one could play the whole game. As long as they know what's going on in each tune, and they are positive and outgoing, I think we can use it as a strength. It does help that they both sing - I'm really big on the harmony aspect."
