Follow the links above and get their music happening while you read the following interview, or else risk certain doom. 

Questions were compiled in advance by interviewing patrons of a local pub to find out what they really want to know about their favorite band, if they could ask anything. 

Without further ado, the CCTV All-Stars.  Note: lead singer Ed refused to open his mouth until all the band members were present -- another check mark in the "man has a brain" coloumn.
