Jim: We always have a good time with Maritime. A couple of people from that band used to be in a band called The Promise Ring. The Promise Ring was the first band to take us out--back in the proverbial day.

They gave us an opening slot, and it really turned a corner for us. They're just good guys, we always have fun. I think the fact that we've known them for so long makes it seem like [we're one big band].
