Just like, say you're an auto-mechanic. When you're dealing with your clientele, they could care less if you're a good person or what you're into personally unless you can fix their car .•. that's what they're there for. If I go to you to fix my car, you could be the greatest person on the planet, but if you can't fix my car, and that's what I' went there for, well ... that's going to be a different story. So, we want to win them over as artists and musicians. As a band that's what they're there to see. Once that happens they can determine whether they like our theology. ACM: So, you've played the club scene in L.A., and you mentioned parks and some other things. Where do you go from here?

RD: Well, from here we're going to try to set up with some secular and Christian gigs. We'd like to do the college Christian circuit. Because the youth we encountered at Cornerstone are just as confused, and have just as many questions and just as many doubts and reservations, as any other kid we've run into here in the streets of L.A. We're going to go up North and hang out with the Crucified for a little bit, and do some shows with them, and start working on the mail order. And just start spreading the name and the music across the country. Jump on some YJesf cSelecf1·on YJesf .7-!r1·ces YJesf cServ1·ce YJesf JE01r

DoD Peria: I'm just trying to think of one Pacific Theatre's thing that I hear of. For the most part, like Remnant tonight they seem to enjoy it. I see a lot of the people smile. It makes you feel like you're doing something worthwhile.

ACM: Besides enjoying playing music, what is your purpose for doing music?

DP: It's so much fun actually to play for an audience.

KP: Yeah! It's almost a physical need to play and write.

DP: I've always had a band, different bands in high school and just picking it up just always seemed so natural to do.

KP: I always played my songs by myself until I met Don, Mike, and Steve, and we would play at school talent shows and things like that. It seems so different to come into the band situation now. The greatest thing in the world is to work out a new song with all of us. It's the most fun part.
