I
asked Jake how long he's known Conor and what prompted Neva Dinova to do a split
with Bright Eyes. Here's what he said:
"I
think it was 1996 when we met for the first time. We played a show with
Norman Bailor and Commander Venus and I forgot the words to one of our songs.
Conor was in the audience and hollered out the next line of the song. I
couldn't believe that someone in town knew our music. Maybe it was a year
or two ago that we first talked about doing some kind of split or something.
This
was our first time collaborating with anyone and we wanted to see if we could
make some music with our friends. We think Conor is a great songwriter and we
were honored to work with him. Also, we had a shit-ton of fun." -

In the "inquiring minds want to know" category, let's just answer the most important question right now: Between Bright Eyes and Neva Dinova, who would win in a tug-of-war. Says Neva Dinova's Jake Bellows: "Bright Eyes may have more people, but we definitely weigh more and I think, if we continue to eat like we have been, we will come out victorious."
