Interview: Plain White T's - Page 5

The month off was enough to reenergize you? 

Tom - I think so.  We would like to be out touring for the whole cycle of this record, for a year-and-a-half. 

As a band, you guys are so accessible to your fans.  As the PWT’s continue to grow in popularity, do you think it will be possible to carry on this practice?   

Tom - I hope so.  We will try to continue doing so as long as we can.  I’m sure it will reach a point where we will not be able to do so much of that.  If we were at Hawthorne Heights’ status (currently touring with on the Nintendo Fusion Tour), we probably couldn’t continue with the practice.  Every kid in the whole place would want in on that, and there just wouldn’t be enough time.  But, yeah, we love doing that stuff, and we will continue to do that as long as we can.  

What was it like when you realized that you have an unofficial fan website?  That had to be a pretty cool feeling.

Tom - Yeah, it was a tremendous honor.  Colleen, the person who runs the site, is awesome.  Her site is better than ours, and somehow she knows things before we do.  I’ll go to her site to find out what the band is doing next. 

Tim - She has more interesting things about the band on her site.  On ours, we’ll give you the basic updates, but she’ll have video clips and thousands of pictures. 

Tom - If you really want to see more of the band, Colleen’s site is pretty incredible.    

The Plain White T’s are currently supporting Panic! At The Disco in the U.S. before going to the U.K. to kick start 2007 with Hellogoodbye. “Hate (I Really Don’t Like You), the first single released from Every Second Counts, peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot Modern Tracks.
