Interview: The Changes' Rob Kallick - Roger Ebert is His Hero - Page 2

Speaking of the best and worst, Kallick recalls what it was like to produce their debut album. "It was both good and bad. Good because we pretty much got to follow any crazy idea that came into our heads. Bad because sometimes you need someone to tell you when enough is enough! We went on plenty of tangents that led us to sitting in a room, staring at each other at five in the morning, wondering what to do next. On the flip side, we had plenty of musical moments that I believe only could have happened by the four of us being left alone."

Kallick's favorite song on the album is "When I Sleep". He says, "After months of working on how it should sound, Darren and Dave remixed it while Jonny and I were out of town and the result was something I never would have imagined. It was an awesome surprise."

When not on stage, you may find Kallick planted in front of the tele, watching a baseball game (he loves the Cubs), or you may see him and Darren out and about eating everything in sight at some of Chicago's great food joints (he loves to sample all kinds of good food). One thing is for sure, though, Kallick definitely looks forward to getting the band known to the public, whether they like The Changes or not. "I want as many people to hear the music as possible. Whether they like it or not is up to them, but hearing it is step one."
