DIY
Hetson: “Oh man, DIY wasn’t just intentional, it was like a total necessity back in the eighties! I mean, there weren’t any big opportunities to get your music out there, so bands had to take matters into their own hands.

Downtuning
In 1995, the band decided to start playing their shows tuned a half-step down.

COVID-19
Guess what? COVID-19, a super fun respiratory coronavirus, started spreading in Wuhan, China in late 2019. And guess what else? It became a global pandemic in the spring of 2020. Can you believe it?

Chess
Brett is absolutely obsessed with playing chess! He used to carry his chess set everywhere he went, even on tour. One time, he was in London and needed to go to the US embassy. But those paranoid British folks wouldn’t let him in with his bag because they were afraid of terrorism. So, he cleverly…
