"Sounds travel through space long after their wave patterns have ceased to be detectable by the human ear: some cut right through the ionosphere and barrel on out into the cosmic heartland, while others bounce around, eventually being absorbed into the vibratory fields of earthly barriers, but in neither case does the energy succumb; it goes on forever - which is why we, each of us, should take pains to make sweet notes."

"I wanted something very dense, something that would sustain long and more pieces of wood that would be soft, sweet, for more of a mellow sound."

"This is my second bass that Paul built me. There were some changes that were made. Sometimes I think of changes that could be made having to do with both the sound and the feel. It's definitely a beautiful instrument."

"We didn't really want to be an overnight success as that brings with it its own problems."

Success

Quote_1.png
Kelly Jones
"The Millennium Stadium thing was for the Tsunami concert. It was a thing that I think every band in the country would have liked to be a part of at the time that it happened."

Time

Quote_1.png
Kelly Jones
"The press will naturally come and go as it has done with all artists, from David Bowie to Neil Young to U2."

Artist

"It's better for the listener to interpret their own meanings to the music."

Music

Quote_1.png
Kelly Jones
"I like to open for a band as it brings on sort of a challenge and it makes things more interesting. It reminds me of when we were just starting out because we would open for other bands in the beginning."

Beginning

Quote_1.png
Kelly Jones
"I heard the Bloc Party record Japan before it came out in the UK as they are on the V2 record label. I think it has a great vibe and has great songs. I also think the Kings of Leon are right up my street."

Kings

Kelly Jones
"We changed every lead in our whole system, and to this day we still don't really know why it did it. We think wires were touching and faulting. That was it really, but it didn't make it any easier."

Day

Quote_1.png
Kelly Jones
"I don't have a special place or ritual for writing songs, basically I write songs whenever an idea hits me, in my hotel room, on the road, in the plane."

Idea

Quote_1.png
Kelly Jones
"The song Dakota was first written in Paris. I was doing a promo trip. It was snowing and the hotel room was really cold and boring and for some reason I just had a go of the guitar and the song came pretty quick."

First

Kelly Jones
"Big shows are more like events and small shows are more like traditional gigs."
