	Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob   1.When you see a band's name, what can you understand about it … and how does that explain yours?  Well each band name has its own personal meaning no matter how random it may be, I think it portrays the band’s personality and image. The name could be the lamest (*wink) but never judge them before listening to them! Our band name shows that we are very fun individuals and we each possess unique personalities. But don't think we're a joke! We do have a deeper side which talks about more serious issues. We can be emo too.. 2. In the style that you write in, what are the nuts and bolts of songwriting? Never write lyrics just for the sake of writing. It should come naturally and the let words flow. Emotions play a big part in song writing as well. Deep meaningful  lyric is what I want to accomplish in a song and when there is doubt I’ll immediately stop. To each its own when it comes to songwriting, and this is my own personal way of doing it. :) 3. Who would you gauge yourself against as a composer and songwriter? I would say that the words we put into our songs are more of like the poetic writings of Hayley Williams and Bert McCracken (The Used). Straight-forward yet cleverly twirled up around a topiary. I think they are pure genius! 4. Which do you prefer to write in? First person (I, my) or second (his, hers) … and please explain your choice? I prefer writing as a first person because when I sing it, it projects raw emotion. Singing in such a way that I put myself in that particular story (song) where I can properly execute vulnerability, anger, joy, etc. To this date, I still think true emotion is still the best way to connect with your audience. The main aim here is to connect and hopefully your audience can somehow relate. 5. How was the band formed and what was the most important ingredient in getting you guys to share this dream together? Cool story. We were all in the same Performing Arts Club, PARTS, in IACT College and we were just initially a non-serious band. We jammed a few times and one day we decided to sign up for Battle Of The Bands for the fun of it. Guess what, we made it through and won 3rd place! The most important ingredient I would say would be two things, chemistry and passion. We all have the passion for music and lucky for us we are all really good friends with great chemistry. We are very fortunate that we could share our music while touching lives with our songs. To everyone out there, we live to inspire and you are not alone. :) Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob Profile page - http://www.2crank.com/bobthesausage Tags: New Interview-October 2010
