Pat Smear
"After you've been in the coolest band ever, what do you do? I sat on the couch with the remote control in my hand for a year. I didn't know if I ever wanted to be in a band again. I was just working on solo stuff. Dave and I had kept in touch and I had heard about his tape, but I didn't know what to expect. When I heard the tape, I flipped. Dave gave it to me at a club and I went home. After I listened to it, I went back to the club. But I didn't want to ask to join the band. I waited for him to ask me.
Dave had been talking about Sunny Day Real Estate, though I had never heard them. Then one night I just walked into a club and heard over the PA: 'Let's hear it for Sunny Day Real Estate!' They'd just finished their set. I met William and Nate and they said, 'See you in a couple of days at rehearsal."'
