Recording an album is not always a glamourous task. Just ask Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones, who are the Savage Garden Guys. When the duo was recording their deubt U.S. CD, they set up shop in a seedy part of Australia in the bedroom of their producer's house. "It was our first time away from home," remembers Darren. "We hit some real highs and lows and learned a lot about each other." Whether it was a good or bad experience, it was a successful venutre, 'cause that album has generated two hit singles, "I Want You" and "To The Moon And Back," and a third, "Truly, Madly, Deeply," hit the ground running last month. Darren and Daniel have spent the past months promoting their album, and say they would like to get a US tour going very soon. Will there be another album from this savagely adorable Aussie duo? Read this Q&A to find out the answer to that and other pressing matters! ALL-STARS: What do you think aobut all the success you've had here in teh U.S.?
