1. How did the band get its start?
“Joe Castor and I started playing in a band together back in 1996, but we started using the name Mathematics Et Cetera in 2005.  We thought the band had run its course this past year, then Tom Perry from the Weak Men convinced us that Mathematics Et Cetera still has some ROCK left in her!  So we asked him and my wife Liz to join the band, and it’s been the best musical experience of my life.”

2. What inspired you guys to get together and play?
“Most recently, out of sheer need. It’s not well known, but Rock n’ Roll is the best cure for depression.”

3. What does the future hold for the band?
“We’d love to start touring, and I think some singles could be coming out by year’s end.”

4. What have you been listening to lately?
“Jay Z, Pavement, Kraftwerk, the song “Human” by The Killers, Dirty Projectors, The Field.”

5. How would you pitch yourselves to a BYU crowd?
“Probably like this:  Hey Coogerz! We’re playing on date night at Velour Live Music Gallery! It’s cheaper than seeing “Twilight: New Moon,” plus we’re entertaining live!”
