I don’t know a lot about The Sugars but I like what they do. Their sound is quite rockabilly but quite modern — like White Stripes. They put out a couple of indie singles and I’d really like to find some time to work with them.

Frontman Bryan Zimmerman even plays the musical saw, and you really can’t argue with that.

No, that wouldn’t be fun.
