- The living situation with the cameras.
That was exactly what I expected,
but I never expected that I would become
so paranoid and fearful.
Ah.
(intense heavy metal music)
- WHTG FM Eatontown.
- And we've got Reigndance
in the studio right now.
They have a gig this coming Wednesday
at the Roxy in New Brunswick.
When you told me only two of you guys came together.
- I moved out here
with my band exactly a year ago today.
We've been playing out here.
We play in New York and we were playing New Jersey.
My New Jersey getaway.
(man muttering)
- Are we gonna play?
- Yeah, we're definitely.

in that dungeon-like dusty, disgusting basement.
(police sirens ringing)
(police officers muttering)
- We got some complaints.
- Okay.
- All right, you guys take requests?
- (indistinct) I fought the law and the law won.

(thunder rumbling effect)
(person laughing)
He's well-rested.
(people laughing)
- Who's this?
- Andre.
- Andre, you can make everybody.
I know what kind of quality this is,
but you could always make people feel lazy, in fact.
(person laughing)
I don't know what kinda quality that is,
but anytime you wanna know Andre,
you know, you need to just like, just kind
of take it easy.
(people laughing)
- I think it's obvious
with Andre and you know,
he's really involved with his band
and he really focuses more towards that.
But I think he's, you know, sometimes kinda limited
to who's around.
- What are you gonna end up doing tonight?
- We're going an art opening,
and then we're going to see you.
- I'm gonna go down to the Red Spot.
Staten Island.

Andre was the ultimate rock star.
You know, he had that hair going, you know.
He's a great performer.

(fanatic muttering)
- Thanks for coming out so much. I appreciate it.
I needed my roommate support.
It was hoping that I would get
to meet six very interesting people.
Some of the sweetest people behind the cameras.
You know, it was a lot of fun and everything,
but it, it made me extremely paranoid.
I'm eating.
I must be left alone while I'm eating.
Kevin and I had been speaking that day.
Or should I say Kevin had been speaking to me that day.
So he was hungry, I was hungry.
Let's go out for some dinner.
- You said, you've been playing music all your life.
When did you start writing it?
Like the lyrics and stuff like that.
- I grew up in music.
My mother had an album on Capitol Records.
- For real?
- Yeah, her all, her band. Her whole family.
They were like a mix
between the Manhattan Transfer and the Osmonds, you know?
- I felt more comfortable just like, you know
asking Andre questions about his background,
which was real interesting,
about his band and stuff like that.
You know, and I tried to put in little points
about myself and like, you know.
But I don't know if he wasn't interested or what,
but he wasn't really responding.
So I just kept it like me asking him questions,
and that was just the way it went.
The thing is that he always makes the little smart remarks
about you never hear.
And you know, I thought that was an opportunity
for us to have like an exchange and stuff
but it just wasn't happening.
- When I confront him with anything,
it's like this complete state of denial.
I asked him what happened.
What happened with this fight between you and Becky?
And he said, "No, there was no fight.
I had no problem with her at all."
What the (beep) was that?
- Okay, we've got Reigndance in the studio
and here's a track called Why Divide.

- Being a musician in a rock band has its benefits,
be it women, be it the possibility of, you know,
getting your statement across to a lot of,
a broad spectrum of people.
Women.
We went to some little bar on Bleecker Street
and they sold horrible drinks.
You know, whenever I do think I, I'm able to handle
a steady relationship.
I just feel too tied down.
And, and that's why I'm not really all that responsible
it's because I can't handle
the wandering eye thing, you know.

I don't like the responsibility of a pet
because I never wanted it.
- Andre's tried to murder the cat more than a few times.
(Andre muttering)
- They're not here to take care of their animal.
And then the animal should die.
- We've found a doggie.
- The dog's face was just, was amazing.
I was hoping no one would pick it up so I can have it.
Take it home.
Does anyone know anyone that's missing a dog?
(upbeat funky music)
- Oh well, that's too bad. I bet somebody's gonna miss him.
- I know that's, that's why we're completely puzzled.
By the time I had been able to start thinking about the day,
I realized that my family was in town.
- Andre, you totally forgot your family was here.
- I know.
- Andre, half the day is gone.
- Andre.
- Sorry mom.
I'm in Washington Square Park.
We found a dog that's half alien and half canine.
So we're trying to find its owner.
I'll see you later.
Bye bye.
- You can call the police too.
Do people that lose dogs called the police?
- Very good.
- Especially this kind of dog.
- I have a really good relationship with my mom.
As hard as it is, she can look past my grouchiness.
She always understands what I'm saying or at least
you know, usually.
My mother has seen us three times
including that performance at the Court Tavern.
And that was the first time in roughly two years
that she had seen us perform.
She really liked it.
You or, or at least she said she did.
How could she not?
I'm her son.
Do you like the new tunes mom?
- The ones that I knew, I was right there with you, yes.
- I was right there with you.
You should've came up and sang some with me.
Featuring my mother.
(mother laughing)
(intense electronic music)
We're making a video.
And it's for the song, Lazy Bones.
It's kind of a being broke
and not knowing what to do about it.
And therefore, just not even worrying about it actually.
It's about worry.
It's about worrying
about how much you're worrying about it.
Real simple.
(intense rock music)
♪ I've suffered with you. ♪
(intense rock singing)
The song is one of our oldest songs
and the video is us today.
We're just shooting it in our house.
We're shooting it in our porch.
We're taking you to our favorite bar that we hang out.
You know, things that really happen in that,
in that disgusting house of ours.
The first thing I thought
about making a video is that I hate videos.
You know, I think they're a farce, you know,
trying to make someone
out to be something they're obviously not.
So we went for a real and we went forward.
This is, this is us.
It was fun.
(intense rock music)
I loved the outside footage.
I had no idea that the super eight would,
it just looked great.
(intense rock music)
(vehicle engines roaring)
Okay. And this is our new video.
If, if you like it, thanks.
I worked really hard on it.
If you don't like it, it's his fault.

'Cause it's so weird to see one of us, I guess
wake up in the morning.
Okay, I'm going to shoot my video,
and then you know we didn't see him.
And then he comes back, "Hey, I got my video."
- That was at Jersey.
- Yeah. That was at our house.
Mostly at our house.
(person mumbling)
Everyone seems to like it a lot.
Everyone thought, you know, the,
my favorite line is, "It's so much better
than I thought it was gonna be."
Thanks.

- Andre, he is what he is,

and that's so admirable.
