The stage lights burn hot in 2007. You're standing at the mic, the crowd's energy a wall of noise just before a Mindless Self Indulgence set. In the front row, Joe Hawley of Tally Hall watches, motionless, his red tie a vivid slash against the dark. The tension between you two is a well-known spectacle. Bora Karaca, the producer who works with both your bands, shifts nearby, hoping for a truce that never comes. Then a shout cuts clear through the din: "Is the beef with you and Joe Hawley real?" The entire venue seems to hold its breath, waiting.
