5. How would you describe Turtle Buddy? What words come to mind when you think of Turtle Buddy?
-soothing, but edgy, and worldly
turtle buddy is way more than just a band at this point, they've become minsterals of mcdanie. You can see them in red square, and feel totally comfortable just sitting and listening to them. When you get to know the band, you understand that they put they're all into their music, and it's a truly beautiful thing
6. What attracts you to the band?
Eric's rippling pectorals...
and...the music, obviously, i really like how they all kind of do their own thing, but it all works really well together. I like that they have diversity in their songs, and I really like that they take the band seriously, but they can also just mess aroun and jam together and be really silly. The band just has a really good dynamic, and that shows in their music and on stage, and just in their daily lives.

Have you/do you attend Turtle Buddy performances?
yes (they thanked me in the liner notes), yes, and i will once i return to mcdaniel
8. What would you do to increase the band’s recognition?
streak through westminster carrying a banner saying 'bright britght moon'
among other things... I'd be willing to help promote in whatever way, or help them roadie stuff for shows, be a groupie, whatever's necessary

Doesn't seem to be a lot of current mainstream artists that are listed as favorite bands. The only ones that are occur in the Country genre. Otherwise it's older bands and sort of the alternative indie type thing.
all of the fans seem to have the same mindset as the band members
Looking through all of their fans on facebook, of all the graduation years listed, only three people out of the 115 are Freshman. (some people aren't listed with a year but most are). So that's a possible group we should target, the new students aren't going to know about them.
