    You can ask the band a question on the Apology None Facebook page, or you can go to their individual pages and direct a question to certain members of the band. So if there's anything you would like to know about Apology None (or anything else for that matter), you can ask Terry, Teri, Barry, Rob or Zenbob and hopefully they can give you the answer you are looking for. Remember, they do live in a mid-century world so they may not be up to speed on current events; though you are welcome to let them know how things are hangin' in your world!

 

  • Blake
    Hey Zenbob I hear you like to try new things, so my question for you is what all drugs have you experimented with.

 

  • Apology None
    Like, that's an interesting question, Man. Are you holding one out on me, Dude? Haha. Actually, with this square contract I'm in, those types of experiments are sort of like this "don' ask, don't tell" thing, you dig? But I will tell you this. I'm working on something I'm calling the Love dru- Oh. The man just said I can't say the "d" word. Let's just say I'm workin' on LOVE, man. You catch my drift? If you watch closely in our little films and photos, you'll be able to see some of my experiments. Peace!
    ZenBob

    Hey, Barry is drumming so easy a caveman can do it?

 

  • Apology None
    We asked Barry your question and this is his response transcripted:

    AAAAAHHHHH ROOWWLLGGG snarl *BANG* *CRASH* YOWRRRRR *sound of chair breaking* AAHHHH *sound of people running away, desk being pushed over, lamp through a window*** ROWLLLGGGREEEAAAAA..SLAM...

    We left the room about that time to give Berry a cooling off period. He's a bit touchy about drummer jokes and being called a caveman. We hope his response was insightful to you!

    Hey Teri have you ever dated one of the other band memebers?

 

  • Apology None
    Ahh, oooh, aah, well.....It depends on how you define "date"? haha, um..you see it's like.....
    I hope that answered your question :D

    For the entire band, Where would you consider the perfect place for a concert? How many drum sets have you guys went through?

 

  • Apology None
    I enjoy the beach gigs (the ones right on the sand); especially Southern Cal. I have quite a loyal following of groovy chicks there and they're always ready to please. I also like to ride the tide between sets and check out the wicked hotrods and free milk shakes!
    Terry


    Definitely an outer space venue, man. We haven't actually gigged there, physically, but Josie and the Pussycats had an entire series set in space. So I'm hoping we'll get some far out gigs as well! Can you dig it?
    ZenBob


    My favorite place to play is a theater called The Garden (not the one in NY). This is our fab personal outdoor amphitheater where we practice our material. It is beautifully landscaped and it's just the center of the universe for me. It's not huge, but it's large enough for our fans and friends to show up and watch us groove! There's nowhere better to put on a show.
    Teri

    Sometimes we'll practice our material in unusual "venues" when we're away from home and need to flee the scene. Sometimes gyms, warehouses, and empty churches. There are a couple of churches in Kansas City that I love. One has a cathedral organ with 6,300 pipes. I'm currently building a chime tower in the garden (loosely modeled after the one in Stone Mountain, Georgia, though it is a hybrid fulcrum/electronic design). When my outdoor sound system reaches it's fruition, The Garden might be my favorite concert venue unless we get some celestial gigs as ZenBob had recently eluded to.
    Rob

    Band rep: Berry disappeared after the last question was presented to him but he enjoys the outdoor venues; particularly the Garden but anywhere there are bugs and wildlife.
    As to your other question, Barry has destroyed 35 full kits, and 1,425 components, but who's counting?

    Barry, why do people assume you are a caveman? you look perfectly normal to me

 

  • Apology None
    UGhhh! At last, someone sensible! I have not a clue where people get this whole "caveman" thing! RARRRRR!!l

    Berry

 

  • Jonathan
    i honestly think they are making fun of your turrets syndrome or have you been diagnosed?

 

  • Apology None
    I've never been diagnosed with anything. For some reason, doctors won't come anywhere near me. I can't imagine why.

    Why are all of you smelly hippies trying to ruin America?

 

  • Apology None
    WE'RE NOT HIPPIES!!!!! WE BATH AND SHAVE EVERY DAY!! WE DON'T HUG TREES OR HAVE LOVE-INS OR EXPERIMENT IN DR-- WELL MOST OF US DON'T. WE'RE SPACE AGE PSYCHEDELIC SUNSHINE ON A MISSION TO ENLIGHTEN SQUARES LIKE YOU TO THE CELESTIAL POWERS OF HARMONIC CALIFORNIA POP!

    Love,Teri

 

  • Jonathan
    Teri, why does it bother you so much when people call you hippies? you should know who you are

 

  • Apology None
    Well I know who we are and we’re not hippies! There’s just a lot of squares out there who pigeon hole us and it drags me down, man! We’re just a psychedelic rock band like – The Beatles, the Beach Boys, Sagittarius and The Left Banke, for instance. We all groove in the most psychedelic way and put a lot of thought into our harmonies and production; taking the space age pop Big Band sound and mixing it with the California Sunshine and Baroque Chamber Pop that has been so hip the past couple of years.

    The hippie movement is a new scene, actually, and it’s not the bag I’m in, you dig? They're changing the face of music and it scares me! (they all sing in unison, for instance). I just don’t understand those cats! We’re electric starshine, Daddy!
    Peace and LUV,
    Teri☮ ♥♥

    Rob, have you been able to make anything successful with any of your inventions i know that they are all trial and error but is there anything that will change the world you are working on,...like something to send all the hippies to mars or someplace like that ?

 

  • Apology None
    Man, now you've done it....Teri is now pressuring me to build something that will send all of the hippies to Mars so she won't have to be associated with them....
    So I'm going to have to postpone some of the World changing inventions I'm working on.
    But regarding your question, I have created many successful inventions; though success can sometimes be in the eye of the beholder (some of my biggest failures have resulted in priceless hilarity...the rest are just innovations...)
    Rob

 

  • Jonathan
    cool man, now i have a question for teri, who is the first hippie you will send off?

 

  • Apology None
    ZenBob

 

  • Jonathan
    but i thought you liked Zenbob you play music with him and are around him a lot and if you look at your merchandise page there is a shirt there of you that calls you a hippie

 

  • Apology None
    That wasn't me! Terry wrote that before I could get to it! As for your question, there's a guy named "Moondog" that keeps yelling lewd comments at us at concerts (me in particular). He can be the first to be sent far out of this joint!

    I'm on a shirt that says I'm a hippie!!!!?????
    Teri ☮

 

  • Jonathan
    so you dont consider Zenbob a hippie? and yes check your merchandise page

 

  • Apology None
    No! I don't understand why people call ZenBob a Hippie! What's this world coming to!?
    Merchandise page? You mean our Fanzine? There's no hippie stuff in there and it better stay that way!
    Teri

 

  • Jonathan
    i dont think he is a hippie i was just saying he resembles the persona more than the rest of the band

 

 

  • Apology None
    Yeah ZenBob is cool but he's a strange cat, sometimes.
    I can't make out what you wrote next. Did your type writer malfunction? It's just a bunch of jumble. What is a facebook? Is that like a photo album? I'm not copying your drift, Daddy.
    Teri ♥

    terry, why do you insist on messing with teri it seems to me like you are diggin on her if you catch my drift

 

  • Apology None
    Me dig Teri?? HaHAHA! Of course not haha. Actually - and I don't think the public catches it, but Teri gets agitated easily- so she's an easy target. It's always a gas when she flies off the thread (and she ends up singing at her best when she's bugged). But I don't have a thing for this chick, hahaha. I don't. I mean really haha-
    Many Grooves,

    • Apology None
      I came up with a thing called "The Nation Sensation". It will bring the World together man! haha. There's just this whole legal thing that makes it a drag, you know? But this will change the World- Honest!! It's a small World, after all. You dig??
      Peace,

      Call it like you see it?? Me and Teri????? That's crazy!!!

      Why are all of your songs in different keys?

     

    • Apology None
      It's a harsh discipline, haha. Actually, when writing songs, we try not to get caught in the key trap that a lot of musicians get stuck in, you see? But it wasn't, like until late in the recording of High Society that Rob realized that all of the songs were in different keys (bar one duplicate). We thought it would be a novel idea to record the last two songs in the two remaining keys and ditch the duplicate- sooo-we ended up with 12 songs in 12 different keys; otherwise representing the 12 keys of the musical spectrum. So there you have it!

      Terry

      hey guys i just wanted to know..how did you all meet and start playing music together..its amazing and i would like to know what started it all..and Teri i dont think you are hippies unlike bean..thanks for your time
    • Jonathan
      hey hey hey i never said they were hippies!!!!!!!!! i think they are awesome. and like Blake i am interested to hear how it started
    • Apology None
      Thanks Blake and Bean for realizing we are not hippies!
    • As for the question, we were at a park on the beach and all of our kites got tangled together.
      Teri ♥♥

      Everyone knows I have the biggest kite
      Terry

      Ugh, you're still listening to those positive thinking records?
      Berry

      Besides, Terry, it was all your fault! You had to have that big hotrod stunt kite!
      Teri

      Oh come on! It was those huge butterfly wings on yours! Like, those things were far out! I mean way far out!! They were like taking up half the sky! And what was that thing you were flying, Barry?

      A kite
      Berry

      No I mean, really, dude. What the heck was that thing?
      Terry

      Something I made
      Berry

      You know better than to piss him off, Terry!
      Teri

      Dude, I'll never forget that day looking up at those kites, man. The colors! I mean, the colors, man!
      ZenBob

      I've converted mine into a nephoscope
      Rob

      I've still got mine, man. It's like hanging above the couch
      ZenBob

      Man, that's right! I never noticed that!
      Rob

      Anyway, so it took us like a long time to get these things untangled and in the process, we found out we were all in the same bag!
      Terry

      Yeah, so we got together and started groovin'. People from all around could feel the vibrations! Like it was something magical, you see?
      Teri

      So there you have it! There was a bit of fate and faerie dust on that magical day
      Rob

      Ugh! And lots and lots of string
      Berry

      (laughter)
    • Blake
      thats pretty cool guys..thank you for taking the time to answer me..and Barry im sure that string was annoying

      to the whole group...what is the one thing that makes you the most mad?
    • Apology None
      I hate it when people call me a....! UGh!! What's the matter with people!?
      Berry

      Vegetables. They make me angry. Except french fries. And popcorn. Are they vegetables?
      Terry

      The fuzz. Definitely the fuzz, man!
      ZenBob

      I don't think anything makes me angry. I'm just full of love and peace ♥♥♥♥
      Teri

      Are you sure you about that, you hippie?
      ZenBob

      Ooohhhh, you take that back! You...You.....OOOHHHH! I hate you!!
      Teri

      I get a bit agitated at times when I toil over a nifty invention and I leave out a minor detail that, without a miss, concludes to preposterous results. It's like this ubiquitous little gremlin that I can't seem to elude. Even though the results are quite humorous at times, I start to feel that I've wasted hours on an ill-fated endeavor when I could have been helping Terry with a complex song arrangement. Perhaps I should start writing that stuff down...
      Rob

    • Pat
      ok so how did you guys get together, did you ever have any jobs ?
    • Apology None
      ZenBob: Like, we got together because the stars were perfect! A lot of people don't know this, but you can MOVE the stars and sort of point them at each other which is what happened! Like how could you explain the kite incident otherwise? It's a higher power, Baby!
      As far as jobs, I was a pharmacist. Not the kind in the dime store. I sort of made my own, ahh--medicine and sold it myself. I had quite a reputation around the area and there were a lot of disappointed people when I left with the band. But I still practice medicine, but it's more of a side gig, you dig? Hey that rhymes, Hahahaha!

      Terry: Yeah I've had several jobs. You name it, I did it pretty much. I got fired a lot.

      Rob: After I graduated from college, I started a career in rocket engineering. I was soon bored with it and aspired for a venture that was more challenging. So I joined a rock band!

      Berry: I haven't had success with city jobs. I like nature and was a logger (a good one). I was most recently a beach logger. But there wasn't a lot of work because it turns out there's not many logs on the beach.

      Teri: I was a bicycle courier. I usually read the messages then sang them to the customers even though I wasn't supposed to.

      • Justin
        I work in communications and I have recently been contemplating a career change, any suggestions?

      • Apology None
        You don't have to change your career, man. Let your career change you! You should learn to embrace both the positive and negative vibes and let them filter from your body and have it change your world from the inside out rather than from the outside in. ---ZenBob

        Just go to a pretty meadow and run barefoot through the wildflowers! You will find a groovy feeling of freedom and love you've never experienced before! Then the answer to your question will come to you! -- Teri ☮ ♥♥

        Man, you don't really even need a job. You just need to network. Find some friends and crash in their basements. Then find some groovy rich chick. You'll have it made! ---Terry

        You need a job where you can climb trees and occasionally bust some heads. It can be both relaxing, rewarding and emotionally fulfilling! --- Berry

        There may still be a position at the NASA Midwest Jet Propulsion Laboratory since I quit to join the band. All you need is a doctorate in Astro Physics and a sunny outlook and you'll be a shoe-in! You could probably even get in with a masters if you have a few years of hands on experience in electromagnetism and atomic and molecular physics. Good luck^^ ---Rob
      • Justin
        WOW!!! Thanks for nothing. None of that was useful. Now I am clear on why you have the word none in your band name.
      • Apology None
        Oh yeah! Well you're just a square with "none" in your soul, you fink! That's the last time I'll give YOU any advice!! -- Teri
      • Justin
        When did you give advice, did I miss it? I know you are not talking about the mumbo jumbo you said above.
      • Apology None
        Mumbo jumbo?? I gave you SOUND advice; given to us from the stars, Man! All of us! If you can't accept it, then there's just no helping you, Daddy!
      • Jerry
        I also work in communications and often wonder is there hope out there?
      • Apology None
        There's always hope. You just need a change of scene, you dig? If communications is a drag, then put it down. You've got, like your whole life ahead of you, man. Don't wast it by livin' in the wrong bag! --- Terry
      • Justin
        Mr. Ramsey, my advice to you is to seek advice somewhere else these hippies are a joke.

That's only a few of them and not to mention the awful names of the bands.

        On Teri’s windshield -- ZenBob

        I don’t have a windshield. I don’t even have a car! -- Teri

        Hmmm. I just came up with a new song idea! “My life had a purpose until I was eaten by a porpoise!” -- Terry
