The UrbanWire managed to snuggle up with The Click Five in K-Box at *SCAPE for a casual chat. Here’s what went down!

What can we expect from your new album?

KYLE: The making of our latest album has been a pretty long process, since the last time we were in Singapore (2006). As we have been playing a long time live, we have incorporated more of a live element into the record, along with the usual studio songs.

The Click Five has a larger appeal in Asia, as compared to America. Why do you think this is so?
KYLE: Our label here believed in us, gave us a chance. The fans have also been consistently supportive and receiving. We really appreciate and love the energy of the fans here.

BEN: It’s a lot harder to find support and a good fan base in the US. Here, we’re given more chance to give press conferences, interviews, and concerts.

You were made to eat pig intestines the last time here in Singapore, by The Muttons from 987fm. So what other kinds of exotic food have you eaten during your tours?

KYLE: Jared Scharff, Saturday Night Live guitarist, who is here with us, ate stingray for the first time here in Singapore! In Vietnam, we also ate squid that was still moving.

BEN: Raw quail eggs. I didn’t want to eat it initially because it was uncooked so it contained a lot of bacteria, but it was seen as being rude by not eating, so I ate it.

How do you think you’ve changed from the time you started working in the music industry?

ETHAN: As people, we’ve changed a lot. We used to live in the same place at Berklee College of Music, but now we’re living everywhere and apart from one another.

The upcoming YOG is in Singapore. What sports did/do you all play?

JOEY: I love badminton, still play it now.

KYLE: Baseball till 16. I also played lacrosse in all 4 years of high school.

What’s your impression of Singapore?

KYLE: We want to live here.

BEN: Fans, if you all want us to live in Singapore, throw a fundraiser. *jokingly*
