Where were you guys?
Clint: I was in Los Angeles, where Scott is now, while Dave is in Calgary. We had our own bands, but kind of stayed away from the scene for a while. Just not in the focus of the limelight because we needed that break. After six years, we decided to be back in the
spotlight.

Why did you choose Bangkok for the debut of your album?
Clint: Cause my dad lives here. He came here about two years ago to teach English. And he wanted Bob to come down with me and take a look at Thailand and be here a couple of days and sort of tour around. Bob came down first and kept messaging me to come down here to check it out. So I flew down here and basically never left. We’ve been here for about six months, and we decided we would make an album.

This album’s going to be sold all over the world?
Bob: First around Southeast Asia. We’ll focus on breaking into Thailand before breaking into other countries.

What’s the difference between Same Same and the Moffatts?
Clint: The Moffatts was a four-piece band—four different ideas and opinions. And now, it’s just the two of us; the sound is a bit different. I think we’re kind of in the middle of what the Moffatts started out as and what the Moffatts ended up as. It’s kind of a merging gap.

What kind of music is in this album?
Clint: We were kind of extreme and went from one end to the other and really tried to find the balance in-between. It’s influenced by different styles of music. And so when we write, we kind of draw from everything. But I’ll say it’s more of a pop album.

What about people who say you guys are so yesterday?
Clint: We’re not yesterday, we know that. Because we make the music that we like today, we know what we’re doing right now and where we are. I understand that they’re looking at something in their own point of view. But for us, we just put our records for today, for us.—Phongsathorn Koaysomboon
