Argyle Goolsby: I've set the band up in a way that different people can occupy it at different times. Touring is based on peoples availability. People can't always go out on tour. This way I can always go on tour, and the best part for me is I get to play live with a lot of different friends, and for the fans they get to see a lot of people from their favorite bands on stage with me. The sound is always fresh too, because each lineup sounds different. Tony Jones: What keeps bringing you back to touring? Argyle Goolsby: A self destructive nature I guess ha ha. I love playing music live. It's nothing til it's live. Tony Jones: Do you have a favorite place to tour? Argyle Goolsby: No, I love playing anywhere people are into it. Tony Jones: Did you expect all the support you’ve received throughout the years when you first started? Argyle Goolsby: No. When I started I just wanted to have a way to get my ideas expressed. It was more of a personal thing, always has been, but in time people pick up on what you're doing and identify with it, which is cool. From that point you start getting support from those people, which is awesome. It's definitely motivating. Tony Jones: Do you have any musical influences that people might be surprised by? Argyle Goolsby: Michael Jackson. Tony Jones: What does the future hold for Argyle Goolsby? Argyle Goolsby: No clue, but I'll be there to do it.
