After conquering Britain, what do you have up your garters this year to win over Americans?
More than soccer, more than beer, more than rugby, British people love music and it really is the national pastime. And they love showmanship. I think that America is starting to catch on. I think it's going to be difficult here, just in the way pop music is these days. I don't know if we'll be able to have the same sort of success here, but frankly, if it didn't go any further than this, I'd be more than happy with what we've achieved.

We know dance inspires you, but what's Ta-Dah drawing from?
We were asking ourselves the question, "What was dance music before drum machines and sequencers and synthesizers were around?" So, I was listening to a ton of old, early '70s disco and R&B and funk. And also ragtime and '20s-era Dixieland stuff.
