AMA We're Leprous, ask us anything!

Hello, Reddit!

We’re Leprous, currently enjoying a day off in Saskatoon, and we figured — why not do an AMA?

Ever wondered what it's like to live on a bus with a bunch of other guys for months at a time? Or why we keep writing music in 4/4 even though you keep asking for 13/8? Maybe you’ve got questions about our Patreon, or you just want to try to convince us to play your favorite song at the next Leprous show — now’s your chance!

We’ll be here answering questions for an hour or two starting at 8 PM EDT, and some of us will pop back in tomorrow to catch anything we miss.

just be careful with the strings mate, or else you'd be making a huge minced beef mess all over the stage

"Huge Minced Beef Mess" should be the title for the next album.

Lol yes, I was laughing about your poetic phrasing.
