J. Wang (Dan Padilla, Shallow Cuts)

SPB: Have you ever forgotten lyrics mid-song? If so, how did you recover?

Wang: Of course I’ve forgotten lyrics. Haven’t you seen how drunk we are when we play? I've not only forgotten lyrics, but forgotten entire songs while the rest of the band just stares at me like I’m an idiot. Not much to do at that point...It doesnt happen often, and everyone is human. "Imperfection is what makes us unique." That's what my friend Matty told me.
