Chris Kluwe (Tripping Icarus, ex-Minnesota Vikings)

SPB: What happens to Tripping Icarus now that your job has moved you to a new city? Going into the band, did you expect this to happen at some time given the nature of your full-time job [as an NFL punter]?

Kluwe: The band is currently working on finishing up our fourth cd (tracking's done, we're in the mixing stage now) and we're exploring options on how to stay together with me being out of state. I hadn't planned on this happening, but we're going to do our best to keep Tripping Icarus going and making new music because we really enjoy playing together and sharing our stuff with our fans.
