"We will be going out with a nondescript band that is rumored to be reuniting. That's about all we can say about that,But it's going to be a big deal, and everybody's going to be there, so, 'Hey,' in advance. There's at least three [people in the band]... I think it's a ska band, so it might be 20. I don't know, It's not Sum-41. They're on hiatus. "
