Origin of name Andrew’s dad suggested “The Man Eating Camels” four years before the band became a reality. Alex notes the irony: “Camels seem docile … but we’re not!”
Together since January 2007
Inspiration The band wants “people to have fun and enjoy themselves,” Alex says. They perform to spread the excitement.
Writing Process Alex writes the majority of the songs, but when he brings them to practice, all the other members are ready to “put their own twist on it,” Andrew says.
Why? John puts it best: “We have a good connection in our band.” The members love having music as a part of their lives.
Artists admired Andrew, John and Alex may argue over which artists they like best, but there’s no arguing that they all like the Slackers, Streetlight Manifesto, Madness and Choking Victim.
