If you think naming a puppy is tough, just think about naming your band. That would be hell. That name will follow you everywhere, so you better like it. Maybe we can all learn something from Frogs Gone Fishin'. They came up with their band name drunk. Clearly, when it comes to a band having a fun time together, Frogs Gone Fishin' don't shy away from it. After asking them a couple questions, we have become even bigger fans of this killer funk rock group that you can spot all over the lakes and ponds of Colorado.

Sorry Kermit, you are no longer the only frog in town.

First off, tell us the meaning of the name ‘Frogs Gone Fishin’:

As you know Frogs are green, they like to hop around in the mountains and occasionally enjoy an afternoon of fishing.  

Were you guys drunk when you came up with it?

Yes

You are releasing your debut studio album, “Tell Me True” on June 17. What can we expect to hear from it?

“Tell Me True” is a collection of songs that was recorded at "The Cabin" in the mountains near Idaho Springs, and in Nashville, TN at "The Pond", which is our own studio. Some of us have been living in the south for the last couple years, and New Orleans and Nashville have taught us a lot about songwriting and groove. Although we are a guitar quartet, we feature keys and horns on the album. It’s a great summertime album.   

Where can we buy it?
You can buy it online through CDBaby.com, iTunes, Napster, other internet outlets, and at every FGF concert/event.  

You guys are touring all over the state this summer, what is your favorite town in Colorado?

It would have to be the town Colorado, Colorado. We love this whole state. Vail is always fun on the 4th of July.    

Apparently the band is leading the way for the Fat Tire Bike Days up Kebler Pass on June 20th. First off, why the hell are you doing that? And secondly, why the hell are you doing that?
 
The Frogs go through extensive pre-tour training and have the endurance of a Horny Toad. Who the hell told you that? It will be a slow race if we are leading uphill.   

It says that you will wear costumes for the bike ride, what will you be sporting?
It will be green and that is all we can tell you.  

If you could only live off of one fast food restaurant, which one would it be and why?

Here is an idea…drive-thru Chipotle. They support family farms and use fresh ingredients to make the funkiest, fattest, tastiest, fast food burrito on the planet.  

Anything pertinent we should know about Frogs Gone Fishin’ as we sign off?
