It has been six years now since Five Iron Frenzy broke-up as a band. What have you been up to since then? What are you doing now?
The main thing has been having and raising two kids with Melinda. Copeland is 5 and Annecy is 3 now. We also moved to the east coast. Life has been simple but really busy at the same time.

What’s is like working at Singing Serpent? What made you want to start it/get involved with it and be based in NYC?
We toured with Soul Junk during the summer of 2000, and that is when I met Glen Galaxy. I began talking with him about this business start-up, and the rest is history. I love working with my partners, I love the artists we support, and the work that we do. We decided we needed a New York presence back in 2005, and seeing how Melinda is from around here, we decided to make the move. It is very different from Denver or the west coast, but we are liking it a lot.

What was it like to work on a the most recent Brave Saint Saturn album, Ant-Meridian?
Brave Saint Saturn projects have always been a little fragmented, and this one felt that way too. I really enjoyed making the record. I don’t record or write as much as I once did, and it felt really good. I’m pretty happy with what we made overall.

How does it feel to have the BS2 trilogy completed? Will BS2 be touring in the near future?
It’s always nice to complete something that you start. The main thing for me is, whether or not I like the way the band sounds, and whether I think we have something to say or not. I will always enjoy working with Reese and Andy and Keith, so I’m open to more projects for sure.

Do you have any plans for follow-up solo album Ascents? Is DennisBayne.com down for good?
Definitely, that will be the next thing I do. I’m working on some more straight up gospel/worship stuff, and I’ve got a ton of personal songs I need to get done and out of my system. I’m not sure if I’ll use the ‘dennis bayne’ name though.

What are the things you miss most and least about being in Five Iron?
The people, the travel, the freedom. Also just feeling the touch of God occasionally on what we were doing, that is something I will never get enough of.

Do you have any funny or interesting stories from FIF days you’d like to share?
I was the responsible guy. Once when we broke down they sent me out to talk to the old guy that stopped to see if he could help. While he was hooking us up to his car the band was making off color remarks about something – they thought it was funny how I would glare at them in embarrassment.

This guy hooked us up to his Oldsmobile with like a six foot chain. We were a van and a trailer full of junk, and he had this ancient sedan. I didn’t think it would move. He took of SO fast and drove like 80 miles an hour, with us so close I couln’t even see his bumper. I thought we would all die. Seriously, I don’t know how we survived somethimes.

Do you Twitter?
no.

There is a Five Iron Frenzy dvd coming out this winter. Have you seen it yet?
not yet, I’m excited.

Do you think FIF will ever to a reunion tour?
Eh….

Any thoughts you’d like to end the interview with?
Thanks to anyone interested in our band, I’ve always been amazed at the way Five Iron connected and still connects with people. We had and still have some incredible fans, there is no doubt about that.

-Dennis.
