Deathrock.com: Why the addition of saxophone in particular to some of The Vanishing's songs?

Jessie: I got bored playing bass because I wanted to dance and sing. I hadn't been playing sax since my last group, SUBTONIX broke up, and so I wanted to focus on that.

Deathrock.com: Do you have any scars?

Jessie: I have a scar on my hand from when my babysitter while I was 8 years old stabbed me with a pair of wirecutters. The other is on my stomach, my cat became rabid and I had to lock her in a shed in the woods. I went to visit her and she attacked me.

Deathrock.com: What are the Vanishing's plans for the future?
