PRP: How did you get the name?
Peter: Well me and Jarod went out and saw this movie "IDLE HANDS". It starred this really hot chick named Jessica Alba... We wanted to incorporate the movie with band but we didn't wanna call it idle hands. We changed the idle to idol to give it a positive meaning. Then we changed the hands to minds to put another meaning on it. Idol Minds is like telling people to have an "idol mind". Self worth is the reason behind the name.

PRP: Very cool.... where and when did you guys form?
Peter: We started out about a year and a half ago here in Miami. I joined the band after it was formed, but all our present songs were written after I joined. Then we got Danny in our band recently.

PRP: I went to the Gator Bowl today, Miami kicked some ass, you like em?
Peter: Yeah were big um fans. Not me so much but the rest of us. But "GO TEAM".

PRP: Haha, well it was pretty sweet, although I didn't see too much of the game.....I was....preoccupied.......with the cheerleaders. You have hot cheerleaders.
Peter: Now that's more my game.

PRP: Any releases?
Peter: From us? Two real old and shitty ones. Not representing our present sound.

PRP: Are you planning on recording again?
Peter: Ummm....we are really broke now but we might be recording one song soon within the next 2 months. But not for sure.

PRP: Just one song?
Peter: Well we would get that for free. It would be a free CD. We'd give it out for free.

PRP: I see, so any band in particular, you wanna tour with, underground and mainstream.
Peter: Oh tons of em.

PRP: Name one.
Peter: If I had to choose, definitely Tool or Incubus. But we'd have the most fun touring with one of the local bands down here.

PRP: Ever played any shows with a more mainstream band?
Peter: We actually may have a chance to play with some big acts pretty soon.

PRP: Because of Only The Strong Productions?
Peter: Well they are awesome the best for underground's. My opinion. They really get our name out.

PRP: Yeah hopefully they'll help some bands get more recognition.
Peter: We are trying to build up a really strong local following before we get on some national bills.

PRP: Who is your favorite band that you've played a show with?
Peter: All of them. This is the best local scene.

PRP: None in particular?
Peter: They are all amazing and I loved each show experience. Fun as shit each one.

PRP: North Florida is struggling for a scene but nothing is happening. South Florida is great.
Peter: Well we got love for OBC and Headway. They're up there. And LPS. But South Florida is the best for sure.

PRP: LPS is south Florida....Orlando is south.
Peter: Well for us its all north!

PRP: It's all south from here. Haha.
Peter: Haha.

PRP: Jacksonville has some bands that haven't really got out that much.
Peter: Well you guys launched Bizkit, if any one still wants to claim them. I still like em.

PRP: Besides OBC there's newer bands Bhudda's Belly, Virus, Smaktdown or some shit, and one that's nameless haha.
Peter: Well ya gotta build up the crowd before anything else. We started from scratch with old school shit like L.U.N.G.S. and Level 9, and much more. Then Puya and Nonpoint. Up to today.

PRP: Have you ever played Out of Miami?
Peter: We played Ft Lauderdale but that's it. We plan on doing a summer stint with Debase and hit all of FL. Debase is the shit. They are our brother band.
PRP: Yeah, they're good.

PRP: What kind of music did you grow up on?
Peter: Shit.... everything. From... Well my first favorite rock band when I was like 8 was Aerosmith. Then I got into other stuff, like punk. Alot of punk. Then rapcore starting with Rage. Then hip hop like Pharcyde, The Roots, and ATCQ. Now I listen to everything. Alot of Tool, Santana, 311, Black Eyed Peas, and a loooot of Incubus!!!

PRP: You excited about Crossover Fest 3?
Peter: Hell yeah.

PRP: Yeah, I'm prolly gonna get down there and represent the PRP.
Peter: Hell yeah, that would be phat. We played last year right before Spanky passed.

PRP: Yeah, that was shitty.
Peter: This year it is all for him. Its gonna be the best show of the ...the best show ever.

PRP: Yeah it'll be phat.
Peter: I love our local bands. Its better than alot of the stuff out now.

PRP: Yeah, I think Marcus is gonna let me get up on stage and let me do something.
Peter: Hell yeah that would be awesome.

PRP: He said as long as I have the balls to get up in front of all them people. Haha.
Peter: Yeah man. I still get real nervous before we play.

PRP: Yeah, I would be too.
Peter: Ha.

PRP: What question should I ask you.
Peter: Duh. What do you normally ask?

PRP: Would you like to have sex with me?
Peter: Ummm. No comment.

PRP: PERVERT!
Peter: Noo.

PRP: I'm more important than you ask me questions.
Peter: My brain doesn't work that way.

PRP: Ok, well I guess that I just did that for comical effect, so back to the interview.
Peter: Well have you greased up any old bitches lately?

PRP: Of course.
Peter: Ok then.

PRP: DUH!!! Is that not normal?
Peter: Of course its normal.

PRP: Oh, alright.
Peter: I'm the king of the bitch greasers.

PRP: Old ones right?
Peter: Are they any other important ones.

PRP: That wasn't a question because you did not use correct punctuation.
Peter: Doh. That's cause I'm a rebel.

PRP: This is getting dumb, lets stop. Any last words?
Peter: Much Love to all the local bands. Thank you for the interview.
