MuzicNotez: What’s the ultimate goal you want your music to achieve, or for you to achieve in your career as a musician? Any particular message you wish to send?
Marshall Dane: The ultimate goal is to always be able to play…the career goal is to get paid for it and not starve 🙂 … The message I send is…do it because you LOVE it…. Keep your standards High…and expectations low… Remember that “It’s all about a Good Hang”… and finally…. you must learn to “know when to hold em….and know when to fold em”

Marshall Dane: Prince… Live in Toronto – so talented!!
MuzicNotez: I don’t really need to ask what your inspiration was for your hit new single ‘Alcohol Abuse’, but what I’d like to know, was how fun was it to shoot that music video for it? On top of that… what’s your favorite drink?
Marshall Dane: Shooting this video was a blast! I don’t think the 60 plus extras that showed up on set had any idea it was a ‘dry’ shoot…. but what a great time by everyone acting out their nights at a bar!! The band got a chance to do a lil acting as well…. (CSI cops during the intro :)) My favorite drink is either a double jack, Bloody Caesar, Patron or Gin Martini…. or Coors Light… or…. 🙂
