The first time I saw Louie was in grade 3. He was bald and thin and his eyes were huge. I thought he was an alien. I also remember hearing him sing the first time. It was a punk song. He was terrible. He's much better now.

People comment on how much energy he has but I think there's more to it than that. He definitely has that, but it's infectious because of how well he throws that energy into the crowd. I don't know how he does it, but I see him do it every night. Also, he's a blur on stage so he doesn't really help us much with queuing for parts and stuff. But he's enthusiastic with spiels and it's good to have someone helping me on that. But as far as I'm concerned, all my current bandmates and I are cogs and gears. We all fit perfectly and run a well oiled machine.

Louie is pretty much the frontman now. He's the guy who gets the crowd riled up, and no one can deny how important that is. He's a natural party starter. Once he gets in the zone there's nothing much you can do but join in. I can't really imagine the Bloomfields without him. It just wouldn't work.

I remember once, after our last song at one of our gigs, he Kurt Cobained me. He ran at me from the front most part of the stage, jumped clear over the drumset and collided shoulder first into me. Good times.
