Plushgun dropped debut album Pins & Panzers
a few short weeks ago. The album’s first single Just Impolite was crafted in Daniel Ingala‘s cramped Williamsburg apartment and was the catalyst for the rest of the album. He shares with us his plans to hire a skywriting airplane and his pre-performance habits.

Name: Dan Ingala
Age: 25
Favorite flavor ice cream: Anything engulfed in flames.
I’m from: Suburb North of Boston
But I live in: Williamsburg, Brooklyn
And work at: Music for a generation lost in a cyberspace sea
Right before we perform I: Pace around in circles, drink a beer (I am partial to IPA’s and Brooklyn Lager), occasionally engage in lightsaber fights via an iPhone app.
While we perform I: Dance around like a fool / chicken with a cut off head
Right after we perform I: Walk aimlessly around a crowd looking for validation.
The weirdest thing that’s ever happened during a show: Stage Diving. For an indietronic band, that is a rare thing.
Shop at: Salvation army, goodwill, Bloomingdales.
And read: William Gibson
If I’m at a super fun party I really hope I have: An isolated corner to avoid the super fun.
If I had a million dollars I would: Turn my apartment into a ball pit, hire a skywriting plane to write empty motivational slogans like, “If you can lick your elbow, you can balance your budget,” or “The secret to life is an organized wallet,” or “You are the answer to your restless leg syndrome,” or “This is God, please, stop calling,”and still probably live in a crap apartment.
If I was to be stuck on an island indefinitely I would need: The skywriting plane
If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be: Pizza. Really. I did it for a year.
Favorite gadget: iPhone, mostly for the lightsaber
I am influenced by: The Little Mac jogging sequence. You never get there, Little Mac, but you keep running.
You should know that: I’m not your real father.
