How I Met Tom Waits

"I was a big Tom Waits fan way back in the day. A friend of mine's mom, she always had this really cool. taste," Lestas says. "She turned me on to the residence and all that snake finger, all that Ralph record stuff" When Frisel Fry did their first album with Interscope, they wanted someone else to sing Tommy the Cat. They asked Tom Wallie if he would do it for them; he said yes. The two have kept in touch ever since.
