and lyrics also stem from their passion for the bizarre qualities of surrealist art and Tom Robbins books. “It [<i>Cabaret</i>] is about juxtaposition—putting together seemingly opposite ideas and finding a strange harmony," says vocalist and guitarist <b>Trevor
Terndrup</b>. “I guess we are trying to say that things are not so black and white, or good or evil, but relative to your own perspective.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
