Hey guys can we start with everyone introducing themselves?
Greg: Hi I'm Greg
Frankie: I'm Frankie
Chris: I'm Chris
Matt: I'm Matt
Jesse: I'm Jesse
Chris: And we are DREAMSTREET
Can you guys tell us how Dreamstreet began?
Greg: Two guys put us together, Brain Lukow and Louis Baldonieri. They are producers. Then had an audition and they put it in the paper. Over 200 kids showed up, from there they cut it down to 16. Then from there they cut it down to 8. Then they took the 8, with those 8 kids they made them work together for 2 months to see who harmonized well together. After that they cut it down to 5, and that is us Dreamstreet.
Who came up with the name Dreamstreet?
Frankie: Actually we all came up with the name. We all come from Broadway backgrounds. Manhattan's Broadway is actually called the Street of Dreams. So we figured Dreamstreet would be a perfect name for us.
What was your reaction when you first heard your song on the radio?
Chris: Flipping out, just going crazy. Everything you can imagine, we were going nuts.
Who are your role models when it comes to music?
Matt: Well we all have different role models when it comes to music. For me it would be like Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bad Religion. I know the guys look up to the pop bands like N Sync.
If you could perform with anyone out there, who would it be?
All: Britney Spears
Jesse: I think we would all want to perform with Britney. But as far as boy bands it would be an honor to perform with N Sync or Backstreet Boys.
Greg: How about Dream and Dreamstreet.
In this business, you are away from home a lot. What is the one thing you can't leave home without?
Greg: I can't leave home without my hair stuff; you know my comb and stuff like that.
Frankie: I probably couldn't leave home without my C.D. player.
Chris: I can't leave home without my hair stuff and my sunglasses. Gotta have some type of glasses to go with my stuff and shoes and my clothes, those are important to me.
Matt: I can't leave home without my visor.
How many sunglasses do you have Chris?
Chris: I think about hundred or so. But these ones are my favorite because they are not $5 off the street. Believe me the $5 ones off the streets of New York are the best, but these ones are the real McCoy. So I like wearing these ones the most.
If we were do go to your C.D. player right now, what would C.D. would we find in it.
Greg: Right now my C.D. player would be empty. I usually just grab one of the other guys' C.Ds because they always bring like the big bins full of C.Ds. We like to listen to all kinds of music. I know Matt likes more of punk and rock music. Frank and Jesse listen to more of like BBmak and N Sync. Chris likes to listen to rap. So I just borrow one of their C.Ds.
Frankie: Well right now I have N Sync's new C.D. in it. Which Chris kinda wrote all over today.
Chris: I think I have the N Sync C.D. in my laptop. I am really digging their new C.D. it's different.
Frankie: Chris wants to be like me.
Chris: Oh Yeah
Matt: I have Sublime, their self titled album Sublime Sublime.
Jesse: I have BBMak in my C.D. player. I have been listening to them for the last few weeks and I think they are really good.
What do you guys like better, recording in the studio or performing live?
All: Performing live
Frankie: Yeah performing live definitely. Its exciting.
Greg: The adrenaline rush, you can't beat that.
Chris: Plus you have the fans screaming it helps. The energy helps our performance.
Speaking of fans. We mentioned to some people that we were going to interview you guys. We got like 20 e-mails with questions for you guys. The one question that kept coming up is…. Are you guys singled.. married or what?
Frankie: Well I have 3 children at home.
Chris: I'm their Godfather.
Jesse: I am actually engaged.
Greg: Nah we are all single.
Matt: We are single and loving it.
All: Yeah
Chris: Its good to be single, nah its just that we are really busy.

Do you guys have any embarrassing moments on stage you would like to share?
Chris: My shoe fell off on stage. Oh and one time I had to much energy…and I did this move and my finger grabbed the chain and I yanked it off and just threw it in the audience. But…then I kicked and my shoe flew and it went straight up.
Frankie: And he stopped and just said Ooopps!
Chris: Yea, I wanted the fans to get a laugh out of it, instead of them saying..Are you alright?
Jesse: It felt like his shoe was up in the air for like an hour!
Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?
Matt: On the beach in St. Thomas. Playing golf.
Frankie: Hopefully the group will still be around. On the level of like Nsync orBackstreet boys or higher. That would be cool
