Nashville rock band JEFF the Brotherhood started as brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall back in 2001 when the guys were in high school. Six records later, the band was signed to multinational record label Warners, but JTB were dropped just days before their second record for Warners (Wasted on the Dream) was due to be released. 

I hung out with the Orrall brothers outside the Biltmore last time they were in town. You can hear the touring members of JEFF the Brotherhood and the band Bully partying in the background as we talk.  

How do you make sure you get drunk enough to stay loose on stage, but not too drunk and sloppy? What does "The star was the beef" mean? How much did Diarrhea Planet get paid to play on Wasted on the Dream? Which song does rock veteran Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull play on? Is it true Jake gave up smoking pot? What is Kalimotxo and when do you drink it? Listen to our hilarious chat for all the answers.
