The Insider recently got a chance to ask one of our favorite rockers, Dylan Champion, the lead singer from Shapes of Race Cars (from "Greek"), a few questions. Predictably, he answered like a real champ. Seriously, maybe you can hang out with him later, but we've got firsties.

ABC FAMILY: Do you have a musical crush? Who?

DYLAN CHAMPION: Hmmm — yes, there are a couple: Tegan and then Sara. I know it's weird cuz they're sisters or "girlfriends" or whatever they are, but there's something legit about their voices and music that's really kinda rare these days. Even if their music is not exactly what we do, me likey them. Yeah, I said, "me likey them."

Is it ok to say "likey" on ABC Family?

Oh, and also Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It would be really fun to be locked in a posh New York hotel room with her over a rainy weekend. I know this is ABC Family, but we'd just play lots of Scrabble, read fancy magazines, write postmodern poetry, and drink Yoo-hoo.

ABCF: What's the best show you've ever played?

DC: We played a packed house at the Key Club in Hollywood recently, and I looked out while I was on stage and saw Perry Farrell (from Jane's Addiction) watching the set. Ok, he wasn't officially there to see Shapes of Race Cars — he was there to perform after our set — but he was there, close to the stage, bobbing his head and watching. This was a very cool thing.

ABCF: Any pre-show rituals?

DC: We like to pump ourselves up with ABC Family cranked to the max!!! Seriously!!

Stop by later this week to check out more of the interview, when Dylan gives us the scoop on rockstar living and some serious fanboy dreams.

What do you want to ask the SRC guys?
