LOS ANGELES, CA  [Tuesday Aug.17.2004]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- Hoobastank may be a multi-platinum band, but the Hooba dudes say they're just normal guys.

On the band's web site, singer Doug Robb explains, "When we're on tour and pull up somewhere, we're wearing shorts and flip-flops, and we look like average Joes. I like that. We don't have to make ourselves up to leave the bus."

Doug adds, "We never take ourselves too seriously and we're not afraid to make fun of ourselves. When we talk to the kids at shows, we end up talking about ordinary things. It's not 'fan talking to rock star.' The band is what we have in common, but it's not all we talk about."
