The term "Una Mansion" is a 'conglomeration' of the terms "Unabomber" and "Playboy Mansion". For any deeper meanings, consult your personal psychic.
Yes, Eric Dover is married. He takes his ring off sometimes when he plays guitar. He claims it bothers him when he plays and that he's also afraid of losing it (it flew off his sweaty finger once during a show). Incidentally, Eric Dover is the only band member who is married (with or without the ring).
Eric Dover once read a book called "Why Cats Paint" and became especially intrigued with one particular painting in the book. The painting was called "Breakfast" and the cat who (supposedly) painted it was named Tiger. By the way, Eric has a pet cat named Christmas.
Not all of their recordings made it onto the album. "She Cries All Night" is one song from their first demo tape from '94. There's also a version of it (and another song called "Mother Nature") on a Japan-only CD-single. Another song called "Hey Honey Please" is on the Japanese version of the Album (see the discography for more info).
Jellyfish was built around the songwriting partnership of Andy Sturmer and Roger Manning. Andy sang most of the Jellyfish material and he's not in Imperial Drag. Eric wasn't even in Jellyfish for most of the band's short life. Also (and perhaps more importantly), Roger likes the new direction he's moving in with the new band and he wants to keep looking ahead. Jellyfish is the past. Imperial Drag is the future.
The guys seem to like blue, purple, and green nail polish--especially if it sparkles!
