14
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,199
Yeah, we got Fraidl Fradl.
You know what I did. I

15
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,839
do that sometimes I created an amalgam
in your mind of in my mind of

16
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,879
your names. Oh yeah, so
I combined Fredo and Axel and Fraxel Radel.

17
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:18,079
So there's there's a there's a third
member of our band who is uh

18
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:29,519
in Massachusetts, just far away Nathan
and Nate is. But it's not like

19
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,639
it's not like when the you know, in Spanish, when they make the

20
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,519
j the huh sounds. It's not
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty

21
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:42,079
sure. Okay, Okay, is
it is it spelled p I E G

22
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:46,920
A R I think it's p A
J A R I. Dude has a

23
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,920
Facebook. He does a thing,
you know, he's got he's got a

24
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:55,480
big um. He's got like a
he's got his own um. He's got

25
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,720
his own page where it's just bass
players. Oh really, it's called Heckle

26
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,680
the Basis. Oh okay, and
it's just like all these different bass players.

27
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,519
No, no, no, no
community. He is Heckel the Basis,

28
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,959
but he is community. He is
tyckled the Basis because like that's what

29
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,839
he does. But he's in this
uh it's called Base Upfront, which is

30
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:25,920
a bat bass community that that you're
talking about that he him, Nathan goes

31
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,879
by Heckel heck of the Basis has
a whole story that he if he calls

32
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,920
in he could actually explain either which
way could be him on the line,

33
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:40,800
his whole community probably, Um,
it's called Base up base upfront, that

34
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,199
was a nationwide, if not international
uh thing. That is a as I

35
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,879
said, a big uh base community. Okay, so so this is the

36
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:58,920
same on the line, Hello,
welcome to the show. Yep, can

37
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:00,560

on the air. Welcome. Oh yeah,

39
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:15,959
I totally forgot to listen. I
can hear you're giving your kids a

40
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,720
bath? Is that what that was
going on? Yep, that's what's going

41
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:26,720

42
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:32,839
Yeah, go ahead. No,
I'm I'm super excited. I haven't

43
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,000
heard what you guys been talking about. I just caught the last minute of

44
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,920
it. Or so you guys are
talking about we were Yeah, we were

45
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,839
talking about your your bass group.
How did you come up with that name?

46
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:51,800
Dude? Um, honestly, I'm
trying to remember how I came up

47
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:57,680
with it. I can't remember it
off hand really, but m it was

48
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,680
just kind of like I started doing
live videos on Facebook all the time and

49
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,079
people would just kind of like heckled
me in the comments. So I think

50
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,319
I kind of just came up with
the idea off of that, like heckle

51
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:16,879
the basis because okay, player,
it sounds like you got a child there

52
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:28,279
heckling you in real time. You
know, good dad, I'm not crank

53
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:37,039
because I'm because your chops aren't good
dad, they are all well, very

54
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:46,519
good. Well yeah quit radio.
Well it does sound like you've got your

55
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:52,879
hands full, so wet. We're
doing some good stuff. Yeah, don't

56
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:56,080
forget to use the baby powder at
the end, you know what I mean?

57
00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:00,799
So what what have have you guys

of course, thank you man,

76
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,559
All right, bye bye. Did
I say his name Ronge? He said

77
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,960
a good Oh okay, he was, He would have corrected you. It's

78
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,120
fine. Oh what does he go
by? Nate Yate? Oh okay,

79
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,720
oh him. I call him Nate
Dog, Nate Dog. I was thinking

80
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:35,120
about dog. You do not I
did. I never call him. You

81
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:39,200
never call him. Look at my
phone though he is in my phone.

82
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,000
He is Nate Dog in my phone. He is legit literally, that's what

83
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:48,200
he saved as in my phone.
That's my understanding of rock and roll was

84
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,639
it came around in the fifties and
like this guy, you know, Chuck

85
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Berry and uh little Richard and stuff
like that. Yeah, came out with

86
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:58,080
rock and roll and like it was
defined by this like beat, dude,

87
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,399
do you know that was like yeah, that was like the traditional what made

88
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,559
right as so you could like that's
what makes the genre, is like the

89
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:11,440
beat, because like you could do
any song in a different genre, Like

90
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,720
happy Birthday is a folk zone,
right, but you could do Happy Birthday

91
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:18,200
in a rock style, or you
could do it in like a reggae you

92
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,840
do a reggae yeah, yeah,
but um, I don't know, man,

93
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,320
But genres, it's all sub genres
really is what it is. Yeah,

94
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:31,799
And on my way over here,
I always thinking so much about what

95
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:35,240
what you would think about Dick Sinatra, Like what what would you call it?

96
00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:39,120
Would you say it's rock, metal, alternative rock. Well there's the

97
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:43,679
Yeah, there's the alternative rock,
short gae, sort of catch all.

98
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:48,080
It's got a to me, it's
got it's got kind of a garage a

99
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,320
garage rock absolutely vibe. You know, it's kind of kind of raw.

100
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:54,559
The production is is raw, but
you know in a good way. It's

101
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,080
it's I don't mean it's I don't
mean it doesn't sound like it's well,

102
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,519
it's also a good segue because black
Heart Sound here in Manchester, Here in

103
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,919
Manchester, Aeron Solder in his crew, I have done a phenomenal job.

104
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:11,399
I hear that name a lot.
He seems like he's really has done a

105
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,919
lot. I think he produced Faith
Anne's album, Oh okay, her first

106
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,320
one. He produced hers, He
produced the first two Dank Sinatra EPs.

107
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,600
This is the first LP I know. He's done stuff for UM ten to

108
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,279
one, ten to one with the
granted tiers. Uh, there's a bunch

109
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,519
of people. Yeah, strange language, strange language. There's a bunch of

110
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,120
people. Deed Harrison, Deed Harrison. And that's the south to top of

111
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,799
my head. The guy works with
so many people. After after image Brandon

112
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,879
Christio. Oh yeah, it was
the after image. We have them on

113
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,120
the show. Here's the engineer on
this album. Oh okay, Oh no

114
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:54,519
kid. And it was a Eric
and Brandon collaboration. Black Heart Sound Hampshire

115
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,120
is you know, it's run by
Eric and he's got you know, people

116
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:01,039
working with him. And yeah,
we were such pleasure to work with Brandon,

117
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,600
to be producing, you know,
to be engineering, yeah, you

118
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:11,799
know. And then I co produced
it with uh with with Eric and he's

119
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,360
got such a nice space right there
behind the music mill. And he's got

120
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,360
everything state of the art like that, you know, soundproof, see through

121
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,320
you know doors, super super cool
stuff. Yeah, he's got uh,

122
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:28,519
every toy you want to play with, man, old amps, old cabs,

123
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,799
big, you know, just huge, old, stuffy tons of it.

124
00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:39,120
So we were experimenting and yeah,
I think we uh man um over

125
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,720
like a three four day period.
We recorded this with him that quick.

126
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,840
Huh yeah. Wow. Well we
rehearsed with the songs. Took about a

127
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:50,159
year. Yeah, yeah to write
that's just travel right, Yeah, and

128
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:54,279
then I went in and reached the
vocals and and and you know there's mixing

129
00:13:54,399 --> 00:14:00,919
and this post stuff. You know
this, I went with a keyboard after

130
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,399
we were like adding some stuff.
Yeah, you'll get to hear it.

131
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,879
Yeah, yeah, there's there's a
lot of it's it's it's an adventurous thing.

132
00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:13,480
We're calling it obscurity and dissonance,
Okay, and it's it's uh,

133
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:20,000
it's a concept album. It's an
old school concept album where uh it's about

134
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:26,879
a guy lost in space okay,
and uh as he's as his spaceship is

135
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,519
running out of fuel and he's going
further out into the into the nowhere into

136
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,679
the outer you know, the cosmos. Yeah, into the space. He's

137
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:43,000
uh right, like kind of searching
listening for any communication that he can make

138
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,919
with anyone. And that's kind of
like the album you're hearing is the stuff

139
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,600
coming in through the through the dial
and as he's looking for for communication,

140
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:56,360
Okay, and uh you know it's
it's it's kind of this like lost in

141
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,120
space type of thing. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, And that's I don't

142
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,799
know, there's I think there's a
lot of people who are kind of tired

143
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,559
of the same old stuff. You
know, everybody's like super political or super

144
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:09,039
introspective, or everything's a love song
or a breakup song, and that just

145
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:15,200
gets cheesy and old, you know, or you know everyone's or like your

146
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,200
message. That's it's it's so hilarious
when an artist has like a message for

147
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,720
everyone. Really, your message are
you gandhi? You're just a chick with

148
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:26,240
a guitar. Man, you don't
have like a message for us. You're

149
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:30,240
just you know, like, what
are you gonna solve? You know,

150
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,480
just just just just you know,
has makes sound cool, man makes sound

151
00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:35,840
cool that we want to listen to
again and over again. Yeah, And

152
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:41,039
I think that was like like the
vibe when I hear the stuff that was

153
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,519
influencing me when I was listening to
this stuff like a lot of Failure,

154
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:46,840
a lot of Melvin's David Bowie um
where it's like, yeah, you know,

155
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:48,960
there's some love songs and stuff,
but there's also just kind of cool

156
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,840
songs about whatever, some some cool
concept man, yeah, some some literary

157
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:56,919
imagination role yea. Everything doesn't have
to have a deep, you know,

158
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,159
message, although there is some on
this album, you know here and there.

159
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,559
Well, that's the thing about music
is ultimately it's it's the meaning of

160
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:07,919
it is up to the listener.
You know, they can they can take

161
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,919
have you either if you want to
take ourselves too seriously? No, I

162
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,919
get it, you know what I
mean, Like I want to take ourselves

163
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,120
our art seriously, but I also
don't. Yeah, you know, I

164
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:19,480
like, I also just want to
be open to just like goofing off and

165
00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:22,480
that's cool too. Have either of
you guys ever had the I've never thought

166
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:26,600
to ask anybody this before, and
I don't so I don't know if this

167
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:29,679
is a common experience people have or
not. But have either of you ever

168
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:33,799
had had this happen where a song
means something to you, the lyrics means

169
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,200
something to you, and then you
hear the artist or whoever wrote the lyrics

170
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,519
talking about it and they say something
completely different than what it means to you,

171
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,720
And there's something kind of jarring about
that, Like, okay, all

172
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:49,679
right for me. For me,
it's not jarring. I kind of just

173
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:55,120
expect it. I expected at this
point a person that kind of like broke

174
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,639
that, you know, m illusion
a collective person that we we that we

175
00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:07,839
like is a manam James Keenan the
Leaders Circle APC that like he He's the

176
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,839
first person that broke that illusion of
like, I'm supposed to like it one

177
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:18,759
certain way because I think that that's
what they meant, right, And time

178
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:23,160
after time, more often than not, whatever you're thinking is not going to

179
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:29,359
land whatever they're thinking. Right.
Furthermore, furthermore, words words themselves are

180
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,960
inert, right, Like if I
say the word love, okay, then

181
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,039
you hear that word and you shake
your head. I'm like, okay,

182
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:40,319
like the word love and you're like
okay, and I see you shake your

183
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,359
head. But what really happened is
I said the word love and then you

184
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,119
went in your mind to all of
your experiences or not experiences of what that

185
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:52,119
word means to you, And then
you shook your head like I'm supposed to

186
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,640
know what you meant, you know
what I mean? So yeah, I

187
00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:57,079
think I think it's the same thing
with art. You know, it's just

188
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,480
it's just going to mean different stuff, you know, crack Glynn Rose.

189
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,160
You know, it might be just
like a whatever song, but to someone

190
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,079
it may mean so much. Yes, Like you know, like Forever in

191
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Blue Jeans could be uh, you
know about how I killed a drifter,

192
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:15,160
I left him in his blue jeans. But you know that's what it means

193
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,640
to me. Well I'm sorry to
hear that in a way, but but

194
00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:25,920
again, you know, it doesn't
matter. Awesome, So what's the never?

195
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,640
Yeah, look, yeah, let's
do that. Let's do one.

196
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,519
What do you guys want to play
the one? Absolutely? Yeah? What

197
00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:33,839
do you you want to do?
The math song? Yeah? You know,

198
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,720
if you if you're a fan of
Air between Us, you might,

199
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:41,960
I am you might like if there's
any Dank Sinatra fans in the comments or

200
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:45,000
in the air right now, this
would be a little call back to the

201
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:48,319
first album. Yeah, I was
gonna say yeah, prior to prior to

202
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:51,960
the new the new stuff they were
hearing today or between Us is my favorite.

203
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:56,000
Uh. Pre uh what's the name
of the new album again? This

204
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:02,000
is Obscurity and Dissonance. Obscurity and
Dissonance, yeah, um yeah, prior

205
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,680
to prior to this album, air
between Us is my favorite. That was

206
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,720
off of Bulterior Motives, Two Birds
Stoned at Once? Yeah, is that

207
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:14,440
really the name of Yes, absolutely, I didn't realize we called it Bulterial.

208
00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:18,680
I didn't realize that we called it. The idea was that we were

209
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,839
gonna then have another album later on
down the line called Bulterior Motives with another

210
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,200
sub title. Ye. But the
first subtitle was two Birds Stoned at Once

211
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:32,279
because the first album was just us
two you know. This album we added

212
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,119
Nate Yam and the first the album
cover for the first album, the artwork

213
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,000
is our mugshots. Yeah. Uh, and it's just the two of us,

214
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,240
So, you know, adding Nate
added so much depth to songwriting and

215
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,599
to playing in this band. Yeah
and um yeah, so we we kind

216
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,519
of you know, went with the
concept album. But you know, if

217
00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:55,319
we bring back Bultier Motives, there'll
be there would be another subtitle, you

218
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,920
know, and it would be definitely
just irreverent and zany because we don't care.

219
00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:03,359
Yeah, all right, cool,
Well let's listen to this. So

220
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:04,519
yeah, this is one of the
ones I haven't heard yet, so this

221
00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:07,519
will be uh, this will be
fun. So uh, this is the

222
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,599

Hey, uh, let's see I

252
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:33,880
show we mentioned is in there.
Hello Kyle, Kyle. Uh, let's

253
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,359
see I thought I saw Jef.
Dude. Dave, my friend Dave Wally

254
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:41,319
is in the Facebook live chat.
Dave is a very talented musician. I

255
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:44,799
went to high school with Dave,
and uh, he's got a podcast he's

256
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:47,680
gonna be working on. I gotta
talk to him more about that. I

257
00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:52,480
think he wants some input from me. But yeah, very It's funny Dave.

258
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,319
David called the show recently and we
talked about it in high school because

259
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:59,839
my favorite band is Kiss, and
in high school Dave used to give me

260
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,920
a hard time about it, and
uh so, after all, what could

261
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:10,799
be a hard time guys were in
makeup and giant boots singing rockne I know,

262
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,200
right, But but then he's funny. He called the show one day

263
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,240
and we talked about it, and
uh, he's he respects them now and

264
00:31:17,759 --> 00:31:19,960
even even when to an audition at
one point for a Kiss tribute band.

265
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:23,240
So it's kind of funny. But
like all these years later to talk about

266
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:26,599
that, because I still remember what
he used to give me a hard time.

267
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,839
It's funny. But God, bless
the internet. You know, you

268
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,160
can connect with people from you know, decades ago. Yeah, I won't

269
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,960
say how many decades, but decades
ago. Speaking of Kiss, I was

270
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:38,680
at a music Connection you know where
music connect, you know, music music

271
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:41,279
the record store. Yeah, we
have. It's like the best record store

272
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:45,559
in Manchester. I mean, you
know they got that guy on Summerville.

273
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,039
I haven't been in there in a
really long but the dude, Yeah,

274
00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:52,680
Music Connection with it was like it
was cheap. It was like ten bucks.

275
00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:55,960
They had Kiss Alive, the double
album. Yeah, I had to

276
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,160
get it, man, Oh no
kidding. Yeah. On vinyl, the

277
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,799
original Nice Nice. I'm a sucker
for vinyl. Yeah, dude, I

278
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,279
love it. I love it.
Somebody told me on the show, was

279
00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:07,799
someone who said this that in uh
in twenty twenty two, it was the

280
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:13,759
first year that vinyl out again.
Yep, it's real. It's coming back.

281
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,400
Yeah. I think people enjoy it. Yeah, there's something cool about

282
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,359
it, you know what I mean. The other day I was hanging with

283
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:23,599
my girl. We put on Master
of Reality. Yeah, and um,

284
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,559
you know it starts off with sweet
Leaf and you know, like towards you

285
00:32:29,759 --> 00:32:35,480
a song. It was like the
song ended, what is that? What

286
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,599
is that? What is that?
Yeah, it's the end of we gotta

287
00:32:37,799 --> 00:32:43,440
Side B, we gotta put Side
B on. Yeah, someone's got so

288
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,079
it's cool. Yeah, it's cool
to hold it in your hand and his

289
00:32:46,319 --> 00:32:50,359
artwork on it. And well,
I think too. Part of why vinyl

290
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,480
sell so well now is a lot
of people just um, because I never

291
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:57,880
actually stopped. And I think a
lot of people, if they're really a

292
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,839
fan of an artist, you know, they'll they'll buy the final and and

293
00:33:00,039 --> 00:33:04,359
just never even open it. Just
key to collect it because I love the

294
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,720
artists absolutely, you know, and
they might also buy the CD to listen

295
00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:09,839
to you or I have have doubles. I have a lot of I like,

296
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,599
I have my Sergeant Peppers only Hard
Club and I have a double which

297
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,279
I like, I have with the
one I listened to and the one I

298
00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:17,839
play. Yeah, you know there's
I have a few records. Yeah,

299
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,119
there's there's a few records. I
have double Dark Side of the Moon.

300
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,319
Um. By the way, my
Sergeant Peppers is an original Apple Records Sargeant

301
00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:30,079
Peppers, which is why I don't
I do not play it. Oh wow,

302
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,000
it's definitely over one hundred bucks worth. It's like if I try to

303
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
sell it on EBAD probably get a
couple hundred bucks or at least it's got

304
00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:42,319
the original pull out cut cut cut
your own Sergeant Peppers uniform. Really yeah,

305
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,039
it was because like inside the sleeve
it had this thing where like you

306
00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:47,240
could you know, um, you
had like little stripes and a star and

307
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,920
you could make it. You can
make your own uniform. Yeah, I

308
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,240
have a sticky fingers with the original. It's got a zipper with the zipper

309
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:58,240
yeah yeah, and like you know
you don't play that man, right,

310
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,680
Yeah, I have an unopened and
Peter Frampton comes alive unopened. Yeah,

311
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:07,039
it's never it's sealed, never been
open. Yeah yeah, and I can't

312
00:34:07,159 --> 00:34:10,880
I can't listen to it, right, that's cool. But my record player

313
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:16,719
has bluetooth on it because it's twenty
twenty three. Yeah. Yeahs my mind

314
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,920
that you have like something two things
that should not exist together and they do.

315
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,079
Yeah, it's like retro retro tech
man, that is. That is

316
00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:28,920
kind of funny. Like if I
want the pops and hisses, then yeah,

317
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,800
I'll put it. I'll put on
a vinyl. But if I want

318
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,320
to listen to like h Clue,
yeah, I don't understand it, Like

319
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,880
I'd rather listen to retro stuff all
day. But then I was shocked.

320
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,360
I don't know if I've I've talked
about it on the show. I can't

321
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,559
remember if I've talked about it with
you guys before on the show, But

322
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,599
uh, was it maybe five or
six years ago. I'm on bandcamp dot

323
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:51,800
com and I said, and I
realized that, uh, this this cassette

324
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,239
tapes and now that, and now
that's come back in a big I mean,

325
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,960
it's never gonna last. The last
cassette tape I bought was a local

326
00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:01,840
band called Black Hatch. Yeah,
have you ever heard of Black Hatch?

327
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:07,760
Their local Manchester hard rock garage rock, hard garage rock, really good stuff

328
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,639
like rock and dude, if you
like Kiss, check out Black Hatch.

329
00:35:12,159 --> 00:35:14,559
But yeah, they were selling tapes
and I was like, are they selling

330
00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:16,960
tapes? And they were like it
was dude. They were so cool.

331
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:20,400
They had a they had a box. It was like, I think it

332
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,840
was outside of um oh, what's
that tattoo places chess place right there down

333
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,239
there down there? Anyways, Yeah, yeah, they were playing outside the

334
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,079
back of that. No, no, no, the other one. Oh

335
00:35:32,599 --> 00:35:37,559
anyways, Uh, they're playing out
behind the back of it. And they

336
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:39,320
had a box with all a bunch
of tapes in it, and it was

337
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:44,840
like give us five bucks or just
take a tape. Yeah, like like

338
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,119
taking it, you know, like
you don't have to pay for it,

339
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,559
but we will will accept your money. Yeah, it was cool and I

340
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:52,639
definitely took put my five bucks in
there. But yeah, yeah, it's

341
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,239
it's cool. I mean, tape
tape is cool man, you know.

342
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,039
I mean if sometimes you know,
you play something a bunch of times and

343
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:05,920
then you start you start to hearing
that that hiss, you know. I

344
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,119
remember us. I used to make
my mixes off the radio. I mean

345
00:36:10,639 --> 00:36:13,960
I used to us to like wad
up a piece of tissue paper and like

346
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,400
shove it in the little slots in
the bottom part of the tape. Ye,

347
00:36:16,119 --> 00:36:19,119
and I could just tape over it. Oh, you make my own

348
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,119
mix tapes all right off the radio. I would. I would go so

349
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,280
far as to, like if the
tape broke, if I wore it out,

350
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,199
I would actually try to and a
couple of times it actually worked.

351
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,880
I would Yeah, I'd try to
tie them together. I would literally I

352
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,159
would tie them together. That doesn't
work, Yes, it does, that

353
00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:40,280
would work. You would skip,
you would skip a certain part well yeah,

354
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,760
yeah, but you have to make
sure that both of the top that

355
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,599
you have to make sure that thin
enough. The top and the bottoms are

356
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:52,360
different and positive and negative. It's
weird. Yeah, Like there were certain

357
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,519
ones that did pop that I would
just tie because it goes to side B

358
00:36:55,679 --> 00:37:00,159
from side A. That was the
risk you you took. I didn't say

359
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:02,679
it was perfect, but I say
you could do it, so that would

360
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,440
work, huh. I mean for
a while, right, eventually, no

361
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:09,320
kidding. It's like if you're listening
to Floyd to go from us and them

362
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:15,719
into breathe like what happened, people
would never know. You'll never get to

363
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:22,360
hear the Great Break Remix miximix.
Oh that's wild, that's wild. We

364
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,239
want to do it. We want
to we want to put out a vinyl

365
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,360
Yeah, you know, like it's
expensive. It is what I hear.

366
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,920
It is expensive. It's not just
the expensive thing. But believe it or

367
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,920
not, there's a waiting list.
Really, even if you have money,

368
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,199
good luck, there's a bad quarter. Interesting, yeah, because there's probably

369
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,079
not very many companies that do it. No, there isn't. There isn't.

370
00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:44,239
And then you can go as you
can go as few as like I

371
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,000
want to make ten for seventy five
a pop. Or you can go from

372
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,920
like I want to make a thousand
for ten bucks each. Oh wow,

373
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,960
you know what I mean. Like
it's it's it gets it gets crazy.

374
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:58,320
It is expensive. It's absolutely expensive. Yeah. But you know the thing

375
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,920
is if you so you're not gonna
if you make one or two or three,

376
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,440
if you make a handful, You're
not doing it to make a profit.

377
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,639
You're doing it to like, you
know, put it on the fridge

378
00:38:06,679 --> 00:38:09,639
and show everyone that you made a
record, right yeah, yeah, yeah,

379
00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:15,119

392
00:39:04,159 --> 00:39:06,679
Are you guys playing out a lot

393
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:13,960
on getting the album done? Scribe? We uh, we are definitely Scribe,

394
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:20,119
We are definitely uh. We have
definitely um taken a back seat to

395
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:25,159
performing this year. Yeah, A
good chunk of this year went straight into

396
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:31,119
writing material, recording, jamming,
jamming these songs out to polish and recording

397
00:39:31,159 --> 00:39:37,000
and tracking and getting getting everything up
to up to stuff with everything. So

398
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:38,559
like we we've, as I said, taking a back seat to it,

399
00:39:38,639 --> 00:39:44,320
but we are definitely trying to hit
the road quote unquote. Uh yeah.

400
00:39:44,639 --> 00:39:50,519
So this this month, we're playing
at Area twenty three in the seventeenth and

401
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:54,159
Conquered. I don't know the dates
were deets deats. So it's gonna be

402
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:59,880
Saturday, Saturday. Yeah, it's
gonna be Saturday, June seventeenth, start

403
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:02,280
at that Area twenty three, and
I think the music is gonna start there

404
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:09,599
at eight and uh, then we're
gonna be uh, we're gonna be in

405
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:15,719
Dover on August twenty fifth at the
Strand Theater. Ah, yes, great

406
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,760
place. Yeah, every everything.
I've never been there, everything I hear

407
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,920
about it. Yeah, and they
put your name on the marque and everything,

408
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,000
which is really cool. I see, I see a lot of cool

409
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:28,159
pictures of fans in front of the
marquee and it's awesome. It's really good

410
00:40:28,199 --> 00:40:32,079
to say. That's something in my
calendar for July twenty ninth in Nashville.

411
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,719
I think they got canceled. Yeah, I think there's a discreptancy with um

412
00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:43,039
a particular venue in Nashville, but
um over that we have one, as

413
00:40:43,119 --> 00:40:45,800
I said, as I said the
seventeenth of this month, we're that's like

414
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,480
next Friday. Yeah, well next
Saturday. It's next Saturday. That's Saturday.

415
00:40:52,639 --> 00:40:59,000
And then August twenty fifth, so
like we're we're not We're trying to

416
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:01,880
get back into it because we've been
kind of like shelling ourselves to make this

417
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:07,480
as good as possible. Yeah.
Yeah, um, and you know it's

418
00:41:07,519 --> 00:41:12,000
a full album, which is ambitious
in this era because there's a you know,

419
00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:15,719
not that many Yeah that they're really
doing that. I mean, you

420
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:16,480
know, and of course we live
in a time when you've got so many

421
00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:20,400
different options anyway, with the internet. Like, for example, yesterday I

422
00:41:20,519 --> 00:41:22,480
had on I don't know if you
know Holly Brewer, Um, I've heard

423
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,800
the name. Yeah, yeah,
she was on the show yesterday. She

424
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,519
called in and we actually did a
world radio premiere for her new single,

425
00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:32,599
Clothesline. But what she does is
she she's on a regimented schedule. Every

426
00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:37,400
month, she releases a new single
every sing and she's been doing that since

427
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,280
twenty nineteen. But that's it.
That like there's no big album or anything.

428
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:45,400
So every every month she releases one
song and it's yeah, he's consistent,

429
00:41:45,559 --> 00:41:46,840
Yeah it is. Yeah, yeah, she sticks to it. But

430
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,239
but it's, um, there's so
many different ways to do it. Was

431
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,159
it important to you guys to do
that, to make a make a full

432
00:41:53,199 --> 00:41:57,480
album? Like did you decide from
the beginning with with this one it was

433
00:41:57,519 --> 00:42:00,800
gonna be a full album? Or
yeah? Yeah, yeah. The first

434
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,880
one was an EP with a couple
of covers on it. Yeah, you

435
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,719
know we had that was back when
I was on base in the band Frank.

436
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,679
Uh. You know, Frank was
an amazing guitarist. Yeah, but

437
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,400
we had a couple of covers on
that, uh, and then the second

438
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:20,239
one, Uh, it was like
I think like thirty four minutes total.

439
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,719
Yeah, it just wasn't long enough
to be an album and it was just

440
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,400
jaxelent I and so I think we
really wanted a full album. And then

441
00:42:27,519 --> 00:42:30,320
we started talking about a concept and
it was like, all right, you're

442
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,960
right now I think about it.
No one is doing stuff like that.

443
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,400
Yeah, no one's putting out a
concept album with thirteen songs and it's probably

444
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,119
gonna be close to like an hour
long. Yeah, like that's um,

445
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,119
but here we are and we're doing
it. I think it was important because

446
00:42:45,159 --> 00:42:49,320
we we had um, we had
a lot of songs with a certain vibe,

447
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,760
and we actually wrote we wrote a
lot of songs that didn't make it

448
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,480
to this album really, you know, so we I think we we ended

449
00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:59,639
up we started with like twenty and
then we like just carved him off,

450
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:02,519
chop some way, and you cut
as much fat off as you can and

451
00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:05,599
you end up with kind of like
the songs that you don't want to get

452
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:08,079
rid of, and that's what we
ended up with, these thirteen songs.

453
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:14,360
Yeah. Yeah, it's you know, talking about what we were talking about

454
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,719
earlier, where it's like some of
these songs are serious and some are not.

455
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:21,760
Um and I think that's uh part
of just kind of the concept of

456
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,760
the you know, the chaos of
being lost in space, you know,

457
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:30,840
like the the existential thoughts you're going
to have of like you know, uh,

458
00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:34,079
this right, this thing in front
of me matters, but also you

459
00:43:34,159 --> 00:43:36,559
know what does any of this matter? You know? Sure? So it's

460
00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:40,679
like a I think there's um so
many different things that we had to say,

461
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,679
and it couldn't have been done with
less songs. We cut away with

462
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,000
what we could, yeah, what
we had to yeah, and what we

463
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,000
what we kept we just couldn't get
rid of. Right, right, Well,

464
00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:55,039
let's um, let's play another one, because yeah, we're we're rapidly

465
00:43:55,119 --> 00:43:58,400
running out of time, but I
want to I'd like to get at least

466
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,440
one more and now, and then
we'll do one more at the end of

467
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,519
the show. But let I'll let
you defer to you guys what I should

468
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,440
play next. Oh, you know, since you said you liked it,

469
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:14,119
um, oh Bowser, Yeah,
I like everything on here, but yeah,

470
00:44:14,159 --> 00:44:17,800
Bowser, Uh, so far as
my personal favorite. Um, that's

471
00:44:19,079 --> 00:44:22,400
Nate. We're hoping to hear Big
Sleep. Maybe we could do Big Sleep

472
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,199
as like the Outra I don't know, Yeah, whatever whatever you want to

473
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,559
do, Yeah we can do that. But all right, let's um,

474
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,679
yeah, this is a this is
a quick one. Actually it was only

475
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,400
two and a half minutes. That's
a short one. But let's we'll give

476
00:44:31,440 --> 00:45:00,679
this a listen. We've got Danks
and Outra here with us in studio to

477
00:45:00,039 --> 00:46:49,039
my fadial line chain just this time
it's just my en to mynd that is

478
00:46:49,159 --> 00:46:52,599
Bowser Dank Sinatra. That is brand
new coming off the new album. And

479
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,440
uh yeah, Nate said in the
chat room, thanks for playing that one.

480
00:46:57,159 --> 00:47:00,760
He wrote that, yeah, very
very cool. Yeah that's my personal

481
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,679
favorite from the new album. And
uh yeah banger, great stuff, great

482
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,239
stuff. Well guys, before we
run out of time, and we are

00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,880
going to play one more song,
Dan Michelle, but we are we are

484
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,440
approaching the end of the program.
So I want to make sure that everybody

485
00:47:15,519 --> 00:47:17,599
knows where to find you online and
so they can keep up with everything that

486
00:47:17,679 --> 00:47:21,239
you're doing, and of course keep
an eye out for when the album is

487
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,800
released in July, and all the
good stuff and social media. Anything you

488
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:28,119
want us to uh make sure our
listeners know about what you want to check

494
00:47:49,639 --> 00:47:52,320
one Dank Sinatia out there, but
we like to think that we're there.

495
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:57,039
We're the cool ones. I think
the albumm says we're cool. The other

496
00:47:57,079 --> 00:47:59,760
one's a hip hop artist. I
think, right, isn't there there's many.

497
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,199
There's rock rock and roll and rock
and roll ones, there's heavy metal

498
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,159
ones. There's a few. Yeah, we've been We've been approached by a

499
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:08,599
couple. We got stone and thought
of it on our own. We we

500
00:48:08,679 --> 00:48:15,199
we've been approached by a couple.
Like actual Dank Sinatra pages really no season

501
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,239
desists, just like hey, congratulation
respect. You know, from one dank

502
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,000
Sinata to another, really good.
Okay, oh that's good. That's dank

503
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:28,320
Sinata brother from another Dank Sinatra,
mother nice. I don't know if that's

504
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:35,760
not that, but it's very POSSI
very positive. I think Mike Pennz will

505
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,119
have a heart attack thinking about that
sentence. Oh yeah, no, I

506
00:48:38,159 --> 00:48:43,519
think you guys are awesome. I
love the music and uh, very happy

507
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:45,679
that we were able to do this
today. And I'll get it cued up.

508
00:48:46,039 --> 00:48:50,599
What was the song? Uh?
You wanted to end with? Oh,

509
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,239
big Sleep, Big Sleep, Big
Sleep, which we would love to

510
00:48:52,519 --> 00:48:55,559
if if Deddie Gibson, if you're
out there all right, guys, thank

511
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:59,400

and of course Nate in the chat room

512
00:48:59,639 --> 00:49:02,199
from Dank Sinatra, We're going to
close with this Big Sleep. Check this

513
00:49:02,320 --> 00:52:30,800
out time, sweet my Slave.
From the studios of w m n H

514
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:35,599
ninety five point three FM in downtown
Manchester, New Hampshire. You are tuned

515
00:52:35,639 --> 00:53:14,079
in to the best of Matt Connerton
Unleashed and we have some musicians here in

516
00:53:14,159 --> 00:53:19,119
the studio. We've got three members
the founding members of h Andrew North and

517
00:53:19,199 --> 00:53:21,800
the Rangers. So we've got to
Andrew North here at the news desk.

518
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,320
How are you. I'm great,
good to be here. Yeah, it's

519
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,639
good to meet you welcome. And
uh we got Chip and Dale on the

520
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:32,360
couch. We've got uh and they
are the rhythm section of the band.

521
00:53:32,519 --> 00:53:36,679
Uh. So, now Chip you're
the basis Is that correct? That is

522
00:53:36,679 --> 00:53:38,920
correct? Yes, I should have
known from the shirt and so Dale you're

523
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:43,599
the drummer obviously. Yep. And
who say, do you guys all sing

524
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,360
or who? Or do you do
all the whale sing? Um? We

525
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:51,800
we try to spread lead singing duties
around a little bit. Everybody sings some

526
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,800
harmony parts. I end up doing
a good chunk with the lead singing.

527
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,760
But but we all sing. Okay, yeah, you got uh you got

528
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,679
some love. In the Facebook live
chat while uh, while that last song

529
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:05,119
was on, Miriam Banish was commenting
how much she liked it, and uh,

530
00:54:05,559 --> 00:54:08,119
somebody else said they had a chicken
in the backyard. Oh, Melanie

531
00:54:08,199 --> 00:54:10,400
Lile Liberty from the Great State of
Romash. She says, hey, I

532
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:16,079
got a chicken in the backyard too, very relatable too, Yes, yes,

533
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,039
yes, So Andrew North and the
Rangers is here with us in studio.

534
00:54:21,559 --> 00:54:23,800
You know that when I first uh
started to become aware of you guys,

535
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,639
I had seen um Fredo from Dank
Sinatra. He had. You probably

536
00:54:28,679 --> 00:54:30,880
saw this he had. This was
a while ago. He had posted on

537
00:54:30,159 --> 00:54:34,800
social media something about he was thinking
about sorry in a band called Andrew South

538
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,239
and the Rangers. I still hope
he does. I think that would be

539
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,639
incredible. That would be great,
and you guys could tour together. Know,

540
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,599
I was gonna say, I would
love to be their opening act.

541
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,239
Yeah, there you go, there
you go. Where does the name come

542
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:52,360
from? Hey, well that's that's
a long story. Well we got time

543
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:58,360
Andrew. When when Andrew first met
us, he was doing a solo gig,

544
00:54:58,559 --> 00:55:01,360
is just Andrew of the North.
Oh yeah, we were. We

545
00:55:01,519 --> 00:55:04,719
were still trying to figure out how
to name the rest of the band.

546
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:09,440
And the first gig we were at
at True Brew, which sadly no longer

547
00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:15,639
exists, and conquered um and we
were Andrew of the North and Friends or

548
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:21,039
something. And Andrew introduced us to
the crowd as and this is chip and

549
00:55:21,199 --> 00:55:23,920
this is Dale. Yeah, some
woman out there goes chipping Dale like the

550
00:55:24,039 --> 00:55:29,039
Rescue Rangers. So we're like,
oh, we'll be Andrew of the North

551
00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:32,400
and the Rescue Rangers. Way too
long. That eventually got, you know,

552
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,519
short to Andrew North and the Rangers. But that's where Rangers comes from

553
00:55:36,559 --> 00:55:39,679
because some women screamed out rescue Rangers. Oh okay, okay, that makes

554
00:55:39,679 --> 00:55:44,760
sense. Um, you guys got
a bunch of live albums. I mean

555
00:55:45,159 --> 00:55:47,800
it seems like, um, I
mean you're really are you kind of really

556
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,840
just more focused on being a live
band, because it looks like you've got

557
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,079
a lot of live stuff. We're
geared towards the live show. Every every

558
00:55:54,119 --> 00:55:58,880
show is different. We improvise a
lot, set list is always different.

559
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,519
We try to keep you know,
a lot of new covers, entering rotation,

560
00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:06,239
that kind of stuff. And so
yeah, our our model is to

561
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,880
share as much of that as broadly
as possible. And then the new live

562
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:15,000
album we have Thanks for the Warning, Volume one is sort of a selection

563
00:56:15,039 --> 00:56:16,920
of stuff that we thought was was
really noteworthy from the last year. But

564
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:22,920
we also just we publish everything.
So we record shows on our own and

565
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:27,559
put them up on bandcamp and on
archived out organ things like that, Um,

566
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,280
just to just share it. I
don't think there's any benefit in this

567
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,880
day and age to kind of keeping
that stuff close. I think it's it's

568
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:37,599
nice to put out. Yeah,
I agree. Yeah. I opened the

569
00:56:37,639 --> 00:56:43,920
show today with Infinity spinning, which
was cool because I usually opened with a

570
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,079
long song, you know, let
people get tuned in and whatnot, and

571
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:50,559
uh yeah, great stuff. Yeah. That's the challenge actually with this album

572
00:56:50,599 --> 00:56:52,719
and promoting this album is every track
on it is like seven or eight minutes

573
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:57,159
long. Yeah, yeah to radio
shows and they're like, yes, a

574
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,719
little long. Yeah yeah, we
don't we don't mind that here, but

575
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,840
we're we're unusual. Yeah, you
got a couple of shorter ones. Looks

576
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,840
like the shortest one on this album
is Thing about the Woods. That's only

577
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:07,920
four and a half minutes. That's
a good radio length. But yeah,

578
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,639
everything else, Yeah, you're right, a lot of sucks. Now.

579
00:57:10,679 --> 00:57:15,719
We are not known for our short
songs. Yeah. Yeah, but when

580
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,199
you when you play live, does
that kind of vary with these songs because

581
00:57:19,239 --> 00:57:21,800
there is some improvisation, I mean, it is a lot of that,

582
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:23,239
just kind of feeling your way through
it. And then yeah, it depends

583
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:27,599
on where things are at on any
given night. We don't buy into the

584
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:32,159
pure jam band model where a song
is gonna go like h to the left

585
00:57:32,239 --> 00:57:36,679
and end up at you know,
eighteen minutes or something. But there's there's

586
00:57:36,679 --> 00:57:39,280
a lot of a lot of padding
built in where you know, if the

587
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,039
vibe on a given night is to
take something and you know, make it

588
00:57:43,079 --> 00:57:45,679
a little weird, or explore something
that we find while we're in the middle

589
00:57:45,679 --> 00:57:50,239
of it, we'll just jump right
into that and go with it. And

590
00:57:51,039 --> 00:57:53,400
so that that puts things on the
longer side because I think we all as

591
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:58,239
players really enjoy having that room to
explore, and I think our audience really

592
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,440
likes it too. Yeah, drives
crazy, So we like to do that.

593
00:58:01,159 --> 00:58:08,320
I appreciate that. Does it drive
interesting adventure? I mean I I

594
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,840
generally like it. I mean,
I love the level of talent in this

595
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,000
band, y is. It's probably
the best most talented band I've ever played

596
00:58:15,039 --> 00:58:17,719
with, oh course, which is
really nice. Cool. So it's a

597
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:22,360
lot of fun playing of these guys. So so it started so the band,

598
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:23,360
as far as it being a band, it started with the three of

599
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:28,079
you. But then there's there's other
but you have other musicians who play with

600
00:58:28,119 --> 00:58:30,840
you, right, Yeah, we're
six piece, Okay, six piece?

601
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,559
So yeah, because I saw a
couple of different pictures and I think,

602
00:58:34,639 --> 00:58:36,800
yeah, I think the most reason
why I had seen there were six of

603
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:38,159
you. Okay, so who else
is there who's not here with us.

604
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,639
And by the way, I feel
free to make up any crazy stories about

605
00:58:40,639 --> 00:58:44,119
why they're not here because because we
enjoy that, have fun with it.

606
00:58:44,199 --> 00:58:49,760
If you want to, it's up
to you. So I think the first

607
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,559
the first to bring up is Rob
the Mysterious Stranger O'Brien, who is um

608
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:59,639
a saxophone player by trade, but
he also plays You may have seen pictures

609
00:58:59,679 --> 00:59:04,039
of it, like silver sci fi
looking thing. Yeah, it's called an

610
00:59:04,079 --> 00:59:08,559
aerophone, okay, and um it's
been a real education for me as to

611
00:59:08,719 --> 00:59:14,000
how win synths work. And so
it took us a little while because he

612
00:59:14,039 --> 00:59:16,159
would come in and like play a
clarinet sound or something and be like,

613
00:59:16,239 --> 00:59:20,719
it kind of sounds like a clarinet, but not quite and it like when

614
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,679
when we were were first exploring that
turf, I was like, I don't

615
00:59:22,719 --> 00:59:25,880
know if this is cool or not, and then it's sort of overtime has

616
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:30,239
become the coolest thing ever because it's
on stage and everyone's like, I have

617
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:31,639
never seen one of those before,
I have no idea what it is.

618
00:59:32,119 --> 00:59:36,880
And we don't have a guitarist in
our band, and so we actually have

619
00:59:37,079 --> 00:59:40,880
him rip electric guitar solos on that
thing. Wow, um, yeah,

620
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:46,159
it's unique. Yeah. There's always
one person at the show who will come

621
00:59:46,239 --> 00:59:49,360
up, you know, like either
during a separaker at the end and say,

622
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,920
what is that thing? Oh I
can imagine? Yeah yeah, well

623
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:53,840
that's cool too because it gives you, i mean, you know, to

624
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:58,679
be able to really stand out and
have something that nobody else has and nobody

625
00:59:58,719 --> 01:00:00,400
else does. I mean, that's
that's awesome. Well, and Rob just

626
01:00:00,519 --> 01:00:04,280
keeps getting better and better with it
as far as the sounds he finds and

627
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:09,039
the spots he finds to fit in
where it's he has, you know,

628
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:15,360
just the these unbelievable, like weird
synthesizer sounds that are almost like sounds like

629
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:19,840
it's through a bunch of effects pedals, and oh wow, it's super cool.

630
01:00:20,119 --> 01:00:23,440
Yeah, you'll hear it on on
our songs. And now that you've

631
01:00:23,559 --> 01:00:27,159
now that we've said erphone, you'll
start to listen and go, yeah,

632
01:00:27,239 --> 01:00:30,559
oh maybe that's that thing. Yeah
yeah, yeah, oh that's cool.

633
01:00:30,679 --> 01:00:34,719
Yeah you said and you you call
them the mis was it the mysterious serious

634
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:39,280
stranger? I have to sounds like
there's a story there, We have a

635
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:45,639
concrete story. You know. He's
sort of ever evolving between uh different uh

636
01:00:46,119 --> 01:00:51,639
stage attire that he chooses, the
different times that he does or doesn't show

637
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,400
up for a show. Um,
I mean initially when we got started,

638
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,519
I think it was more the fact
that he was not able to make practice

639
01:00:59,519 --> 01:01:01,119
a lot of the time because his
job took him away. Yeah, and

640
01:01:01,239 --> 01:01:05,239
so whenever he showed up, he
was the sort of stranger who kind of

641
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,800
just popped in and everything. Yeah. Yeah. It would usually just roll

642
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,559
into a show without practicing at all, and we would, you know,

643
01:01:10,639 --> 01:01:14,000
maybe send him some stuff from practice, but like, here's what we're working

644
01:01:14,079 --> 01:01:15,960
on. Yeah, you show up
and just slay at the show. He'd

645
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:20,840
be like, okay, cool,
Like we don't know who that guy came

646
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,639
out on stage and I did his
thing with his sci fi toaster. Yeah

647
01:01:25,239 --> 01:01:30,000
that's great. And so that that, in varying degrees, has continued.

648
01:01:30,039 --> 01:01:32,079
And yes, Rob is like he's
a vibe. Like sometimes he'll show up

649
01:01:32,119 --> 01:01:37,719
dressed like mister Rogers. Sometimes he'll
show up dressed like like, I wouldn't

650
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,159
be surprised if he showed up in
like shorts and an open leather jacket with

651
01:01:40,239 --> 01:01:45,119
no shirt on underneath. Yeah that
kind of thing. Yeah, Oh that's

652
01:01:45,199 --> 01:01:49,159
cool. All right. So there's
Rob and then uh and then who else?

653
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,880
And then Jillian Rourke, who plays
uh baritone saxophone, and she,

654
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,800
like most of us in the band, is a recovering grown up. Um

655
01:01:59,079 --> 01:02:04,000
yeah, okay us what two years
ago now, just yeah, a little

656
01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:07,280
less than two years ago. She
met Rob at a Fourth of July party

657
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:15,199
and she is a pediatric dermatologist.
Um, and Rob was talking about our

658
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,760
band and you know, playing music, and she was like, well,

659
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,760
I used to play baritone saxophone a
long time ago and I'm dying to do

660
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,239
something with it. And so Rob
brought her to band practice and um,

661
01:02:27,119 --> 01:02:31,360
she took that opportunity and ran with
it like I've never seen anybody run with

662
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:37,599
anything before, like just fall in
personality, fed, absolutely perfect and just

663
01:02:38,159 --> 01:02:44,280
brings the best energy that just it. It's um. They contribute so much

664
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:45,639
to what we do and so it's
been amazing to have her on board.

665
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:50,280
Very cool, yeah, very cool. Um. And then we have Randy

666
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:55,840
Honeyman, who plays percussion and he's
in every band and conquered, which is

667
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,360
kind of amazing. And uh we
initial actually we had you know, a

668
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,480
big show at the Bank in New
Hampshire, stage and conquered and we were

669
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,800
looking to sort of pad the sound
and you know, so we brought Randy

670
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:12,400
on for that one gig and he
came to a few practices and we're all

671
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,559
like, wow, we all really
get along really well, and it's really

672
01:03:15,679 --> 01:03:20,159
nice having this extra layer on the
sound. And so he um, you

673
01:03:20,239 --> 01:03:22,559
know, has really quickly gotten up
to speed on learning all of the material

674
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,880
and the way that we operate with
again, you know, improvising or being

675
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,119
ready to like take a song in
a direction you might not have expected it

676
01:03:30,199 --> 01:03:32,639
to go or it has never gone
in practice or at a show before.

677
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:39,400
Yeah, and he's a really good
sport about that as well. Yeah.

678
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,239
Um, so we've ended up with
this group of six people who are all

679
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:49,000
very much on the same page.
We all get along really well, we're

680
01:03:49,039 --> 01:03:52,960
all willing to work really hard at
something um that is a little bit ridiculous

681
01:03:53,039 --> 01:03:58,559
and a lot of fun for us, and UM, I am so grateful

682
01:03:58,599 --> 01:04:00,559
for it. It's such a cool
thing to be a part of. Yeah,

683
01:04:00,599 --> 01:04:03,480
And every every time we get buy
in from more people, it blows

684
01:04:03,519 --> 01:04:08,039
my mind a little bit because it
started as like my weird little thing and

685
01:04:08,119 --> 01:04:10,599
then I have you guys in on
my weird little thing and now we're like

686
01:04:11,159 --> 01:04:14,840
a going concern and yeah it's really
cool. Yeah, that's that's great.

687
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,320
So with a band like this and
this kind of configuration, if like like

688
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,679
you mentioned, Rob isn't necessarily he
can't necessarily make it to every show.

689
01:04:23,039 --> 01:04:26,519
So is that kind of doing the
kind of music that you're doing and with

690
01:04:26,679 --> 01:04:30,880
the ability to kind of improvise,
does that make it easier to kind of

691
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,920
adapt to situations like that. I've
always wondered, because you know, I'm

692
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,199
a musician. I've played in a
bunch of bands, but I've never played

693
01:04:36,239 --> 01:04:40,360
in anything where you know, you
kind of had that flexibility. Maybe if

694
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:44,519
somebody isn't there, that's okay,
you can kind of work around it and

695
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,119
still have it be really good.
Is that kind of the situation with Yeah,

696
01:04:47,159 --> 01:04:50,960
we do that all the time.
Yeah, being we're eighty percent original,

697
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:55,719
Yeah yeah, so doing that,
we can show up with anything from

698
01:04:55,760 --> 01:05:00,719
a trio to any of the combination
of qual odds to the full band and

699
01:05:01,159 --> 01:05:04,360
put on a good show. Yeah. Yeah. Chip and I are the

700
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:09,159
only people who've played in every anter
North in the Rangers show. Yeah,

701
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,599
okay, I missed one. Oh, really. Uh yeah in five years

702
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:15,519
was it was the other guy won't
let me forget. It was the other

703
01:05:15,559 --> 01:05:21,239
guy who does percussion. I forgot. We go, yeah there you go.

704
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:25,159
Yeah yeah, very cool. What
about on the on the live releases,

705
01:05:25,199 --> 01:05:29,199
I assume that's the full full,
that's everybody on the UM. Some

706
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,719
of those live releases on band camp
are but again by nature of publishing as

707
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:36,159
much as we can, some of
those are are different configurations than we've had.

708
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,519
Um. You know, we had
a night recently where we couldn't have

709
01:05:39,719 --> 01:05:42,920
either SAX player. They weren't available, so we called in, Uh do

710
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,280
you know I'm at the SAX.
I don't think so. Um he plays

711
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:49,360
with um super nothing. He's a
great tax player. I think he's going

712
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:55,199
to be playing the national anthem at
m the oh yeahs game coming up soon.

713
01:05:55,239 --> 01:05:57,400
I can't remember which one, but
okay, I think the fourth of

714
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,440
July weekend. Yeah. Yeah.
He's an amazing player. And he for

715
01:06:00,719 --> 01:06:03,320
years he'd come up to me be
like, I want to play a gig

716
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,880
with you guys. Sometime I was
like, here's your gig. So he

717
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,039
came like on extremely short notice and
played the gig with us and and killed

718
01:06:11,079 --> 01:06:14,440
it um and again, by nature
of having a lot of improvisation, there's

719
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,280
a lot of room to just you
know, here's where we're at tonight,

720
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:23,119
here's what we've got, and let's
you know, do do something interesting with

721
01:06:23,199 --> 01:06:26,599
it. Yeah. Yeah, It's
really a fun place to be as a

722
01:06:26,679 --> 01:06:29,119
musician to have the opportunity to do
that. Oh yeah, yeah, so

723
01:06:29,199 --> 01:06:31,480
you guys probably sometimes you'll fill a
whole night. I would imagine, right,

724
01:06:31,559 --> 01:06:34,400
like, do you could do like
three hours or something? If oh

725
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:39,360
yeah, I mean we can,
we can do seven hours seriously. Yeah.

726
01:06:39,599 --> 01:06:41,800
Yeah. We got a couple of
gigs coming up back to back where

727
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,400
we're gonna do two nights in a
row. Yeah, no repeats, Oh

728
01:06:44,559 --> 01:06:47,760
no kidding. Wow, Wow,
that's cool. Yeah yeah, that's kind

729
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,159
of been a goal. I mean, I've been in bands all over the

730
01:06:50,239 --> 01:06:57,239
country, and I've never had a
band in the what forty something years that

731
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,920
I've been playing that could ever do
that. Yeah, this is a it's

732
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,440
a fun milestone for me. Yeah. Whoa, we'll play two nights and

733
01:07:02,519 --> 01:07:08,320
not repeat. That's very cool.
That's very cool. And you said it's

734
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:14,119
like eight percent originals. Yeah,
yeah, we um we add as many

735
01:07:14,199 --> 01:07:17,360
covers as we can. Those tend
to get second place priority in practice part

736
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:21,159
because of working on original stuff is
really fun. Yeah, so we we

737
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:25,079
tend to be a little more motivated
towards that. And then the covers were

738
01:07:25,119 --> 01:07:29,320
always working on sort of a cover
that will visit over the course of practice

739
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,119
until it's where it needs to be
to play out, um, and so

740
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,119
that that, like those keep accumulating, but the original stuff tends to be

741
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:41,280
where we're motivated to move things along
faster, So we're always picking up new

742
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:46,480
songs. What kind of covers do
you do all anything? I think our

743
01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:53,719
main like, uh influence for covers
would be like the Cure and Warren Zevon,

744
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:58,239
Ben Folds. Uh, we're all
fans of those types of bandage.

745
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,199
Yeah yeah, but we also do
you know, some jazz stuff like you

746
01:08:00,239 --> 01:08:03,880
know John Scofield tunes off of the
Go Go, Yeah, things like that,

747
01:08:04,039 --> 01:08:08,039
So we try to cover some good
range. I mean that you know,

748
01:08:08,079 --> 01:08:10,599
playing Scofield isn't really going to get
you a lot of crowd buy in,

749
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:14,159
but yeah, I would. I
would imagine there's probably something that you

750
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,199
do that the crowd doesn't necessarily even
realize that they're covers, right, Yeah,

751
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:23,239
it's nice to have a few of
those, um, like you know,

752
01:08:23,359 --> 01:08:27,600
and uh, I'm a big fishhead
and we do Wolfman's Brother and like,

753
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,399
so for a certain set of people, they're like, oh I know

754
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:32,000
that, you know you Okay,
I got it. But like a lot

755
01:08:32,039 --> 01:08:35,399
of people are just like, oh
I like that song. Yeah. So

756
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:41,039
you know, sometimes you're you're visiting
like little camps of music fans with the

757
01:08:41,079 --> 01:08:44,199
way you choose covers. Yeah,
and then you know, we also have

758
01:08:44,279 --> 01:08:45,520
a few that are like right down
the middle, like we do you know,

759
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:50,800
call me out? Really, you
know everybody knows them of that song

760
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,560
to be Yeah, just too whatever. Yeah, we've got a weird alt

761
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:59,479
tune on our Oh I have to
know what what song? Oh? Really,

762
01:09:01,079 --> 01:09:04,720
it's almost a two for one cover
because you get the Kinks fans.

763
01:09:06,119 --> 01:09:11,479
That's true, that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have we

764
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,720
have Andrew North and the Rangers here
with us in studio. But we can

765
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,359
play another another song? Should we
do something from Thanks for the Warning?

766
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,239
Volume one? This is the newest
one, right, the newest album?

767
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:27,399
Yeah? Absolutely, um what should
I'll let you pick? But I'm kind

768
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,239
of curious to hear something where Okay, So Rob's what's the name of the

769
01:09:30,279 --> 01:09:34,039
instrument again? It's an aerophone.
Is there a particular song where the aerophone

770
01:09:34,079 --> 01:09:36,640
really stands out? Because now I
want to hear something where it's prominent and

771
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:47,039
I can listen for it. Yeah. Uh, I see a song called

772
01:09:47,079 --> 01:09:50,720
epiphone, but I don't see one
called aerophone. Yeah. It's a very

773
01:09:51,319 --> 01:09:55,720
straight up saxophone type song, is
it. Yeah, I Want to Be

774
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,479
a Ranger's real long. But that
has a lot of cynthy stuff from the

775
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,640
aerophone on it. Yeah. Uh, yeah, we have time we can

776
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,840
play that one. Cool. Yeah, well all right, let's let's do

777
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,399
that, all right. So this
is I Want to Be a Ranger.

778
01:10:09,039 --> 01:10:13,159
This is from Andrew North and the
Rangers. The album is called Oh by

779
01:10:13,159 --> 01:10:15,800
the way, why is it?
Why is it called Thanks for the Warning?

780
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:21,800
Volume one? We're still figuring that
out. The Thanks as a reference

781
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:28,239
to, um, we got a
wonderful right up from Matt Whithouse at the

782
01:10:28,319 --> 01:10:32,000
Hippo Yeah for the studio album we
did and he likened it too. It

783
01:10:32,159 --> 01:10:39,640
was like Frank Zappa meets Chicago Transit
Authority slash something else. What was the

784
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:44,319
third one? Do you remember?
Yeah? But anyways, those two are

785
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,079
enough to give you the gist of
like what he mentioned, and we were

786
01:10:46,119 --> 01:10:48,119
like, oh, that's amazing,
Like we're really proud of that. We

787
01:10:48,239 --> 01:10:51,319
made a Facebook post, you know, with that quote pulled out, and

788
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:56,039
like the first comment immediately with somebody
who's like, thanks for the warning.

789
01:10:56,279 --> 01:11:00,840
Oh really. I was like I
could see that. That's funny. But

790
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:02,680
we'll run. We'll run with that
stuff. Yeah, yeah, so that's

791
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,880
bring it on. Yeah, stuck
with us? Yeah yeah, that's cool.

792
01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:09,720

01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:47,640

795
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:53,600
me. That's okay. We still

812
01:19:35,359 --> 01:19:40,399
they are with us in studio.
That is from the album Thanks for the

813
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:45,079
warning. Volume one Live in twenty
twenty two. Do you guys, um,

814
01:19:45,359 --> 01:19:47,960
Are you guys recording anything this year
as far as live live albums are

815
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:50,880
U. We're gonna sort of see
what we end up with at the end

816
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:55,439
of the year. We always get
as high quality recordings as we can for

817
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:59,920
everything we play and then we can
sort of assess at the end of the

818
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,319
the year what we've got and what
we want to share as far as at

819
01:20:02,399 --> 01:20:06,119
a level of you know, getting
it properly mixed and mastered and putting it

820
01:20:06,199 --> 01:20:10,640
out as a compilation album like this. Yeah. So I don't know what

821
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,359
we're gonna end up with it for
this year. I hope we end up

822
01:20:13,399 --> 01:20:15,439
with something that we can do a
volume two, yeah, for twenty three,

823
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,119
but that is yet to be determined. Yeah, keep threatening to work

824
01:20:19,199 --> 01:20:25,079
on a new studio album, which
we need to get going on. Yeah,

825
01:20:25,279 --> 01:20:29,079
yeah, no, that's uh.
Yeah, we did play um I

826
01:20:29,239 --> 01:20:31,199
played earlier in the show one of
the studio tracks there. Well yeah,

827
01:20:31,279 --> 01:20:38,000
from Phosphorus. I can't say that
word. Phosphores and Snackum. Is that

828
01:20:38,119 --> 01:20:42,000
the only studio album so far?
Everything else is live Yep, that's what

829
01:20:42,079 --> 01:20:44,760
we've got so far. Okay,
okay, cool cool. If you're just

830
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,640
joining us, we do have Andrew
North and the Rangers here or half the

831
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,159
band, the founding members here in
studio with us. We have, of

832
01:20:50,239 --> 01:20:55,520
course Andrew North and uh Chip and
Dale or with us? What is the

833
01:20:56,079 --> 01:21:00,960
what is the songwriting process like?
Because and again I've never played in a

834
01:21:00,039 --> 01:21:03,199
band where there's you know, some
improvisation and whatnot. I mean when when

835
01:21:03,239 --> 01:21:06,520
you guys, well who writes the
song? Do you guys write together or

836
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:13,159
do do you come up with individual
ideas or We've worked just about every possible

837
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,199
way that you can approach that,
and we're always open to approaching it whatever

838
01:21:17,319 --> 01:21:21,479
way is gonna work in any particular
time. So there's a little bit of

839
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:27,079
improvisation of that aspect too. Yeah, I just write a lot by nature,

840
01:21:27,199 --> 01:21:30,920
So I bring a lot of stuff
to the band and at the level

841
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,800
of all right, here's how I
play it by myself on piano and sort

842
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:40,119
of what I'm going for, and
then everybody else in the band takes that

843
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:44,520
and runs with it and we end
up where we end up. So I'll

844
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:46,840
never come in and be like and
the bass part should go right right like

845
01:21:47,199 --> 01:21:50,079
you know. Mostly I'll come with
it and be like, all right,

846
01:21:50,119 --> 01:21:54,079
here's what I've got as far as
you know, words and chord changes,

847
01:21:54,159 --> 01:21:58,920
and usually it's in a state where
it's going to end up fairly close to

848
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:03,319
where I started from, not always, And that's been a really rewarding process.

849
01:22:03,399 --> 01:22:08,600
It's really good practice for me letting
go of being a control freak about

850
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:13,520
some of that. It's great practice. We also do write as a group,

851
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,359
as some of our favorite stuff has
been stuff that we all wrote together,

852
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:20,039
like Mary's Chicken, Thy Money was
this weird shamble process of things that

853
01:22:20,279 --> 01:22:25,279
came out of band practice, inside
jokes and then we're all of a sudden

854
01:22:25,319 --> 01:22:30,600
it turns into a song. Yea. And Chip writes as well, I'm

855
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:38,159
always hoping that everyone else will write
Dale, I'm still waiting for your songs.

856
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:44,600
Our policy is to always have sort
of a yes policy, Like when

857
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,439
people bring songs or covers they want
to do or things like that, it's

858
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,359
always like, yes, we'll try
it. It may not stick, and

859
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,840
it may be something we try and
we're like, yeah, that didn't really

860
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:57,600
get to where we wanted it to
be. But we're always willing to try

861
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:00,000
things. And I think that's really
important in a band to give everybody space

862
01:23:00,079 --> 01:23:04,199
to express themselves and to use,
you know, to have it be the

863
01:23:04,279 --> 01:23:08,000
same creative outlet that I'm lucky enough
to have it be where I'm like,

864
01:23:08,279 --> 01:23:10,199
you know, I wrote a bunch
of songs and here they are and now

865
01:23:10,239 --> 01:23:12,840
we play them all and to me, that's the coolest thing ever, and

866
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,359
I hope that the band can serve
that function for everybody. Right right,

867
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,920
we have a call somebody wants to
talk to Yeah, Hey, this is

868
01:23:19,039 --> 01:23:24,399
Rob. This and that kind of
plays that phone. Rob. I heard

869
01:23:24,399 --> 01:23:28,479
about you. I heard You're very
mysterious. I tend to be. That's

870
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,439
that's why I'm not there in person. I usually don't show my face unless

871
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:34,640
i'm I'm out a performance in full
costume. But right, I just wanted

872
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:38,640
to thank you since I couldn't be
there personally, for bringing us on the

873
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:42,279
show and you know, sharing our
music with the area. Oh, happy

874
01:23:42,319 --> 01:23:44,199
to do it, Happy to do
it. I really like what you guys

875
01:23:44,239 --> 01:23:48,279
are doing. And uh fascinated to
learn about the aerophone. I'm saying that

876
01:23:48,399 --> 01:23:51,600
right. You know you can search
for it online. You know it's it's

877
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:58,239
gonna needed some sketchy like North Korean
website, but through all of the spam

878
01:23:58,399 --> 01:24:01,399
filters you'll find some document imentation on
it. I guess is that Wait,

879
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:04,279
is that how you bought your aerophone? You bought it from North Korea?

880
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:11,239
Is that even legal? I thought
it was legal if you're king North Korea?

881
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,199
Right right? I understand, So
you went to North Korea to gain

882
01:24:14,279 --> 01:24:15,399
I mean, you know, you're
mysterious, so you can make up whatever

883
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:17,800
story about it you want. So
you went to North Korea to get the

884
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:24,159
aerophone? Is that correct? It's
actually it's a it's a rolling product.

885
01:24:24,239 --> 01:24:27,600
It's it's really fun. It's it's
what kind of got me re energized back

886
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,880
into music after I found these guys. Oh no, kidding, my little

887
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,000
toy that keeps things interesting. Yeah, yeah, no, that's very cool.

888
01:24:34,119 --> 01:24:35,880
That's very cool. Yeah, I
don't know if you were listening.

889
01:24:36,079 --> 01:24:39,560
I don't know if you've been listening
from the beginning, but yeah, I

890
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,279
was asking these guys for a song
where you can really kind of hear the

891
01:24:42,319 --> 01:24:45,399
aerophone, and uh yeah, it's
fascinating. I'm gonna have to because obviously

892
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,319
this some live videos too, right
on YouTube. Oh yeah, I'm gonna

893
01:24:48,319 --> 01:24:50,319
have to look up some of those
and watch some of those, and I

894
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:54,640
want to I want to see the
aerophone in action. That's pretty cool.

895
01:24:55,159 --> 01:25:02,399
Oh you'll you'll see some stuff.
I got that impression. Yeah, thanks

896
01:25:02,399 --> 01:25:06,399
again. I'll let you guys continue
listening from Afar. All right, all

897
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,439
right, Rob, thank you for
the call. I appreciate it. But

898
01:25:11,039 --> 01:25:14,720
all right, very good, very
good. So uh, when you when

899
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,880
you write something, uh, and
you you know, you bring it to

900
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:18,720
the band, and you know,
like you said, you don't try to

901
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:24,560
control what everyone does in terms of
their parts. But do you ever find

902
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,640
that what you had in mind or
how you heard it in your head,

903
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,920
what it comes out as ends up
being just wildly different from what you had

904
01:25:31,039 --> 01:25:36,479
envisioned. Uh. Always and to
a matter of degree, it always ends

905
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:41,079
up different from where I thought it
might have been going. Yeah, and

906
01:25:41,239 --> 01:25:45,479
sometimes it does end up extremely different. Um. And I find that's a

907
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:49,439
big part of the fun and really
a rewarding process. Uh. And that's

908
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:53,640
like I used to have a really
hard time with that with bands, where

909
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:57,199
I would read something and I would
be very committed to what I thought the

910
01:25:57,279 --> 01:26:00,720
song should be like and everybody,
you know, you you've been in bands,

911
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:01,840
you know the nature. Everybody brings
what they bring to it, and

912
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:06,079
you sort of find navigate to where
it's going to. And it took me

913
01:26:06,159 --> 01:26:11,239
a while to appreciate that process.
And you know, especially with this band,

914
01:26:11,279 --> 01:26:15,119
the results are consistently so good that
I really trust that process a lot

915
01:26:15,199 --> 01:26:18,199
more than I have in the past, or in past bands where it's like

916
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:26,600
you know I, and sometimes it
is it takes a few weeks for somebody

917
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,560
to really dial in the part and
you have to trust you're like, all

918
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,600
right, I hear sort of what
you're going for, and even though it's

919
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,560
not there yet, we'll keep working
on it, and I know what's going

920
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:39,680
to get there. And that is
really cool to watch every you know,

921
01:26:40,239 --> 01:26:44,279
as Chip was saying that we're so
lucky to have this just a phenomenal group

922
01:26:44,319 --> 01:26:46,560
of musicians, and watching everybody sort
of work things out in real time and

923
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:50,039
challenge themselves and get better, I
think it's a big part of what keeps

924
01:26:50,119 --> 01:26:56,600
us all energized as a band and
keeps making those songs better. And that's

925
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:00,680
another thing is that we're never officially
done with a song. Songs are always

926
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:04,399
sort of open to revision. So
if you know, we can have a

927
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:08,359
song that we've been playing for two
or three years and in practice we're like,

928
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,880
you know, let's try this or
you know, change this around about

929
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:17,319
it. And that's also sort of
a fun process and a nice way to

930
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:24,640
let songs move along with us as
a band. Yeah, because I personally,

931
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:28,960
I get really bored playing stuff that's
one on the rails exactly the same

932
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,880
every time, and here's the fill
right after the first first. It's always

933
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,760
the exact same notes. And that's
not how my brain works. So I'm

934
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:40,680
really glad I've found a group of
other musicians who are willing to put up

935
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:44,640
with that. We're all off the
rails too. There you go. Well,

936
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:46,600
it's like we were talking off air
while that song was playing. I

937
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,960
want to be a ranger. You
guys were talking about how there's multiple different

938
01:27:50,119 --> 01:27:56,399
there's what three different possible endings for
that song, right, and and it

939
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:01,119
kind of depends on that happens once
a show Sirens every every day. I

940
01:28:01,359 --> 01:28:03,399
never know when in the show it's
going to happen, but it happens.

941
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:11,439
Looking forward to it, yeah yeah, yes, yes, but uh yeah,

942
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,760
I mean that I would imagine that
helps, you know, kind of

943
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:15,319
keep it fresh and exciting when it's
you know, when the songs kind of

944
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:20,279
change and evolve over time and um
are there are there a lot of UM

945
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:25,520
songs that go back to when you
like, pre band, pre meeting these

946
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:31,399
guys. While one a couple of
those tunes go way way back epiphone on

947
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:36,039
the on the on the album goes
back to uh I will say two thousand

948
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:41,640
four or five, And I actually
didn't write that when a band made of

949
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:45,640
Mind named Jeff Rhodes as a guitarist
wrote that one, and I always liked

950
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,760
it so much that we've kept it
going, you know, almost twenty years

951
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:54,119
later now, which is crazy.
Yeah. And then Electrostatic Chills, which

952
01:28:54,279 --> 01:28:57,720
tends to be the song that we
put at the end of every show.

953
01:28:58,039 --> 01:29:00,159
But again, we improvise a lot, but we also play the same song

954
01:29:00,199 --> 01:29:04,199
at the end of every show.
I'm not sure exactly why, but it's

955
01:29:04,239 --> 01:29:09,840
fun. And I wrote that one. That was a really early one when

956
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:14,560
in college I would go down to
like the basement in the music department and

957
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,159
just like hang out of the piano
rum, just noodling around for hours at

958
01:29:17,199 --> 01:29:20,600
a time because I didn't know what
else to do with my time, and

959
01:29:21,239 --> 01:29:26,560
I was starting to write. And
I wrote that song in that in that

960
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,399
stretch, which was almost twenty years
ago that it might have been oh three

961
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:32,560
or all four, and it's it's
really cool to let a song like that

962
01:29:33,039 --> 01:29:35,359
keep going. I played that in
my college band, in my band for

963
01:29:35,399 --> 01:29:39,840
a couple of years after college,
and so to be able to still be

964
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,520
doing it and to have added so
much to it in that you know,

965
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:45,520
we have new vocal parts that we've
worked up over time, and having saxophone

966
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:49,359
parts that are really specific in it, and there's sort of little things that

967
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:53,920
line up with the lyrics that have
evolved over time. Is really cool to

968
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:59,199
have sort of a song that is
almost old enough to drink keep getting stuff

969
01:29:59,199 --> 01:30:02,279
added to it, right right,
yeah, yeah, And we were also,

970
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:06,640
I think this was just off air
we were talking, but it's interesting

971
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:11,000
to me Dale, you were saying
that, um, uh live you're playing

972
01:30:11,079 --> 01:30:15,920
electronic drums and uh, it's it's
remarkable how good they sound like. And

973
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,479
I haven't asked you. At one
point during that during that song, I

974
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:21,560
said, so this is all electronic, but that's that's pretty amazing. Yeah.

975
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:25,960
It's funny because people a lot of
times we'll play in front of audience

976
01:30:26,039 --> 01:30:30,359
where we've got um audience members that
have not seen us play yet. Yeah,

977
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:32,640
and I can see on their face, especially if they're old school or

978
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:38,479
if they're drummers, they'll look and
go yeah, yeah, electronic set.

979
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,319
Then by the end of the first
set, they're coming up to me like,

980
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,720
oh my, I cannot believe that's
an electronic set, you know,

981
01:30:45,039 --> 01:30:48,760
And then I'm explaining about all the
new Roland technology and they're just so into

982
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:55,319
it because it's it's amazing how the
oh yeah technology sounds Roland since dal check

983
01:30:55,399 --> 01:31:00,399
every month they do. One of
the great things about an elect our drum

984
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:03,399
kit is that you can actually pick
different sounds for different songs, yeah,

985
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:08,199
which is one of the you know, it's a lot of different variety there.

986
01:31:08,359 --> 01:31:11,760
The other awesome thing about it is
we can control our own sound level

987
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:17,159
from stage, so we can play
indoor in breweries or small venues. Everything

988
01:31:17,239 --> 01:31:20,479
goes through the board, no amps
on stage, because that's usually dictated by

989
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:25,800
how low the drummer is. Yeah, and so we're literally mixing everything through

990
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:29,920
the monitors first and then out to
the mains and whatever level the venue wants

991
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:32,560
we can do. We get a
lot of compliments. Oh we can listen

992
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,359
to you guys and still talk.
This is awesome, right right, Yeah,

993
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:40,359
No, that's very cool. Um
Chips as the bass player, where

994
01:31:40,399 --> 01:31:45,039
you skeptical at all at first with
with about the electronic drums or well,

995
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:47,560
um it was a little bit getting
used to because I hadn't played with anybody

996
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:51,359
who had played electronic drums before.
Although yeah, I mean Dale and I

997
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:56,319
had played together some at one of
the open mics Up and Conquered before we

998
01:31:56,359 --> 01:32:00,199
actually ended up in this band together. Okay, So I mean I knew,

999
01:32:00,199 --> 01:32:01,720
I knew we was talented. I
knew you know, we got we

1000
01:32:02,319 --> 01:32:06,319
clicked very well. Yeah, and
so it was interesting singing that and yeah,

1001
01:32:06,359 --> 01:32:09,119
I mean I got used to it
pretty quickly. It was fine.

1002
01:32:09,199 --> 01:32:11,439
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool, a lot of fun. Yeah,

1003
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,399
no, it is amazing how far
the technology has come. Um, what

1004
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:19,119
is the gigging schedule? Like are
you are you guys you play out a

1005
01:32:19,159 --> 01:32:25,399
lot pretty consistently or yeah we got
um as Dale said, we got back

1006
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,680
to backs coming up next week on
Thursday and Friday. So Thursday, the

1007
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:31,800
twenty second, we're at Panucci's Up
and Conquered. It's gonna be a really

1008
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:35,760
fun show. And then on the
twenty third on the Friday, it's the

1009
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,600
Market Day's Festival and Conquered this week, which is um, you know,

1010
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:45,319
kind of a festival of everything.
Oh yeah yeah, and it's it is

1011
01:32:45,399 --> 01:32:48,760
like the Conquered music scenes time to
shine. So we always really look forward

1012
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:54,640
to it. And if folks don't
know the Bicentennial Square stage by the coffee

1013
01:32:54,640 --> 01:33:00,239
shop there, Uh, Brothers Quartado. That stage in there is like like

1014
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:04,359
New Hampshire band Central and you can
just post up and hang out there all

1015
01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:08,600

1016
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:13,119
Friday, UM at six thirty,
which we're really looking forward to. We

1017
01:33:13,279 --> 01:33:15,560
did that last year on the Saturday
and night and it was it was such

1018
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:20,720
a good time. Yeah. And
then let's see the week two weeks after

1019
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:26,399
that on Saturday July first, we're
a feathered Friend and conquered and is that

1020
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:29,520
one week? Okay, I can't
tell times? Is that new Feathered Friend?

1021
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:30,920
Feathered Friend? They're pretty new.
They've they've been around for a little

1022
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:35,920
more in a year. But in
that time they've gone from like little startup

1023
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:41,000
brewery to like, all right now, we took over the back parking lot

1024
01:33:41,079 --> 01:33:43,880
and we're gonna have music back there, even though there's no shade and it's

1025
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,560
a million degrees whatever. To they've
built this crazy stage and patio set up

1026
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:54,159
in like like sound system. It's
really cool and um and even we played

1027
01:33:54,199 --> 01:33:57,279
there a couple of times last year
and this year they've upped their game.

1028
01:33:57,359 --> 01:34:00,960
Really. I've seen a couple of
shows there and it's um really stick to

1029
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,960
get back there. They're really committed
to doing like a live music thing there.

1030
01:34:03,239 --> 01:34:06,760
Yeah. Um, and their beer
is really good too, so UM

1031
01:34:08,359 --> 01:34:11,520
recommend stop and buy that one.
Um. We're in Conquered. Is that

1032
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:14,840
it's in the in the South End. It's on Top Street okay, kind

1033
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:16,800
of buy Vinie's Pizza. Oh yep. Yeah, and I grew up in

1034
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,359
Conquered, so I know that area. Well, what's the data in the

1035
01:34:19,399 --> 01:34:25,399
Hennecker concert series is at the eleventh
the eleventh, July eleventh, we're playing

1036
01:34:25,439 --> 01:34:31,239
at Hennecker for their summer concert series. Um. And then on UM July

1037
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:38,239
fifteenth, we're playing at Litherman's Limited
and Conquered the Brewery gig um and they

1038
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:43,000
usually put us outside on their patio, which is another um actually surprisingly lovely

1039
01:34:43,079 --> 01:34:47,720
parking lot. Yeah yeah, and
uh so we played there a couple of

1040
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:49,800
times a year as well, and
we always really look forward to it.

1041
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:54,039
So summer tends to be pretty busy
for us. Yeah. Um, we

1042
01:34:54,239 --> 01:34:57,880
have not been able to maintain a
schedule that lets us get too far afield

1043
01:34:58,079 --> 01:35:01,119
right now, you know, we're
always looking for gigs to get out of

1044
01:35:01,399 --> 01:35:04,880
town, but logistically it's really hard
to pull off with six people. So

1045
01:35:05,319 --> 01:35:10,119
yeah, we we've been having a
great time playing Conquered, and because every

1046
01:35:10,119 --> 01:35:13,399
show's different, people keep coming to
see us. Yeah. So it actually

1047
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:15,520
works out pretty well for us to
be able to just play a lot and

1048
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:20,920
have people get to know our music
better and get to know our weird sense

1049
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:25,960
of humor and our inside jokes and
so it kind of builds on itself in

1050
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,479
a really nice way. Yeah.
So it's always the more people we can

1051
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:30,680
bring in, the better. Yeah. Yeah, that's excellent. One other

1052
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,880
thing real quick to mention that we
should do is that every month, first

1053
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:39,199
Wednesday of the month, we actually
host the open mic at Area twenty three

1054
01:35:39,279 --> 01:35:41,560
up and Conquered. Okay, yeah, I mean we'll play a few songs

1055
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:44,159
ourselves, but will also back up
of the musicians if they ask us to.

1056
01:35:45,319 --> 01:35:48,680
Nice and that open mic thing has
really become a thing. Like when

1057
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:53,039
we first talk to Area twenty three
about doing that once a month, I

1058
01:35:53,119 --> 01:35:56,119
figured it would be you know,
pretty casual, open mic, pretty chill.

1059
01:35:56,239 --> 01:36:00,199
We you know, we we'd get
through the list of singer songwriter our

1060
01:36:00,199 --> 01:36:01,359
folks and then we would have you
know, a couple hours at the end

1061
01:36:01,399 --> 01:36:05,560
to just basically have an open band
practice. Yeah, and it very quickly

1062
01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:12,479
ramped up to people found out we
were hosting, and now in Conquered there's

1063
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:15,119
like one hundred and ten people out
on a Wednesday night and they're there from

1064
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,800
you know, six thirty pm to
like ten thirty pm. Yeah, and

1065
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:23,560
people don't go out and Conquered,
So it really like blows my mind,

1066
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,640
right, Like we get that every
month and it's so cool. And it's

1067
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:30,039
a really like fun and positive community
that's grown up in that. So it's

1068
01:36:30,039 --> 01:36:33,960
super cool. And now we're getting
full bands that want to come and debut

1069
01:36:34,199 --> 01:36:39,279
that have never played in fun of
people before our host night. Yeah.

1070
01:36:39,359 --> 01:36:42,520
Yeah, it's just become a really
cool things. For some reason, it's

1071
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:45,119
worth their time to try. Like
we had a guy drive from Maine last

1072
01:36:45,199 --> 01:36:48,319
time to play with his band there
and we're like we're like, I know,

1073
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:51,760
I know it sucks, but you
get three songs, Yeah, that's

1074
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:57,000
it. Yeah, and like they
they're all super stoked on it. Wow,

1075
01:36:57,319 --> 01:36:59,880
it's really cool. And I learned
about a ton of bands and musicians

1076
01:37:00,239 --> 01:37:03,920
through that and seeing people come out
of the woodwork and just blow my mind

1077
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:08,319
with how talented they are. Is
yeah, amazing. Yeah, Area twenty

1078
01:37:08,399 --> 01:37:13,119
three seems to have really caught on. Kirk was on my show. Not

1079
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:15,199
he's never been on this iteration of
the show. He was on the old

1080
01:37:15,319 --> 01:37:17,880
version of the show that I had
when I did the TV show. But

1081
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:23,359
yeah, it seems like they're really
thriving. Just good to see. Yeah,

1082
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:26,640
good to see, and you know, and it allows local music to

1083
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,520
thrive, and uh, you know
that's that's fantastic. So yeah, so

1084
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:34,399
you guys. Uh and then at
some point, I can't remember if we

1085
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:38,680
talked about this on air or off
Area at some point you might do another

1086
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:42,800
studio album. Yeah, we were
always working on it. We have more

1087
01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:45,880
songs than we know what to do
with for that context. And what's really

1088
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:50,520
nice is that with the electronic drums
and all that, it's actually really easy

1089
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:55,560
to self record without a lot of
lead or things like that. So we

1090
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:59,279
Phosphorus and Snack. We did you
know, the basic tracking on our own,

1091
01:38:00,359 --> 01:38:02,199
and then got some professional help doing
the mix and master to get it

1092
01:38:02,319 --> 01:38:06,920
you know, where it really needed
to be. But that that kind of

1093
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:13,039
process and again I think it's really
enabled by the electronic drums allows us to

1094
01:38:13,159 --> 01:38:17,079
take the time that we really need
to tinker with things or to to do

1095
01:38:17,159 --> 01:38:20,319
it in our own time, and
to get to a result that we're really

1096
01:38:20,399 --> 01:38:24,920
excited about, which I think,
you know, I've I've recorded studio albums

1097
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:28,880
in studio and that I've paid for
myself and things like that, and that

1098
01:38:29,039 --> 01:38:33,119
feeling of being under the gun,
I don't feel like it's really Sometimes it's

1099
01:38:33,159 --> 01:38:38,399
great for the creative process. Sure, for me personally, I stress too

1100
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:43,239
much and it was not I'm not
happy in that process. So much happier

1101
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,880
being like, all right, let's
try this song and we can play it,

1102
01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:48,680
you know, fifteen times over and
over and over again and sort of

1103
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:53,319
see where we end up with it
and not have to be watching the clock

1104
01:38:53,399 --> 01:38:56,840
or anything. Once we have that
bundled together, then it's much easier to

1105
01:38:56,960 --> 01:39:02,319
take a project that's a discrete side
in scope and you can go to an

1106
01:39:02,399 --> 01:39:05,039
engineer and be like, all right, can you help us, because I'm

1107
01:39:05,119 --> 01:39:10,000
not an audio engineer, can help
us make this sound amazing? Yeah?

1108
01:39:10,279 --> 01:39:12,560
We were lucky to have folks that
can do that. Oh yeah, And

1109
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:15,840
we're fortunate to live in a time
where you have so many different options as

1110
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:19,520
far as recording, and um,
you know, I've I've talked to bands

1111
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:24,239
who you know, they never even
were in in the same room when when

1112
01:39:24,359 --> 01:39:27,239
recording albums, you know, they
would like during the pandemic, you know,

1113
01:39:27,319 --> 01:39:30,079
they would email tracks back and forth, and you know, just just

1114
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,319
it's it's incredible what you can do
now. And you know, and of

1115
01:39:33,359 --> 01:39:36,399
course there's still plenty of great studios
around too where you can go and you

1116
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:41,359
can pay the money and and uh
and spend the time there. But but

1117
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:44,319
you can do a lot on your
own these days. It's uh, it's

1118
01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:46,119
changed a lot from when I was
growing up, or when any of us

1119
01:39:46,159 --> 01:39:48,720
were growing up. Really well,
definitely on some of the songs on Fuss

1120
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:51,520
for Us and Snack, we'd be
doing stuff and then Rob would come in

1121
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:58,039
and he'd record like eight different tracks
for the same song, instruments on his

1122
01:39:58,159 --> 01:40:01,199
erophone, a bit of an orchestra
unto himself. Yeah, yeah, it's

1123
01:40:01,199 --> 01:40:04,920
true mysterious stranger fashion. We just
gave him the tracks, he gave him

1124
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:08,239
back to us and we're like,
oh my god, what did you do

1125
01:40:10,399 --> 01:40:14,279
later? Yeah, yeah, well
it's gonna have options. I guess right,

1126
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:18,119
We're gonna in a in a couple
of moments, we'll we'll start to

1127
01:40:18,159 --> 01:40:23,840
wrap up. We'll play one more
track from your live album. Thanks for

1128
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,359
the one of your live albums,
I should say, thanks for the warning

1129
01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:29,920
volume one. But but before we
begin to wrap up, I want to

1130
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:32,319
make sure that everybody knows where to
find you guys online, so they can

1131
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:36,279
keep up with everything that you're doing, and uh, keep up with shows

1132
01:40:36,359 --> 01:40:40,920
and and uh it sounds like you've
got a busy summer ahead and all of

1133
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,399
it, and of course where to
find your music, so anything you want

1134
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:45,439

m From the studios of w m n

1163
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:35,359
H ninety five point three FM in
downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, you are

1164
01:46:35,439 --> 01:47:15,119
tuned in to the best of Matt
Connerton unleashed. Uh. Speaking of exciting,

1165
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:19,119
I believe our friend EASYG is on
the line. Hello, Hello,

1166
01:47:19,239 --> 01:47:24,479
Hey, Do I dare say that
Kenny Dalman's song um, Season's Changed might

1167
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:30,199
be a world premiere on the radio. It might be. I mean,

1168
01:47:30,239 --> 01:47:33,960
I know it's been on the YouTube
in her her channel. Is that the

1169
01:47:34,159 --> 01:47:36,800
uh? I forget? Now?
Is that the song you had requested for

1170
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:41,439
today? Yeah? Seasons Changed?
I heard yesterday on YouTube. Wow,

1171
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:45,079
it's pretty good. Why wouldn't it
be? You know, why wouldn't it

1172
01:47:45,119 --> 01:47:49,720
be? Yeah? Anyways, yeah, I don't know why, but I

1173
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:57,239
was thinking Scumpy today. Remember that
guy Scumpy? Um, Yes, of

1174
01:47:57,279 --> 01:48:00,279
course, Jeff Scumpy Lorenz. Yeah
he didn't make exactly leave on the best

1175
01:48:00,279 --> 01:48:03,880
things, but hey, the funny
by I remember one time he used to

1176
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:10,319
do a game on Wednesdays, and
yeah, I kind of get into it

1177
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:14,960
when I talk about I talk about
negative stuff on the radio by I don't

1178
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:15,520
know why. I was thinking of
Scumpy. Take we Oh, yeah,

1179
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:19,279
we can bring on one topic number
when he brought Michael Detective Mike to the

1180
01:48:19,399 --> 01:48:24,399
dark Side. I do remember that
he tried to corrupt our friend, Texas

1181
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:28,159
Mike. It was very that was
funny. It was bug into another story

1182
01:48:28,199 --> 01:48:33,319
by saying why bother. It was
both concerning and disconcerting. Yeah, he

1183
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:38,359
was asked to leave. He was
asked to leave. Yes, at the

1184
01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:42,560
Davion, I believe. I think
that's how you pronounced it. Apparently,

1185
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:47,079
yes, deaf con Scumpy's band was
playing there, and uh, Texas Mike.

1186
01:48:47,319 --> 01:48:50,399
Apparently he was supposed to be a
member of the club to enjoy the

1187
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:55,640
festivities, and Scumpy told him to
just lie and say he was a member

1188
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:59,840
or something like that. And I
was a terrible, terrible scandal. And

1189
01:49:00,039 --> 01:49:02,880
then the next time I was and
that was the beginning of turning Texas Mike

1190
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:04,800
to the dark side. I think
the next time I saw him, he

1191
01:49:04,880 --> 01:49:09,720
was wearing a black leather jacket and
smoking a cigarette. I couldn't believe it.

1192
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:14,039
I said, oh, we've lost
him. I never last I heard

1193
01:49:14,119 --> 01:49:20,319
the band that kind of dissolved deaf
Gun, So last time I knew,

1194
01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:25,319
I know, I saw, I
started the six six, I sawed the

1195
01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:29,279
bar down stairs, down the road
of you folks a little bit, and

1196
01:49:29,319 --> 01:49:31,239
I started scumpy there for a couple
of songs. But it really wasn't my

1197
01:49:31,359 --> 01:49:34,159
kind of a cup of tea,
right, not your kind of cup of

1198
01:49:34,279 --> 01:49:38,159
tea, or you could just say
not your cup of tea is? I

1199
01:49:38,199 --> 01:49:42,199
think it is the actual expression.
Right, Wall was really my favorite,

1200
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:45,319
fortunately right. I didn't want to
hear him once, and I did hear

1201
01:49:45,399 --> 01:49:48,920
three songs. Would you kind of
left? Would you say it was your

1202
01:49:49,119 --> 01:49:56,279
least favorite? No, this is
not my not my favorite at all.

1203
01:49:56,720 --> 01:50:00,479
I hope he's not listening with he
is. I told him that. Uh

1204
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:02,560
he said, Oh it's okay,
guy, I appreciate you coming in listening

1205
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:06,319
to my Yeah he uh, he
is listening. He just texted me and

1206
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:12,840
he said he is devastated. Uh
he said, even you and jo anyone,

1207
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:15,359
didn't you go see or heard a
couple of songs from him? Yes

1208
01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:18,560
we did, Oh yes, yes, up and conquered the White Mountains,

1209
01:50:19,079 --> 01:50:23,039
way up, way up, and
conquered. Yes, he texted me.

1210
01:50:23,159 --> 01:50:27,119
He's devastated. He's very sad,
he said. It's uh, it troubles

1211
01:50:27,199 --> 01:50:30,920
him that someone that he looks up
to so much does not enjoy his art.

1212
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:34,359
He's very upset. Yeah, would
you like to listen? Would you

1213
01:50:34,399 --> 01:50:41,039
like to apologize to him? Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess you guess

1214
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:45,880
what kind of apology is that?
Sir? Yeah, I'm sorry. That's

1215
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:49,600
a little better. How about I'm
sorry Scumpy for hurting you. I'm sorry

1216
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:55,319
Scumpy for hurting you. It's weird. Sometimes a name can come out of

1217
01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:58,479
come out you're thinking, you know, you think about somebody, and he's

1218
01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:00,920
like, wow, I remember I
ever thought of guy in a long time.

1219
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:03,760
Uh oh. Tony Petrello in the
chat room says, if a band

1220
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:06,960
is playing at the Davion, you
don't have to be a member to go

1221
01:51:08,079 --> 01:51:13,119
see them, but you do have
to sign in. Uh m hmmmm.

1222
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:16,920
The plot thick and sign him in
Scumby or Mike or I don't know.

1223
01:51:17,399 --> 01:51:24,000
That's the thing. It it's the
whole thing just went awry. Yeah,

1224
01:51:24,159 --> 01:51:30,319
scandalous. What was the Katy Dobbins

a song called when the Seasons Change by

1237
01:52:17,279 --> 01:52:23,800
Katie Dobbins, When Seasons Change.
This is weird. There's one called when

1238
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:28,479
thus Seasons Change, and there's one
called when Seasons Change. But the one

1239
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:32,439
that's when Seasons Change just became available
yesterday, so it must be that one.

1240
01:52:35,239 --> 01:52:39,560
It's I send you the video of
it on your Facebook measures thing.

1241

01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:48,479

01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:06,000
know, it'd be all over.
I'm around the way. Easy. You

1247
01:53:06,079 --> 01:53:13,800
want to know about stock market crashes, COVID nineteen drive bys, celebrity gossip.

1248
01:53:14,199 --> 01:53:24,399
Easy, he's got you entertainment report, staff woes, saint nothing but

1249
01:53:24,560 --> 01:53:28,840
a jeep bank baby back. Are
you ready for stoctor? Let's find out?

1250
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:33,479
Ready, let's go. Yeah,
I'm still here. Are you still

1251
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:41,520
here? Yeah? I didn't you
hear anything? That's strange? That's right?

1252
01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:47,520
Sometimes that Caro robri All is that
problem? Oh? What's on your

1253
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:51,239
own? What do you have for
us? Easy? G I guess the

1254
01:53:51,520 --> 01:53:55,560
the music already played. I guess
I didn't here, right, Apparently you

1255
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:59,439

Right? What this? What'll this go

1256
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:02,279
on? With the details? Oh? Yeah, first thing I dedicated to

1257
01:54:02,479 --> 01:54:08,159
Uh he just passed away yesterday,
the iron cheek the iron cheek guy was

1258
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:12,399
he passed the torch to Hulk Hogan. Well, I don't know well,

1259
01:54:13,039 --> 01:54:15,119
well, yeah, that's an odd
way of footing it. I think usually

1260
01:54:15,239 --> 01:54:18,960
when passed, when you say passed
the torch, it means one top guy

1261
01:54:19,119 --> 01:54:23,760
in the business passing the torch to
the next. But yeah, he was

1262
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:27,560
on the Iran guy to be a
headbyweight champion and by the way, every

1263
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:30,039
for a while. And by the
way, the iron cheek was legit.

1264
01:54:30,239 --> 01:54:35,439
He was not playing an Iranian.
He was Iranian. Oh yeah, yeah,

1265
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:39,880
and always go online. They always
have a somebody passed away. They

1266
01:54:39,880 --> 01:54:43,319
always have the ten bells, so
I found I sent it to you like

1267
01:54:43,359 --> 01:54:46,399
a thirty second video oh of bells
ringing. And they're not gonna do a

1268
01:54:46,439 --> 01:54:50,199
ten bells for him on RAA SmackDown. No, they usually only do the

1269
01:54:50,279 --> 01:54:56,720
ten bells salute for active competitors,
shall we say, right, like Eddie

1270
01:54:56,720 --> 01:55:02,760
Guerrero and Hart Yes, and all
that fun stuff. Yes. On a

1271
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:06,279
more happy note, the auto dedic
game to one of my favorite singers,

1272
01:55:08,039 --> 01:55:11,199
Debbie Gibson's You're gonna write down the
Street from your folks, and I can

1273
01:55:11,279 --> 01:55:14,560
believe you can still get tickets at
the box offers or you can get them

1274
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:16,600
online at Pelisa dot org. Of
course, remember that you gotta pay a

1275
01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:19,319
couple of dollars shipping and handling.
But if you're going down to the ticket

1276
01:55:19,359 --> 01:55:24,319
box right now, you don't pay
no shipping and handling overously. So I

1277
01:55:24,479 --> 01:55:27,880
know there's not only a few left
in the orchestra, and is I think

1278
01:55:28,039 --> 01:55:31,279
about eighty left in the balconies used. The place fits about a little eight

1279
01:55:31,399 --> 01:55:34,000
hundreds, so it's not too bad
luck. Yeah, I heard so.

1280
01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:39,279
I heard Peter White talking about that
on the Morning Show. You can shake

1281
01:55:39,359 --> 01:55:42,640
your low. We can be talking
about Debbie Gibson tonight. I was killing

1282
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:45,520
time. I want to go on. But I I thought though now easy

1283
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:49,319
g as our entertainment reporter, you
can correct me if I was mistaken about

1284
01:55:49,359 --> 01:55:54,279
this. I thought she was at
a certain point, not recently, but

1285
01:55:54,319 --> 01:55:57,840
a while ago. She was no
longer Debbie Gibson, but was going by

1286
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:00,319
Deborah Gibson. Is that no longer? Here the case? Yeah? I

1287
01:56:00,439 --> 01:56:02,439
like to know her. I like
to know her, Debbie Gibson. So

1288
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:10,520
you like to know it? Yes, yes, Debrah Gibson. Yes,

1289
01:56:11,399 --> 01:56:13,560
right by. The show is right
down the street from you, folks at

1290
01:56:13,600 --> 01:56:15,800
seven thirty. I think it's a
two hour show. According to the Morning

1291
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:19,079
Show and doors are six thirty.
Oh take us some pretty reasonable too.

1292
01:56:19,119 --> 01:56:24,359
There are thirty nine dollars for the
forty nine dollars for the vole level,

1293
01:56:24,439 --> 01:56:27,199
and thirty nine dollars to the balcony, so that's not too bad for us.

1294
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:30,640
A good artist like her is someone
opening for her? Does she have

1295
01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:34,840
an opening act? I don't believe
so No. No, arts like that

1296
01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:39,239
doesn't need an opening act, right, I mean she is Debrah Gibson after

1297
01:56:39,359 --> 01:56:44,840
all. Yeah, I started years
ago in the eighties when she was Debbie

1298
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:47,000
Gibson an right, pretty done good, one of the favorite shows I've ever

1299
01:56:47,079 --> 01:56:51,439
seen. Girls there. But so
you actually probably too old to see her,

1300
01:56:51,479 --> 01:56:54,800
but I don't care. I went
to see her. So you actually

1301
01:56:54,880 --> 01:57:00,279
went to see Debbie Gibson back in
the eighties. Oh yeah, friend who

1302
01:57:00,319 --> 01:57:01,319
came with me because I didn't know
how to get to the worst of Centrum.

1303
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:04,039
You know, he's really going with
directions. So I said, hey,

1304
01:57:04,119 --> 01:57:08,119
i'll pay twenty dollars by the a
forty dollars ticket. He said,

1305
01:57:08,239 --> 01:57:10,760
all right, I'll go. He
wasn't really a big fan, but right

1306
01:57:10,880 --> 01:57:15,760
did a favorite for me. Right, So you were Centrum oh many times?

1307
01:57:15,279 --> 01:57:18,600
Uh, not to see Debbie Gibson. Yeah, I've not been there

1308
01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:24,159
to see Debbie Gibson nor Debrah Gibson. Was it uh? Was it just?

1309
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:29,520
Were you the only dudes there are
the couple dudes, but most the

1310
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:32,039
screaming girls. Yeah? Yeah,
it was sold out. I wish he

1311
01:57:32,159 --> 01:57:35,479
was like eighteen. Right. What
was there big hit at the time?

1312
01:57:35,479 --> 01:57:39,000
Do you remember? Was it Shake
Your Love? Yeah? And the one

1313
01:57:39,039 --> 01:57:43,600
I like is only in your dreams, Only in your dreams. Yep,

1314
01:57:45,399 --> 01:57:48,199
ye, they they're ragging me sometimes. There was your favorite show? I

1315
01:57:48,199 --> 01:57:50,760
said, well, I looked back
at all my favorites. I think it

1316
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:55,199
had to be her. Mn't pick
somebody right, all the shows you've been

1317
01:57:55,239 --> 01:57:59,319
to, so your favorite? I
just want I want to get you on record.
