whole loaf, and they are here. We're gonna speak with them in a
moment. This is Matt Connorton unleashed and we are live from the studios of
w m n H ninety five point three FM on Canal Street in Glorious Manchester,
New Hampshire. And of course it is Saturday, April twentieth two,
thy twenty four. Welcome everybody, and we've got them. We've got the
whole band here, the whole loaf. It was too obvious. I had
to say it. Hey guys, thanks, thanks for having thanks for having
us. I assume this is the whole band. I mean, you know,
usually if there's five five people, that's that's the whole I don't think
I've ever interviewed a band. We got some bread crumbs here and there,
but we're the whole loaf. We try to have the whole loaf fun,
not just a few slices, you know, yes, one sandwich, don't
cut it, you know, that's that's right. You gotta do what you
gotta do. Well, let's let's start with you. I'd like to go
around, have you each introduce yourselves and tell us, tell us who you
are, what you do in the band. And I'd like to start with
you because, for one thing, I met you already. Yeah, so
you have an advantage oh god, I didn't realize that. And you're the
bass player, correct, I am the bass player. I'm also a bass
player. We have to stick together. I don't feel that, uh,
I don't feel that we get enough credit for what we do. Absolutely,
and you deserve credit for those baselines. Yeah, Ryan, I'm the bass
player. You know. Charlie's my main guy. And you know, I
take a lot of inspiration from Phil Lesh and Jack Cassidy and kind of bass
players who aren't really bass players. So I try to be emblematic of that
style. Interesting. I want to come back to that afterward. But uh,
and you, sir, yes, Oh, I can't hear you.
I'm sorry, hang on, something's uh why can't I hear you? I
think I know why I can't hear you. I'm still getting used to the
new studio. Yeah, oh I can't. I can't hear you. There
we go. Nice. Hey everyone, this is Charlie Kenny and I bank
stuff professionally and drums on the side the loaf. Very good, yeah,
Charlie, alrighty, welcome Charlie. That's our guy. Congratulations on the banging
and and uh and you, I'm Sean. I like that jacket. By
the way, you thank you. I play organ and keyboards and you gotta
talk right into that. Yeah, sorry, that's uh yeah, there you
go. I'm Sean Crowley and I play organ and keyboards and I sing thank
you very good? Yes that that it droops? I know. And you,
sir, I'm Jack. I am one of the two guitarists in this
band. I try to write more simple stuff as Kyle likes to take a
more jazzy approach. But I think that that balance is something that, you
know, kind of sets a support. I would say, so, okay,
and you, sir, my name is Kyle. I usually try to
play the triangle whenever I can. That's my favorite instrument and it really blends
together with our sounds. Sometimes they'll bring out the bongo, but I guess
recently I've been playing the guitar. Okay, well, very good. Now.
Now, has the band always been the five of you? Yep?
For the most I think that's a bit of a gray area rest of it.
We kind of came in at different stages, but for the most part,
yeah, okay, how long has the whole of existed? So that's
a showing question. Kyle and I started in January twenty twenty three. Okay,
and between then and beginning of May, we slowly picked up everybody.
Okay, so it was first me and Kyle, then we picked up Charlie
actually in February, Jack sometime in early March, and Ryan was beginning of
May. Okay, we stole Ryan. We did. We just kind of
told we've got that Strange Brew. Yeah, yeah, so it sounds like
there's a story. Yeah. So essentially without the Strange Brew being how it
is, without Mitch the owner, without Howard who runs the Sunday night open
Mike Blues Jam, and without all of his crew, John madeiros Mark,
Steve, everybody there, like, we wouldn't have met. So without that
place being there, this band wouldn't have really ever gotten off the ground and
it wouldn't have really even existed. So we definitely owe quite a bit to
that place, which is why we love coming up to Manchester because it's like
we kind of consider this place as like a home to us, as like,
yeah, like our first stomping ground. So we also come and share
for our story and be able to hang out. Where are y'all from?
Different? So I'm from a dunstable Massachusetts a cow town. I was gonna
say, I don't even know where Dunstable is there twice a week. Yeah,
yeah, it's just south of Nashua, New Hampshire, around the line,
right right over the border. Okay, okay, are you guys all
from mass or Yeah? I live way out way out east to the Northore.
Okay, how about how about the rest of you guys. Are I'm
the only New Hampshire in the band, you're the only one? Yeah?
I was originally from Salem, but I just moved to Manchester a year ago.
Oh okay, okay, very good, very good. It's interesting about
the strange Brew I've heard. I've heard that from other people too. It's
a that's a that that's one of the places that's really good to kind of
meet and network with other musicians. Yeah. Yeah, and you guys have
a it's a relatively new project, it sounds like. But you've you've already
got a whole bunch of well we'll we'll play more too as we go along,
But you've already got a bunch of great sound in studio tracks, one
all home produced too. For it's really all the of work, yeah,
mixing, mastering, right, that I have a little like home studio set
up in my basement with like nice that's the benefits of having a dad who's
also a musician play with all his fun toys. Oh, very cool,
very cool. Y cracks are fresh out of the Kenny basement, No kidding.
Yeah, Left Turn in Halifax Blues we're both recording in a recording studio,
which we mixed, and the rest of them they were recorded in Charlie's
basement kind of Oh okay, in practice we record everything, okay. So
where where we're Left Turn and Halifax Blues recorded? That was in Cambridge.
I work at a studio called Blink Music. Oh okay, cool, So
we just kind of got a time there and we recorded and we mixed.
It took abu I think like a month to mix that. We pushed it
out on Halloween. Oh, no kidding, Okay, okay, very cool.
That's the only track we've released so far, but everything else has just
been unreleased from the vaults. Yeah, okay, we're on the way though
too, yeaheah. Definitely. All of the unreleased stuff is cataloged and available
on our website. Oh, what's the website. It's www dot the whole
loaf. Dot net one more time. Dot net Yeah, okay, that's
how you know. It's official dot net, not dot com right right.
We're dot org yet, but we hope to get there. Maybe at dot
gov if we're lucky dot gov. There you go. Oh yeah, bass
players, tell me why do you like? Who do you like again?
And why do you like them? I want to go back to that.
Oh okay, So I'm a massive, massive Deadhead. Yeah. A friend
of mine got me into him almost ten years ago, and I really really
just love their sound. I just think what they do is amazing, especially
Phil Lesh. He's the bass player for the Dead and if you listen to
his stuff, he plays things very melodically, and he doesn't attack a certain
song, and he doesn't attack how the song is structured. He just kind
of plays what he wants to and he plays and if you hone it in
and you just listen to his bass playing, it's really not a bass part.
Yet somehow, the way he layers in and the way he's able to
dive in and out of the rhythm and the melody, it's absolute insanity and
it somehow works with everything that's going on. Same with Jack Cassidy to a
degree. He was the bass player for Jefferson Airplane, and he does a
very similar thing, especially if you listen to any of the live stuff that
he played with Country Joe and the Fish or even Jefferson Airplane is kind of
all over the place and stuff. Yeah, I know what you mean.
I saw. I can't. I don't know about Phil Leash. I mean
I know who he is, obviously, but I never listened to much Dad,
But I know what you mean about Jack Cassidy now that you bring it
up. Yeah, yeah, I can. I can definitely hear that.
Okay, Yeah, I was. I was curious. As a bass player,
my holy trinity of like bass players is Phil Lesh, Jack Cassidy,
and John Paul Jones. Oh nice Jaul Jones. Those are my three major
inspirations. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, Ryan as a bass player
does bring He has more of like a melodic style, which like from the
rhythm ppe active like from the drummer. It opens up like different opportunities to
kind of like make the beat a little more interesting. Yeah. So it's
a cool dynamic. They're both in love with each other. They really love
each other a lot. We have this like telepathic thing where I can just
we're in the middle of a jam or a song, and I can just
look at him and he knows exactly what I'm thinking, Yeah, and he
just brings it right there, and it's the thing of magic. It's the
universal unspoken relationship between the bassis and the drummer. Yea where it comes about.
Yeah, that's awesome, very good, very good. Now, what
about in terms of songwriting, you guys all write together or how does that
work. It's a little funny. We kind of all write songs separately,
so we end up with a pretty wide range of sounds. Like if you
listen to the difference between Left Turn and Halifax Blues, it's it's very very
different. I think you two, Sean and Kyle wrote Halifax Blues together and
then kind of brought it to the rest of us and we made our parts
for it. And Left Turn I wrote just a RIF four and send it
off to Kyle and Sean, and next thing we knew we had a song.
So we don't really have a set process, I don't think. Yeah,
it's it's a very collaborative process. So kind of how it works is
somebody comes up with a song idea, be it Jack or Kyle and Sean
or just Sean, Kyle, whatever, Charlie, even myself, and we
get together when we practice and we just say, hey, here's a song
idea, here are the chords, and we just kind of build it up
from there. Okay. That's one thing I really like is I like having
that collaborative process instead of somebody just writing a song and saying, hey,
here's how it needs to be. I like the collaboration. Yeah. Yeah.
I have a hunch too that do these change live sometimes because it seems
like the style of what you're doing, you know, you've got room to
breathe, it's built around improv Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say
that's another That's another facet to the songwriting is a lot of times we'll just
have a rehearsal and do a warm up jam and I'll just kind of make
something up. We do two of those a week. That's roughly four new
songs a week. Wow. Yeah, So how many songs do you guys
have currently? We have four hundred and sixty. Well, each of them
are at different stage with all the ideas, So like somebody gets an idea,
even if it's like a five second little thing. You send it to
Sean, he catalogs it, and then we go back and we rephrase them
and work on them together, bring them to the whole band, and then
everyone kind of gets a chance to write on it. Yeah. Yeah,
it's pretty. Best thing about having Sewn in the band for us is his
uh yeah, this is his cataloging ability, because he will note down every
single little riff idea for its and it all gets neatly organized in our dropbox.
So we could be able to even it's something like back four months ago
and it was just like a random get together, he'll still have a little
note for it. We can go back and revisit it. It can it
can be. It can be as simple as just a song title that doesn't
have a lyric, or that doesn't have any lyrics, or doesn't even have
any chords, and it goes and the idea is folder. Yeah. Oh
that's good. It's good. Good to have somebody who's super organized. Can
that's the saving grace? Yeah. Yeah. It might be a freak of
nature, as Ryan often says, but you know it keeps us organized.
Yeah, yeah, no, that's good. That's important. We should since
we were talking about it, we should play this track Halifax Blues. So
this is the other one that was recorded at the studio that you work at.
Any any any story behind the song or is there? Kyle and I
were just sitting in my bedroom one day and he goes, wow, you
can really make a song with anything, and he starts playing this this weird
uh whatever theory you want to attached to. He started playing that, and
then all of a sudden, I start playing a one to five under that,
and it's like, wow, I guess you're right. We can make
a song anything. That was the first song we released. Yeah, but
why Halifax Blues? What's the significance or is there any right? Yeah,
I couldn't tell you that. Just yeah, that was one that just kind
of spawned. We don't write this, we don't just transmit them. Yeah,
they kind of sometimes get delivered to us straight into our brains like radio
towers. Exactly. Alright, I like it. The song storks brought that
one. I think is a divine delivery. Very title. There we go.
That's another one. There you go. The idea is folder put the
folder, Yeah, alright, in it down as we speak. Well,
now we definitely have to listen to this all right, let's check this out.
This is Halifax Blues. The band is the Whole Loaf. Love the
top act who rolls around down cigarettes fo drowning me. How I got the
windows down to let it all out and wearing Baba suits. I can't let
on the facts. Please run the top of dog who wants to love?
When I see him? Pretty lady can help myself, don't you got me
rolling a round and chasing my tail and wearing dub my doors. I got
the elephants please. That is Halifax Blues. The band is the Whole Loaf,
and we have the whole Loaf with us in studio, literally the entire
band. Hey, where's the name come from? By the way, Jean,
there's got to be a story behind the name. Yeah. I just
woke up one morning and it was in my head and I thought to myself,
Wow, See when when I was looking for all the musicians before I
met these guys, I thought, well, I want to start a band
that does everything. I want to have no restrictions. I want everybody to
play what they want the way they want, and I want everyone to compromise
rather than people say no. I don't want to do that, so we
can't do that. So I don't know, I just kind of woke up
one morning and it was in my head. I'm like, wow, the
whole loaf, the whole spectrum, spectrum of music. And uh, you
know, at first everybody hated it. They're like no, no, what
is that. Then it slowly grew on everyone and they're like, yeah,
okay. So I was saying like, yeah, just let it, let
it sit for a little bit and if we come up with anything better,
we'll take that. And we never did, so it stuck. It did.
Did you did you think about consider some other name? I love rejected
band names. Did you have other names that you were thinking about? Or
I don't. I don't really know that we had any that stuck. I
know we had a side project with when I was one of the band,
one of the cover bands I was in broke Up. So I took some
of these guys from the very beginning to you know, kind of fill in
for one of the shows and it was us three yeah, and the band
name was called Zeke and the Zamboni's Oh that's cool. There was also oh
sorry no, I was just going to say as for our rejected band names.
I don't know that there were any that we remember. Yeah, on
a personal note, like by the time I joined the band, name was
already kind of there. Yeah, Like, as I forget who said it
earlier, I want to say it was Kyle, Who's like they basically just
stole me. They just picked me up and said, yep, you're with
us, and I said, all right, I guess. So. Yeah,
we convinced him to come to a practice and after a couple of songs,
we're like, yeah, you're the guy. Well, well you're the
guy, time out, time out. How it actually happened was Kyle messaged
me. We had played at the Brew a couple of times, and he
said, you know, we're looking shopping around for a bass player. Would
you be interested in filling in if we have any shows coming up? And
I said, yeah, sure, I don't mind filling in. I'm not
really in any projects, like let me know. He's like he's like,
all right, great, solid. Well, after a while, you know,
they said, hey, we have a gig coming up. Do you
want to fill in? And I said yeah. So I came through for
a few practices to practice for the gig and then eventually it was just like,
yep, you're the guy we want. You're right. Yeah, So
that's nice when you know, when it's organic like that. Yeah, then
it's when when it's easy to put a band together like that, then you
know you've really got something, you know well, And yeah, my introduction
story to these two over here, for it's like, I'm not really a
big fake guy, but the amount of pieces that had to go together in
order to make this introduction happen was super random. Really. It was at
the time I was in another college band called Night Visions, and we had
hosted a show in our college apartment basement at some point, and at the
time one of was my brothers, i'd say, a friend from middle school
his name was Brenner, happened to see that I was a drummer and like
just turd through the grape vine for that I was able to play drums or
and then it was a random January day where it's I had never really interacted
with him much, but he just like hit me up on Snapchat out of
the blue, just like, Hey, I was looking to start up a
new project, would you be interested to go play drums on it? And
at the time for it's I was like, I love playing with my college
band, but also like I was open to experimenting with new styles. Yeah,
and like my college band was more of a I wouldn't say like scripted,
but more of that, Like it's kind of like a set party.
Were playing with these guys. It was like the first time I played with
them at Dargan Hall, we just went off on a whole, like twenty
minute jam session for just making stuff up. We went on a journey first.
The first song he jammed out together it is called lock Me in the
Cupboard, their first original jam. And it's kind of funny because that first
session was January February twenty fourth of twenty twenty three. Do you know the
time too, Probably around six o'clock And I was definitely wearing this jacket.
Wow, all right, Yeah, for context, this is Sean's outfit every
day, all the time. He changed my shirt. Yeah, it's a
good look every once in a while. Excuse me, it's too bad that
people can't see it. You look like you stepped out of the time the
listeners where Sean looks like he was just born in the wrong generation traveler straight
out of the sixties right right. Well, actually the shirt though, is
not that unlike Ryan's shirt there just no just see, you guys can have
matching jackets. Then we could go full sixties, get the haircuts us Sean
and the Crowleys. Now do you guys play out a lot? You are
you playing out every week or how often we wish? Yeah? Well,
actually in May we are playing every weekend for the most part. Yeah.
It comes in births. Yeah. So we have three shows coming up in
May. We have a show May fourth at Sammy's Patio down in Revere.
Then the weekend after on May eleventh, we're playing at Strange Brew Tavern home
Turf. And then the weekend after that, on May eighteenth, we're opening
porch Fest down in Malden, Okay. Now, what is that porch Fest?
Is that a big multi day thing. No, it's just a small
one day festival. Starts at noon. We'll be playing noon to one.
It's put on by the Porch Juke Joint down in Malden Medford area and they
set it up outside and it's kind of a free event for the public.
They actually partner with the City of Malden to put it on. Oh cool,
cool, very cool. Do you guys ever, do you ever do
anything acoustic or is it always electric? It seems like your music would you
know you could? You could probably play in a lot of different configurations.
I'm the big acoustic guy over here. I mean, we love to play
some hog blues. That's a that's a genre we created where we get some
acoustic guitars and we just kind of have some fun. Well, it's less
of a genre and more of our unique style. He knows all the all
the cool chords, and I kind of just pick out melodies by ear.
Yeah. John plays strictly from the ear. He has no idea what music
theory is, but it's actually incredible, Like he listens to so much music,
so he just picks it up by ear, and I'm the opposite.
I like to study. I teach guitar too. It's great. I like
to study all that. So it kind of works very well when we play
together. Yeah, because I could do something that's decently cool, and then
he could tell me what it is that I did, and then I'll be
like, oh, yeah, yeah, okay, I can relate to Like
I don't know any theory I can, so I can I can relate I
I also I played by ear yeah, and I could never understand. But
I'm not good at math, and I think that's I think that's why because
it is is math, right, I mean basically like math. Yeah yeah?
And how long do you guys play when you when you do a set,
because I would imagine again with these songs, you know you can you
can kind of open them up and let them breathe. Do you do you
have you done like multi hour sets or so? Typically when we are the
only band playing that night. So for example, at Strange Brew, the
last gig we had at Strange Brew February fifteenth, we were the only band
there. Same with the gig coming up on May eleventh. We usually play
about three hours. Wow, yeah, no kidding. I play a full
three hour set, two sets with like a fifteen to twenty minute break in
between. Yeah. Yeah, oh that's really good. Is it all originals?
Do you do any do you throw some covers in there? Or there's
plenty of covers? Yeah? Are there? We we like our covers.
Yeah yeah. You know some of these guys keep saying like, oh,
well, we can't be at cover bands. You know, we got to
do originals. And I always keep saying there's way too many good songs out
there to not play well. It's kind of goes back to what Sean was
saying about the idea behind the whole Loaf name for in, just like our
inclusive vibe that we have, it's we still want to be able to mix
in for those covers, right as well as the originals. Yeah, yeah,
no, that makes sense. And is it challenging with five of you
in in the band? Is it? Is it challenging in terms of scheduling
like getting together for rehearsals and booking shows and whatnot? Is that actually all
We all chip in a little bit on on getting shows, doing all kind
of all that kind of work. But we have set days where we practice.
Yep, I wouldn't say it's too much of a struggle. We rehearsed
twice a week consistently. If someone is out one of those days, typically
the rest of the guys will do something, whether it's recording or rehearsal with
one less person. And then as for shows, those usually work out pretty
good too. Yeah good. And it goes back to acoustic thing too,
Like we're hosting an open jam in Nashua and it's just going to be the
two of us meet and Kyle at the Kaba Bar. Yep, oh,
very good. Well, when it comes to gig for it's we don't.
I would say, we don't operate in. Let's find a day convenient for
us and then we'll figure out our schedule. It's more we get offered today
and we'll cancel everything else that's going off to go. Yeah, yes,
that is accurate. There you go, there you go. Oh and how
did you how did you get in? We we ended up not Jenny and
I weren't able to stay for your set that night. But you guys played
at the Midnight I never got the name right, Midnight Creators Collected, Midnight
Creators Collective. Thank you. Yeah, Eleanor is amazing. She's she's doing
a great job with that. But how did you guys get involved with that?
With with playing that uh, that show? We didn't play that show.
We didn't play that show. We were just there. We got invited.
Oh I thought you guys played that night. No, no, no,
no, just visiting. We got offered. It was all because of
Greg He I honestly don't know his last name. I wish I did,
but he is the proprietor of the Kava Bar down in Ashua Rude Awakening Kaba
Bar. Check it out. It's a very interesting spot. We played there
a couple of times and we're we're doing a reoccurring open mic now month.
Okay, it's the last Saturday of every month, So come down and either
play with us or play by yourself pretty much do whatever you want. Yeah,
yeah, you're not you're not gonna. We're not. We're not sour
dough people. We're very friendly. Yeah, we're like but but yeah,
Greg he's the owner there, and he mentioned how Eleanor was the main investor
trying to get something going in the Nashuay area. And then another friend of
ours who's actually he takes lessons from Kyle Mike McDowell offered sent us like a
Facebook thing inviting us to it, and I said, hey, we should

I still don't adjas meet to sto all right? That is uh. I
think Gypsy very good. That is the Whole Loaf in studio with us.
No, I like that a lot. And I was saying off air that
you get a really good recording there in the in the basement there, So
that's no, that's really good. Guys, We're all we're the time goes
quickly before we run out of time at the end of the hour, and
we'll finish off with one more song. We won't be able to fit fit
the whole thing, but we'll we'll play a little something at the end.
But what should people know about? Where to find you online? How to
keep up with everything that you're doing? Website, social media, all of
that. So we have our own website, beautifully crafted by yours truly.
It's www dot the Whole Loaf dot net. Don't forget the ww dot because
I might have screwed up some DNS settings by accident. Sean Crawley, Sean
Crawley, everyone, I'm here all day. Actually I'm here for the next
ten minutes. Are you Are you serious about the DNS settings. I'm a
web designer, so I'm just curious. I'm yeah the geek and me is
like, what Google domains? Just switch the Squarespace and our site doesn't come
up if you don't put the WWW. Really yeah, I still have to
look into that. I just haven't had the time. Weird, Yeah,
but uh Google. Know what's funny about it is because anybody who knows me
knows so I always cringe when I hear people say the WWW, like I
hear it in radio ads still in the year twenty twenty four, and I'm
like why. And I've been saying that for twenty years, so I was
kind of thinking that when you were saying it, But now that you've explained
why you have to do that, it makes sense. But it's also like,
wow, that's so weird. Yeah, I can I have Google to
think. Wow, Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, I
have a couple of minutes during the day. John's really broken up about it.
Yeah, yeah, he hasn't slept in days. Oh, it would
frust It would frustrate me to no end. I'd be like, I wouldn't
sleep ever again until I hadn't figured out I'd be so I'd be so upset.
It's a one who hasn't written a song about it yet, to be
honest. Oh, I don't start anyway. Our other socials besides the Whole
Loaf dot net, you could find us on Instagram and TikTok at the dot
Whole Loaf. That's it. Facebook, I believe is the Whole Loaf.
Ryan can probably confirm that for me. That would be confirmed. Yes,
YouTube as well as The Whole Loaf, and I don't know what else we
have. We're on Spotify, we have Halifax Blues and Left Turnout, and
we'll be releasing some more music shortly. Yeah, it's all the music are
is on all major streaming services far as we use one of those distribution services
for it. Make sure that all the songs get released everywhere. Excellent more,
I would say, if you'd have to pick one to go to for
it's the instam and our bio. We have a link tree that will redirect
you to all of our other associated websites, So that's probably the easiest way
to get to know the Whole Loaf. More importantly, too, if you
go to our website and you go under I want to say it's media,
and you go on archive Media Archive sessions, it is I'm looking at it.
I'm looking at it right now. If you go to Media Archives sessions,
that's pretty much everything we've ever done, every practice, every practice,
every gig, everything. We record everything we've ever done. So you can
scroll through, pick a random thing and you can see everything that we play
during that practice or what have you, gig whatever. Yeah, yeah,
actually sorry, it's it's it's recordings, not sessions, so it's media radio
and Sean. How many recordings did we are we at? Now? Oh?
Dear god. So as I said, we're at four hundred and sixty
eight originals and the recordings themselves covers originals. All the session stuff is well
over a thousand. I lost track. Yeah, I'm looking at the page.
Yeah, it's got Each one has the date rehearsal at Charlie's house,
rehearsal at Kyle's house. Yeah. Wow, I'm a this is cool.
It's really cool to do that, and then if you click into the date,
it gives you the set list, and then if you click each song
in the set list, it will bring you to a Google page to play
it. Oh my god. Wow. So you can hear all of our
music for free on our website. W so not only can you see the
evolution of how songs develop over time, but we also include h what they're
called like intermission snippets, but also just some of the fun like banter moments.
Yeah, we have in practice those areas. Oh that's awesome. No,
good for you guys, Good for you for doing that. Thank you.
I went to the the reason, I pulled up the website on the
browsers. I was like, I gotta test this, and su I typed
in the whole loaf dot net. Nothing happened, it said not secure or
something. I put in the WWW, and it took me right to it.
Yeah, I'm just I just have to go in and set up a
redirect. But we don't even have a Squarespace account yet, so I'm gonna
have to create that to access the domain again and then make the edits do
some surgery. That's crazy that you have to do that, And I've been
putting it off because I want to wait until I have time to actually sit
down and go through all of the I'm essentially going to be exploring a completely
new platform from scratch, so I want to make sure I do it thoroughly
rather than yeah, I can relate to that because I'm the same way with
stuff like that. It's like, I'll have something that I really want to
do, like something like this would be driving me nuts, But at the
same time, it's like, but I need to find time where I can
just sit uninterrupted for what could potentially be several hours. And so it's that
battle that goes on in my mind. It's like, Oh, I really
got to get this done because this is killing me. But I got to
wait for a time when I can really dig into it because I know it's
going to be so I can I can relate and instead of just going to
like a provider that could do it for us, or it's I think we
want to take the time to get the experience of like figuring out how all
these pieces come together. And we also have an idea too, it's we're
also interested in starting up a record label to records, So being able to
have all these tools and our disposal would be cool to have for when we
venture. Yeah, definitely, what's it gonna be called? Unslice mind?
Well sliced right right, gotcha? There's no point in putting it back together,
I gotcha. We just have a couple we'll hear a little bit of
a should we do black and white radio and white? I don't know why
I said black and white radio? Obviously it's just black and white. Want
you want to do our garage floors? Yeah? Well this is going to
be our next next single state yet but this is it and the B side
is going to be fullsome Prison Blues. Oh no kidding. One is by
Jack Codges. Very cool. I didn't write fullsome Prison right right right.
Anybody's wondering. I got to mention that one's a cover. You didn't tell
me that. How long has this been going on? Well, guys,
thank you so much. This has been wonderful. It's great to meet all
of you and have you in and I've really enjoyed the discussion. I'm a
big fan of your music, and so thank you for coming in today.
