56
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:11,720
twenty five, twenty twenty three,
and we've got a great band in studio

57
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,759
with us making their second appearance on
the show. We have pretty late.

58
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,559
I don't think we had all the
members here with us last time, though,

59
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,120
so this is this is great,
And what we're gonna do is they're

60
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:26,039
gonna play live for us. They've
got a few songs and then we'll play

61
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:28,200
we'll play a studio track and then
we'll come back and we'll talk a little

62
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,559
bit to everybody. So really looking
forward to that, But not not much

63
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,480
to say at the moment because we've
got everybody set up for a live set

64
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:41,879
here. Just trying to make sure
everything is turned on because we've got the

65
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:46,799
full band here with us. But
let me pull these mics up here.

66
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,200
We can kind of hear you talking
a little bit, but welcome everybody.

67
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,279
Hey, I don't think it was
how many of you were here last time

68
00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:00,399
or it was okay, so most
of the band was here on what's up?

69
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:05,799
Let's uh now, how many songs
are you gonna play for us?

70
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,600
Three? Three? We get three
of them? Three? All right?

71
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,039
So what we'll do is no way
to do a proper sound check because we're

72
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,159
live, so I will kind of
ride the faders as we go. I'll

I'm the drummer of Pretty Late, one

201
00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:07,039
of the founding members back when it
was just three of us. Yeah,

202
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,199
we've come a long way. We've
grown a lot. This group has become

203
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,480
a family, you know. Yeah, yeah, very cool. Very cool,

204
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:20,400
all right, and you oh the
money is Mike. I'm sorry,

205
00:34:20,599 --> 00:34:24,519
I was distracted the zone out a
little bit. Yeah, No, my

206
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:29,480
name is Mike. I'm one of
the guitar players. I do a little

207
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:34,000
bit thing, and I do a
little bit right And you know, started

208
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:37,960
this about ten years ago and our
real our real true lineup kind of came

209
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,239
back in twenty nineteen, like right
before COVID. Yeah, so it was

210
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,880
a challenge to getting to this so
like and then that kind of the next

211
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,760
stage of things, and it's kind
of cool, you know what we're doing

212
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,719
now because it's a little bit different
from what we did we were your twenties.

213
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,239
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, of course I

214
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,760
heard quite a lot. Yes,
yes, and you and I'm Rob.

215
00:34:59,039 --> 00:35:04,159
I play guitar, little vocals,
songwriting. It's been definitely get go Okay.

216
00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:06,119
There just three of us, so
yeah, yeah, so you're one

217
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,360
of the originals. Yeah yeah,
there's five of us. Yeah, excellent.

218
00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:13,320
And the bass player, Yeah,
my name's Tom. I play the

219
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,440
bass guitar and do a little bit
of this, a little bit of that.

220
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,280
But I've been in the band since
twenty nineteen. I like the band.

221
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,840
It's a great band. It's been
a lot of fun. You do

222
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,519
some too. You know, I'm
a bass player and I was watching you

223
00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:27,159
and uh yeah, you do some
some solos in there too. It's pretty

224
00:35:27,199 --> 00:35:30,519
cool how that. I definitely like
to get adventurous with my bass playing,

225
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:35,519
and I'm inspired by bass players who
take the bass in more non traditional roles

226
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:38,280
a lot of the time. Man, Yeah, yeah, do you because

227
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,280
I was curious too, obviously you
know you're you're playing acoustic in here today.

228
00:35:42,639 --> 00:35:45,199
Do you approach it the same way
when you're plugged in on stage?

229
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,519
Or yeah? I do relatively of
my low end. For me, it's

230
00:35:47,559 --> 00:35:51,679
like really important to anchor the band
like a bass player supposed to. But

231
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,840
well, in between those two,
I like to weave some you know,

232
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,559
fun little things in there. Yeah. Yeah, I'd add something to the

233
00:35:58,639 --> 00:36:00,760
song or something that I like particular, you know, you know how it

234
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,599
is, try to be tasteful,
right right of course? Of course,

235
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:10,920
Now how much so is it one
full album that's out or and then you're

236
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,519
working on the next one or what's
what's the status of that? Ye?

237
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:19,440
So yeah, whoever wants to go, Yeah, just three songs right now

238
00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:23,239
in on our second album and we're
in the process of actually starting to do

239
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,960
some more creative writing. Okay,
this new album is actually going to be

240
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,000
a twist. It's really going to
be a big twist for all our fans

241
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:36,199
is out there. It might be
something that they wasn't expected, really,

242
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,639
but we got something in the future
set up for the Icy is going to

243
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:45,599
be some amazing things. Any clue
or is the twist of surprise? It's

244
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:51,320
a wonderful surprise things and concept stages. Yeah, a lot of lots of

245
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:59,440
a lot of poka. Well that's
that's definitely a twist. Yeah, yeah,

246
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:01,800
you guys will figure it out.
But no, it's a lot of

247
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,159
clay to carve away everything that.
Uh. Now the studio tracks that we've

248
00:37:07,199 --> 00:37:10,760
heard, where where were these recorded? Because everything sounds really good. It

249
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,679
was ugly Duck studios out of Brighton, I think they were, you know,

250
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,360
they were in the Sound Museum that
got closed down like that, and

251
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,800
now they're somewhere. I think they're
in Mercy Boulevard now. Okay, so

252
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:28,159
everything's done in city, but you
know, we're the next record is still

253
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,760
kind of in the process, so
we're doing you know, different engineers and

254
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,960
doing the quotes and you know,
kind of running around communicating with people.

255
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,320
So I'm not sure who's going to
record the next record, but oh okay,

256
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:43,000
definitely a talented person we will find. Well that goes out for anybody

257
00:37:43,079 --> 00:37:47,119
else, jump on, here's your
opportunity. Yeah. Well, we live

258
00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:51,079
in a time where there's so many
different options in terms of how you record.

259
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,559
You know, you can do it
yourself. You can. I mean

260
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,880
some of some of the bands we
have on it's like, uh, you

261
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,599
know, they're they're recording in their
living room or their garage or wherever,

262
00:37:58,679 --> 00:38:00,440
and and it ends up sounding great. It's like you know, if if

263
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,800
you if you really know what you're
doing. But but also too, I

264
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,840
mean, if you can find a
find an engineer or a producer who's really

265
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,679
good and who wants to work with
it, you can get some great some

266
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,960
great stuff. How did you the
h the studio in Brighton? You said,

267
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,519
yeah, how did you come to
work with with that studio? Just

268
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,840
you know, we just kind of
jumped on Google and talked to different people

269
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,440
and yeah, you saw what there
was available, you know at the time.

270
00:38:25,679 --> 00:38:29,880
Yeah, just like right during the
early like the first six months of

271
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,199
when the COVID shutdown started, like
so it was kind of weird at the

272
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,000
time. Everything was weird, like
it was limited. There weren't as many

273
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:39,239
people like open and working. I
think Ugly Duck Studios did a great job.

274
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,039
You know, we had a good
experience with them. But I think,

275
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:44,159
you know, just for the sake
of doing things different, we're going

276
00:38:44,199 --> 00:38:46,440
to probably move elsewhere next time.
But they great people there. They did

277
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:52,599
a wonderful job. Yeah. Yeah, no, absolutely, yeah. Now

278
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:57,639
so they did they you said they
closed, Uh, they just moved.

279
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,760
Oh they moved Commons story of these
days. Yeah. The building. It's

280
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,000
in a big old mill building that's
housed a lot of music. Part of

281
00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:07,920
that was their studio. Oh I
gotcha. Every everybody lost when this building

282
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,519
got sold, you know. Oh, okay, I got you practice spaces

283
00:39:12,679 --> 00:39:15,679
it was everything, you know.
Yeah, yeah, no, that that's

284
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,840
that's too bad. Now are you
playing a lot of shows? Does Does

285
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,719

298
00:40:10,679 --> 00:40:15,599
interested from like the next tier clubs
in Boston. So it's it's been definitely

299
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,639
interesting and you kind of you pay
your due, you know, you know,

300
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,000
you don't really get any attention or
apply apply on an email until you

301
00:40:23,079 --> 00:40:27,880
know they see that you've been busy
doing things right. Exactly, it's nice.

302
00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:34,239
Exactly. Now has the sound changed
from who are who are the Original

303
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:44,159
Three? Again? Who's Mike Mike
three in the center? Yeah? The

304
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:51,280
first Original three? I'm sorry,
and that has the sound changed from from

305
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,960
the original, the original version of
the band. It's it's matured. It's

306
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,679
definitely more mature crowd. We went
from like a basement rock you know,

307
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,519
with two guitars and a drummer and
bass player. Yeah, you know,

308
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,440
kind of that messy Toronto Punk Rocks
sign that kind of had some Mendi vibes

309
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:13,360
to it, you know, but
you know, it was just three guys

310
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,199
hanging out in the basement playing music
back then. So it's you know,

311
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:21,920
it's definitely now, it's kind of
evolved in and it's constantly evolving. Yeah,

312
00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:24,920
just like I was saying just a
minute ago off here with my bassis,

313
00:41:25,079 --> 00:41:29,719
like last NNK, just randomly,
we were just doing this acoustic thing,

314
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,360
just warming up and just playing around. But we actually came up with

315
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:37,039
something that I am adding into our
shows. Even if we just take a

316
00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,039
couple of seconds, break it down
for this one second, just me and

317
00:41:39,159 --> 00:41:43,760
him just do this little ensemble,
because it was amazing how we vibed with

318
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,920
just two acoustic instruments. Just things
like that that we can now add to

319
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,599
this next album. It just might
be one track that you just get some

320
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,760
instrumentals, you know what I mean, we just who knows, Like,

321
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,599
just wait, was that the twist? Did you just give it away?

322
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:04,559
I thought, I thought, I
gotcha. There's still seventy percent of a

323
00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:07,679
blank canvas. Yeah. Yeah,
I guess we're kind of hopeful and maybe

324
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:13,199
the next up we can really bend
genres and create something really interesting and unique.

325
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,360
Yeah, kind of it. It's
our hope, you know what we

326
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:20,280
wanted. That was the best way
to put it. Yeah. We we

327
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,039
have a lot of different musical tastes
between the five of us, and so

328
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:29,639
much musical talent just just a monthst
like musical talent that's just being that can

329
00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:32,119
be unlocked. Yeah, makes sense, you know. I think the funnest

330
00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:37,159
part being probably from the outer perspective
in I know, probably Tom could attest

331
00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:40,039
to this too, kind of coming
into the band a little bit later,

332
00:42:40,519 --> 00:42:45,679
is you know, being friends with
these guys, seeing them grow on a

333
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:52,280
personal level, on a musical level. I think, in particularly myself,

334
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,239
I loved that. You know,
when I first started hanging out with these

335
00:42:55,320 --> 00:43:00,800
guys, it was you know,
as friends and then doing some like vocal

336
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:07,079
training and then kind of like immersing
into it and you know, finding finding

337
00:43:07,159 --> 00:43:12,800
a sound that you know, that
fit the group. So it's been it's

338
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,199
been very fun over the years.
Yeah, I think Mike Mike said it

339
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:20,679
best. It's just like we formed
this family of you know, of misfits.

340
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:29,000
As I like to say, did
any of the material from the original

341
00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:31,360
version of the band? Has that
is that made it into this version?

342
00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:36,480
Like obviously I'm sure it sounds very
different if it did. But did any

343
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:39,280
of those songs kind of survive or
into the first album? Second the first

344
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:45,039
album that I was right, I
would have to say Deceiver, Yeah,

345
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:52,559
and didn't you guys write like half
the that that's pretty much the same sound

346
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:55,199
that it was that day we were
Yeah, I mean everything changed a little

347
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:59,960
bit, but I mean in its
pure form, is it's all their Yeah,

348
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:02,000
you know what I mean, A
lot of it was written already,

349
00:44:02,079 --> 00:44:06,599
and you know, besides like a
few two or three tracks that we were

350
00:44:06,639 --> 00:44:10,159
writing as we were kind of got
the five of us together, I mean,

351
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,679
but even still everyone went back and
put their own twist on one was

352
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,000
already there anyways. But so it's
just kind of it's the same thing,

353
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:21,440
but you know, it's just a
different flavor. Yeah. Yeah, the

354
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,320
structure was definitely there. I think
the you know, the minutia of it,

355
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:30,360
all of you know, kind of
transitioning vocals from one to the other

356
00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:36,239
was a fun experience. I'm sure
some days Mike wanted to pull his hairs

357
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:44,800
out, but but it was fun. It was a fun what why why

358
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,039
do you say did did Mike sing
everything before you were in the band?

359
00:44:47,119 --> 00:44:51,480
Is that he did? So it
was just the three of us. But

360
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,719
as I gave him the name,
he was the front man. Rob was

361
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,159
the side vocals, you know,
the second vocalist, and I would do

362
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,360
background and nap lips. That's just
what it was. It was just us

363
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,960
three and we just went out and
just had a good old time. Yeah,

364
00:45:05,079 --> 00:45:07,719
and then as you see pretty latest
forms and now we have us five

365
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,199
and hopefully we're just going to keep
on going. The sky's the limits.

366
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,280
Yeah, yeah, is it hard? Is it hard with five people in

367
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:21,239
terms of schedules and you know,
rehearsal and booking shows and everything. Challenge.

368
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,960
Yeah, we're not twenty two anymore. We're not living with mom,

369
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,960
you know. Yeah, we have
responsibility, responsibilities, we have rand you

370
00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:30,760
know, like you know, we're
in our thirties, like you know,

371
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:36,119
there's houses and mortgages and paying back
student loane. Yeah, waking up at

372
00:45:36,119 --> 00:45:39,159
four o'clock to go to my construction
job and everyone's gonn else cut their own

373
00:45:39,199 --> 00:45:44,079
time, and then yeah, mom's
to see family to check in on,

374
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,559
you know, new babies that arrived
and nephews and nieces and birthdays, so

375
00:45:49,199 --> 00:45:51,960
you know, yeah, it's definitely
hard, but we try to get together

376
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,800
at least once a week, and
we try to play out around once a

377
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:59,239
month, depending on what we have
on our schedule. Yeah, you know,

378
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,159
as things, we just kind of
roll with the bunches and figure out

379
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:06,039
what works for us best. Yeah, and communication is a really strong factor

380
00:46:06,199 --> 00:46:07,320
on that, you know what I
mean, because we have to be able

381
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:12,559
to jump on opportunities that sari as
they come in. Yeah, so it's

382
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,199
it's can be a struggle, but
we do our best to survive it.

383
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,800
Yeah. I can only think of
it in one you know, I used

384
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,960
to play in bands, and I
can only think of one band I was

385
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,360
in where we actually had five of
us. But I just remember with it

386
00:46:24,519 --> 00:46:29,800
was like just just going from a
band with four people to five people.

387
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,960
It was a huge difference in terms
of just everyone's schedules and everything it was

388
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:37,960
a you know, it was a
challenge. So yeah, I understand,

389
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:43,760
I understand the issues that can come
up with that, But yeah, what

390
00:46:44,079 --> 00:46:47,320
about I mean in terms of deciding
where to record and everything. I mean,

391
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:52,079
is that is that pretty democratic?
Or do you kind of touching on

392
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,639
like what Tom said earlier, It's
it's in what Mike said. Honestly,

393
00:46:54,760 --> 00:47:00,280
it's kind of looking out doing a
little research. You know. It's anything

394
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,239
you gotta get a couple of quotes, You got to get a couple of

395
00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:06,920
different ideas, see what their backgrounds
is. They might be amazing what they

396
00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:09,320
do, but does it fit with
us or will lot of stuff fit with

397
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,239
them? You know? And then
like how Tom was saying, it's just

398
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,320
trying to figure out what the next
best avenue, you know, and just

399
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,199
going from there. We'll always open
to, you know, new ideas,

400
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,159
new options, And yeah, I
mean we put up a lot of research

401
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,840
out me. You know, I'll
bring you know, kind of a PowerPoint

402
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,920
pretty much presentation to the group.
We'll try to come to a COmON vote

403
00:47:32,039 --> 00:47:37,400
or you know, someone Rob Christine, Tom, Mike, Mike. They

404
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,159
might say, hey, I found
out that's a cool place. Why don't

405
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:42,119
we just give a callings what they're
they're asking for, yeah, you know,

406
00:47:42,559 --> 00:47:45,320
for responsibilities and money and contracts,
but all that stuff like that,

407
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:49,119
and just kind of figure out if
the dates will work for us. And

408
00:47:49,159 --> 00:47:52,159
then you know, things have kind
of changed a little bit too, Like

409
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:57,440
pre COVID, like recording studio time
was probably about thirty forty dollars less hour.

410
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,519
Yeah you know what I mean.
Yeah, Yeah, that's kind of

411
00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:06,079
changed kind a bit. Touches everything
everything. Yeah, and we you know,

412
00:48:06,119 --> 00:48:07,119
we would get four and at all
us for eight hundred block and now

413
00:48:07,559 --> 00:48:10,719
they're looking at like, you know, a ten hour. That's like almost

414
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,360
doubled, like six fifty just for
the eight hour block. You you know

415
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:16,440
what I mean. That's that's a
working day, I get it, you

416
00:48:16,519 --> 00:48:20,920
know. With the cost. Oh
yeah, it's a struggle. But so

417
00:48:21,639 --> 00:48:22,719
we got to make a lot of
money for our merchant, our shows and

418
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,519
the streams and things like that to
put forth like that because we try to

419
00:48:25,559 --> 00:48:30,639
put it spend as least money out
of pocket as we can. Yeah,

420
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,760
but you know, and we do
it already too in all right, John,

421
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,960
as much as you can, you
know, being in a working band,

422
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,719
when you're a bunch of you know, working individuals. It's like what,

423
00:48:40,599 --> 00:48:44,079
yeah, but we do pretty good. You know, things have gotten

424
00:48:44,119 --> 00:48:45,960
pretty serious. We do manage to
make some money, use it to buy

425
00:48:46,079 --> 00:48:49,519
merch, you know, save ourselves
the trouble of paying out of pocket all

426
00:48:49,559 --> 00:48:52,000
the time. We succeed in that. Mike signed us up, put us

427
00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:58,039
in for a grant nomination through like
a mask cultural arts thing and we won,

428
00:48:58,119 --> 00:49:00,440
which was really great. You know, we want some money when we

429
00:49:00,519 --> 00:49:02,760
put towards new gear and stuff,
like the bands becoming some kind of entity

430
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,239
like you know, business, like
a real working band. You know.

431
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,079
Yeah, pretty cool. It's a
lot, but it's fun. That'll just

432
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:15,000
be quiet because I might be listening. Right, three dollars I made profit

433
00:49:15,079 --> 00:49:22,199
off my shirts. We don't make
profit. We don't have any props.

434
00:49:22,199 --> 00:49:30,159
That's why we'll always open to donations. Going to find anything. Yeah,

435
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,880
well don't worry. We'll get something
for your appreciation of gratitude you donated.

436
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,199
Will send you something that lets you
know that you have donated, right,

437
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:44,280
exactly, exactly. Yeah. I
listened to UH satellite radio in the car

438
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,000
and there's always these ads about the
r S is coming for you and UH

439
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:52,400
call Optimal Tax relief. Yeah,
I don't have the jingle memorized Optima tax

440
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:58,480
relief. But when they call you
in the middle of the work day,

441
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,760
it's like, hey, you know, it seems like you're broke. Want

442
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:07,320
some money. Now? Do any
of you also play in other bands or

443
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,800
are you all just Uh? I'm
particularly curious about Mike. Mike because every

444
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:17,239
drummer who is on the show always
has a million bands. Drummers are in

445
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,280
such high depend I don't know how
they do it. I don't know how

446
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,360
you're kid, It's really hard to
be in one, yeah, with branding

447
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,440
and this and that, and you
know, like it's it's it's a full

448
00:50:27,519 --> 00:50:30,480
time job. Yeah yeah, and
if you're going to commit to one,

449
00:50:30,519 --> 00:50:32,000
it's great. But yeah, but
like I feel like there's people that are

450
00:50:32,079 --> 00:50:36,320
like musicians and like they're they're just
they can just jump in and they can

451
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:37,920
work any type of music and whatever, and then yeah, they offer to

452
00:50:38,119 --> 00:50:40,559
other bands. And then there's people
that are really passionate about one project.

453
00:50:40,599 --> 00:50:43,840
They want to get that forward going, you know what I mean. So

454
00:50:44,039 --> 00:50:47,840
everyone has their own kind of deviation
between the two. Yeah, I mean

455
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,280
a little bit more than the other. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, we

456
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,440
had a. I don't know if
if you guys know the band Sepsis,

457
00:50:54,639 --> 00:50:59,280
Uh, they were on recently and
then the drummer was on his way to

458
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:04,280
play so show with another band that
he has in Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah,

459
00:51:04,679 --> 00:51:07,519
travel like yeah, I mean I've
seen a few musicians that like there's

460
00:51:07,519 --> 00:51:10,679
just a little bit above our level
and it's like you're doing so much traveling.

461
00:51:12,079 --> 00:51:14,840
How do you pay for that?
How do you have the time to

462
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,719
do the two jobs? Right?
You know? Right, because it's really

463
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,440
like four jobs because you're also a
musician and then you have to do your

464
00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:25,360
marketing and social media messaging. You
have to be nice to your fans,

465
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:30,239
and you have to talk to them
and entertain them. And when they say

466
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:31,480
hi to you, you have to
sit down and have a conversation with them.

467
00:51:31,519 --> 00:51:37,000
You can't just walk away from right, right, So yeah, that's

468
00:51:37,079 --> 00:51:40,159
it's like you really have two extra
jobs when you're a musician, you know,

469
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:45,800
on top of your Yeah, you're
you're really working three jobs just to

470
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,400
play music the love of it,
you know. Yeah, which we love

471
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:55,039
talking with our fans, we do. Who does trying to bring them into

472
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,639
rob to speak a little, to
stay in a show if we don't encourage

473
00:52:00,679 --> 00:52:09,559
him to come out. It is
it is still morning, Yeah, it

474
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:14,960
is, you know, definitely different. Yeah. I think we got home

475
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,199
around like eleven thirty after practice last
night. So yeah, now who does

476
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,440
uh you could because you mentioned how
much work it is, like in terms

477
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,320
of like social media for example,
who who handles that for for you?

478
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:28,679
Guys all do it kind of all
try to do a little bit. But

479
00:52:29,159 --> 00:52:31,440
you have a team that's kind of
helping us. So I have we have

480
00:52:32,679 --> 00:52:38,800
an l M s U K.
There's a company out in London. They

481
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,559
do a lot of our contact creation, but we we do. We provide

482
00:52:42,599 --> 00:52:46,400
all the raw material. I still
do a lot of emails and reach outreach

483
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:51,800
and stuff like that. You know, everyone else kind of chips in when

484
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,519
they can. I tend to put
that responsibility on myself quite a bit,

485
00:52:54,679 --> 00:52:59,480
but you know, it's just you
just have to act with urgency in this

486
00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:04,239
business. So uh, it's it's
definitely tough to come to to get a

487
00:53:05,119 --> 00:53:07,519
opportunity out to five people and then
get an answer returned and things like that.

488
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:12,440
So sometimes it's easier for one person
delegate and kind of just to figure

489
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,840
out how we're going to figure it
out. And move it on. But

490
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,480
these guys are getting better at getting
back to me, and so I can

491
00:53:17,519 --> 00:53:21,559
get back to people like you and
people like the club owners and this and

492
00:53:21,559 --> 00:53:23,320
thing like that, and people thinks, because a lot of stuff is just

493
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,480
coming at us now and it's just
like, wow, I gotta get a

494
00:53:27,519 --> 00:53:30,280
lot of answers out and I got
to figure out this guy with five people

495
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,079
to get this one person an answer, and they're looking at me, looking

496
00:53:32,119 --> 00:53:36,079
at the for like, what the
hell this guy ever replied if you want

497
00:53:36,119 --> 00:53:39,480
to play or not? You yeah, yeah, So basically because that Mike's

498
00:53:39,519 --> 00:53:44,599
really the the heart behind a lot
of our social media stuff. He's got

499
00:53:44,639 --> 00:53:47,199
the strategy, the mind for it. But like he said, we've outsourced

500
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:51,360
some of that stuff for our ben
and it's definitely saved some time and after

501
00:53:51,519 --> 00:53:54,519
that well worth the money spent for
sure. It's it's definitely nice. It's

502
00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:58,239
nice to be able to kind of
come back down to earth a little bit

503
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:02,000
and just focus on my music and
get there. So you know, it's

504
00:54:02,039 --> 00:54:05,519
just like you know, as these
things grow, you know, you kind

505
00:54:05,559 --> 00:54:07,760
of know like these the brain be
kind to take the life of its own,

506
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:13,360
and you know you're just don't even
know. It's just doing things on

507
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,360
its own. Like it goes on
like people looking at our past content,

508
00:54:15,519 --> 00:54:20,039
you know, the music itself,
and that's just kind of snowballing and everything

509
00:54:20,119 --> 00:54:22,159
online. As the internet does,
it starts to just kind of multiply,

510
00:54:22,519 --> 00:54:25,280
right, you know what I mean. So and then the challenge comes.

511
00:54:25,559 --> 00:54:30,039
It becomes keeping up with it exactly, and you got to feed that machine.

512
00:54:30,159 --> 00:54:31,440
And that's where we're at now.
It's like, you know, it's

513
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:37,760
moving faster, faster, faster.
So yeah, yeah, absolutely, how

514
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:42,079
many So how many songs do you
have because you've got the first album and

515
00:54:42,119 --> 00:54:45,280
then you've got new you've got new
stuff obviously for the album. So we've

516
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:51,199
probably got fifteen, sixteen, maybe
twenty together. Yeah, yeah, it's

517
00:54:51,199 --> 00:54:57,280
pretty We have completed ten released.
We have ten released. It's our full

518
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,880
album. You guys are probably getting
resong epiece way next year, okay,

519
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:07,719
and you know we're writing that.
We're taking our time with that. Yeah,

520
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,119
we don't. We don't want to
rush out of product. You know,

521
00:55:10,199 --> 00:55:15,639
we took a long time to get
like took you know, six years

522
00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:19,079
to find a lineup. Yeah,
then it took four years for that lineup

523
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:21,519
to kind of master the craft again
to the studio and we still kind of

524
00:55:21,559 --> 00:55:23,679
rush that and we did it during
the COVID time and it was our first

525
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,880
whack at recording and all that stuff, and you know, we're kind of

526
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,039
taking all the lessons we've learned for
the past four and a half years and

527
00:55:31,159 --> 00:55:36,199
applying it to the second album.
So what we've learned is that we're just

528
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,599
gonna do it the way it needs
to be done and take our time with

529
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,000
it. And you know, we're
gonna play our old music. We'll play

530
00:55:42,079 --> 00:55:45,599
some covers while we're out there.
We might we might play unreleased songs.

531
00:55:45,039 --> 00:55:49,039
If you come out to the shows. You just you're not gonna get a

532
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,880
version on Spotify for at least the
year. It costs money. Yeah,

533
00:55:52,159 --> 00:55:57,360
yeah, exactly what do you guys
do for for covers? We get some

534
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,119
stuff, We rotate them around,
you know what I mean, so that

535
00:56:00,159 --> 00:56:04,000
it's kind of like a box that
keeps refilling a lot of variety in the

536
00:56:04,119 --> 00:56:07,559
genres. Like one of some of
our earliest covers from when the five of

537
00:56:07,679 --> 00:56:12,760
us first got together, it was
like Tennessee Whiskey by Christapleton, Valerie by

538
00:56:14,119 --> 00:56:16,280
Yeah Amy Winehouse, Yeah, and
then you know, there's some rock covers,

539
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:21,840
some pop covers we've done. Uh
we did so remember when we did

540
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:28,760
what was that funk song? We
learned that Carl Carlton? Yeah, yeah,

541
00:56:29,039 --> 00:56:30,000
yeah, that was the one.
Yeah. It's like we just we

542
00:56:30,159 --> 00:56:32,559
like a lot of different stuff.
Yeah, it depends on the audience,

543
00:56:32,599 --> 00:56:35,360
you know, because like that's what
you that's why you pick. You pick

544
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,679
your covers based on who's gonna be
there. I mean the other bands were

545
00:56:37,679 --> 00:56:40,880
playing shows with and say what type
of stuff is gonna fit with the other

546
00:56:42,039 --> 00:56:45,199
artists more in this Yeah, that's
kind of how we pick our covers,

547
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:45,960
you know what I mean. We
got a couple of covers that we just

548
00:56:46,039 --> 00:56:50,159
kind of that we can pull,
you know, out of the hat,

549
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,960
yeah and do that. But covers
we kind of rotate them, you know

550
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,280
what I mean, something new could
come out well cover that yeah, you

551
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,239
know. Yeah. Are any of
these songs, by the way, are

552
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:06,039
any of them kind of different live
in terms of because some of them kind

553
00:57:06,039 --> 00:57:07,840
of have a vibe like I can
see where live you can you can stretch

554
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,559
them out a little bit, you
know, maybe kind of jam a little

555
00:57:10,559 --> 00:57:14,119
bit. Do you do any of
that with any of these songs or yeah,

556
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,679
no, it's not exactly exactly the
same thing. You want to touch

557
00:57:16,679 --> 00:57:20,440
on that a little bit. Yeah, yeah, it's always a little different

558
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,800
when we play live, really tied
into what the album was. Yeah,

559
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:29,360
yeah, freedom, just screw around, maybe tackle on a man or tube,

560
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,480
get someone else a will, time
to breathe behind the drums or yeah,

561
00:57:32,599 --> 00:57:36,360
Tom with a nice bass all here
and there. Yeah yeah, yeah,

562
00:57:36,639 --> 00:57:37,719
no doubt a lot more fun playing
them. Yeah, I mean,

563
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:42,599
so we'll sing on the other parts
or add backups where they're not backups on

564
00:57:42,639 --> 00:57:47,159
the on the album, or you
know, exactly the guitar. Yeah,

565
00:57:47,199 --> 00:57:51,880
the guitar slalolp might not be exact, or you know, just depending on

566
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,599
how much time and the set will
kind of condense things like but you know,

567
00:57:55,599 --> 00:57:59,519
if anyone's a fan of our music, they know that what we're we're

568
00:57:59,559 --> 00:58:02,199
doing like on the album, and
it's not everything you can kind of translate

569
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:06,960
that live anyways. So yeah,
but we give you a pretty good pure

570
00:58:07,039 --> 00:58:08,960
form that goes back to that that
reference. You know, you look at

571
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:13,199
things through staying glass and we're there
to have fun with them too. So

572
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,159
it's like it's an experience for us
as well, so it's always going to

573
00:58:16,199 --> 00:58:21,760
be slightly different. So that's why
we love, you know, having these

574
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,360
opportunities to be out there kind of
with our fans, you know, connecting

575
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,559
with new people, just you know, kind of being a part of the

576
00:58:29,719 --> 00:58:35,960
music industry right now. Yeah,

591
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:37,239

Is that really? Very much?
Pretty much everywhere? We didn't actually have
