just so Justine, that'll get the blood pumping coil back. UH from Dallas
Texas and we have. Let me bring that up there. Lou Morris is
with us via Skype. Are you there? Yes, I am welcome to
the show, my friend. I thanks for having me. Yeah, I
really like what you're doing. Now. Is anybody else from the band with
you or is it just you? Nah? No, everybody else actually has
like real jobs and stuff. That's all right, that's all right. Yeah,
man, that is pure adrenaline. That song. I really really like
it. And actually we're gonna play another Coilback song at the end of the
segment that I particularly love. I think I mentioned it to you in an
email. Oh Chris Kelly is in the chatterman says I'm here in spirit.
I assume he's one of your band mates. Yeah, he's our drummer.
Oh, very good, very good. Yeah, that Texas Metal. We've
had a lot of Texas metal bands on the show and love it. It
seems like it's a really good scene there. I assume there's a lot of
great bands that you know in the area. There's some amazing bands here.
It's kind of a cover band wasteland of recently here. We're trying to slowly
kind of get it going again. Yeah, but Yeah, there's so much
talent here, and it's just one of those things that just trying to get
the people out there to listen to it. It's like, you know,
find something new. It doesn't always have to be you know, everything you've
heard since you were a teenager, right, exactly, exactly. Yeah.
That's something that we talk about a lot on the show too, is how
people a lot of people tend to get kind of stuck in a certain era,
whether it's when they were growing up or maybe a little bit beyond that.
You know, some people they get to like twenty five or thirty years
old and they just kind of say, Okay, all the music I've heard
up to this point I like, and anything made after this day I'm not
going to love. Yeah, and you miss out on so much that way.
I often bring up on the show my dad, who is in his
seventies and he lives on the seacoast here in New Hampshire, so he lives
near a really great college radio station WUNH, and that's what he loves to
listen to because he loves, even at his age, he loves hearing new
music. You know. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it's you gotta
keep looking for the new stuff. I mean, familiar is great. You
know, I'll throw on Van Halen just as quick as i'll throw on something
new. And it's one of those that you got to seek it out there.
And that's the thing is, there's so much good stuff right now that
isn't necessarily put out by a major label, right and it's so easier these
days of the Internet. It's easier to find. But I don't know why
nobody's going out and looking for it. Well, that's the thing. Yeah,
people have no excuse because it is easier to find than ever. There's
so much music and there's so much that you're missing out on if you don't
bother to investigate it, you know. So that it seemed my impression,
by the way. As far as the scene that you're in in Dallas,
I mean that's a pretty competitive scene, right There's a lot of bands,
a lot of bands, and not a lot of venues anymore. We've lost
a lot of our really like legacy venue so to speak, and it's it's
it's a weird time right now. I mean it's kind of cycled like this
through Dallas because I mean Coilback's been around twenty four years now at this point.
Wow, And so it's one of those I've kind of watched it rise
and fall and rise and fall, so we're kind of in one of those
fall areas right now. But people get tired of the same old, same
old, and then they start looking for the new stuff again. So it's
kind of waiting for it to kind of rotate back around again, right,
right, more than twenty years Coilback has been around. Oh yeah, oh
yeah. We started in two thousand, December of two thousand, so just
barely you know, twenty four. But it's like it's, yeah, we
celebrated our We kind of joke around that we're kind of Dallas's answer to spinal
tap the way stuff happened because we were going to celebrate our twentieth anniversary and
have all these bring back all these old songs and do some extended sets,
and we kind of know it all happened in twenty twenty, so right,
yeah, yeah, how do you keep a band going for that long?
Because I, you know, I myself, I've played it in a bunch
of bands, but I think the longest I was in a band that lasted
any amount of time, at least during my tenure in the band was probably
geez. I was in one band for maybe seven or eight years. But
so I can't even imagine, like, how do you keep something going that
long? I guess just sheer stubbornness. Yeah, I mean I'm the only
original member. We went through a couple of lineups, but I'm the I'm
kind of the main songwriter anyway. So it hasn't really changed a lot sound
wise. Yeah, a lot of it just because not Lessari. We always
joke around. It's like I'm such a diva. All my original guys moved
out of state to get away from me, But it really wasn't they like
we had. Uh, we had a lineup and the original lineup, the
bass player I worked with him at a pyrotechnics company, but he ended up
moving to Ohio, and then we got another bass player in, and then
he ended up moving to Idaho, and then when I brought in another we
started as a three piece, and then I brought in another guitar player.
He ended up moving to Illinois, and then the one drummer we had before
this current one, he's out in California now, and so it's just been
one of those it's just been swapping around a lot now saying that with the
exception of the bass player we've got now the lead guitar and the drummer that
I've got, that's been the longest we've that I've worked with any of them,
and that lineup's coming up right at ten years. Okay, okay,
so the there's been some stability there. That's good. Oh yeah, oh
yeah. Yeah. It's always been one of those things that I try to
keep it real easy going with coilback. It's always been one of those things
that I try to let everybody have some input on it and all that stuff,
and so it's usually when everybody leaves, it's never any hard feelings or
anything. Because Yeah, for instance, our bass player Eddie Johnson, the
one that moved to Idaho, he met a woman over there and he ended
up having a heart attack on stage when he was playing with He didn't realize
it at the time. Oh my god. And he just kind of went
up to me and he's like, man, I'm not feeling great, and
I'm like, oh, go get checked out, man, And he found
I had a heart attack. So then he kind of had to reprioritize life
a little bit. There going you know, do I want to play around
with this or do I want to go maybe start a family or whatever.
So wow, I was like, dude, no hard feels. If you
want to go over there and pursue that the family like and go for it
man. You know, it's like, I'm not going to stop you from
that. So yeah, it's been for those things. We did, like
a little if you ever go on YouTube on our coilback page, we did
a little twentieth anniversary very spinal tapish documentary of the band. Oh wow.
I had a lot of the old guys come in and just tell stories.
We had some celebrities come in and kind of talk some smack about us and
stuff. It spurred from a joke that I saw a band hire Gary Holt
from Exodus slash Slayer on cameo and pretended like he was a fan of theirs.
Oh no, that's a great idea. You paid him twenty bucks man.
It's like, of course he did a saying, so I thought,
you more hilarious if we got all the celebrities just act like they have no
idea who they are. Of course most of them didn't, right, but
I gave I let him in on the joke and they all loved it.
So we have everybody from David Elphisen to Dana de Lorenzo from Ash versus Evil
Dead, just a bunch of them that we just I paid him. I
paid them on the cameo and I said, here's what we're doing as a
joke, and they all loved it. They're like, man, that's great,
I'm all for this. So that's a fantastic idea. I'll have to
check that out. I love that concept. Oh yeah, it's on our
YouTube thing. I wanted to do something for our twentieth so I was like,
all right, we'll do this, and they every celebrity I had to
go and edit obviously out because they would leave the band itself a message and
going hey I really dig this and I actually listen to you guys. And
we actually got some fans from just some of the celebrities. So it was
it was a lot of fun doing and I wish I could have edited a
little bit smoother, but I was kind of in the transition time of moving
myself, so I just kind of slapped it together really quick. But we
got some local guys here doing stuff and then yeah, some high profile there
and it was it was just something just to do. But yeah, it's
on YouTube, so you can find it there. That's great. I think
that we live in a time where if you can, if you can find
creative ways to market what you're doing. And some people get uncomfortable with the
word market when talking about music, but it you know, yeah, it's
like anything else. You have to you know, if you could be the
greatest band in the world, but if nobody has an opportunity to hear you,
you know, what's it matter? So you got to you got to
find creative ways to you know, and if you can connect to humor is
a great way to really connect with people, even though you know, the
music itself obviously is serious. But but doing what you did, connecting using
humor to connect with people, I think is a great way to promote what
you're doing because you know, if you can make somebody laugh, you know,
that's you know, you're in. You're in with that person, you
know, especially these days, because it's like, you know, people get
so sick of bands that just take themselves so seriously, and so it's one
of those things that I've always been a little bit goofy and I mean not
to get ahead of ourselves here, because I know love sick drugs coming up,
but uh, let's stay drug Definitely. We really lean into that more
on our YouTube thing, but we'll go into that obviously in that segment.
Yeah, yeah, but coilbacks same way. It's one of those we get
on stage, we'll be goofy sometimes up there, especially if it's one of
those shows where hardly anybody's shown up or it's one of those everything's going wrong
and they're like, hey, can you guys play later. I've got stories
and stories about all that stuff. We'll just go up there and just crack
some jokes and just play around and stuff and just try to have fun with
the audience. Yeah. By the way, Chris Kelly in the chat says,
I think Facebook Memories showed eleven years ago recently, so the current lineup
eleven years according to Chris, Yeah, eleven here. I've slept since then.
Well I barely slept since last night. But now I've told these guys
several times. I was like, you guys have been the longest, And
Chris is the whole reason I took a little hiatus over in two thousand and
eight and the only reason I went to go work for Walt Disney World.
And I wasn't sure at the time if I was coming back, and so
I kind of had a soft closing, so to speak. I told all
my friends, I'm like, this could be the last time you see me
playing quoebacks, so come check out this last gig. And because that was
when everybody was moving, Oh okay, I was like, well, the
scene's kind of going downhill here. And I was doing pyrotechnics for a living
for a while and that company wasn't getting as much time. And I'm like,
well, I like going to Disney World and they shoot fireworks every night,
so I could go try to get a job. So I told everybody.
I was like, I might end up going to Florida and stance.
I can't guarantee anything. Yeah, And I ended up coming back, but
everybody had moved right, So Chris Chris's dad actually got a hold of me
initially and said, you know, hey, hey, I said, the
drummer're gonna bring back coilback stuff. I was like, I don't have anybody.
Everybody's out, and he contacted me and he told me, hey,
I really love the songs if I can learn them, would you be willing
to start it back up? And I'm like, well, drummers are hard
to find down here. Every drummer in here is like ten bands. And
so I was like, I tell you what you learned, I'm moving into
a new place. You learned the songs, I'll give you a couple of
months. Come over if you know him, fine, we'll find some other
guys. And sure enough he did it. So I'm like, okay,
I guess I'm doing this again. Yeah, yeah, oh that's great.
That's great. Now, what was it So when you were kind of when
you thought it was winding down in two thousand and eight, did you at
the time did you have ideas about maybe starting a new musical project or were
you thinking about disengaging from it entirely. Oh no, no, I'm a
musician all the way through, so I'm always doing something. I really was
thinking, and I was like, okay, well, you know, I
think I took this as far as it can go, So maybe I'll work
on a different project or something like that. But that was the whole thing
about Coilback, Like we are metal, but we also do we kind of
lean a little bit rock. Too, Like, you know, we're not
super super hardcore like growling all the time and everything else. Which, don't
get me wrong, there's there's a lot of music I liked it. It's
like that too, but it's one of those that into a little bit of
everything. So when we started the band, I wanted a name where kind
of like Aerosmith, they can be anything. Would you like you're kind of
locked in yep. I wanted something that we could, you know, Okay,
if I want to write a rock song or a ballad or whatever,
we can do it. And so it's always been like that. So that's
what's been good about it is these guys are always up for anything that I
throw at them, and so it's we've managed to be able to do some
songs that sometimes they'll look at me like, I'll write like a Ballady type
thing and they're like really, and by the end of it they're like,
Okay, I kind of dig it. Yeah. By the way, your
comment about drummers being hard to find made me giggle because here, I guess
it's the same everywhere, because you know, everybody I talked to on this
show, you know, we we have we obviously have guests from other parts
of the country or even other parts of the world as you are in Texas.
But we also have a lot of local artists on the show, and
we hear from everybody that drummers are the hardest to find and that every drummer
is in multiple bands. It's almost become a running joke on the show.
Thing my theory about it is that when you're growing up and you first start
becoming interested in playing a musical instrument, you know, when you go to
have that talk with your parents about you know, I want to learn this,
I want to take lessons to learn whatever. If you say you want
to be a drummer, that's that and maybe the tuba are the two instruments
that they're going to actively discourage because they don't want all that noise. Oh
yeah, and it's hard. I mean, that's the thing is there's guitaristre
a diamond dozen because guitar is sexy, you know, and you can play
it by yourself. You can go to a party and pick up an acoustic.
You can't go to a party and go, let me get on this
drum set and place them exactly. So, yeah, it's just not it's
not an instrument that when you're by yourself you can do very well. You
kind of have to be around some people you can play with. Yeah,
yeah, And then same thing. Bass players are the second hardest thing to
find. Rhythm sections are tough, yep, yep, And it's one of
those things that I filled in for bass on certain bands, and I kind
of dig it, just because when you're playing lead guitar or you're playing like
like me when Coil Back, I do rhythm guitar and vocals. You stay
pretty busy on stage. But if you're just having to play bass, you
do all your rockstar poses and dance around or everything else is you don't feel
like you're having to think that hard. I'm a bass player myself, so
I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, rock it out up there and
just be. It's like for me, it's like, oh, this is
love. I love it. It's so much fun. Now given I will
tell people I play bass player like a guitar player, I'm not a bass
player bass player, yeah, but yeah, I can keep the rhythm going.
But if you want me to do a lot of slap pop or anything,
I'm not your man for that. So yeah, no, I know
what you mean. I play with a pick and I you know, and
I don't do anything. I can't do anything too technical. But when I
was playing in bands, when I was active in bands, I wasn't kind
of in high demand. Not because I was a great bass player, because
I think I'm probably pretty average, but just because you're right after drummers,
bass players is the next most difficult to find. And oh yeah, yeah,
I was in multiple bands at once just for that reason. Chris made
a comment too in the chat. He said the tryouts for bassis and guitarists
were great. Lol. We do some make a crack on the bass player
thing. On the it's more of an inside joke for us. I really
don't know how many people. We tried to make it funny for everybody.
But in that documentary, our bass player at the time, Andrew, we
had him dress up as several different bass players, yeah try out and they're
all based on a bass player we dealt with on that, and so it
was kind of an inside joke for us, because like we had one guy
come in and he talk the whole time and never learned the songs. He
was always like extra rehearsal, I'll have it, but he would stop us
from rehearsing. He'd give us like a thirty minute story about his bass and
why he named it that and all that, and we're like, okay,
cool dude, but can we at least practice up. Yeah. We had
one guy come in. It was the weirdest audition. We brought him in
and he came in and he goes, well, let me hear you play
some stuff first. I see if it's worth bringing in my gear. I'm
like okay. So we were like, not a great attitude to come in
with, but whatever, and played a couple of songs. He's like,
okay, I dig it, I'll come in. He brings his gear in,
plays one song with us, and goes, hey, let's try some
of my stuff. And I was like, who's auditioning? Who here?
Oh boy? And yet guitar thing the same thing. We had some virtuoso
guy come in and we tuned to standard tuning. We don't do drop z
or whatever. We we're in standard. We're not in the standard, we're
in d standard, but still we're in standard tuning yep. And so I
gave him the songs beforehand and he comes in. I said, okay,
this one starts an E and he goes, well, that's going to be
a problem. I'm like huh, and he goes, well, this guitar
is open A and this one's and they're all Floyd Roses, so it's not
like you can just eat three tune. And I'm sitting there going, okay,
so you can't play a basic E chord right now because that's and he's
like, I'll come up with something. And I think he was just in
his scales the whole time while we were playing songs. I'm like, is
he even paying attention over So Chris is looking at me going is this normal?
I'm like, in my world, yeah, this is how my auditions
have always gone. That's why I wasn't so up on just trying to find
a bunch of guys for a band, because it's it's a weird thing around
here. Yeah, Chrissy, he put that in the chat room in quotes,
I can't play E. Yeah. Yeah. We laugh about that so
much because I mean, I think for anybody that plays guitar, you know,
that's the most basic thing, especially you pedal right and just sit there
and go okay. It starts to eat and he's like Oh that's gonna be
a problem or like you're serious right now? Uh, great band from the
areas of the Chaman, says drop J Tuning drop J. Yes, Yeah,
it's just at a certain point, I'm just sitting there going like,
why don't you just play it on a bass if you really want to be
that low, because I mean, it just gets so muddy after a while.
Yeah. Yeah, it does some of the genty stuff the guys do
where they drop it and it's groovy and everything else. I mean that sound,
but it just you can only do so much with it. It's all
rhythmic right right exactly after that, so you can't really do any real technical
stuff because it just it just gets all muddy. Yeah. And so again,
like I said, there's a place for it, and there's some bands
around here that play like that, and I completely dig their sounds, so
I'm not, you know, basically talking down on it, but it's def
one of those for me is a songwriter that feels very limiting, yeah,
to have to do to do that, So it's one of those to me.
One of the bands here. You know, this band is standard tuning
LSD is we're drop but just drop D and so it's one of those things.
It's like it still leads you a lot of room to be able to
play around with all of it. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
Now, are you guys playing out? I know you mentioned it. It's
a little tough right now in Dallas in terms of lack of venues. Are
you guys playing a lot of shows in other cities in the area, or
or are you just are you more focused on the on the studio work or
what do you what are you guys doing well, coilback. We're going in
the studio matter of fact tomorrow, oh wow, and we're gonna be finishing
up the next full length album. We kind of have a weird way we
released stuff. It was never intentional, but it just kind of ended up
this way. Is we tend to put out an EP that has four or
five songs on it, and then inevitably we go, you know, we
could have done a better job with those, So when we go do the
full album, well, usually if we like all those songs, re record
them after we've polished them more. Add in the songs that for instance,
the one you're talking about playing later, that one was just kind of released
as a single on its own, so we throw that on the album.
So we're going to do that and then record you know, two or three
more and then basically there's your full album and then the EP goes out of
print. Basically, oh okay. It's it's almost like having like, okay,
here's a sneak preview of what's coming, and now you get the full
album. But the EP versions tend to be slightly different because we do re
record them. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. To answer your question, I
kind of got off track. We are going to start playing more out with
Coilback. We just the bass player I told you about that was in that
documentary thing. He moved to Austin, So we're on a bass player for
a little bit. Right when we were starting to do more out of town
stuff again and it was so we're just kind of getting the new guy in
and getting him settled and everything else, and then we're gonna try to expand
out. Coilback is probably not gonna do a lot a lot of road stuff.
We tend to kind of just kind of do little small little stints here
and there. Yeah, but it's one of those things. But with it
being less venues and stuff, there are other cities in Texas that seem to
like our brand of metal a little bit more that we've got followings in and
stuff, So we're going to try to hit those cities up later, probably
next year. Okay, Okay, Well, let's we'll play this track Stalemate
and then now you're gonna be You're gonna be back with us on the other
side of this, talking about love Sick Drug, your other band and which
which I love. So we're gonna talk about that. Are you is anyone
else joining you for that segment? Billy Blair will be Okay, So you're
gonna disconnect and then reconnect with Billy on the line as well. Is that
how I can either stay on and then he can come back, or we
can do it. I'm not sure how to do it as a group thing,
so that'll be I know he's ready to sign on, so I don't
know if we have to do it separate or if there's a way to do
a group one here. You might go ahead, Jenny, So disconnect from
us and then skype him and then skype us, and then we'll be all
three on. You can add us after you. Yeah, I'll do that.
Awesome. That should work. Okay, cool, So looking forward to
talking with you on the other side and with Billy as well. And I
love this track, so we'll give this a spin. This is Coilback.
The track is called Stalemate and I really like this song. Thanks Lewin.
We'll talk with you in a few minutes, all right, see you in
a few all right, man, all right here it is. This is
Stalemate from Coilback. Let's see it all the side goes, say it all
the same? Se it all the side over, ring up the day,

there was something at the end there. The band is Love Sick Drug and
Jenny and I are back with Love Sick Drug. We have Lou Morris via
Skype as well as well. Lou. Let's make sure you're there, can
you hear us? Yep, I'm here, and I managed to not only
drag Billy Blair with me, but we also now have Chris Carnage the drummer.
Awesome, awesome, welcome guys, so welcome to all three of you.
And uh sorry, we're gonna yeah, I don't, I don't mean
to. We're gonna step on each other a little bit. Sometimes with Skype
is a little bit of a delay, but that's all right, hey,
guys. I love the Love the band a great, great sound. And
now who's who's the singer? Aaron Aaron Garrett? Okay, okay, yeah,
I like her voice a lot, especially on We're Gonna Play when we
wrap up the segment We're gonna play the Trail, I wanted to save that
for the end. I love her vocal on that, such a such a
such a great song. But now, obviously, Lou, you're in both
Love Sick Drug and Coilback? Are either of the other two of you also
in Coilback? Chris is the one that was commenting earlier. Yes, he's
the Coilbag drummer, and just most recently he's the newest member of Love Sick
Drugs. So he just joined up with Love Say Drug. Oh okay,
well congratulations Chris, thank you. And Billy, how long have you been
in Love Sick Drug? Ever since we started? Okay please? The one
that threw us all together? What we're going on? Five years? Yeah?
Yeah, twenty nineteen, so yeah, yeah like that? Yeah,
okay, very cool. So how did Love Sick Drug come about? Because
obviously, Lou, you know you've you've had Coiled Back for more than twenty
years. How did this project come about a little bit of a different sound
obviously, and you've got you've got a female singer. But what's the genesis
of Love Sick Drug Billy? You started this mass you? Yeah, I'm
going to say I had to kill do you have a band? And I've
worked with Lou before. He was a fill in for my other band,
Junk, and I messed up with him really well, and I was just
like, you know what, I would like to start something new with Lou.
And then you know, we wanted I wanted a female singer. And
then we went through, you know, a few recruits. I mean,
we had another lineup and it didn't work out, you know how, just
like everything else is just you know, you make it work at the end,
whether you have to kick some people out and yeah, you know,
but yeah, so now we get the lineup that that really connects and is
really solid and that's you know, short story or nutshell there. Yeah.
Yeah, is Love Sake Drug? Are you playing out a lot or you
know, Lou we talked earlier about It's it's a little difficult in terms of
venues. I don't know if if this is this band more active live then
coiled back, or is it a similar kind of a situation. Oh yeah,
Oh yeah, Lovestick drug is definitely gonna end up being a road band.
I mean, it's one of the things that we opened up for Tesla
last night at House of Blues, and we've played with power Man five thousand,
A, Torturers all that. So we're buddies with well, I want
to say buddies were not like close friends, but we do know Josh and
Nita Strauss and all them, and so we've talked with them about trying to
go on the road with them a couple of times too. So yeah,
we're definitely Love Stick Drugs definitely gonna be out there and really hitting everything.
Oh that's awesome. Yeah, so you got a good thing going here,
and looks like you've too. I'm looking at your band camp. Looks looks
like you've already released a fair amount of music. So that's great, that's
great. How many how many songs does this project have at this point?
Do you think? Can you put a number on it as far as original
songs? We have eleven total right now and it just letting you know,
give you the scoop. We are about to release the full album very very
shortly. Oh really cool cover everything excellent, excellent. Uh where do you
guys record? We h, There's a place over here called Session Works.
Jeff Mount's a producer. He actually works with a lot. He's kind of
one of those it's best kept secrets, so to speak. He's worked with
a lot of people like Quincy Jones and all them. He's he does a
lot of leads. A tripping Daisy box set that's coming that he actually they
send him the masters to go back to remaster and all stuff. So he's
really good at job, really good old school producer too. I mean,
if if you want to record a two inch tape, he's got the equipment.
But I mean we go digital just so we got some options. But
like, he does it all and he's very much in this wheelhouse of if
you can't do it for real, don't do it. He's not going to
auto tune you to death or anything like that. Oh okay, well that's
good. Yeah, Well and that makes sense because the sound of this band
is very sort of raw and uh you know, not something that certainly I
would imagine would require you know, a lot of effects or anything like that.
Very raw and direct sound, which is uh, which is what I
like about it. Oh yeah, we very much are a little bit a
little bit punk rock. I'd say it's one of those things. It's like
we will we go in there and we record it for real. We don't
try to correct a whole bunch of it with processing and stuff like that.
If if we can play it in the studio, we can play it for
you live. Yeah. And uh, who who writes the songs? You
all write together or how does that work? Yeah, I mean everybody contributes.
I'd say me and Billy are pretty much the main writers. Billy does
the bulk of the music and I do the bulk of the lyrics, but
we also trade off. I mean Billy's had some lyrical input, I've had
some musical input. So yeah, And if you guys all been a part
of the music scene in that area for a while in other bands. I
was reading the bio on band camp and it seems like you guys, I
mean, Lou obviously we talked about your experience earlier, especially with a coilback
haven't been around so long, But Billy and Chris, what about you guys?
I get the impression that you've all got a lot of experience in the
scene down there. Oh. Yeah, I've been doing this forever, man.
I mean I've had so many bands twenty plus years, and you know
it's always like, oh, this is just a band that's going to do
it now. It's just a beg going to do it now, right,
But this one is definitely doing it. So you know, it's just this
just that thing, you know, it's it's it's our culture and and we
just we just keep doing it. Yeah. Well, I mean you've obviously
got a good thing going and you're making some progress with it, and and
great connections and uh, how did how did it come about, by the
way, working with and and forgive me what was his name again? The
producer that you're working with, Jeff Mount? How did it come about working
with Jeff? How did that? How did you make that connection? Previously
with Coilbag? But I was recommended with him, I always. I mean,
Billy will tell you. Me and Billy, we we have a lot
of input. We give the producers a lot of times and it's hard to
find ones that will listen to your input a lot of times. Yeah they're
so oh no, I know the best way to do it, So you
just need to let me do it. And we come in there and we'll
do some goofy stuff sometimes and everything else. And Jeff's great. He'll humorous
and stuff. Even if he thinks it's going to be stupid, he'll humor
us. It works sometimes it doesn't. Billy will tell you about space guns.
Oh yes, space guns. Yeah, yeah, we had a song.
We got a song with some space guns in there, and Billy uses
the space gun stage out. Oh yeah, it came out as a joke.
And then but now I use it live. I actually found the space
gun and connect that with my the pickups on the guitar and yeah, what
was what does it make? Like a laser sound effect or something? Oh
that's cool because a very stunky puke. What's that? No, we we
put it. If you listen to our song Zombies, it's got a very
long ending bunch of a bunch of noise. We added the laser of uh
space cut effect because I was like, we need space gun in there.
Oh wow, but they put it in there. It kind of came as
a joke because you said you're playing the trails. I mean, you know
how it sounds. And we had originally Jeff had a bunch of sound effects
and we thought about starting it with like maybe you know, like a gun
cocking or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, I've just played us his
whole library, so it just sounded like a war zone suddenly all his gun
effects. But there was a space gun, and me and Billy just joked
about putting a space gun at the beginning of the trail, just because it
would make no sense, right and Jeff and so Billy's like, I really
want space guns. So I was like, we'll find a spot. We'll
find a spot. So yeah, when we're mixed down, we're like throw
space guns and zombies. Oh there you go. Oh that's cool. I'll
fill listen to that. Well, it's been a running joke, but I
mean it ended up we did it for real, and I mean it's fun.
Billy does it on stage now, so it's a lot of fun.
Yeah. No, that's awesome. Now, what can you tell us about
this track the trail because we're gonna we're gonna play this in a in a
couple of moments, and I love this song so much. And Lou you
wrote the lyrics size sup, Yes, I wrote the lyrics. Billy is
ninety nine percent of the music. I mostly just do the slide bits on
that. So, Billy, you tell them because I did the first Yeah,
did the interest the intro slide. That's me, So I did.
I'm an actor as well. So I was on set with I sayah,
Washington, you might you guys might know him. Yes, But so we
did a movie called of Course of Canada, which is available everywhere, and
we were at the rat party and then he found out I was in a
band. He goes, hey, why don't you write a song for the
soundtrack. I go, you know what, I already have an idea.
Oh wow, Well, so I tell the guys. I told Lou and
I go, man, I got this cool idea. I go, we
got to go, you know, kind of like the Bond jovial effect.
Yeah, because it's a Western So I'm like and I already had the idea.
So I played it for the guys and and then uh yeah, So
we had the melody and then we wrote it almost instantly, and then we
went in there and then we recorded it send it to the production company,
and then they loved it. They if you if you go and watch the
movie, we're at the end credits, Oh wow fits beautifully. Oh very
cool. Yeah, this song, I mean, it's an epic track.
I just love it. Thank you. Oh yeah. We played it last
night and the crowd immediately got their attention as soon as Aaron started belting out
that intro. Yeah, got the most response. Now, what's the name
of the movie again? That this is in Corsicicana Corsicana. Okay, okay,
it's god. It's got Isaiah Washington the League. He directed it as
well. Yeah, I think it's not everywhere you get a platforms Okay,
okay. Yeah, it's an epic track and I love Aaron's vocal on it
and really in the movie, so you should definitely check it out. Billy
in the movie, he plays a really dark character, but he does an
excellent job. Oh yeah, no, we will. I've been doing for
almost thirty years. Oh no kidding, Oh wow, cool? What do
you what do you like better? What do you like better? Music or
acting? Okah, apples and oranges for me? Man, Yeah, I
like you both. But you know, I mean the the acting gigs they
pay more, no doubt, no doubt. Yeah, uh see you you've
probably seen Billy in the movies and didn't realize it. He he he's been
in Machete, he's been in a lead of Battle Angel. He's been in
Sin City too. Oh yeah, yeah, a lot of stuff, a
