And just a little bit, I believe our friend EASYG is going 10 00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:23,319 to be calling in with his weekly entertainment report. Unfortunately we don't have Dank 11 00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:26,719 Sinatra here again this week to participate in that, because I feel that they 12 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,799 really kind of elevated you know what. I think they pushed EASYG to do 13 00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:34,799 even better. I think they helped him to they inspired him, if you 14 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,000 will, to up his game. So we'll see, we'll see how this 15 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,439 week goes when he calls in our friend EASYG with his weekly entertainment report and 16 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,640 then coming up in the second hour.

I've been hearing a lot and seeing a lot on social media 21 00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:06,879 about Andrew North and the Rangers, so that should be that should be really 22 00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:08,240 really cool.

One musycrophone was down. I don't know, 44 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,400 at a hard time hearing what he was saying. Uh huh uh huh. 45 00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:38,439 And yet you feel that they helped you elevate your game? Oh yeah, 46 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:45,000 why not? I've noticed you've it's great. You have music on almost every 47 00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:47,960 day now, it's great. Yes, I noticed you've adopted a mischievous laugh 48 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,719 recently. There. It is great, though, you know, it's great. 49 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,719 You have musical artists, you know something skype in or come in or 50 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,000 call on the phone, and that's great. Yeah, Jenny does all the 51 00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:03,280 booking and she does a fantastic job. And uh yeah, you know we 52 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,240 used to, uh prior to prior to twenty twenty three, we kind of 53 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,360 had musical guests, you know, two or three times a month, and 54 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,759 now it's more like two or three times a week, and it's it's great. 55 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,399 I'm enjoying it tremendously. Yeah, it's a great way they get there, 56 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,920 they get their music out there in this in this or yes, actually 57 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:25,279 I think this week it's four or four times this week, which is even 58 00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:28,600 better. Great. I love it. I love it. It's you know, 59 00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:30,879 as much as I love talking about politics, and I do, I 60 00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:35,120 am a political junkie, but there's something sort of music and talking about music 61 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,720 or any creative endeavor, it's almost like a palate cleanser, you know. 62 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,120 It It rejuvenates me. Yes, yes, because as much as I love 63 00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:47,000 politics and I do find it exhilarating, it can also be frustrating, and 64 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,639 it can be demoralizing, and you know, it can be a lot of 65 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,600 negative things. Too, so you take the good with the bad. But 66 00:04:54,519 --> 00:05:00,600 so so it's good. It's a good balance. Well definitely, yes, 67 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,439 yeah, a family like politics. This is your show, that's right. 68 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,480 And if you like Easy G's entertainment report, am I right? True? 69 00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:14,800 I guess you're right? I yes, not, Well, shall we get 70 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,480 to it? I can go ahead and hit your music. Yeah, might 71 00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:21,160 as well have my guess coming on forty five minutes, so we'll try to 72 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,079 we'll try to get out of here before then.

Yes, I remember you also used to call her April cushion. 88 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,519 It took you a while to learn her actual name for some reason. 89 00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:53,759 I don't know why, but uh huh, Well, anyways, you had 90 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,519 a mental block, went yes, I must have.

Uh huh. 93 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,079 And what you said, right, Bianca and Rare Ripley is a lot better 94 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:19,800 than China bulls. Oh, definitely no disrespect to China. I ran on 95 00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:25,879 the gossip on the on the yeah, on the internet that she's going to 96 00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:30,439 start wrestling some some men and then what trying it used to do? Oh, 97 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,800 yeah, I hope that's not true. I don't want to see that. 98 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,279 I don't like intergendern wrestling, you know as we do. But anyways, 99 00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:41,240 I let to give it a quick shout out to I ever do this, 100 00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:44,560 But m j F and Adam Cole what any performance last night? Thirty 101 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,680 minutes show on a match on on TV the resually never said that, never 102 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,560 had that many minutes on a on a TV wrestling show. I need to 103 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,720 find that match and watch it with Jenny MJF versus Adam Cole. I very 104 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,600 much want to see that was real w you guy, of course, and 105 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,319 it has been around lately because I could see been injured. Yes, but 106 00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:07,600 the gimmick was if he won last night, he would get a title shot 107 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:13,000 against m JF. So it since he'll ended in a draw and calls it 108 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,199 five more minutes that they want to give it to him n Ja Rain on 109 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:20,759 the door thirty minutes. Yeah, no, I need to see that. 110 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,160 Absolutely need to see it, definitely. I recommend anybody that can watch it. 111 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,959 Anyways, and of course that my question is impossible to have too much 112 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,720 wrestling on television. Ah, well, that's up to the out of a 113 00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:37,759 Collisidence on TNT eight to ten, and of course it's it is. It 114 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,399 is promoted as the c. Himpunk Show. Yes, that dummy in a 115 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,759 while. Uh oh, I like se him punk. I mean, I 116 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,320 don't agree with what he did during that that press conference there that of course 117 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,879 not media scrum. But one thing that the guy in their wrestling show on 118 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,600 ten minutes highlights of always good to bad and ugly and he's one of the 119 00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:03,559 his MGF slapping a pan we okay, taking his slim in his head, 120 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,799 his hat off. But I think it was just a plan, you know, 121 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,440 make him look like a bad guy. By the way, Now, 122 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:13,919 Melanie Liberty from the Great State of Vermont has a question in the Facebook lap 123 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,080 chat, because you know she loves the wrestling talk. She's she's very into 124 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:22,879 it. She says, why the dislike of intergender wrestling? Um, I 125 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,879 do not like any kind of a situation where you might have a where you 126 00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:33,440 have a man uh doing wrestling moves or any kind of striking or any kind 127 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,519 of violence at all on a woman. I do not like to see that. 128 00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:41,120 I don't like that now, um and I'm agree, I'm okay with 129 00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:48,840 Occasionally they'll have an intergender tag team match where it's right because as long as 130 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,240 there's no male on female violence. But I don't like to ever see circumstance 131 00:09:54,279 --> 00:10:00,360 any even even the potential of even the teasing of male on female VI Ellen's 132 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,159 absolutely is uh. It turns me off. I don't like to see that. 133 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,159 You think m j f slapping the hat off was it was a plant 134 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,600 for one of those fans make him look like a bad guy. Oh? 135 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,000 Probably, I don't know. I haven't seen it. Melanie also says through 136 00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:16,879 coffee is somebody's face. I don't like that one. That's not right when 137 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:20,000 you spend somebody's face, I don't like that. Right. That's all. 138 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,559 We're boored, Melanie says, expressing why she loves wrestling. She says, 139 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,440 yum yum, oiled up dudes and spandex trying to cuddle each other. That 140 00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:33,000 isn't exactly what happens, but you know, when you have a wrest hold 141 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,039 like you have, like somebody has the other guy in a headlock or something 142 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:41,240 that could look like coddlin I suppose, yeah, I didn't. I didn't 143 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,519 see it because when they showed it on Wrestling Live, this guys show one 144 00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:48,799 Internet he said m j MP was worrying on some you know those things you 145 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:52,679 wear around your you know when your rest is says Vince was right because we 146 00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,559 do that promo last week he's saying, Adam cole vincing, you know, 147 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,879 it couldn't be the name with a company.

Don't they say a publicity is good publicity? Well, not that 152 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,720 that gets overstated at times, but basically yes, true. But that guy 153 00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:26,720 Breshaw, if you wrote a book about that? He wrote a book and 154 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:30,559 I did read it.

It's called the Gunstock, 184 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,039 my owned resort. So I think if I'm gonna advertise these events, 185 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,000 it's important that people going to the right place. Yeah, I think Guildford 186 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,240 is like we're in Guildford. Is that people might say that on the child 187 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:39,919 line, but where the heck is that?

Now, Scott Robinson said, now, I think he meant the 194 00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:09,759 previous announcement, but I'm not sure which one someone'll go with that one. 195 00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:16,559 Scott says that announcement should get the air horns. Oh that was not the 196 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:24,279 right one announcement. I need a different air horn. All right, there 197 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:30,279 we go. Anyways, you can be playing. I don't hear it for 198 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,360 some reason. I don't hear the background noise. I don't know why, 199 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,200 but I don't know. He pats free sception. Yes, as whom they 200 00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:39,600 You've played it and the next month, in a couple of weeks, he's 201 00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:45,039 here playing July eighth, one, one thirty pm at Alvern House Vineyard in 202 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,120 Brookline.

Who's 204 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,480 playing that? Katie Katie Dobbins, O, Katie Dobbins, that's who we're 205 00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:00,840 talking about. If you announced another show. But the it's way in the 206 00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:03,559 future, so we want way in the future. What is your what are 207 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,840 your parameters? Easygy? How far in the future are you willing to go? 208 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,720 Uh? It's actually the fall time right after you know that if you 209 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,679 follow the pet White morning starts after his birthday, right, So anything after 210 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,320 Peter's birthday you will not be announcing in your entertainment report. I think it's 211 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,080 birthday is the eighteenth, and I think I'm right about that. I might 212 00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:30,720 be wrong. Do you think it's the eighteenth of one? Isnt September? 213 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,000 I support that way. Eighteenth of September is Peter White's birthday? Is what 214 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,759 you're saying, right? Or wrap it up with April? Of Coursemen, 215 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,399 you got a new song. We can play it next week, I believe, 216 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,440 And it's on every platform. It's called more than This Truck, more 217 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:46,879 Than This a couple of seconds of it. Well, she's a country artist, 218 00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:50,840 right, so we can play it next week because it's coming out in 219 00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:56,440 the twenty third. Oh will that be a world radio premiere? I have 220 00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:02,000 no idea. Probably let's assume it is. But yeah, well, what 221 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,600 you get to say it is? I guess Yeah, it's good to a 222 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,039 super one. Here he goes. He was telling everybody in May that she's 223 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,960 kind of more music in the future, So I guess the future has arrived. 224 00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:14,399 Apparently the future will be next week. Very exciting, right, in 225 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,799 the year ago in the springtime to release on all platforms a song called Smoke 226 00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:23,320 Smoke wasn't got in a Bear a few minutes. Yes, that's how we 227 00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:26,000 will end. There's a busy time. Comments, you've got more gigs. 228 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:30,600 I'd like to say this name in more gigs. Well, and then we'll 229 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,720 we'll put it in in the summertime. Right, So you're not going to 230 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:38,480 be telling us those today. Is that because they're in the future. Now, 231 00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:41,440 they're in the summertime, so it won't be good. Yeah, you 232 00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:45,200 released a lot of gigs, but they don't have so they're not time or 233 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,759 place. So they hold off by announcing those. So they're there later in 234 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:52,559 the summer. But they're not technically in the future, is what you're saying. 235 00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,440 Well, they're kind of in the future, I guess kind of future. 236 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,799 It depends on how literally do you want to take the word future. 237 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,960 There's so many different ways you could take that word. Yeah, yeah, 238 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,960 it's a good word future. Yeah. Anyways, she's back at four o'clock 239 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,480 in the Golden and Manchester in the patio and it's Mondays and June twenty six 240 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:21,279 and third.

But I don't have any ticket information right 246 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,640 now, so it's to be announced. Why is it? Why is that 247 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,799 it called the jelly Roll Tour? Is that the only thing that's available at 248 00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:52,440 concession? No idea? Yeah, how to give us some name? I 249 00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:56,759 mean, I would hope Backyard Baptism. I would hope that there would at 250 00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:00,599 least be maybe some beverages to wash down the jelly rolls, I would assume. 251 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,000 So, yeah, I hope.

So that will 423 00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:19,920 be uh, that will be a lot of fun. Um. Something Jenny 424 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,519 sent me something that she thought might be appropriate for Pride Month. It is 425 00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:30,319 Pride month and we do support that here of course, in fact, DJ 426 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,039 Reckless, who I think is going to try to come in tomorrow because he 427 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:37,599 was on the news the other day and it's pretty cool. But we'll we'll 428 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,240 save that clip for tomorrow's show because he wanted to be there for that. 429 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:45,839 But Channel nine did a quick uh he was asked about his feelings about the 430 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,440 Trump indictment and so forth. But um, but you know, he's Djane 431 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,359 for Manchester Pride and of course the hop Knot does a lot for h or 432 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,000 Queen City Pride, and the hop Knot does a lot for that too, 433 00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:00,240 of course. But um, I wanted to I'll here this audio. It's 434 00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:06,240 it's only a few minutes. But let me just for contexts, I'll tell 435 00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:13,799 you what this is from. So the person in this clip is named Jackie 436 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:19,680 Goldberg, and it says here in the description of the video, LA Unified 437 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,279 School District President Jackie Goldberg and openly gay lesbian who has lived with her partner 438 00:33:24,359 --> 00:33:30,200 in Echo Park since nineteen sixty seven, denounces protesters, including someone who burned 439 00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:35,720 a teacher's rainbow flag. Who better to lead the district's way, as outsiders 440 00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:40,400 have pilgrimaged to North Hollywood's Sataquoi Elementary School, if I'm saying that correctly, 441 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,279 to complain, among other things, about the Great Book of Families, which 442 00:33:45,319 --> 00:33:50,359 Goldberg notes has one sentence about families who have two mommies or two daddies. 443 00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:52,319 Yeah, you know, book banning is a big thing now, which just 444 00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:55,319 is incredible to me in the year twenty twenty three. I remember when I 445 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,759 was a kid, like I remember seeing stories in the eighties on television about 446 00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:01,799 banning books, and here we are, all these decades later, and we're 447 00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:07,880 banning books. But the reason I'm gonna play this clip, and you know, 448 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,159 it really struck Jenny when she watched it, and it really struck me 449 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,239 too. I thought it was very powerful. So the name of this clip 450 00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:17,519 is, and this is her speaking at at a public meeting, the name 451 00:34:17,559 --> 00:34:22,400 of the clip is, how dare you make them afraid? Because you are? 452 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,480 And I'm not gonna say anything more about it. I'm gonna play it 453 00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:30,719 again. It's about four minutes. She does at one point get pretty animated. 454 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,599 So if that freaks you out here in a person passionate and animated about 455 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:38,280 a subject that they're speaking on, then this might not be for you. 456 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,480 Just for warning, and that's another way of saying she does raise her voice, 457 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,559 but she gets pretty passionate here, but rightfully so in my opinion. 458 00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:52,480 So I'm gonna share this. I'm gonna share this with you now and again. 459 00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:55,000 This is from and by the way, the reason part of why this 460 00:34:55,159 --> 00:35:00,400 is relevant is not only because do I think the way she speaks here is 461 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,320 very powerful, but also we're talking about the school district where you know, 462 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,760 there was it was in the news the other day. They're actually a fistfight 463 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,840 broke out because you know, you've got people showing up very angry and hateful 464 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,079 about well, people who are different from them, and apparently they want to 465 00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:21,599 make sure our schools are not doing anything to uh, you know, teach 466 00:35:21,639 --> 00:35:25,480 our kids that you know, some people are different than you and that's okay. 467 00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:29,760 Apparently it's you know, it's very important to some people that children are 468 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,440 taught that, no, you have to be afraid of people who are different 469 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:37,679 than you are. For whatever reason, I felt like we were making a 470 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:43,000 lot of progress in this country, but I feel like we're backsliding. Yeah. 471 00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:45,119 Mike and Queen City Mike and the Chatman. Mike from Queens City Cabinetry 472 00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:50,320 says, book banning, burning bras. It's all a quick road to hell. 473 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,239 Yeah, it's it's just incredible that this is where we are in the 474 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,480 year twenty twenty three. But this is where we are, and all right, 475 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,519 I've enough. Here's uh, this is Jackie Oldberg did the entire book. 476 00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:09,280 It had one sentence. Families can also be two parents that are mothers 477 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:17,119 and two parents that are fathers. They were told the parents at that school. 478 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,000 Hey, I'm sorry the audio and this is lower than I thought. 479 00:36:22,039 --> 00:36:24,760 So I'm gonna start that. We're not far in, but I just want 480 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,800 to make sure we get the whole thing, So I'm gonna start from the 481 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,039 beginning. It kind of catches her in mid sentence, but she's holding up 482 00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:37,840 a book that was banned at the school. She's holding up a book about 483 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,559 having to I forgot the title having two mommies and you know, oh, 484 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:49,559 you know again to some people, that's very scary. But oh, Melanie 485 00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:52,800 says in the chat room, that's right. Ellinois just passed a law against 486 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,159 book banning. Yeah, that's good, that's good. I'm proud to have 487 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,559 spent a good chunk of my childhood in the great state of Illinois. All 488 00:36:59,599 --> 00:37:00,920 right, here we go. I'm starting this over from the beginning. I'm 489 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,519 sorry, and I appreciate your patients, but it's worth it, and you're 490 00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:12,760 the entire book. It had one sentence. Families can also be two parents 491 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:21,239 that are mothers and two parents that are fathers. They were told the parents 492 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,679 at that school that if it was very difficult for their children to be in 493 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,000 that room, that they didn't have to be in the room. They announced 494 00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:37,079 the assembly told all the parents, this is a problem for you. We 495 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:42,280 get it. You know. I've been confronting this issue my entire life. 496 00:37:43,559 --> 00:37:50,480 I have been threatened, I've been harassed. I've been denied jobs because of 497 00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:53,800 who I am and who I love. Now, a lot of people out 498 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,519 there I talk to outside satokite. Oh I have a gay cousin, I 499 00:37:58,599 --> 00:38:04,719 have a gay nephew. I can't be b S. B S. You 500 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,360 can be homophobic and have a gay friend, a gay neighbor, a gay 501 00:38:07,519 --> 00:38:10,880 son, a gay anything. Talked. All the gay kids that get thrown 502 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,599 out of their houses and onto the streets by parents who say I won't have 503 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:20,719 you in my house any longer and tell me that having a gay relative means 504 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:27,280 that you're not homophobic. But here's what really scares me. When you have 505 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,320 two or three days of this kind of chaos, of people screaming at the 506 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:37,880 top of their lungs outside a school that read a book with one sentence in 507 00:38:38,039 --> 00:38:44,719 it that said, yeah, guess what families can include? Two moms and 508 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,960 two dads. By the way, at the little discussion at the school after 509 00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:50,519 that, as soon as the book was over, one of the little girls 510 00:38:50,559 --> 00:38:53,559 sitting at my knees said, I have two mommies, But a little boy 511 00:38:53,599 --> 00:39:00,079 on my other side said, I have five grandmas. The idea that there 512 00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:04,400 are different kinds of families, the people screaming out of the streets, they 513 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,639 didn't get a chance to find out about that because they made a decision based 514 00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:14,079 on hearsay. They made a decision based on agitators, not from their community, 515 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,199 but from outside their community, who saw an opportunity to take advantage of 516 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,480 the real fears of people. I want to be very, very very clear. 517 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:31,239 Nobody has to accept me. I'm not looking for your acceptance, but 518 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:36,119 you better treat me the same way you treat everybody else. That's how we 519 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,559 live in this country. You don't have to love me You don't have to 520 00:39:39,679 --> 00:39:45,239 like me. You can think on the devil incarnate, but you better treat 521 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,800 me like a decent human being, because that's how I treat you, even 522 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:53,320 though you don't believe that I have the right to exist. I am very 523 00:39:53,480 --> 00:40:00,719 tired of having young people and adults in the lgbt HE community. Here are 524 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:06,760 three days of yelling and screaming about this. What do you think that did 525 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,960 to them? What do you think that did to every gay teacher, every 526 00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:15,800 gay custodian, every gay worker in this city, every gay kid. What 527 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,679 do you think that did to them? It made them afraid? It made 528 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:30,639 them afraid? How dare you make them afraid because you are. I'm sorry. 529 00:40:30,199 --> 00:40:35,280 I told you this was personal. I went through with this. My 530 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:43,199 son was harassed because he had two mommies, But my grandchildren aren't. That's 531 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:50,119 progress. But I say to all of you, nobody in this district will 532 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,760 ever ever sexualize any kid for any reason, in any classroom, in any 533 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,519 way, shape or form. And those of you who believe that this might 534 00:40:59,639 --> 00:41:05,719 happen are allowed to read the curriculum materials, are invited into the assemblies with 535 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,360 your children, are invited not to have your children go to the assemblies. 536 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:15,199 I do not believe in forcing a parent to have a child attend assembly that 537 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:21,800 they feel would be violating their values. That's fine with me. We don't 538 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:28,920 all have to agree. In fact, none of us all agree. Well 539 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:35,199 that's it. That's the clip. How dare you make them afraid? Because 540 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:44,159 you are. I really have nothing to add because it would be impossible for 541 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,360 me to say it any better than that, or to sum it up any 542 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:52,079 better than that. So good on her again. Her name is Jackie Goldberg 543 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:59,239 and I'm a fan. We're gonna wrap up this segment though, because I 544 00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:02,360 saw a musician looking person in the hallway, so I think our guest is 545 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,800 here, So we're gonna take a break. We'll play a little something from 546 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,760 I found a song.

Isaac Banks in the chat room says Andrew North, 624 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:14,199 how are you, chippen Dale? How are you doing? Gentlemen? That's 625 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,239 how they talk in Greensboro, North Carolina. That's where Isaac Banks is from. 626 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,760 Well, I'm doing awesome. It's beautiful here today. It's been a 627 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,920 really nice day. Yes, yes, you know that. When I first 628 00:53:23,599 --> 00:53:28,000 started to become aware of you guys, I had seen um Fredo from Dank 629 00:53:28,039 --> 00:53:30,920 Sinatra. He had. You probably saw this he had. This was a 630 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,280 while ago. He had posted on social media something about he was thinking about 631 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,360 started in a band called Andrew South and the Rangers. I still hope he 632 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,039 does. I think that would be incredible. That would be great, and 633 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,920 you guys could tour together. I know I was gonna say I would love 634 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,119 to be their opening act. Yeah, there you go, There you go. 635 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:52,360 Where does the name come from? Hey, well that's a long story. 636 00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:57,840 Well we got time Andrew. When when Andrew first met us, he 637 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,239 was doing a solo gig, is just Andrew of the North. Oh yeah, 638 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,199 we were. We were still trying to figure out how to name the 639 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,719 rest of the band. And the first gig we were at at True Brew, 640 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:14,760 which sadly no longer exists, and conquered and we were Andrew of the 641 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:21,079 North and Friends or something. And Andrew introduced us to the crowd as and 642 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,719 this is chip and this is Dale. Yeah, some woman out there goes 643 00:54:24,039 --> 00:54:29,320 chipping Dale like the Rescue Rangers. So we're like, oh, we'll be 644 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,039 Andrew of the North and the Rescue Rangers way too long. That eventually got 645 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,159 you know, short to Andrew North and the Rangers. But that's where Rangers 646 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,360 comes from because some women screamed out Rescue Rangers. Oh okay, okay, 647 00:54:40,519 --> 00:54:45,559 that makes sense. Um, you guys got a bunch of live albums. 648 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,079 I mean it seems like, um, I mean you're really are you kind 649 00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:52,679 of really just more focused on being a live band, because it looks like 650 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,679 you've got a lot of live stuff. We're geared towards the live show. 651 00:54:54,760 --> 00:55:00,000 Every every show is different. We improvise a lot, setlist is always different, 652 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,679 and we try to keep you know a lot of new covers entering rotation, 653 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:07,440 that kind of stuff. And so yeah, our our model is to 654 00:55:07,519 --> 00:55:12,079 share as much of that as broadly as possible. And then the new live 655 00:55:12,119 --> 00:55:15,280 album we have Thanks for the Warning Volume one is sort of a selection of 656 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,239 stuff that we thought was was really noteworthy from the last year. But we 657 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,760 also just we publish everything, so we record shows on our own and put 658 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:29,800 them up on bandcamp and on archived dot organ things like that, just to 659 00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:35,079 just share it. I don't think there's any benefit in this day and age 660 00:55:35,079 --> 00:55:37,559 to kind of keeping that stuff close. I think it's it's nice to put 661 00:55:37,639 --> 00:55:39,400 out. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. I opened the show today with 662 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:45,639 Infinity Spinning, which was cool because I usually opened with a long song, 663 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,119 you know, let people get tuned in and whatnot, and yeah, great 664 00:55:49,159 --> 00:55:52,719 stuff. Yeah. That's the challenge actually with this album and promoting this album 665 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:54,719 is every track on it is like seven or eight minutes long. Yeah. 666 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:59,360 Yeah to radio shows and they're like, yes, a little long. Yeah, 667 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,000 yeah, we don't we don't mind that here, but we're we're unusual. 668 00:56:01,199 --> 00:56:04,159 Yeah, you got a couple of shorter ones. It looks like the 669 00:56:04,199 --> 00:56:07,320 shortest one on this album is Thing about the Woods. That's only four and 670 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,599 a half minutes. That's a good radio length. But yeah, everything else, 671 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,880 Yeah, you're right, at sucks. We are not known for our 672 00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,360 short songs. Yeah, but when you when you play live, does that 673 00:56:17,519 --> 00:56:22,280 kind of vary with these songs because there is some improvisation. I mean, 674 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:23,360 it is a lot of that just kind of feeling your way through it, 675 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,280 and then yeah, it depends on where things are at on any given night. 676 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,199 We don't buy into the pure jam band model where a song is kind 677 00:56:30,199 --> 00:56:36,079 of go like h to the left and end up at you know, eighteen 678 00:56:36,119 --> 00:56:39,440 minutes or something. But there's there's a lot of a lot of padding built 679 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,159 in where you know, if the vibe on a given night is to take 680 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,800 something and you know, make it a little weird or explore something that we 681 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,920 find while we're in the middle of it, well we'll just jump right into 682 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,400 that and go with it. And um, So that that puts things on 683 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:57,840 the longer side because I think we all as players really enjoy having that room 684 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,360 to explore, and I think our audience really likes it too. Yeah, 685 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,400 drives Chip crazy, So we like to do that. I appreciate that guy 686 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,440 does it interesting adventure. I mean I I generally like it. I mean, 687 00:57:10,519 --> 00:57:15,400 I love the level of talent in this band. Yeah, it's probably 688 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,280 the best most talented band I've ever played with, oh course, which is 689 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,320 really nice. Cool. So it's a lot of fun playing of these guys. 690 00:57:21,639 --> 00:57:23,360 So so it started so the band, as far as it being a 691 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:27,400 band, it started with the three of you. But then there's there's other 692 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,159 but you have other musicians who play with you, right, Yeah, we're 693 00:57:30,239 --> 00:57:32,840 six piece, okay, six pieces? So yeah, because I saw a 694 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,679 couple of different pictures and I think, yeah, I think the most reason 695 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,159 why I had seen there were six of you. Okay, So who else 696 00:57:38,239 --> 00:57:40,239 is there who's not here with us? And by the way, I feel 697 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,159 free to make up any crazy stories about why they're not here, because because 698 00:57:44,159 --> 00:57:45,000 we enjoy that, have fun with it. If you want to, it's 699 00:57:45,079 --> 00:57:51,920 up to you. So I think the first the first to bring up is 700 00:57:52,039 --> 00:57:58,440 Rob the Mysterious Stranger O'Brien, who is um a saxophone player by trade, 701 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,239 but he also plays You may have seen pictures of it, this like silver 702 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,519 sci fi looking thing. Yeah, it's called an aerophone, okay. And 703 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:12,559 it's been a real education for me as to how win synths work. And 704 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,880 so it took us a little while because he would come in and like play 705 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,280 a clarinet sound or something and be like, it kind of sounds like a 706 00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,440 clarinet, but not quite. And like when when we were were first exploring 707 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,039 that turf, I was like, I don't know if this is cool or 708 00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:29,880 not. And then it's sort of overtime has become the coolest thing ever because 709 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,800 it's on stage and everyone's like, I have never seen one of those before, 710 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,960 I have no idea what it is. And we don't have a guitarist 711 00:58:36,039 --> 00:58:39,119 in our band, and so we actually have him rip electric guitar solos on 712 00:58:39,239 --> 00:58:46,119 that thing. Wow. Yeah, it's unique. Yeah. There's always one 713 00:58:46,159 --> 00:58:49,360 person at the show who will come up, you know, like either during 714 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,119 a sepreaker at the end and say, what is that thing? Oh I 715 00:58:52,199 --> 00:58:54,400 can imagine? Yeah, yeah, Well that's cool too because it gives you, 716 00:58:54,519 --> 00:58:57,639 i mean, you know, to be able to to really stand out 717 00:58:57,719 --> 00:59:00,719 and have something that nobody else has and nobody else does. I mean, 718 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,840 that's that's awesome. Well, and Rob just keeps getting better and better with 719 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,159 it as far as the sounds he finds and the spots he finds to fit 720 00:59:07,239 --> 00:59:14,719 in where it's he has, you know, just these unbelievable, like weird 721 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,960 synthesizer sounds that are almost like sounds like it's through a bunch of effects pedals, 722 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:22,559 and oh wow, it's super cool. Yeah, you'll hear it on 723 00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:27,000 on our songs. And now that you've now that we've said erphone, you'll 724 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,039 start to listen and go yeah, oh maybe that's that thing. Yeah, 725 00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:34,039 yeah, yeah, oh that's cool. Yeah you said and you you call 726 00:59:34,119 --> 00:59:37,960 them the mis? Was it the mysterious serious stranger? I have to sounds 727 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:43,719 like there's a story there. We have a concrete story. You know. 728 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:49,960 He's sort of ever evolving between uh different uh stage attire that he chooses, 729 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,480 the different times that he does or doesn't show up for a show. Um. 730 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,239 I mean initially when we got started, I think it was more the 731 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,559 fact that he was not able to make practice a lot of the time because 732 01:00:00,599 --> 01:00:04,960 his job took him away. Yeah, and so whenever he showed up, 733 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,400 he was the sort of stranger who kind of just popped in and everything. 734 01:00:07,599 --> 01:00:10,880 Yeah. Yeah. It would usually just roll into a show without practicing at 735 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,880 all, and we would, you know, maybe send him some stuff from 736 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,440 practice, but like here's what we're working on. Yeah, you show up 737 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,000 and just slay at the show. He'd be like, okay, cool, 738 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,679 Like we don't know who that guy came out on stage and I did his 739 01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:28,480 thing with his sci fi toaster. Yeah that's great. And so that, 740 01:00:28,719 --> 01:00:31,239 that, in varying degrees, has continued. And yes, Robbed is like 741 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:36,199 he's a vibe like sometimes he'll show up dressed like mister Rogers. Sometimes he'll 742 01:00:36,239 --> 01:00:39,039 show up dressed like like, I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up in 743 01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:44,559 like shorts and an open leather jacket with no shirt on underneath. Yeah that 744 01:00:44,679 --> 01:00:47,480 kind of thing. Yeah, Oh that's cool, all right. So there's 745 01:00:47,559 --> 01:00:52,039 Rob and then and then who else? And then Jillian Rourke, who plays 746 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:58,400 baritone saxophone, and she, like most of us in the band, is 747 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,280 a recovering grown up um who came to us what two years ago now, 748 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:07,960 just yeah, a little less than two years ago. She met Rob at 749 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:15,639 a Fourth of July party and she is a pediatric thermatologist. And Rob was 750 01:01:15,679 --> 01:01:19,679 talking about our band and you know, playing music, and she was like, 751 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,239 well, I used to play baritone saxophone a long time ago, and 752 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,000 I'm dying to do something with it. And so Rob brought her to band 753 01:01:24,079 --> 01:01:31,320 practice, and um, she took that opportunity and ran with it like I've 754 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:37,239 never seen anybody run with anything before, like just fall in personality, fed, 755 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:44,639 absolutely perfect and just brings the best energy that just it's um. They 756 01:01:44,679 --> 01:01:46,199 contribute so much to what we do, and so it's been amazing to have 757 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,599 her on board. Very cool, yeah, very cool. Um. And 758 01:01:50,719 --> 01:01:53,679 then we have Randy Honeyman, who plays percussion and he's in every band and 759 01:01:53,760 --> 01:02:01,440 Conquered, which is kind of amazing. And we initially we had you know, 760 01:02:01,519 --> 01:02:05,639 a big show at the banking New Hampshire stage and Conquered and we were 761 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,000 looking to sort of pad the sound and you know, so we brought Randy 762 01:02:09,039 --> 01:02:13,559 on for that one gig and he came to a few practices and we're all 763 01:02:13,599 --> 01:02:15,719 like, wow, we all really get along really well, and it's really 764 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:21,360 nice having this extra layer on the sound. And so he um, you 765 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,719 know, has really quickly gotten up to speed on learning all of the material 766 01:02:24,079 --> 01:02:29,079 and the way that we operate with again, you know, improvising or being 767 01:02:29,159 --> 01:02:31,320 ready to like take a song in a direction you might not have expected it 768 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,800 to go or it has never gone in practice or at a show before. 769 01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:40,920 Yeah, and he's a really good sport about that as well. Yeah yeah. 770 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,239 Um. So we've ended up with this group of six people who are 771 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,920 all very much on the same page. We all get along really well, 772 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,599 we're all willing to work really hard at something um that is a little bit 773 01:02:53,719 --> 01:02:58,920 ridiculous and a lot of fun for us, and Um, I am so 774 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:00,760 grateful for It's such a cool thing to be a part of. Yeah, 775 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:05,760 and every every time we get buy in from more people, it blows my 776 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,239 mind a little bit because it started as like my weird little thing, and 777 01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,679 then I had you guys in on my weird little thing, and now we're 778 01:03:10,719 --> 01:03:15,679 like a going concern and yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, that's that's 779 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,760 great. So with a band like this and this kind of configuration, if 780 01:03:20,239 --> 01:03:22,599 like like you mentioned, Rob isn't necessarily he can't necessarily make it to every 781 01:03:22,639 --> 01:03:27,400 show. So is that kind of doing the kind of music that you're doing 782 01:03:27,519 --> 01:03:30,599 and with the ability to kind of improvise, does that make it easier to 783 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:35,920 kind of adapt to situations like that. I've always wondered because you know, 784 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,039 I'm a musician. I've played in a bunch of bands, but I've never 785 01:03:37,119 --> 01:03:40,400 played in anything where you know, you kind of had that flexibility. Maybe 786 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:45,559 if somebody isn't there, that's okay, you can kind of work around it 787 01:03:45,679 --> 01:03:47,840 and still have it be really good. Is that kind of the situation with 788 01:03:49,119 --> 01:03:52,639 Yeah, we do that all the time. Yeah, being we're eighty percent 789 01:03:52,719 --> 01:03:55,639 original. Yeah, yeah, so doing that we can show up with anything 790 01:03:55,760 --> 01:04:01,760 from a trio to any of the combination and of quads to the full band 791 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,559 and put on a good show. Yeah yeah, Chip and I are the 792 01:04:05,639 --> 01:04:10,360 only people who've played in every at North in the Rangers show. Yeah, 793 01:04:10,599 --> 01:04:13,800 okay, I missed one. Oh really, uh yeah in five years? 794 01:04:15,519 --> 01:04:16,719 Was it was the other guy? Won't let me forget it was the other 795 01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:23,360 guy who does percussion. I forgot. We go, Yeah, there you 796 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,639 go. Yeah, yeah, very cool. What about on the on the 797 01:04:25,719 --> 01:04:29,800 live releases, I assume that's the full full that's everybody on the UM. 798 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,760 Some of those live releases on band camp are but again by nature of publishing 799 01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,400 as much as we can, some of those are are different configurations. And 800 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,239 we've had, um, you know, we had a night recently where we 801 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,079 couldn't have either sax player. They weren't available, so we called in. 802 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,840 Uh do you know I'm at the sax. I don't think so. Um 803 01:04:46,039 --> 01:04:50,519 he plays with um super nothing. He's a great sax player. He's going 804 01:04:50,599 --> 01:04:55,840 to be playing the national anthem at the uh oh yeah, the Cats game 805 01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,119 coming up soon. I can't remember which one, but okay, I think 806 01:04:58,159 --> 01:05:00,000 the fourth of July weekend. Yeah. Yeah, he's an amazing player, 807 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:04,039 and he for years he'd come up to be be like, I want to 808 01:05:04,079 --> 01:05:06,360 play a gig with you guys. Sometime I was like, here's your gig, 809 01:05:06,679 --> 01:05:10,960 And so he came like on extremely short notice and played the gig with 810 01:05:11,079 --> 01:05:14,559 us and and killed it. And again, by nature of having a lot 811 01:05:14,599 --> 01:05:17,840 of improvisation, there's a lot of room to just you know, here's where 812 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,840 we're at tonight, here's what we've got, and let's you know, do 813 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:27,320 do something interesting with it. Yeah. Yeah, it's really a fun place 814 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,920 to be as a musician to have the opportunity to do that. Oh yeah, 815 01:05:30,039 --> 01:05:31,880 yeah, so you guys probably sometimes you'll fill a whole night. I 816 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,559 would imagine, right, like, do you could do like three hours or 817 01:05:34,639 --> 01:05:38,519 something? If yeah, I mean we can, we can do seven hours 818 01:05:39,679 --> 01:05:42,519 seriously. Yeah. Yeah, we got a couple of gigs coming up back 819 01:05:42,519 --> 01:05:44,760 to back where we're gonna do two nights in a row. Yeah, no 820 01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,000 repeats, Oh no, kidding. Wow, Wow, that's cool. Yeah 821 01:05:47,119 --> 01:05:50,239 yeah, that's kind of been a goal. I mean, I've been in 822 01:05:50,519 --> 01:05:57,679 bands all over the country and I've never had a band in the what forty 823 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,920 something years that I've been playing that could ever do Yeah, this is a 824 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,320 it's a fun milestone for me. It's yeah, whoa, we'll play two 825 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:09,039 nights and not repeat. That's very cool. That's very cool. And you 826 01:06:09,119 --> 01:06:14,960 said it's like eight originals. Yeah, yeah, we um, we add 827 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,880 as many covers as we can. Those tend to get second place priority in 828 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,880 practice part because of working on original stuff is really fun. Yeah, so 829 01:06:23,079 --> 01:06:25,599 we we tend to be a little more motivated towards that. And then the 830 01:06:25,719 --> 01:06:30,000 covers were always working on sort of a cover that will visit over the course 831 01:06:30,039 --> 01:06:32,719 of practice until it's where it needs to be to play out. Um, 832 01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:38,159 and so that that like those keep accumulating, but the original stuff tends to 833 01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:42,320 be where we're motivated to move things along faster. So we're always picking up 834 01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:47,480 new songs. What kind of covers do you do all anything? I think 835 01:06:47,519 --> 01:06:54,920 our main like uh influence for covers would be like The Cure and Warren Zevon, 836 01:06:55,559 --> 01:06:59,599 Ben Folds. We're all fans of those types of band. Yeah, 837 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,280 so we also do you know some jazz stuff like you know John Scofield tunes 838 01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,880 off of the Go Go, Yeah, things like that, So we try 839 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:10,320 to cover some good range. I mean that you know, playing Scofield isn't 840 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,320 really going to get you a lot of crowd buy in, but yeah, 841 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,119 I would. I would imagine there's probably something that you do that the crowd 842 01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:20,480 doesn't necessarily even realize that they're covers, right, Yeah, it's nice to 843 01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:26,400 have a few of those, um like you know, and uh, I'm 844 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,920 a big Fishead and we do Wolfman's Brother and like, so for a certain 845 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:31,079 set of people, they're like, oh, I know that, you know 846 01:07:31,239 --> 01:07:33,840 you Okay, I got it. But like a lot of people are just 847 01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:38,599 like, oh I like that song. Yeah. So you know, sometimes 848 01:07:38,679 --> 01:07:43,239 you're you're visiting like little camps of music fans with the way you choose covers. 849 01:07:43,519 --> 01:07:45,960 Yeah, and then you know, we also have a few that are 850 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,719 like right down the middle, like we do you know, call me Out? 851 01:07:48,599 --> 01:07:53,519 Oh really, you know everybody knows and loves that song to be yeah, 852 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,840 just too whatever. Yeah, we've got a weird alt tune on ours. 853 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:02,440 I have to know what what song? Oh really? Uh, it's 854 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:09,920 almost a two for one cover because you get that's true, that's true. 855 01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:14,199 Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have we have Andrew North and the Rangers 856 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:15,800 here with us in studio. Again, if you if you have anything for 857 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,560 the band, any questions or anything six zo three two five six seven six 858 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:24,720 ZO three two five six seven. But we can play another another song? 859 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,800 Should we do something from Thanks for the Warning Volume one? This is the 860 01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:32,079 newest one, right, the newest album? Yeah? Absolutely? Um what 861 01:08:32,279 --> 01:08:35,800 should uh? I'll let you pick. But I'm kind of curious to hear 862 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:40,520 something where Okay, so rob's what's the name of the instrument again? It's 863 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,159 an aerophone. Is there a particular song where the aerophone really stands out? 864 01:08:44,159 --> 01:08:45,960 Because now I want to hear something where it's prominent and I can listen for 865 01:08:46,119 --> 01:08:57,159 it. Yeah. Uh, I see a song called epiphone, but I 866 01:08:57,159 --> 01:09:01,439 don't see one called aerophone. Yeah, very straight up saxophone type song. 867 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,039 Yeah. I Want to Be a Ranger is real long, but that has 868 01:09:05,039 --> 01:09:11,319 a lot of synthy stuff from the aerophone on it. Yeah. Uh yeah, 869 01:09:11,359 --> 01:09:13,319 we have time, we can play that one. Cool. Yeah, 870 01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:15,520 well all right, let's let's do that, all right. So this is 871 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,920 I Want to Be a Ranger. This is from Andrew North and the Rangers. 872 01:09:19,319 --> 01:09:21,920 The album is called Oh by the way, why is it? Why 873 01:09:23,159 --> 01:09:29,079 is it called Thanks for the Warning Volume one? We're still figuring that out. 874 01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:34,119 The thanks a reference to um we got a wonderful rite up from Matt 875 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:40,600 Whitthouse at the Hippo Yeah for the studio album we did, and he likened 876 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:46,760 it too. It was like Frank Zappa meets Chicago Transit Authority slash something else. 877 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,920 What was the third one? Do you remember? Yeah? But anyways, 878 01:09:51,199 --> 01:09:55,239 those two are enough to give you the gist of like what he mentioned. 879 01:09:55,279 --> 01:09:57,359 And we're like, oh, that's amazing, Like we're really proud of 880 01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,359 that.

Do you 908 01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,359 guys, um, are you guys recording anything this year as far as live 909 01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,800 live albums are, Uh, We're gonna sort of see what we end up 910 01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:02,279 with at the end of the year. We always get as high quality recordings 911 01:19:02,319 --> 01:19:06,840 as we can for everything we play, and then we can sort of assess 912 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:10,479 at the end of the year what we've got and what we want to share 913 01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:14,760 as far as at a level of you know, getting it properly mixed and 914 01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,359 mastered and putting it out as a compilation album like this. Yeah. So 915 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,399 I don't know what we're gonna end up with for this year. I hope 916 01:19:20,399 --> 01:19:24,680 we end up with something that we can do a Volume two yeah for twenty 917 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:28,600 three, but that is yet to be determined. We keep threatening to work 918 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:32,560 on a new studio album, which we need to get going on. Yeah, 919 01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,960 yeah, no, that's uh. Yeah, we did play I played 920 01:19:38,159 --> 01:19:40,640 earlier in the show one of the studio tracks there. Well, yeah, 921 01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:45,640 from Phosphorus. I can't say that word Bosphores and Snack. Is that the 922 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:49,479 only studio album so far. Everything else is live. Yep, that's what 923 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:53,199 we've got so far. Okay, okay, cool cool. If you're just 924 01:19:53,319 --> 01:19:57,119 joining us, we do have Andrew North and the Rangers here or half the 925 01:19:57,159 --> 01:19:59,800 band, the founding members here in studio with us. We have of course 926 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,039 Andrew North and uh, Chip and Dale or with us and if you'd like 927 01:20:03,119 --> 01:20:08,479 to join us six three two five six seven six three two five O six 928 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:12,399 Z seven the studio line is open and we do have a little bit of 929 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:15,399 time left on today's show if you'd like to get in with a call for 930 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,199 these guys. Um what is the um? What is the songwriting process like? 931 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:24,520 Because and again I've I've never played in a band where there's you know, 932 01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:27,479 some improvisation and whatnot. I mean when when you guys, well who 933 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,079 writes the songs? Do you guys write together or do do you come up 934 01:20:30,079 --> 01:20:35,840 with individual ideas or We've worked just about every possible way that you can approach 935 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:41,159 that, uh, and we're always open to approaching it at whatever way is 936 01:20:41,279 --> 01:20:45,600 gonna work in any particular time. So there's a little bit of improvisation of 937 01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,640 that aspect too. Yeah, I just write a lot by nature, so 938 01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:54,760 I bring a lot of stuff to the band and at the level of all 939 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,640 right, here's how I play it by myself on piano and sort of what 940 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,640 I'm going for, and then everybody else in the band takes that and runs 941 01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:06,319 with it and we end up where we end up. So I'll never come 942 01:21:06,359 --> 01:21:10,800 in and be like and the base part should go right like you know. 943 01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,000 Mostly I'll come with it and be like, all right, here's what I've 944 01:21:14,039 --> 01:21:17,840 got as far as you know, words and chord changes, and usually it's 945 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,039 in a state where it's going to end up fairly close to where I started 946 01:21:21,079 --> 01:21:27,279 from, not always, and that's been a really rewarding process. It's really 947 01:21:27,399 --> 01:21:30,239 good practice for me letting go of being a control freak about some of that. 948 01:21:31,199 --> 01:21:35,279 It's great practice. We also do write as a group, as some 949 01:21:35,399 --> 01:21:39,520 of our favorite stuff has been stuff that we all wrote together, like Mary's 950 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:44,119 Chicken THI Money was this weird, shambly process of things that came out of 951 01:21:44,199 --> 01:21:47,640 band practice, inside jokes and then we're all of a sudden it turns into 952 01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:55,039 a song. Yea. And Chip writes as well, I'm always hoping that 953 01:21:55,239 --> 01:22:00,199 everyone else will write Dale. I'm still waiting for your song. Hey, 954 01:22:00,399 --> 01:22:05,640 That's what ly Our policy is to always have sort of a yes policy, 955 01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:09,640 Like when people bring songs or covers they want to do or things like that, 956 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,600 it's always like, yes, we'll try it. It may not stick, 957 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:14,600 and it may be something we try and we're like, yeah, that 958 01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,039 didn't really get to where we wanted it to be. Um, But we're 959 01:22:18,079 --> 01:22:21,119 always willing to try things. And I think that's really important in a band, 960 01:22:21,279 --> 01:22:26,840 to give everybody space to express themselves and to use, you know, 961 01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,760 to have it be the same creative outlet that I'm lucky enough to have it 962 01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:30,880 be where I'm like, you know, I wrote a bunch of songs and 963 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,239 here they are and now we play them all and to me, that's the 964 01:22:33,279 --> 01:22:36,520 coolest thing ever. And I hope that the band can serve that function for 965 01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:41,000 everybody. Right right, we have a call. Somebody wants to talk to 966 01:22:41,039 --> 01:22:45,000 you. Hi, Welcome to Matt Connors and Unleashed two is us. Hey, 967 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:49,600 this is Rob. This is kinda Rob. I heard about you. 968 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:54,920 I heard You're very mysterious. I tend to be. That's that's why I'm 969 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,920 not there in person. I usually don't show my face unless i'm I'm out 970 01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:01,119 of performance in full costume. But right, I just wanted to thank you 971 01:23:01,279 --> 01:23:04,359 since I couldn't be there personally, for bringing us on the show and you 972 01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:08,479 know, sharing our music with the area. Oh, happy to do it, 973 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,520 Happy to do it. I really like what you guys are doing, 974 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:15,920 and uh fascinated to learn about the aerophone. I'm saying that right area. 975 01:23:15,199 --> 01:23:17,720 You know, you can search for it online. You know it's it's gonna 976 01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:24,119 bring you some sketchy like North Korean website, but through all of the spam 977 01:23:24,279 --> 01:23:28,319 filters, you'll find some documentation on it. I gotsha is that? Wait? 978 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:30,159 Is that how you bought your aerophone? You bought it from North Korea? 979 01:23:30,359 --> 01:23:35,680 Is that even legal? I thought it was legal if you're in North 980 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,880 Korea? Right right? I understand, So you went to North Korea to 981 01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:42,039 gain I mean, you know, you're mysterious, so you can make up 982 01:23:42,079 --> 01:23:44,600 whatever story about it you want. So you went to North Korea to get 983 01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,199 the aerophone? Is that correct? It's actually it's a it's a it's a 984 01:23:48,319 --> 01:23:51,399 rolling product. It's it's really fun. It's it's what kind of got me 985 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:56,039 re energized back into music after I found these guys.

Yeah, I don't know if you were listening. 988 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,399 I don't know if you've been listening from the beginning, but yeah, 989 01:24:04,399 --> 01:24:08,079 I was asking these guys for a song where you can really kind of hear 990 01:24:08,119 --> 01:24:11,920 the aerophone and uh, yeah, it's fascinating. I'm gonna have to because 991 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:15,359 obviously this some live videos too, right on YouTube. I'm gonna have to 992 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:16,520 look up some of those and watch some of those. And I want to 993 01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:20,199 I want to see the aero phone in action. That's pretty cool. Oh 994 01:24:20,359 --> 01:24:29,520 you'll you'll see some stuff. I got that impression. Yeah, thanks again. 995 01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:32,399 I'll let you guys continue listening from Afar. All right, all right, 996 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,680 Rob, thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Bye bye, 997 01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:39,920 all right, very good, very good. That does open up the 998 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,680 line for you if you have anything for the band six zo three two five 999 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:46,960 six seven six three two five zero six zero seven. Um. So uh, 1000 01:24:47,279 --> 01:24:50,640 when you when you write something, uh, and you you know, 1001 01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,560 you bring it to the band and you know, like you said, you 1002 01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:58,119 don't try to control what everyone does in terms of their parts. But do 1003 01:24:58,199 --> 01:25:00,520 you ever find that what you had in mind or how you heard it in 1004 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:04,520 your head, what it comes out as ends up being just wildly different from 1005 01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:11,760 what you had envisioned. Always to a matter of degree. It always ends 1006 01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,039 up different from where I thought it might have been going, and sometimes it 1007 01:25:15,079 --> 01:25:20,279 does end up extremely different. Um And I find that's a big part of 1008 01:25:20,319 --> 01:25:26,239 the fun and really a rewarding process. And that's like I used to have 1009 01:25:26,319 --> 01:25:28,800 a really hard time with that with bands where I would read something and I 1010 01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:32,279 would be very committed to what I thought the song should be like and everybody, 1011 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,640 you know, you've you've been in bands, you know the nature, 1012 01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:38,920 everybody brings what they bring to it, and you sort of find navigate to 1013 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:43,399 where it's going to. And it took me a while to appreciate that process. 1014 01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,960 And you know, especially with this band, the results are consistently so 1015 01:25:46,199 --> 01:25:50,960 good that I really trust that process a lot more than I have in the 1016 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:56,800 past, or in past bands where it's like you know, I and and 1017 01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:00,840 sometimes it is it takes a few weeks for somebody to really dial in the 1018 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,720 part, and you have to trust you're like, all right, I hear 1019 01:26:04,359 --> 01:26:06,680 sort of what you're going for, and even though it's not there yet, 1020 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:10,840 we'll keep working on it and I know what's going to get there, And 1021 01:26:11,399 --> 01:26:15,520 that is really cool to watch every you know, as Chip was saying that 1022 01:26:15,399 --> 01:26:18,760 we're so lucky to have this just a phenomenal group of musicians, and watching 1023 01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:23,399 everybody sort of work things out in real time and challenge themselves and get better, 1024 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,800 I think it's a big part of what keeps us all energized as a 1025 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:30,880 band and keeps making those songs better. And that's another thing is that we're 1026 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:36,359 never officially done with a song. Songs are always sort of open to revision. 1027 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:40,600 So if you know, we can have a song that we've been playing 1028 01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,760 for two or three years and in practice we're like, you know, let's 1029 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:47,640 try this or you know, change this around about it. And that's also 1030 01:26:48,039 --> 01:26:55,159 sort of a fun process and a nice way to let songs move along with 1031 01:26:55,399 --> 01:26:59,720 us as a band. Yeah, because I personally, I get really bored 1032 01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:03,600 playing stuff that's on the rails exactly the same every time, and here's the 1033 01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:08,159 fill right after the first first. It's always the exact same notes, and 1034 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,560 that's not how my brain works. So I'm really glad I've found a group 1035 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:15,800 of other musicians who uh are willing to put up with that. We're all 1036 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,800 off the rails too. There you go. Well, it's like we were 1037 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,800 talking off air while that song was playing I Want to Be a Ranger. 1038 01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:28,000 You guys were talking about how there's multiple different there's what three different possible endings 1039 01:27:29,039 --> 01:27:31,560 for that song, right and it and it kind of depends on that happens 1040 01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:36,159 once a show, Uh, sirens every every day. I never know when 1041 01:27:36,199 --> 01:27:40,399 in the show it's going to happen, but it happens every looking forward to 1042 01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:45,039 it. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, but yeah, I mean 1043 01:27:45,119 --> 01:27:47,600 that I would imagine that helps, you know, kind of keep it fresh 1044 01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:50,359 and exciting when it's you know, when the songs kind of change and evolve 1045 01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:56,640 over time. And um are there are there a lot of UM songs that 1046 01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:02,000 go back to when you like pre band, pre meeting these guy m one. 1047 01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,399 A couple of those tunes go way way back epiphone on the on the 1048 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:13,079 on the album goes back to uh, I'll say two thousand four or five. 1049 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,640 And I actually didn't write that one. A bandmate of mine named Jeff 1050 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,439 Rhodes as a guitarist wrote that one. And I always liked it so much 1051 01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:24,520 that we kept it going, you know, almost twenty years later now, 1052 01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:29,279 which is crazy. Yeah. And then Electrostatic Chills, which tends to be 1053 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,760 the song that we put at the end of every show, but again, 1054 01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:33,840 we improvise a lot, but we also played the same song at the end 1055 01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:40,399 of every show. I'm not sure exactly why, but it's fun. And 1056 01:28:41,159 --> 01:28:45,760 I wrote that one. That was a really early one when um in college, 1057 01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,039 I would go down to like the basement in the music department and just 1058 01:28:48,159 --> 01:28:51,560 like hang out of the piano rum, just noodling around for hours at a 1059 01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:56,600 time because I didn't know what else to do with my time, and I 1060 01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:00,880 was starting to write. And I wrote that song um in that in that 1061 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,479 stretch, which was almost twenty years ago that it might have been, oh 1062 01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:06,880 three or four, and it's it's really cool to let a song like that 1063 01:29:08,359 --> 01:29:10,680 keep going. I played that in my college band, in my band for 1064 01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,760 a couple of years after college, and yeah, so to be able to 1065 01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:15,760 still be doing it and to have added so much to it in that you 1066 01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:18,479 know, we have new vocal parts that we've worked up over time, and 1067 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:24,039 having saxophone parts that are really specific in it, and there's sort of little 1068 01:29:24,319 --> 01:29:27,880 things that line up with the lyrics that have evolved over time. Is really 1069 01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:32,039 cool to have sort of a song that is almost old enough to drink get 1070 01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:36,600 added to it, right right, yeah, yeah, And we were also, 1071 01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:41,960 I think this was just off air we were talking, but it's interesting 1072 01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:45,359 to me Dale, you were saying that UM live, you're playing electronic drums. 1073 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,600 Yea, and uh, it's it's remarkable how good they sound like. 1074 01:29:50,199 --> 01:29:53,680 And I haven't asked you. At one point during that during that song, 1075 01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,640 I said, so, this is all electronic, but that's that's pretty amazing. 1076 01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:59,359 Yeah. It's funny because people a lot of times we'll play in front 1077 01:29:59,399 --> 01:30:03,279 of audience where we've got um audience members that have not seen us play yet. 1078 01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:06,439 Yeah, And I can see on their face, especially if they're old 1079 01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:12,800 school or if they're drummers, they'll look and go, yeah, electronic set. 1080 01:30:13,039 --> 01:30:15,600 Then by the end of the first set they're coming up to me like, 1081 01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,039 oh my, I cannot believe that's an electronic set, you know. 1082 01:30:18,279 --> 01:30:24,039 So then I'm explaining about all the new Roland technology and they're just so into 1083 01:30:24,119 --> 01:30:30,279 it because it's it's amazing how the technology sounds. Land Check every month they 1084 01:30:30,319 --> 01:30:34,199 do. One of the great things about an electronic drum kit is that you 1085 01:30:34,239 --> 01:30:40,520 can actually pick different sounds for different songs, yeah, which is one of 1086 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,920 the you know, it's a lot of different variety there. And the other 1087 01:30:43,039 --> 01:30:45,640 awesome thing about it is we can control our own sound level from stage, 1088 01:30:46,279 --> 01:30:53,000 so we can play indoor in breweries or small venues. Everything goes through the 1089 01:30:53,079 --> 01:30:56,600 board, no amps on stage, because that's usually dictated by how the drummer 1090 01:30:56,720 --> 01:31:00,399 is. Yeah, and so we're literally mixing everything through the monitors first and 1091 01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:04,199 then out to the mains and whatever level the venue wants. We can do 1092 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:06,960 that. We get a lot of compliments. Oh, we can listen to 1093 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,680 you guys and still talk. This is awesome, right right, Yeah, 1094 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,760 no, that's very cool. Um Chips as the bass player, where you 1095 01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:19,000 skeptical at all at first with with about the electronic drums or well, um, 1096 01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:21,880 it was a little bit getting used to because I hadn't played with anybody 1097 01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:26,680 who had played electronic RUMs before. Although yeah, I mean Dale and I 1098 01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:30,640 had played together some at one of the open mics up and Conquered before we 1099 01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:33,159 actually ended up in this band together. Oh okay, So I mean I 1100 01:31:33,239 --> 01:31:35,239 knew, I knew we was talented. I knew, you know, we 1101 01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:41,119 got. We clicked very well. Yeah, and so it was interesting singing 1102 01:31:41,199 --> 01:31:43,039 that and yeah, I mean I got used to it pretty quickly. It 1103 01:31:43,119 --> 01:31:45,359 was fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool, a lot of fun. 1104 01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:47,880 Yeah, no, it is amazing how far the technology has come. 1105 01:31:48,359 --> 01:31:53,760 Um, what is the gigging schedule? Like are you are you guys? 1106 01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:59,000 You play out a lot pretty consistently. Yeah, we got a as Dale 1107 01:31:59,039 --> 01:32:02,159 said, we got back to that coming up next week on Thursday and Friday. 1108 01:32:02,239 --> 01:32:05,119 So Thursday, the twenty second, we're at Panucci's up and Conquered. 1109 01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:10,199 It's gonna be a really fun show. And then on the twenty third, 1110 01:32:10,279 --> 01:32:13,640 on the Friday, it's the Market Days Festival and Conquered this week, which 1111 01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:17,079 is um, you know, kind of a festival of everything. Oh yeah 1112 01:32:17,279 --> 01:32:21,680 yeah, and it's it is like the conquered music scenes time to shine. 1113 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:26,199 So we always really look forward to it. And if folks don't know, 1114 01:32:26,359 --> 01:32:31,920 the Bicentennial Square stage by the coffee shop there Brothers Quartado, that stage in 1115 01:32:32,039 --> 01:32:38,520 there is like like New Hampshire Band Central and you can just post up and 1116 01:32:39,039 --> 01:32:42,119 hang out there all day and see so much incredible music. So we're playing 1117 01:32:42,159 --> 01:32:46,159 on that stage on Friday at six thirty, which we're really looking forward to. 1118 01:32:46,399 --> 01:32:49,479 We did that last year on the Saturday and night and it was it 1119 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:55,560 was such a good time. Yeah. And then let's see the week two 1120 01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:59,479 weeks after that. On Saturday July first, we're at Feathered Friend and Conquered 1121 01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:01,680 and that is that one weekend. Okay, I can't tell time. Is 1122 01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,880 that new Feathered Friend. Feathered Friend they're pretty new. They've they've been around 1123 01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:09,720 for a little more in a year. But in that time they've gone from 1124 01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:14,319 like little startup brewery too, like all right, now, we took over 1125 01:33:14,399 --> 01:33:16,520 the back parking lot and we're gonna have music back there, even though there's 1126 01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:20,840 no shade and it's a million degrees whatever, to they've built this crazy stage 1127 01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:27,239 and patio set up in like like sound system. It's really cool and um 1128 01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:30,880 and even we played there a couple of times last year and this year they've 1129 01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,039 upped their game really. I've seen a couple of shows there and it's um 1130 01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:36,479 really stoked to get back there. They're really committed to doing like a live 1131 01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:41,279 music thing there. Yeah. Um, and their beer is really good too, 1132 01:33:41,399 --> 01:33:45,239 so UM recommend stop and buy that one um wearing Conquered is that it's 1133 01:33:45,279 --> 01:33:48,199 in the in the South End. It's on to street okay, kind of 1134 01:33:48,239 --> 01:33:51,560 buy Vinnie's Pizza. Oh yep. Yeah, And I grew up in Conquered, 1135 01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:55,079 so I know that area. Well. What's the data in the Henneker 1136 01:33:55,159 --> 01:33:59,479 concert series is at the eleventh, that's the eleventh. July eleventh, we're 1137 01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:06,439 playing an occur for their summer concert series, and then on July fifteenth we're 1138 01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:14,079 playing at Litherman's Limited and Conquered Aliverwery gig and they usually put us outside on 1139 01:34:14,119 --> 01:34:17,680 their patio, which is another actually surprisingly lovely parking lot. Yeah. Yeah, 1140 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:23,840 and so we played there a couple of times a year as well, 1141 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:26,479 and we always really look forward to it. So summer tends to be pretty 1142 01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:30,720 busy for us. Yeah, we have not been able to maintain a schedule 1143 01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:33,000 that lets us get too far afield right now. You know, we're always 1144 01:34:33,039 --> 01:34:39,079 looking for gigs to get out of town, but logistically it's really hard to 1145 01:34:39,119 --> 01:34:42,600 pull off with six people. So yeah, we've been having a great time 1146 01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:45,239 playing Conquered and because every show's different, people keep coming to see us. 1147 01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:48,439 Yeah, so it actually works out pretty well for us to be able to 1148 01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:55,159 just play a lot and have people get to know our music better and get 1149 01:34:55,239 --> 01:34:58,520 to know our weird sense of humor and our inside jokes, and so it 1150 01:34:59,039 --> 01:35:00,520 kind of builds on it itself in a really nice way. Yeah. So 1151 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:02,960 it's always the more people we can bring in, the better. Yeah. 1152 01:35:03,079 --> 01:35:06,520 Yeah, that's excellent. One other thing real quick to mention that we should 1153 01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:10,720 do is that every month, first Wednesday of the month, we actually host 1154 01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:14,920 the open mic at Area twenty three up and Conquered. Okay, yeah, 1155 01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:16,199 I mean we'll play a few songs ourselves, but we'll also back up of 1156 01:35:16,239 --> 01:35:19,920 the musicians if they ask us to. Yes, And that open mic thing 1157 01:35:20,039 --> 01:35:26,000 has really become a thing. Like when we first talked to Area twenty three 1158 01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,319 about doing that once a month, I figured it would be, you know, 1159 01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:31,239 pretty casual open mic, pretty chill we you know, we we'd get 1160 01:35:31,319 --> 01:35:34,720 through the list of singer songwriter guitar folks and then we would have you know, 1161 01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:38,439 a couple hours at the end to just basically have an open band practice. 1162 01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:42,720 Yeah, and it very quickly ramped up to people found out we were 1163 01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:47,000 hosting, and now in Conquered, there's like one hundred and ten people out 1164 01:35:47,079 --> 01:35:51,640 on a Wednesday night and they're there from you know, six thirty pm to 1165 01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:56,239 like ten thirty pm. Yeah, and people don't go out and conquered. 1166 01:35:56,279 --> 01:35:59,439 So it really like blows my mind, right, Like we get that every 1167 01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:03,000 month and it's so cool, and it's a really like fun and positive community 1168 01:36:03,079 --> 01:36:06,479 that's growing on that. So it's super cool. And now we're getting full 1169 01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:10,920 bands that want to come and debut that have never played in fun of people 1170 01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:15,479 before our host night. Yeah. Yeah, it's just become a really cool 1171 01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:17,920 thing. For some reason, it's worth their time to try. Like we 1172 01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,800 had a guy drive from Maine last time to play with his band there and 1173 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:24,800 we're like, we're like, I know, I know, it sucks, 1174 01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,119 but you get three songs. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, and like 1175 01:36:28,399 --> 01:36:31,279 they they're all super stoked on it. Wow, it's really cool. And 1176 01:36:31,359 --> 01:36:35,880 I learned about a ton of bands and musicians through that and seeing people come 1177 01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:40,399 out of the woodwork and just blow my mind with how talented they are is 1178 01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:44,399 yeah, amazing. Yeah, Area twenty three seems to have really caught on. 1179 01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:48,159 M Kirk was on my show. Not he's never been on this iteration 1180 01:36:48,239 --> 01:36:50,319 of the show. He was on the old version of the show that I 1181 01:36:50,399 --> 01:36:54,880 had when I did the TV show. But yeah, it seems like they're 1182 01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:59,119 really thriving. Just good to see. Yeah, good to see and you 1183 01:36:59,199 --> 01:37:01,479 know, and it allows local music to thrive and uh, you know that's 1184 01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:05,800 that's fantastic. So um yeah, so you guys. Uh. And then 1185 01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:10,640 at some point, I can't remember if we talked about this on air or 1186 01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:14,640 off are at some point you might do another studio album. Yeah, we 1187 01:37:15,039 --> 01:37:17,039 were always working on it. We have more songs than we know what to 1188 01:37:17,119 --> 01:37:21,479 do with for that context. Um. And what's really nice is that with 1189 01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:26,720 the electronic drums, um and all that, it's actually really easy to self 1190 01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:30,920 record without a lot of lead or things like that. So we Phosphorus and 1191 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,439 Snack. We did you know, the basic tracking on our own, uh, 1192 01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,479 and then got some professional help doing the mix and master to get it 1193 01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:42,159 you know where it really needed to be. Yea. But that that kind 1194 01:37:42,199 --> 01:37:45,880 of process, and again I think it's really enabled by the electronic drums allows 1195 01:37:46,079 --> 01:37:50,439 us to take the time that we really need to tinker with things or to 1196 01:37:51,159 --> 01:37:55,439 to do it in our own time and to get to a result that we're 1197 01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:58,840 really excited about, which I think, you know, I've I've recorded studio, 1198 01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:01,880 albums in studio, and that I've paid for myself and things like that, 1199 01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,920 and that feeling of being under the gun. I don't feel like it's 1200 01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:11,479 really Sometimes it's great for the creative process. Sure for me personally, I 1201 01:38:12,239 --> 01:38:15,640 stress too much, and yeah, it's not I'm not happy in that process. 1202 01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,640 So much happier being like, all right, let's try this song and 1203 01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:23,199 we can play it, you know, fifteen times over and over and over 1204 01:38:23,279 --> 01:38:26,760 again and sort of see where we end up with it and not have to 1205 01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:29,880 be watching the clock or anything. Right, Once we have that bundled together, 1206 01:38:30,119 --> 01:38:35,479 then it's much easier to take a project that's a discreet size and scope 1207 01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:39,039 and you can go to an engineer and be like, all right, can 1208 01:38:39,119 --> 01:38:42,720 you help us, because I'm not an audio engineer, can you help us 1209 01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:45,960 make this sound amazing? Yeah? We were lucky to have folks who can 1210 01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:47,479 do that. Oh yeah. And we're fortunate to live in a time where 1211 01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:51,960 you have so many different options as far as recording. And you know, 1212 01:38:53,079 --> 01:38:57,199 I've I've talked to bands who you know, they never even were in the 1213 01:38:57,319 --> 01:39:00,760 same room when when recording albums. You know, they would like during the 1214 01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:03,880 pandemic, you know, they would email tracks back and forth and you know, 1215 01:39:04,079 --> 01:39:08,079 just just uh, it's it's incredible what you can do now. And 1216 01:39:08,319 --> 01:39:10,880 you know, and of course there's still plenty of great studios around too where 1217 01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:14,399 you can go and you can pay the money and and uh and spend the 1218 01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:16,359 time there. But but you can do a lot on your own these days. 1219 01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:19,680 It's uh, it's changed a lot from when I was growing up, 1220 01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:23,239 or when any of us were growing up. Really well, definitely on some 1221 01:39:23,319 --> 01:39:25,399 of the songs on Fuss for Us and the Snack, we'd be doing stuff 1222 01:39:25,399 --> 01:39:28,880 and then Rob would come in and he'd record like eight different tracks for the 1223 01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:33,359 same song yea, and different instruments on his erophone atle bit of an orchestra 1224 01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:38,319 and to himself. Yeah, yeah, it's true mysterious stranger fashion. We 1225 01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:41,000 just gave him the tracks. He gave him back to us and we're like, 1226 01:39:41,239 --> 01:39:45,079 oh my god, what did you do later? Yeah, yeah, 1227 01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:50,159 well it's gonna have options, I guess. Right by the way, in 1228 01:39:50,239 --> 01:39:54,399 the Facebook live chat, Police is in there, he says, Hello, 1229 01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:59,359 a big fan Paul of course from Retrospectrum Radio with Police every Friday night, 1230 01:39:59,399 --> 01:40:01,079 and I have the honor of being one of Paul's co hosts on that show, 1231 01:40:01,159 --> 01:40:05,119 and also my dad, Martin Connerton is in the Facebook live chat as 1232 01:40:05,279 --> 01:40:10,520 well.
