Yeah, yeah, 18 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,799 okay, Yeah, this is more of a new project for us. It's 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,280 only been going on for about a year and a half. Yeah, we're 20 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,599 a little bit, but we're pushing it. We're pushing it hard. Yeah. 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,159 I already made a bunch of music, so we're ready. Yeah, 22 00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:17,840 we got a we got a bunch of tunes we're gonna play today. Really 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,400 looking forward to sharing these with everybody. By the way, so I have 24 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:23,079 to ask this right out of the gate, where does the name come from? 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,519 Uh? Started out, they just started out as a joke, and 26 00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:33,120 then we had this really ongoing long name, and then it was just like, 27 00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:36,879 let's just cut it down. We'll just be Yeah, we'll just be 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,159 the Squirrels, and we're ready to go with that. It just was really 29 00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:47,680 added nothing we didn't expect to be doing anywhere. Might I was gonna say, 30 00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:51,319 you didn't cut it down that much, not that much just now and 31 00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:55,719 talking easier to say the squirrel right right. But yeah, it just came 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,159 as a joke. We didn't expect to be playing anything nearly as my whuch 33 00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:01,799 as we are. We're playing way more than we thought would be really. 34 00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:07,560 Yeah, yeah, so we're pretty much every weekend we're out. We really 35 00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:13,039 tried this year to push ourselves and get ourselves out there, and it really 36 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:21,400 showed everything just even just being like everywhere from wester to Boston to Nashua, 37 00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:25,400 Connectian, Rhode Island, Maine. Ya been all over the place. Yeah, 38 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:31,280 Ohio, Ohio next month. Yeah. Yeah. Started as a joke, 39 00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:35,639 just trying to just keep the music going for me and him. Yeah, 40 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,560 and we taught him a bunch of cover songs and then just kind of 41 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,800 make short songs. So it was just here we go, let's make a 42 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,960 bunch of short songs and then just punks just rock yea, the simplest songs 43 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,159 you can imagine, you know. Do the songs come pretty easy? Yeah, 44 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:57,319 they're not bad. It depends on how I feel. For the most 45 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,280 part, a lot of like like my emotional like journal coming coming to life 46 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,520 type deal. So it's it's pretty good. None of them are really like 47 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,520 positive, so it's all, you know, it's like dismal, miserable, 48 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,000 you know. I mean, we do have happy and happy. It sounds 49 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,400 happy, but it's not. But yeah, I don't know. If I 50 00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:23,960 have something to be happy about, i'd write a happy song. There must 51 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,319 be a happy one in there somewhere. I mean, you're not happy about 52 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,759 it. There's a couple, Yeah, there's a couple of good there's a 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,400 couple of ones, but they're like a skew and astray, you know, 54 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:38,960 they're strange or inappropriate. Yeah, you know, just about your lifely, 55 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,360 your daily struggles and daily struggles in life is what we're really hitting our songs. 56 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,240 Besides like the few fun ones. It's yeah, it's just all about 57 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,960 life. Where are you guys from? Are you from around here? Are 58 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,199 you from here? We're from athol Masks Okay, yeah, we're all uh 59 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,680 like branched apart, you know, but we practice an athought so we're pretty 60 00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:04,240 much not too far from Atho, you know as Alost, like an hour 61 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,240 and twenty minutes from here. About that. Yeah, it's not It's really 62 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,439 not that bad to get no bad. I'm just laughing because that for the 63 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,079 name of a town or a city. I've always thought that's such a funny 64 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,879 sounding name, at least like a river, a river, rat race, 65 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,439 and everyone calls it rat hole, you know really Yeah, yeah, we 66 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,720 used to call it the rat hole. Yeah, going to the rat hole. 67 00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:34,240 That's what I've always known it you're not really going anywhere pleasant. There's 68 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,920 there's nothing good there. Hey where it's a little better, a little better. 69 00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,800 I mean, we do have to say we go for those listening we 70 00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:46,560 are probably at all premiere punk rock band. There you go, there you 71 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:50,600 go. All right, you know we are probably the elite of the elite 72 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,519 out there. You might be other than the rats in the sewer, you 73 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,680 might be the premiere band from there. You know, you're right, maybe 74 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,920 an original band, but there's probably you know, the cover band's probably got 75 00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:06,759 but an original band's cover band. Right, We're not here for covers. 76 00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:11,319 We're here for originals. Is that a it's a city? Is it a 77 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:15,879 tower city? Is it considered a town? Say it's a town. It's 78 00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:18,160 an up and coming town. It's very close to a city, I would 79 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,160 say, almost, well probably now yeah, but close, it's very close. 80 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,480 Yeah. Well, all right, they got enough to do with all, 81 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,600 like the new stuff they've put into that. That's all I know. 82 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,120 I got more than winching in, that's for sure.

The family supports that. Yeah. 211 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:06,200 Yeah, So I started to ask about where you guys record because everything 212 00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:11,400 sounds really good. So what's the recording. It's in Princeton, mass Okay, 213 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,240 uh, engineers Roger Lavalley. Excellent guy, does great work. Yeah 214 00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:22,039 yeah. Prices are good, very fair. Yeah, it's nice. It's 215 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:26,440 like you're just basically going into someone's house. It's kind of like just like 216 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,519 a studio apartment. Okay, yeah, right behind the santique shop. Yeah 217 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,440 it's nice though. Yeah, he's got a ton of equipment, he's got 218 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,119 everything you can eat. You don't really even have to bring anything if you 219 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,640 don't want to show up and play. A very nice place, really good 220 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:44,640 pizza place right up the street. I will say, yeah, Now, 221 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,920 how did you get connected with him, working with him. How did that 222 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:51,559 come about? Honestly, just Google recording there. Yeah, we know a 223 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,240 couple of bands we know also, I believe went there. Yeah, Michael 224 00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:56,880 came in the morning after, so I don't know if anybody's ever heard of 225 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:02,279 them. Yeah, out of Western and then and he lashly did some stuff 226 00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:04,200 there too. You know, a couple of people it's like I can think 227 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,839 of off the top of my head. Yeah, but yeah, it's worked 228 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,160 out really well. It's very easy going, very fair price. Yeah, 229 00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:15,279 very good guys, very easy going. Yeah, and he obviously understands what 230 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,039 you guys are. Yeah. You just sounds a general idea, even if 231 00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:19,920 you're not sure, you just be like, we kind of want to sound 232 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,960 like this band, or we want to kind of sound like this band. 233 00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:26,160 Yeah, sound that, and he'll he'll get you there. Yeah, you 234 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,200 know. Yeah. Because it was so often a you know, a recording 235 00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:32,640 engineer, it kind of becomes like a de facto producer too. You know, 236 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,440 in a way you kind of gotta especially if you're kind of just like 237 00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:40,799 throwing the music at him, you got to have someone who's kind of like, 238 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,559 we got to build it. You need someone to build the music for 239 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,920 you if you haven't like fully constructed it. It's a good way of thinking 240 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,039 about He did everything, he recorded it, he mixed, he mastered it. 241 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,480 Yeah, pretty much everything was a song album, one one, one 242 00:19:55,559 --> 00:20:00,200 day. Yeah, our first album as one studio take. Yeah, by 243 00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:04,839 time we done it was fully mastered. Yeah. Wow that's fast. Yeah. 244 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:15,880 But we don't want yeah experience. We don't want to be like overdubbed 245 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,680 and sound like something that we're not. Yeah. We want our music to 246 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:25,960 sound like us when we play. Yeah, yeah we're not. We don't. 247 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,039 We don't you know. Yeah, we're what we are. Yeah. 248 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:36,720 Yeah, we're just human. Simple. I don't know if you're human. 249 00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:41,200 We're just simple. Yeah. And the studio is harder for us, I 250 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,880 think because we're not really a studio band. We're just we're more of a 251 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,640 live band. We need the energy or for the fun and each other. 252 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:52,440 We just go for it. We have a blast. We're just here for 253 00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:57,799 the entertainment. We don't necessarily play perfect, you know, but we just 254 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,519 have fun and that's what we're there for instead of like trying to nail every 255 00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:10,000 single. No, that's definitely not happening. You know. There's reason you 256 00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:11,839 can have fun and joke with each other with it. That's that's all. 257 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:17,359 Yeah, we get we get the people going and engaged in the show and 258 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,079 have Usually we have more crowd engagement than most, you know, And that's 259 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,839 what we're there for. It's what I'm there for. There for the fun. 260 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,720 Let's just have fun. Yeah. Now, when you record, do 261 00:21:27,759 --> 00:21:32,680 you got do you go in and play live together? We play all together. 262 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,920 Yeah, we go in and usually what we do before we go record, 263 00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:40,799 we'll go to Jared's house and we'll practice for a month without singing any 264 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,279 work. Oh yeah, yeah, we have a silent practice because there. 265 00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:47,920 Yeah, you just play the music first and then then you go to the 266 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,960 studio with bang them out one or two takes. Yeah, right, it 267 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,680 feels really good. Yeah. This time we had Mikey saying in a separate 268 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,599 booth in a different room and that went really well. Yeah, that helped. 269 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,000 It's if you get on the vocals, it's key because half the times, 270 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,200 after a while you kind of tune out from the music and your you're 271 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,759 more focused on the words of of what's going on. So you focused on 272 00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:11,400 a couple of words of all right, now I should make the change right 273 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,240 here. That's why I'm changing. And when you take that out, you're 274 00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:22,160 kind of like you're a lost all because yeah, you're like, this part's 275 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,799 happened. I was expecting this, or I was expecting that right now. 276 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,519 You guys, prior to this album, you've recorded other things. Have you 277 00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:34,799 recorded everything? Uh? At that the same studio, everything's been done with 278 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,920 the same studio, the same engineer for the Squirrels. Yeah, the same 279 00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:45,400 person, same studio, same place. Cool like him, Yeah, he's 280 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,000 good. He's right near us, so there's no reason to go somewhere else. 281 00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:56,319 Although now they say that they are making a place and I think Roger's 282 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,400 going to be moving there and withst there, so we'll be doing it like 283 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,759 in his backyard. Oh wow, like in a barn or something. I 284 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:10,519 think it's the barn in its backyard. Yeah, so you know, it 285 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,319 makes more sense for him. You can just do right at home. So 286 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,480 that'll be cool. But well we'll still be going to the same person. 287 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,359 A lot of a lot of bands in that area too, in Worcester, 288 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:22,759 so that makes sense. Yeah yeah, well yeah exactly. Yeah, you 289 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:27,400 got to go where the music is, yeah, absolutely, Yeah, he's 290 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,720 in a decent place to get to everybody. But it's not like it's easy 291 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,119 to get to everybody. By the way, the Prodigal Son has returned. 292 00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:40,359 DJ Reckless is here back. I got locked out? You did? Yeah, 293 00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:41,839 I didn't give you the code? How'd you get in? There was 294 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:47,240 somebody else coming in? No. I looked at my messages, found the 295 00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:49,039 code that was spent to me like months ago. Okay, there you go, 296 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,759 there you go. Yeah. I was checking my phone in case you 297 00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:55,000 had gotten locked out. I was like, I wonder if he messaged me, 298 00:23:55,079 --> 00:23:59,039 But I don't don't know why I didn't think too. But well, 299 00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:03,839 we were worried that because I heard you ran into the band scaredy off? 300 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,119 All right, until them at my stomping grounds.

I mean, if, h if for some reason I'm suddenly 310 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,160 worried, I can always hit the delay. But I don't. I don't 311 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,359 think. I don't think it'll be a problem. I don't think it'll be 312 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,960 a problem. I don't either.

We've really made our way 507 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,039 into like the circle of punks, I guess you could say, or just 508 00:41:51,159 --> 00:41:54,159 the of the circle of our music that we're playing. Yeah, we really 509 00:41:54,199 --> 00:42:00,960 fell in and have really grasping a hold of Yeah, a lot of what's 510 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:05,239 going on is in our Facebook live chat and says Booking shows in New England 511 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,840 during the winter is always like rolling the dice. Yeah, it is very 512 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:14,239 hot doing anything in New England. New England this summer we get a lot 513 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,800 of like these sports fest out in Boston. Yeah, it's like people's houses 514 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,440 and stuff. But we did like a lot of Saturdays and every Saturday this 515 00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:30,559 year just rain rained this thing playing outside of the rainy. Yeah, it 516 00:42:30,679 --> 00:42:32,280 was annoying. We made the best of it. People still came out. 517 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,920 A lot of people came out. Sports Fest was was a huge thing for 518 00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:39,360 us this year. Any band out there trying to make an aim for yourself, 519 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,760 sign up for these Porsch fests. Yeah. They helped out parties. 520 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,400 Yeah, small and it's a town wide thing. The town wide thing, 521 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,360 it's approved. Yeah, you get lay out in the streets and the crowd 522 00:42:51,519 --> 00:42:54,440 is just you get everything. You get everybody, the older people that you 523 00:42:54,519 --> 00:42:59,800 know everything. Yeah, it's yeah, more people can get you out there. 524 00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:02,679 You lose the label of a bar, so more people go. A 525 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:09,360 lot of people are are just not interesting because it says bar or you got 526 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,280 to go to a bar. Yeah. I lose so many people when I 527 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,800 when I market twenty one plus when it sucks to have to pull off the 528 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,440 whole age of show because where do you play It's so hard to do. 529 00:43:21,639 --> 00:43:22,920 You do this on the side of the street though, and there's tons of 530 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,360 people. Oh yeah. I even played two blocks away from Fenway, right 531 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,280 on the main strip right on. It really turned down. Yeah, they 532 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:36,679 can almost turned down. But we were We're like outside of like some fancy 533 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:42,280 like coffee cafe thing, like high rise. That's probably why right there, 534 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,480 right apartment building right behind you. And then I started down that looks like 535 00:43:46,559 --> 00:43:52,039 blue Man. Yeah. I was growing waters flying up. It got to 536 00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:54,039 a boy where all of our stuff got soaked and we were like all right, 537 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,920 there was watertill it was too much and I was like, all right, 538 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,039 we're gonna be done. It was good, but but we still had 539 00:44:01,039 --> 00:44:04,960 the best of it. You know, we had people pulling up on the 540 00:44:05,039 --> 00:44:12,119 sidewalk in their cars just filming us doing this and nowt of it. There's 541 00:44:12,159 --> 00:44:14,599 another band. You go a couple of blocks hour, there's another band. 542 00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:17,239 It's always a good time. That's awesome. Didn't you guys say something earlier 543 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:22,960 too about you went out to Ohio? You played in December. That's gonna 544 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,639 be pretty much the height of our winter. Now why has that happened? 545 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:30,079 Like like that's all what a friend of ours name Dave Strong. Check him 546 00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:35,639 out from Maine. Dave Strong, Maine, great guy, great music. 547 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:42,239 Helped us out a lot. But he's going on on tour okay, out 548 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,079 through Pennsylvania and Ohio, and we're jumping on with him for a show. 549 00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:52,079 Yea, he got this very couple couple hopefully two shows to try and get 550 00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:55,199 it more than one show. We got all these dates in the road, 551 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,199 so we're gonna try and we know some people along the way, so we're 552 00:44:59,199 --> 00:45:04,719 gonna hopefully. Yeah. Strong, he's he's supported us a lot through from 553 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,920 from the beginning. Guys. It's awesome. So anybody can check them out, 554 00:45:10,039 --> 00:45:14,760 like Dave's Strong. Dave Strong, check it out. Is he solo? 555 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,480 Artists or what he does both he does he's not a full band, 556 00:45:16,519 --> 00:45:20,760 but does does do solo. Yeah, okay, all right, cool. 557 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,159 Yeah, he's heavy into it. A lot of the people that we've met 558 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:29,360 are pretty heavy into I feel like a lot of it. It's like you 559 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,719 got you got a couple, We got a couple of guys that are just 560 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:37,679 like in everything, like, yeah, a lot of it kind of is. 561 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,960 Yeah, it's like just one person doing a bunch of things. Someone's 562 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,440 gonna have the ideas, you know, someone's gonna be making the ideas to 563 00:45:44,559 --> 00:45:47,840 the music. Steps in the chout says, you guys are so right. 564 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:53,039 All ages shows are invisible evidence why some younger people have a tough time relating 565 00:45:53,079 --> 00:45:58,280 to human generated live performances. This is true. Yeah, I know, 566 00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:01,880 go ahead, sorry. A lot of it's just tough to find a venue 567 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:07,199 or like a lot of people come from small towns and it's like you can't 568 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,440 go play a venue unless you rent it, and nobody wants to rent the 569 00:46:09,559 --> 00:46:13,719 venue because then you're hold a thousand bucks a room, right right, right, 570 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,079 then if you don't fill it, and if you don't even make your 571 00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:19,800 money back, then whatever you spend it's just kind of a waste. That's 572 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,639 why, Like I thought about doing under twenty ones, but it's like if 573 00:46:22,639 --> 00:46:27,000 I'm putting a thousand bucks to put this room and I need to sell at 574 00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:30,280 least one hundred tickets, and there's no way. Yeah right, you know 575 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,599 it's not going to happen. And a lot of people are interested in yeah, 576 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:38,119 the Dropkick Murphy. Right, if you're not mainstream, then it's like 577 00:46:38,199 --> 00:46:42,480 you're kind of like nothing, which is said because a lot of the so 578 00:46:44,079 --> 00:46:47,840 cool, so cool, it's just a lot more interesting. Support your local 579 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,039 guys. You know, a lot of bookings wanted to do though, All 580 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,440 Ages initiative from when I heard I talked to I talked to them a few 581 00:46:55,639 --> 00:46:59,760 a few weeks ago at the Justin Clancy show. Yeah, I played yeah, 582 00:47:00,079 --> 00:47:04,039 which I think would be huge. Definitely, I don't definitely help everybody, 583 00:47:04,159 --> 00:47:07,440 it would help everyone. You need a place that would just want it. 584 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,559 But you need a good place that you gotta have a place that has 585 00:47:10,639 --> 00:47:14,519 food. If you're gonna have a place that's gonna at least be underage, 586 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,039 you can do all the eighteen plus. You got to have food and you 587 00:47:19,159 --> 00:47:22,199 got to have obviously a bar, but you can just you just got to 588 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,679 have the right place and just have someone who wants to deal with like the 589 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,679 responsibility of Hey, we got underage kids here, but we also are serving 590 00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:34,800 adults as well. There used to be I don't know if any of you 591 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,559 guys remember, because this was a while ago, the Sad Cafe in Plastow, 592 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:53,719 you guys all, yeah, right, but right, yeah, yeah, 593 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,800 they used to do all ages shows. That was a great place. 594 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,079 I mean, I grew up in Fitchburg and we always had the Club four 595 00:48:01,159 --> 00:48:06,119 ninety. Yeah, I'm not familiar with that. That was all ages place. 596 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,119 It was an all age's place. I didn't even serve alcohol, yeah, 597 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,880 you know, and you know, like Matt Kelly from the Drug Kicks. 598 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:21,519 Old bands used to play there for abuse. You know, like I've 599 00:48:21,559 --> 00:48:23,760 seen so many bands there, so I can't even remember them all so many 600 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:30,639 beers. He doesn't remember, that's the beers, is it? Sam Blackchurch 601 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:31,960 played there? Oh really yeah back in the day, you know, like 602 00:48:32,119 --> 00:48:37,079 it was. It doesn't exist anymore because the scene's gone. But yeah, 603 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,360 well that's a big thing too. The scenes. Just I feel like we're 604 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:46,519 in the most unappreciated scene. It's just there's no one that's really stuff to 605 00:48:46,559 --> 00:48:50,480 play punk rockety yeah, I feel like it's stuff to play punk rockey these 606 00:48:50,519 --> 00:48:52,480 days, no one, no one's interested in what you're doing unless you're big. 607 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,880 I feel like that's the toughest thing. That's always a struggle. No, 608 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,039 I feel like all the other genres people pay attend. Yeah, well 609 00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:07,000 it's it's like a big local metal scene, yeah, scenes yeah, yeah, 610 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,679 yeah yeah. I just feel like the punk rock scene it's just really 611 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:15,960 underappreciated, undervalue. But we'll get it back. Yeah. It's it goes 612 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:22,599 on always, everything just trying to get something to the show. So it 613 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:28,480 just seems like it's very mm hmm coming from like DJing and booking, booking 614 00:49:28,559 --> 00:49:32,119 DJs out here, every things coming go like right now, right now within 615 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:37,159 his Spanish and Latin right now. Unfortunately, I mean fortunately, but like 616 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:43,679 not unfortunate. But I'll put you in a box too much. That's just 617 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,800 like us. We'll play a show for two people, then we'll play a 618 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:51,119 show for decent I go for thirty people and you're like, all right, 619 00:49:51,199 --> 00:49:52,920 this is awesome, Like but right, all depends. You gotta do the 620 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,519 grind, you know. That's what we've been doing all year. We probably 621 00:49:55,559 --> 00:49:59,039 played over fifty shows this year. But a lot of it is just to 622 00:49:59,159 --> 00:50:01,239 get out there up. Yeah. Yeah, sometimes you're just playing for the 623 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,760 other bands and everything's right now. That's when I went on Like that's like 624 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,960 when I went on tour Austin, Texas, we sold two tickets, but 625 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:15,400 Nashville we sold two hundred. Yeah. There's also the connections you make along 626 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,239 right right. Yeah, we've seen a bunch of touring bands, you know, 627 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,880 and it's like we used to play Monday Tuesday nights. Yeah, you 628 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:28,039 do that again any night of the week. Yeah, at that point, 629 00:50:28,159 --> 00:50:30,719 I'm mad. I'm bad, was at that point though first. But you 630 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:36,079 know, when you're first starting out, even even just to make the connections 631 00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:37,880 with all their bands, and you got to get yourself out there, play 632 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:43,559 the Monday night shows exactly anybody Tuesday do you say yes to? Never who's 633 00:50:43,559 --> 00:50:46,760 going to be there either exactly? Never say no. You never know who's 634 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,760 going to be there, and just going to that one show could lead to 635 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,559 you getting onto it instantly. Just be in there. It just makes you 636 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,400 could you could be on another show that same night, just like hey, 637 00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,800 now, yeah, we've played shows and all of a sudden, we leave 638 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:05,440 that night and we got three more shows right just because talking like I'm running 639 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,599 into that now with like with like weddings and stuff like that. I'll play 640 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,119 play clubs and they'll be like, hey, we have a wedding for you 641 00:51:10,639 --> 00:51:19,039 down the line.
