tracks at the end of the last hour. But uh waylam Park is here
with us live in studio. How are you guys. Yeah, glad you're
here. Glad you're here. Let's see, I'm gonna kind of adjust the
mics as we go, but let's start in the corner here and we'll go
around the room. And if you can tell us who you are and what
you do in the band. Justin I played guitar, sometimes leads, sometimes
rhythm. I also songwright. All right, my name's that the beat Man.
I played drums for these crazy guys. Okay, well, I play
guitar both leading rhythm. All right, welcome. I am Brendan. I
am holding it down on the bass for these guys. All right, and
you're holding a microphone. You've got the one, you've got the one handheld.
I wear many hats. There you go, and uh, let's see
and wow, your mic is really low and I don't know, oh you
know what? Go yeah, now I'm closer to the mic. My name
is still Dakota next to the vocals. Yeah, well that mic is low.
I don't know what. Can you just tap that with your finger?
Yeah? Yeah, it's not usually like that. I don't know why.
We're not used to him being that quiet? Yeah. Can you hold him
down with your mic? I'll switch him up. We can share one,
I think. Uh, go and talk talk a little more. I'll talk
continuously if you want me to. Have got a lot of things. Yeah,
you could possibly talk about. You just got to talk right into it.
That's fine. Yeah, I just got to be direct. There.
You sing us a little song? There you go. Oo you want to
sing us a song? You don't have to no song. You guys are
playing tonight at Terminus and Nashua. Is that correct? Yes, sir,
absolutely, very good, very good. Now, how did well? Actually,
let's start here. Where are you guys from? Because I know you're
not you're not local to this area. We would claim to fame from western
mass in general. We're from like a whobunk town out in the woods.
I Brendan am from southern New Hampshire, so this is kind of my backyard.
Oh okay, yeah, I'll name drop. Well, let's are from
the town Athol, Massachusetts. If anyone's ever heard of it, probably not.
Oh yeah we had uh, we had somebody else on the show from
Uh. I can't remember who a long time ago from that same town.
I wish I could remember the name of the band. Probably know them.
Yeah, you probably do, like a three piece punk band, but from
that area. So uh do you guys? Have you played a Terminus before?
Will this be your first time? No, this is our first time
to going there. I'm pretty excited. Well, everything sounds really weird.
It's driving me nuts. This is unusual. Let me let me just try
something else here. Well, weird sounds help if we know the mics just
sounds strange to me. It's just you, Maddie, No, it's definitely
not just me. Let me see something here. That's that might be about
I don't know, check it. Yeah, but no turnouts. The first
time playing at God, first time playing at Terminus, I'm pretty sure.
What do they opened like last last November? Right? Well, what's we're
excited to be a part of. It's kind of new. Yeah, yeah,
very good. Oh, I'm so glad we like to chip in to
be new. So glad I fixed that. That was driving me nuts.
Okay, now we can relax and have a real conversation. Good, good,
Good. Do you guys play out a lot? Do you do a
lot of shows? I would say we do enough. Definitely the busy season
right about now? Yeah, yeah, we probably hibernate in the winter a
little bit and then you know, summer comes and we ice off. Yeah.
And how do you describe your sound because I hear a lot of different
influences in there. Colectic. Yeah, that's actually a word that I'm thinking
from a few other people. I like to try to coin the term bathroom
funk. You know, it's kind of gritty, it's dirty, it's still
funky. It's got something you can kind of move your pants to, right,
you know, it's that song you hear in between that's in the bathroom.
You're not always sure what it is what it got you moving? Right?
That is a bathroom funk is not a genre that I've heard of before.
I like it, that's the goal. Yeah, how do the rest
of you guys feel about that label? Are you comfortable with? I hate
the label, but I don't I Don'm not a decision maker here, So
you don't call the bathroom funk no, I mean I have tiptoe around it.
I just it was gonna like indie all funk, punk, progressive,
and so it's a bathroom part. That's the issue for you. It's not
the funk, it's just the bathroom. Well, the combination and bathroom.
It's not a good combination where right, bathrooms are dirty? Right? Yeah.
We struggled to term it a little bit because I think there's not really
a genre that you can't hear in our music. Yeah, I mean you
might say country or bluegrass, but I know that that influence is there.
You know it's there for me. So yeah, Yeah, how long have
you guys been around? Have you guys? This has bad been around a
while? Or yeah, going on five in November? I think, Okay,
has it always been this lineup, No, no for a couple of
years. Justin and I have been making music together for since like twenty and
thirteen. We've had a few different projects. This specific group of people I
think is two or three years. Okay, yeah. The first time we
played together was in like summer jam camp out in Maine in like twenty twenty
two. Yep, that's right when I joined the band. So I'm the
most recent to the band. Okay, Okay, cool, we should play
another track. We played standard issue? Do you got I don't know if
you guys have a single that you're pushing or if you sent me this album
exactly. The music you have is actually incomplete. We uh, oh,
we have yet to master it. This is a project we've working on for
a long time. Okay, so we just sent you kind of like the
rough cuts, so the best we got going on, which we're cool with.
No, they sound they sound good the mixed, so we're actually pushing
the whole album. Okay, you're the first person we've trusted with this.
Oh well, we're very many people, but pretty much nobody's heard it really.
Oh that's awesome, all right, Uh, what what should we play
next? Do you have a do you have a pick or any anything anything
specific that. I mean, we we'll probably have time to play them all,
but let's do cards poetry. I'm just gonna say Card's poetry, okay.
And I just got to make sure I grabbed the I. I made
a radio edit of that one. That was the only that was the only
one we had to do that with, which was nice. But uh no,
I listened to it and it's it's a really it's really good. So
what should we know about this? Uh? Is there a I felt like
there was a story behind the song when I was listening to it. It
was just the jam. Actually. I think we showed up at practice and
and we kept it that. I'm pretty sure with that one. Okay,
Yeah, we actually a lot of our songs do have a story, and
this is the one to not that figures. It sounds good, though,
Why is it called Picard's poetry? Is there a meeting behind the night?
Absolutely nonsense? Some call it nonsense, some call it poetry. All right,
cool, Well, let's take a listen to this and then we'll talk
with these guys some more. We have Whyland Park here with us live in
studio. Check this out. This is called the cards. Poetry is how
we roll shouting the mind with the shot too far. Now went the stars
and the Roman villains reach more. The ceiling b the guy was a really
bad ceiling. It's a catch bee a blasphemy. Would you add to me?
Now I'm out here sitting on my at sea, you're still chilling.
I got a breastwate that trips with valor, trying to let my love and
take a nice long shower. Lost my love, so I lost my power.
It looks by to call again in an hour. Love got quickation,
I got quicker love got me dead. And the filmy in the shirts you
hat the story of a quitter story squipt sure now he dot the ribs and
more. She's not what you're told me, what you shouldn't turn like the
storm moods. All right, all right? That is that is called Picard's
poetry. That is Wayland Park. Yeah, yeah, great song, great
song. We've got the guys, We've got the whole band here with us,
live in studio, and uh where do you guys record? What's the
recording process like for you? Uh? So, I'm the bass player,
Brendan, and my father has always been a recording and near he's done it
professionally and or as a hobby as I've grown up, Like he used to
co own a recording studio up in Maine, and that's a good dad to
grow up with. Huh. Yeah. Yeah, so he was like basically
wrapping that project up by the time I was born in nineteen eighty nine.
But he's always had a recording rig and microphones and he collects microphones. Yea.
Anyway, he's pieced together a really professional studio now in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
Shut out Sean Carton. Yeah, Sean Carton, that's my father,
and we call it Mansion Studios. Yeah. So yeah, we are open
to uh, we're looking to do some recording work. If somebody's looking to
be recorded, you can reach out to the band and about it. Excellent,
excellent if you like what you're hearing. Yeah, yeah, totally not
the reason we had him in our band, by the way, Yeah,
we didn't even know about it. The reason we kept him in the band.
Oh okay, okay, Well it's a nice surprise, right when you
find that. I was like, oh okay, I'll leverage whatever I can
to stay. Yeah. No, that's that's awesome, and so these are
not so I think we're kind of talking partly off air. These have not
been released yet. You're still correct. Do you have any kind of an
ETA on when they're going to be out or I you know, I was
really hoping you weren't going to ask that question. However inevitable it would be.
Yes, We're gonna really go in hard here and say that the album
Good Gravy will be released before one of our upcoming fat music festivals, which
is trout Stock. Okay, I believe what is that August? I think
it's the end of July. The end of July, Oh, the twenty
fourth. I believe the weekend of the twenty fourth. Yeah, I'm shout
out clearly on trout You guys rock. Thank you boys are on the road
listening to us right now. Have a great show this week? Oh excellent,
excellent? Hey where does the name come from? This? Actually we
were talking about you guys last night on a different show than I do.
I'm a co host on a show called Retrospectrum Radio and talking about I was
plugging today's show and the host Polly c He asked me who I had on
and I mentioned you guys, and I did not realize that. I guess
Whaleam Park is an old amusement park. Is that where the name comes from?
Yeah, Whalem Park was an amusement park that was actually opened for like
one hundred and eight years out. They opened in like eighteen ninety five,
I think, and they closed in like two eight or twenty ten, okay,
and they were at Lunibar. There are a bunch of condominiums. Now
it's quite sad. Oh okay, Yeah, somebody in the chat room was
saying that, yeah it's an apartments now. Yeah, they're not even good
ones. Yeah. I got a cup with me and my sister on a
ride on it. Oh, no kidding. So why choose that for the
name? Do you guys have just good memories of that place or why draw
the name from that? Yeah? It was early on. I guess we
were just looking for something that would be like nostalgic to central Massachusetts where we're
from. Yeah. Yeah, it was just where we're from, kind of
something that like whenever we heard it before before it was a band named right,
like, oh shit, remember that that place is amazing. Excuse that
French. We're on a we're on a delay. I caught it. You're
amazing, thank you, But but yeah, that that was really it is.
It was just kind of nostalgic to us. I guess we wanted to
label our music with it. Yeah. Yeah, Spelfie uh in the chat
room said something about the the label bathroom bath bathroom funk. What did she
say? Something about a reminder of a dirty bathtub? Exactly what we're going.
We love thank you, Shelfy. And she also said we love Leon
Trout. Oh yeah, she said, yeah, it's it's condos now,
yeah, where that used to be. Do you guys, uh? Do
you guys have a lot of songs that you haven't recorded or because obviously you've
been together for a while, you said, what five years, you must
have a lot. I would, I would. I think I would say,
like our catalog is probably like close to like a thirty to like thirty
five song catalog. Wow, some of which we have just decided to part
ways with entirely. Some of which, like we wrote, we used to
have keyboardists and just different dynamics and different organized like stuff. Yeah, it's
just not we're gonna move on from all the We probably we probably have eleven
recorded that we keep, and then there's probably another fifteen or so that we
do play out sometimes or are in like work in progress. Yeah, you
know. Yeah, so we do have like another probably another albums worth the
record, but we might split that up between an EP and an album over
the next year or two. Okay, at least my internal plan. Probably
have another solid five to ten in the works. We've been writing a lot
of music together, and yeah, definitely i'd say five to ten ideas started
that like a factor pretty exciting sometimes just sit down and pump out like three
or four in a day for a week. Is it is it hard to
write us at list with all that that music, or do you guys have
kind of a standard batch of songs that you do every show? Or how
does that work? Because you've got a lot of two so like, actually,
one of the that's kind of one of the cool things about having the
eclectic like sound is we usually kind of based it off of the bands we're
playing with, you know, so if they're heavier, we'll go a little
heavier, lightier, funkier, whatever. Yeah, you know, And a
lot of the time it's like we know we're gonna start or close with this
and then he just tells us what the room's feeling, right, right?
How come he gets aside? You don't, I'll decide to got but yeah,
d code is easily better with people the rest of us. Really,
Yeah, bring big front man energy. Yeah yeah, there you go.
There you go cool? Cool? Do you guys, do you find that
because your sound is kind of eclectic that you you have a lot of does
that open up a lot of options as far as you can play with massively?
Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah. Yeah we'd probably put in the least amount
of work and get handed the most opportunities. Really yeah, yeah, thank
you everybody that being one of them. Yeah, I think it's I think
it benefits us to be so well rounded, both like with musicianship and outside.
I was like, yeah, people in general, Yeah, no doubt,
no doubt. What's is is there are there any particular bands that you
kind of team up with as far as shows that you play a lot of
shows with. I know from my own experience sometimes that happens sort of organically.
You just one more shout out to Leon trou Oh there you go,
swim in there so hard. Yeah, you play a lot of shows with
them? Any chance we get they're awesome. There's a bunch of bands that
like I like a lot and wouldn't play with anytime. Yeah. Another New
Hampshire band on the tri Combs there, we've had them on the show.
Yep, they're great if you're in spealthy circle. I'm sure you guys have
heard like Dog Eate Dog. Maybe Cosmic Blossom, Oh, Cosmic Blossom,
Yeah, oh I love those fans. Yeah, any time of band like
that wants. Yeah. We've had Fredo from Cosmic Blossom on the show a
bunch of times with various projects, you know, because he's he's always got
a bunch of stuff. Every group that any of them starts as awesome.
Earth Mark was great, Yeah anything, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well
let's uh, let's play another track? What should we uh? What should
we go with next? You guys got out the middle? Believe that reference?
How about? Yeah? Sure, let me look at what we've got
here. I don't know if I remember that one. Like one of our
one of our hats that we don't wear is remembering remembering your song. Yeah.
Uh, we've got your Mom's, uh, Mecca, Mecca and Ralph
the three. We haven't played your Mom's Yeah, long version is your mom's
underwear? There? Oh my, there a story we wrote nobody else somebody
else wanted to name. It's extremely profound, so spite. We did the
opposite it it was. You said, well, yeah, well, well
it's all relative when it comes to spite. You know, one man's spite
is another is another man's non spite. Your mom's underwear out of spite for
the profound. All right, that's an interesting interest. Well, because you
could, you know, you could call it your moms and then in parentheses
underwear out of spite. So let's do that. Let's change it live on
the air. That's what we're gonna do. It will be your moms and
in parentheses. Agreed, Why don't we call it your mom's under here?
No no, no, we're sick, we're alive on air. Oh so
then people say underwear. I get it, I get it. No,
yeah, but no, that's that's well that there's a bare Naked Ladies song
where they do that. Great. No, you definitely can't. Yeah,
now you can't. Well, but they're Canadians, so it doesn't count.
Oh that's true. Yeah, I'm Canadian. Counts just metrically. Oh,
if there's a Canadian in the band. Yeah, I think there. Yeah,
we didn't. Actually we weren't aware he was gonna. You know now
that you know when you have a connection, you're yet, you're done,
you all you said it on there, But he's Canadian, Dakota set.
It counts just in centimeters. Ah, I see that's for the other show.
That makes sense. All right, all right, let's give this a
listen. This is Whalen's Whalem Park. Get that a lot? You get
that a lot? Do you really wait? I think I think I started
to say Whalen like I was gonna say Won Jennings or something. Yeah,
that's also very different. No, Whalem Park. And this is called your
Mom's Wow taking rocks in falling the snake sor really wish I could make the
follies at them a little elm to bain the game more. They go display
this boy language in Monday, so said hellow wanted me to let so say
bad. Want me to get the burning do and the little fills are running
me? Di have the Selma has. It's just a junny line, not
words. If I have the breathing, maybe I can today is the way
that thing I'll take. So said hello, I want to let me do
So said hello, I want that any say not a stand times it is
so good. That is your mom's and potentially a bunch of stuff in parentheses
from Whalem Park. Whalem Park is here with us in studio on this Saturday
morning. Great track. No what I what I started to say about,
you know, because I'm a bass player, so I you know, I
listen. I mean, I listen to everything, but I listen to the
bass and there's a I don't know how else to describe it, but I'm
I'm I like bass players who are propulsive in their playing, like your bassline
in that and the other songs too. But it's really evident in that it
kind of propels the song along. It's not just there it it's like it's
what's driving the song forward. Does that make sense? Yeah? Absolutely,
it's yeah, it's well you said it, it's very driving. Yeah.
And I guess I'm reminded of something Dakota said to me when I joined this
band, which I think, as the new guy, maybe you tend to,
you know, try to fit in more than be showy or be loud
or anything like that. And I think the first or second practice, Dakota
looked at me and said, we want you to really play that thing.
Yeah, yeah, that in this band. Okay, yeah, so yeah,
I I don't hesitate, you know, so right, So there was
no pressure on you to try to learn what the previous bass player did or
anything like that. It was more just you know, do you know,
just kind of go for it and put your own you know, probably yeah,
free rings. Yeah. Yeah, there's only pressure to make it good.
There's only pressure to make it good. Yeah, yeah, no,
that makes sense. That makes sense if you are just joining us. We
do have Whale and Park here with us in studio, and for for people
who are just joining us, we should make sure we mentioned the show again
tonight you're going to be a Terminus and Nashua. That's right, eight pm.
Hope to see everyone out there. And uh, who else is on
the show with you? We got Greenwood Fire, I believe, And who's
going is it? Oh? No, I got a check now. I
feel like I know it's in the spellfy Hammas in the chat room. I
know she put it in there, but I got the oh yeah, Greenwood
Fire and uh Sunset Electric like solar electric. Yeah, well better, we've
we've had a Sunset Electric on the show too. Fantastic fantastic band. I
was listening to them both last night and they both sounded pretty cool. Yeah.
Oh and hot dogs at four that's all we're looking for, baby?
What what brand? Anybody know what brand? So? Yeah, I heard
you guys talking about hot dogs earlier. Huge hot dog guys out here,
at least me. I'm I'm speaking for everybody for sure that we love hot
dogs. Get us to Manchester eleven am on a Saturday. Yeah, hot
dogs. So it's about the hot dogs, all about that. Yeah,
we're not talking them like six dollars ballpark bonus bags, you know, right,
We're talking like natural caseings, all angles, beef, right, the
real deal. We're hot dog connoisseurs. Sure, sure, I hope,
I hope though we don't have a misunderstanding. We don't have any hot dogs
here for you guys. You know, I wasn't expecting healthy. Okay,
good because Helfi's got the hut. Okay, because because you mentioned, you
know, to get to Manchester on a Saturday at eleven am, I'm thinking,
oh god, I hope they don't think we have hot dogs because we
have no hot dogs. Wait, there's no hot dogs. We have no
hot dogs here. We're gonna have to pause this till we talk to Spealthy.
Now I have to ask you, though, since you guys, you
know you like the hot dogs, are you picky about them? Because I
rarely eat hot dogs, but I'm very picky about them. I'll eat them
grilled or and seemed as okay. Fried is okay, even though it's terrible
for you. But I personally think that eating a microwave hot dog is one
of the most discussing things a human being can do. And yet I know
people who think, oh, no, microwave hot dog is fine. I
think a microwave hot dog is absolutely disgusting. I also don't like them boil.
I don't like to say that he won't let me boil. The microwave
was my first food version, actually, a microwave hot dog. What do
you mean it? It tastes like radioactive? But do you like that or
are you okay? Good? Good? Because some people might like that microwave
foods, so I have no problems like awave the sucker right away. Yeah
we're good. Yeah, microwave hot dog is it's just because if you watch
it in the microwave like it, things happen to it. The that started
to swell, it's lesions. You don't eat things it doesn't look healthy exactly.
You never seen it in a show, but I know that you don't
eat things with lesions, right, agreed, agreed? Yeah, I mean
that's just, uh, you know, if you're if you're watching it cook
and you're watching disturbing things happening to it, it's not something you should eat.
So no, picky, is what you were saying. No, I
mean I treat hot dogs like I treat milk. All right, I'll take
in any way it comes right. I just prefer uh, and I'm over
another. I'm basically opposite. I'm all talking. When it comes to hot
dog, I probably won't eat any. I also don't drink milk. I
don't like I'm here to eat twice as many hot dogs. Yeah, yeah,
I don't like. How do you guys feel about them boiled? Because
I don't like that either, because last case scenario, man, because the
problem there is so so something beads to them. When they're boiled. They
get like misshaping a little bit. They become like almost squiggly or something.
Yeah, it bothers me though, I don't like it. It gets a
similar thing to the microwave where it starts blowing up and getting weird. Yeah
the ends, but the microwave is far worse. So I mean that's just
like that's disturbing microwaves. The microwave boil hybrid child, which is the steamer
steam hot dog is a different thing. Steamed is okay. I don't know
about steamed is okay. I have to see how they have it boiled.
Oh you gonna steam the bun too. I mean you can't be wet.
You know we're not going well, it's got a wet bun is the worst
gross You guys, you guys, You guys like hot dogs and macana though
right likely with ketchup. Okay, I raised I'm on the ketchup part,
but I'm not gonna hate you for it. I like that, you know,
I put ketchup in my mac and cheese. Yeah, I don't understand
it, but I think I'm not a lot of people who do it,
but I do catch up on everything people do it. Do you like ketchup
on eggs? Oh? Yes, yeah, some people do not not fried
scrambled fried eggs hole just one fork. I don't do no, I don't
like breaking the yolk with my teeth. Now, according to uh Spelthy,
they are going to be grilled. Apparently, you guys are What would what
would you do if you got there? And and she I want to see
an angry person? No, no, but what if what if you got
there and there was she had a microwave and she was putting, what would
what would you what would you even do? And that's the only way you
can have a microwave, not even cold. I could start on the engine
she's got, she's got a generator stuff pick up like four microwave. I
would because, I mean, because you know, you don't want to be
rude and not take the hot dog at that point. But you don't know.
You'd have to. You'd have to have an excuse, right, like
I just ate sorry, Yeah, I just say I can't microwave hot dog.
Yeah, I'd go right to social media hot dog party. Turns out
that's a microwave hot dog party. Yeah, Yeah, you'd have to,
right, you'd have to. You're gonna go to the Three Huggers and make
it about the environment. She bought one hundred and forty four hot dogs.
That will do I think, yeah yeah, light work, light workunnel.
So in other words, you better get to the show early, but there
will be no hot dogs. Last dog show, get there. See that's
a good way though, because I used to promote a lot of shows,
it never occurred to me that's a good way to get make sure bands are
there plenty early for load in. You give them hot dogs. That ever
occurred to me is that? And it doesn't get them drunk right exactly,
and you put food in their stomach before yeah wow, oh yeah, so
double right, here we go. So it's like a psychological trick. That's
smart, that's smart. Yeah, yeah, that's a very good idea.
Well, let's let's play another track. So we've got I think we have
two left that we have not played. So we are we like you to
play Mecca Mecca. We'll play that one. Yeah, all right. If
you're chuckling, I feel like there's a story just because having a good time.

we have a green room at Terminus with beverages and we feed our bands
and hostages. Are what Dakota wanted for his green room request? Yes,
did you so? Do you have like a rider that you give the promoter
and you know, just a verbal list of demands? Okay, okay,
what one demand? Oh that's it? Just just the hot dogs? Yeah?
Yeah, do you guys have another good demand? Honestly, people keep
doing the hot dogs right right? Well? Yeah, if it works,
it works. We've been paid in hot dogs more than we paid in cash.
