Guys, you sound amazing, Thank you. That was fun. Absolutely
absolutely. Now let's let's start with you, sir. Can you each tell
us your names and what you do in the band. I'm Stefan. I'm
the front man. I guess I'm that guy. But I played a guitar
and sing and then Shane and I will switch and I'll play drums and I'll
take Ian's bass sometimes just for a song. Yeah, yeah, that's what
I do. You know, it's it's a good time. We like it,
okay, all right, and you sir, I'm Ian. I played
bass and synthesizer. Okay. Stefan also like books all of our shows.
He forgot to mention that he's great and records all of our songs. Well
yeah, he does every cool. Cool, that's good, that's good.
I do that. I didn't want to talk myself up too much. I
understand, very humble. Nothing wrong with that. You show the desk,
dude right to come here, come and take the death, you know,
sure, sure, sure, I thought we were there, but all right,
and you my name is Eric Sobzinski and I play guitar in the band.
Is that it? Because everybody else does like a million different things.
You just played guitar. Oh and you singes sing I've been trying out on
other instruments so slowly, Betroy, Yes, yeah, I don't have me
on other things. At point we gotta can you can you pull that mic
up closer? Yeah, just having a little trouble. Uh, I'm glad.
Oh there we go. Yeah, and finally you, sir, I'm
Shane. I'm predominantly drumming, but the rest of the time I'm singing playing
guitar. Very good, very good. Yeah, that was a surprise to
see you guys switch instruments. But that's uh, that's cool. Um,
how long have you guys been around? How long has uh the try Combs
been a band? As a band has existed since twenty fourteen. Um,
so we're almost in the ten year mark. But this crew of of homies
has been about three is shears? Yeah? Yeah, we're missing one our
keyboardist. He's uh he teaches piano. Oh okay, he had to teach
piano, you know. Yeah, yea, his job, you know,
other than being in the band, right, Yeah, he does come to
the gigs. That's that's what matters. That's good. Yeah, that's the
important thing. Um, where does the name come from? The try combs?
What does that mean? It's the hairs on plants. Oh okay,
if you look up try coombs you'll see a bunch of weed. But you'll
also see that in Latin it means hairs. So I was actually like touching
a tomato plant. I was like, hmm, that smells good. Why
is that? Technically it's slowing down transpirations, so when air is going over
the plant, it is releasing less, losing less of its water to the
air through its leaves and it helps it stay hydrated. Oh, it's all
like science hydrated with tunes. Just do with that. And I mean,
I mean, we grow CBD. So if anybody needs any check out New
Hampshire hamp COO. Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty cool. So you have
an actual company, yeah, that company. Yeah, we're license to the
state and everything CBD flower and tinctures. Yeah, we sell it out our
gigs. Wow. Wow, are you guys all all of you do that
together? Or Eric does his own thing with with the real stuff, but
you know where it's legal, right yeah? Yeah? Is that? Um,
how much of a hassle is it to set something like that up in
the state? Is it is a difficult It's not terribly difficult other than just
doing like a background check and now you're supposed to say it's super difficult.
Nobody else for one of the only Hampshire's definitely not many. There's there's thirteen
licenses out or something, but oh wow, it's it's not profitable. I
wouldn't I wouldn't tell you anybody should do it. Really, there you go.
It's smart, but it's cool. No musician just plays music like they
got some side hustles right right, gigs every day. It's like, yeah,
man, I'll just be on the side of the street, be really
hot right now. When you guys, Um, when you play out,
do the songs change because it seems like the way the way your music is,
you know, it kind of lends itself to that you can kind of
experiment and improvise. I would think is there a lot of that with the
with your songs the structure stays mostly the same, but we definitely don't play
the same like solos or jam sections. Yeah, and sometimes we'll add like
different teases of different songs, different covers or something in there, funny little
things. Sometimes we'll take a song and split it in half and then take
two songs to them together. Yeah, and then we'll play them at completely
different parts. So then all sudden you're like, wait, is it that
song again? You know, right right, It's like every show is not
the same, because otherwise we'd be boring, you know, yeah, yeah,
I get bored. Yeah, we have to play the song, so
we have to continue to trying to make new music and add new parts of
the performance every time. You know. Yeah, that makes sense. Um,
So you guys must be able to like do do full nights, like
do do like three hour shows at places. There's some of that, but
like a lot of the times festivals so we're just yeah, they'll be like,
hey, come play this festival, and then the next weekend they're like,
hey, we have another festival. And then eventually after the past like
five years has gone by, we're like literally playing every festival that happens.
Yeah, yeah, Northeast at least, you know, what, do we
have like eight weeks in a row for the next couple. Yeah, we're
not wow, weekend off for a while, but you know it could be
worse. Yeah, I could have to work at my real job. Right,
Yeah, there you go, there you go. Um, So when
you're not obviously the summertime, there's a lot of festivals. What about the
rest of the year. Do you guys stay pretty busy or do you ever
have points in the year where you're not as busy. It's like the winners
kind of like, let's record, so like you have a home studio,
we have more time. We take time to record or right on tour,
you know, so we'll tour for usually a month, try to get somewhere
warm. Yeah. Booking is honestly hard in the winter in New England because
it could snow at any point. Yeah, all a sudden, you're about
to play a gig and you really canceled. Yeah, or you have band
practice is canceled, right, it's right. So yeah, we take the
winner to be creative and go south. Yeah, and there's just less venues
around here. You know, there are a handful of bars and stuff you
can play, but it's you know, summer is just nice. You can
play outdoors anywhere or you can play indoors anywhere. So yeah, is um,
do you guys do any covers or or do you have reduced stick to
originals? So we do like a handful of covers this because like sometimes you
show up to a new city and nobody's seen you guys yet. Yeah,
to check it out. You like this song, you know, so now
you like this song song? Predominantly originals for the most part. Yeah,
yeah, and we definitely like change our covers up from what they were originally,
yeah than like ours. Yeah, yeah, I definitely put our flavor
into it. Do you do you ever do covers whereas somebody doesn't know it's
a cover and then they come up to you and they're like, yeah I
really like that song, and yeah a lot of them. We've definitely done
some pretty obscure covers to like the theme song to the show Doug and stuff
like ye things like that into turtles, Like, yeah, we do themes
for every show, so we'll be oh, the theme for this is this,
so we're like really, yeah, well we'll try to think of songs
that have to do with that, you know, as a intro or something
like that. Yeah, Like we're supposed to play Cisco Brewery last summer,
so we learned Cisco Kid Ben War. Yeah, we're like, oh right,
Cisco Cisco brewals were like Disco Kid. You know. We're like,
I'll bring us to that, pa, Like what the actual words are?
Right? You know? We want to we like to make people laugh and
dance. Yeah, that's usually our goal. Yeah. Um, how does
the songwriting process work with you guys? You all write together or is there
some spontaneity to it where he's just kind of jams. We're like, hey,
man, it's your turn to write, Like you have a song,
right, Like we all have what one on the back burner and I'm like,
yeah, man, I got like eight riffs and twenty core regressions and
then we just kind of take that and just cut out the fat and make
it into something good. It takes a while. Yeah, Usually one guy
comes with an idea and then everyone else helps finish him and put his thoughts
together type of deal, right, because we'll just one of us will be
like, not that doesn't sound good, screw that, you know, yeah?
Or that sounds great? Well? Usually yeah, like in a practice
we can have a new song. So it just takes, you know,
wow, the criticism of each other and also just thinking of like, how
are we going to take the segue from this part to this part? Yeah,
basically like, oh, that's a really cool riff. If we did
it slower and heavier, it'd be a really cool breakdown, right Yeah.
Yeah, and we do. We have a buddy who will like he'll come
over and like just drink some beers and whiskey and be like, oh yeah,
man, I got some lyrics frere like the Cowboys song. We wrote
all those like We've got We've Got drunk. That night we were like buying
the lyrics, are like, no way, man, that's so funny,
like just like going like such an authentic pure song. Because of that's like
you can feel like how funny and great of a time it was. Yeah,
just remember that evening. Yeah, and Kyle, how do you know
these guys? Um? I was my first band I was ever in was
with Ian Um and I said I could play the bass, but I lied.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I play bass. It's funny.
I did my best, but yeah, he's obviously substantially better. Um.
Also, how long have I known you? Twenty? I don't don't.
I don't think. I don't know. We met in elementary school.
I think, oh wow, I got grounded and so I wasn't allowed to
hang out with my friends, but I could hang out with my sisters friends.
And Kyle was the coolest one of my sisters. Yeah, right that
that but yeah it's UM's but it's way too long. But yeah, in
finding my first party, he introduced me to all the cool stuff. Yeah,
shout outs Ian. He's not punk anymore, but I still love his
Who was the last time he went? I got a job, bro,
grow up? You know it's funny. We were talking about dreadlocks earlier.
Remember I told you as they wait till the hair comes. Yeah, yeah,
you go anywhere and they're just like, so you guys with the band,
You're like, how did you know? Right? What was the band
