29
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,120
You know these uh, these these names, I want. I

30
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,240
try to make sure I pronounce everyone's name correctly. Jenny

31
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:54,360
witnessed me, uh just almost panicking over while he ended

32
00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:56,159
up not joining us on the show. I guess we

33
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,680
had booked earlier at Pha Zacherle or something, and it's like,

34
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,759
I don't know how to say this name, so I

35
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,840
probably would have butchered it anyway, telemarketer. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

36
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:11,319
no kidding, no kidding. So welcome guys. First question, of course, uh,

37
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,240
where does the name come from? Because that's obvious. You

38
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,439
know it's sick dude. Hell yeah, it's not a not

39
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,800
a a conventional name for a band, shall we say?

40
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, No, it's actually it's kind of a funny

41
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:26,319
story and it's actually it's it's it's pretty simple. We

42
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:28,920
were jamming one day and we had like an idea

43
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:32,519
we wanted to do some type of band together, and uh,

44
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,920
I forgot about a cable. I had to split my

45
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,639
bass into two signals. Yeah, cigued, let's let's give that

46
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,079
a shot. We did that, and our first jam session

47
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,759
like after it I was like, sick dude, and Nate

48
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:48,079
hell yeah.

49
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we just kind of it's been the mantra

50
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,680
since day one. Is just like every time we finish

51
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,240
like making some kind of new addition to a song

52
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,920
or like come up with like the first sick rip

53
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:03,199
for like whatever, it's just one of us will stay

54
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,360
sick dude and the other one will say, hell yeah,

55
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:08,199
it doesn't It hasn't been decided who's who yet.

56
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: But you know, right, that's awesome, So it makes sense.

57
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,680
It makes sense. The name is appropriate. Dillan, tell me

58
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,160
about the splitting of the Uh oh, sorry, I don't

59
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:24,519
have the video on me. I have it on you guys,

60
00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:27,279
so people can't see him fidgeting with my microphone. Tell

61
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,160
me about the splitting of the signal. I'm curious about this.

62
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,600
And when you mentioned that too, you guys probably know

63
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,120
Able Blood, right or did you guys know the band

64
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,319
Able Blood? I think so now because there's a lot

65
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,920
of okay, because there's a lot of splitting of signals

66
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,920
with with their whole setup. So I'm curious about this.

67
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,920
So tell me about an. I'm a bass player, so

68
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,319
selfishly i'm also very curious.

69
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:53,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, so originally it started with just a split

70
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:56,519
a quarter inch cable. Yeah, that come off my base

71
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,560
and basically one signal just goes straight into my bass

72
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,600
amp and they just cranked the gain on that, and

73
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:07,800
then the other signal goes through a pitchfork and so

74
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,240
I just have to pitch shifted up in octave and

75
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,399
then into a fuzz pedal and into my guitar.

76
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 4: Okay, so that gives you a really just a heavy yeah,

77
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,120
like like there's it's it's great. I love the way

78
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:21,680
it sounds.

79
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 5: Yeah cool, yeah, no, thank you and yeah, So I

80
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,399
mean I guess the goal was to try to just

81
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:29,720
like mimic a guitar but have bass as well. Yeah,

82
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,560
because where we we're from, it's, uh, it's pretty tough

83
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120
to find other musicians to jam with.

84
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, where are you guys from Wolfborough, New Hampshire, wolf Burrow.

85
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,759
So there's plenty of musicians out there, it's just not

86
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,839
ones who want to make like super you know, in

87
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,639
your face kind of stuff like this testosterone fueled caveman jam.

88
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,079
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah. Able Blood does something kind of like

89
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,560
what you described. I forget how they because they also

90
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,199
have that a lot of bottom end and you know,

91
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,079
it's it's really their setup is really interesting because there

92
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:08,759
you know, it's three of them, but they sound they've

93
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,600
got this huge sound. You should check them out. But

94
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,720
who else is in the band? It's not just it's

95
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,160
just it literally is just the two of you. Yeah,

96
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:22,879
that's amazing. That's that's awesome. Okay, do you do you

97
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,199
have plans to add members or or is this working

98
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:29,000
so well with just the two of you? And and

99
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,360
I mean it's not like it hasn't been done I suppose, right,

100
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:33,079
but there's not but to be able to pull it

101
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,439
off like like you do, it's pretty cool. Like I

102
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,800
think of the White Stripes when I think of you.

103
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,759
Speaker 3: Know, most legendary duo of all time, yea for maybe

104
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Tenacious D. But yeah, yeah, now I think that like

105
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:47,920
we're not necessarily closed off to it. It's just, uh,

106
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:49,519
for one, it's a matter of ease.

107
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,199
Speaker 4: Yeah.

108
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: For two, it's a matter of you know, having people

109
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,839
like you ask us questions like that, and that feels

110
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:57,240
really good to kind of stand out in a way,

111
00:07:57,319 --> 00:07:59,839
you know, But nothing's completely off the table. Like if

112
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,199
if some other riff lord wanted to saddle up and

113
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:06,800
could do something, uh that made us say either sick dude,

114
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,759
hell yeah, or both then welcome aboard, frankly. But but

115
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:13,279
we're not like, we're not like, uh, there's no like

116
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:16,480
now hiring, sign up or anything. We're perfectly content to

117
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,360
just move forward as a duo. There's a soft spot,

118
00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:23,199
excuse me, a soft spot in my heart for musical duos,

119
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,560
like just yea and across the board.

120
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: So and if it's working, it's working. Yeah, so far,

121
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,439
why I mess with it?

122
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

123
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: How long is sick Dude hell yeah existed?

124
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,919
Speaker 5: Oh hm, I think maybe almost five months?

125
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, this really new.

126
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

127
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,159
Speaker 3: We met in a different band and then, uh, I

128
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,039
guess I'll just say creative differences kind of drove us apart,

129
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,200
but then drove Dylan and I together, and okay, we

130
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:55,279
just kind of picked up in the same practice space

131
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,799
where they left off, and we're just like, let's just start, uh,

132
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,840
let's just start riffing around. And we had two songs

133
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:02,679
by the end of our first practice and we're just like,

134
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,480
sick dude.

135
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:08,399
Speaker 4: You so you guys were in that other band together? Yeah, Oh,

136
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,679
what do you want to say? What band?

137
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: Redacted?

138
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,879
Speaker 4: Redacted? Okay, yeah, not somebody I know. Or are you

139
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:17,200
saying you're redact reacted? Okay, will you tell me off air?

140
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 5: Sure?

141
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,159
Speaker 4: I won't repeat it, I promise, Yeah, I don't. I don't.

142
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:25,039
I don't repeat anything, right, Jenny, there you go.

143
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:27,519
Speaker 3: Do you have a little reverb on your mic over there?

144
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on over there?

145
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: All right?

146
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 4: Sounded very strange. I'm sorry. Yeah, she's she's booking guests

147
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:35,799
for the show.

148
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:36,879
Speaker 5: No.

149
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,919
Speaker 4: But uh so that's so you guys had already worked

150
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,759
had you worked together for a long time in that band?

151
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:42,879
Speaker 5: About a year?

152
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:43,399
Speaker 3: About a year?

153
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:43,759
Speaker 2: Yeah?

154
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah? So where do you record? Because obviously the sound is,

155
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,399
you know, it's a really raw you know, uh, which

156
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,519
I love personally. I like that, but it's it's it's

157
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,720
got that sort of raw sort of vibe. But I think,

158
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:03,399
but I think it's really cool, Like, how do you

159
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:04,559
guys record? What's your process?

160
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 5: So we actually our practice space is adjacent to a

161
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,759
small studio that's a friend of mine, nice and so

162
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:16,200
we just we recorded with him. Yeah, and the way

163
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,600
we did it, I know, we used a few different

164
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:23,039
amps and had some amps and different rooms, but we

165
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,399
were definitely going for the overall like demo kind of

166
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:30,000
rougher sound because we thought it would fit fit our

167
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,120
vibe a lot better.

168
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, that's cool. Yeah.

169
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,799
Speaker 3: We just we just did the instruments in one take

170
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,159
and then vocals in another takea and just kind of

171
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,840
like went into pro tools and just polished up everything

172
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,759
so that it wouldn't be so that it had a

173
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:44,639
little bit of polished But we didn't want to go

174
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,159
in and like overproduce it either. We were more concerned

175
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,240
with getting it out and just kind of having people

176
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,759
listen to it. We can, we can polish something up

177
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:52,759
later if we feel like it.

178
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,639
Speaker 5: But you know, it's yeah, and I think that my void.

179
00:10:56,759 --> 00:11:00,559
We didn't get in vocals and instruments all on one take.

180
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:01,919
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

181
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh that's cool. The the radio edit that we heard,

182
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:10,960
like you did that yourself, the editing on that, the

183
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,279
putting in. I'm curious.

184
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:16,159
Speaker 5: So I gave my buddy a call who initially recorded us,

185
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:18,759
and I let him know what was going on. He's like,

186
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:22,960
come on down, yeah, we'll put something together. And he's

187
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,320
a goofy character as well, like me. I mean, we're

188
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,480
just hanging out and initially we're just gonna do beeps.

189
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:30,440
And I was I wish the thought just popped in

190
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,320
my head, like why am I just gonna do bleeps?

191
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,559
Why don't I have some fun with it?

192
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

193
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really cool. I love how it came out.

194
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: In one of the songs on the EP, you can

195
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:46,600
hear the producer making some barnyard noises just in the background,

196
00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:49,320
Like that wasn't either of us. I might have leaned

197
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:51,120
up to the snare drum mic and joined him.

198
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:56,519
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's very cool. Are you guys playing out

199
00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:58,240
a lot or what's what's that like?

200
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: So it's been kind of a slow start, which has

201
00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:05,120
been fine. We did we did one show at actually

202
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:08,360
a wicked cool local indoor skate park in Rochester called

203
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,720
Red Alert, okay, and that was a blast. And then

204
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:14,080
as far as shows that are books that we have,

205
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,399
we only have one coming up in Plattsburgh, New York,

206
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,559
on April nineteenth over at Peabody.

207
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: The Occasion.

208
00:12:22,759 --> 00:12:25,519
Speaker 5: It's so it's a four to twenty fast Yeah, okay,

209
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:27,799
my buddy's in Lungbuster. They put it on.

210
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 4: Okay, but it's the nineteenth, so it's uh you said.

211
00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pre premature, proactive.

212
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 4: Yeah that's good. That's good.

213
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: That's for the real go getters of the four twenty

214
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,240
Crawbreo thereo.

215
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,039
Speaker 4: So that's it now, how did how did you get

216
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600
involved in that? Getting on that bill?

217
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 5: So I used to be in a I used to

218
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,000
drum and a doom metal band a couple of years ago,

219
00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:55,799
and I played a show with those guys and.

220
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: Who was the band? Can you say?

221
00:12:57,639 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, we were called Grave Tripper.

222
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 4: Okay, oh that's a cool name.

223
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was wicked. It was a fun project. Yeah,

224
00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:08,159
but as far as like things went, and we just

225
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,600
kind of all decided to part ways. But but yeah,

226
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:15,480
so I met those guys at a show we played,

227
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,399
and I thought they were cool, they were fun to watch,

228
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,840
and yeah, I just hit them up on Instagram and

229
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:23,279
you don't let them know. Hey, I'm starting this project.

230
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,000
If if you guys ever need an opener or you know,

231
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,840
need to fill a bill, feel free to hit us up.

232
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,759
Speaker 4: Oh very cool, very cool. That's in Plattsburgh, New York. Yeah, okay, excellent.

233
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,519
Have you guys played out much or I know it's

234
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:38,639
a relatively new problem.

235
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: Really just that show at Red Alert was our first,

236
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,120
our first and only gigs so far where uh you know,

237
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,000
we're wide open like our you know, we we work

238
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,399
and have day jobs and stuff like that. But you know,

239
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,000
get us on your get us on your bill, get

240
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,159
us in your basement, get us on your I don't

241
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:02,120
play your birthday, your birth We'll play whatever.

242
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 4: But I would imagine when when you guys are out

243
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,519
there gigging too, that you know, other other bands that

244
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,240
you play with are going to really appreciate the you know,

245
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,279
whereas this just two of you. You know, it's not

246
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:19,080
because I, like, I used to play in a lot

247
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,840
of bands and I don't know anymore, but I don't

248
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,559
play anymore, but I know how like like sometimes when

249
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:25,039
you're on a bill with a bunch of bands and

250
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:27,960
you've got a band that you know, they're a five

251
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,360
piece metal band and they've got all this gear and

252
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,320
it takes them forever to get set up and then

253
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,440
the tear down and you're waiting and waiting and waiting.

254
00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:36,240
But when it's just two of you, oh.

255
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: No, where a sound guy's dream come true.

256
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,559
Speaker 4: I would imagine, Yeah, that's cool. And making the sound

257
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:45,039
guy happy is always a plus.

258
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: It's miles where other actions go yards, Making the sound

259
00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:52,759
guy happy goes min.

260
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, absolutely so have you both played in a

261
00:14:57,679 --> 00:15:00,720
lot of bands before this project or yeah, I've.

262
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: I've been in all kinds of bands, Like you know,

263
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,440
I had like a little garage band that didn't do

264
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,320
anything with some friends. In middle school. We were called

265
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,080
rubber Band, you know. Yeah, and we wore rubber bands

266
00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:16,879
on our wrists because we were in the band rubber Band.

267
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

268
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:20,639
Speaker 3: It was well now, yeah exactly. And then we would start,

269
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,360
you know, shooting them across the classrooms and getting them

270
00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:25,720
taken away by teachers and stuff like that. But that's

271
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:28,919
good for our middle school things. In high school, I

272
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:31,399
was in a group called Idiosity Killed the Cat.

273
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 4: Okay.

274
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,799
Speaker 3: We we got kind of kind of big like in

275
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:38,000
our town, like and you know, people would come out

276
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,600
to see our shows because we were really the only

277
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,320
like thing like that coming out of the town, which

278
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,759
was Natick, Massachusetts. Bag shout out Natick, Massachusetts. They're, uh,

279
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,360
they've got a lot of music going on there. There's

280
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:50,759
it's actually become quite the cultural hub.

281
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: Good.

282
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: But in my high school days it was less so yeah,

283
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:56,039
and it's just it's it's really cool.

284
00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

285
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,759
Speaker 3: And then like more recently, I was in like a

286
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,360
ska psychedlic Fusion kind of band called Massachusetts the Band.

287
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:06,240
As you can see, we're just great at naming bands.

288
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,600
It was in like a gloom like glam doom rock

289
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,240
outfit for a while called Votes that I sang and

290
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,559
played tambourine for. Really yeah, just you know, all kinds

291
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,240
of projects to keep me busy. I'll quit hogging the mic,

292
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,320
what about you, don.

293
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 5: So I haven't really been in too many bands. And

294
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,919
in my early years of high school, like eighth grade

295
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,320
through maybe sophomore year, I was in this crossover band

296
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,960
called Silent Violence and we played a few shows here

297
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,159
and there. But somewhere in my sophomore year I was

298
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,320
perpetually grounded pretty much like every other week through the

299
00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:50,159
rest of high school. That kind of hindered my ability

300
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,200
to be in bands, yeah, because I wasn't following the

301
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:57,320
rules there. But after high school I did a lot

302
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,360
of like solo acoustic stuff for for a long time. Yeah,

303
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,680
and it was fun. It was fun because I had

304
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,400
the ability to travel and not have to be around

305
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:13,079
one area for too long and still be able to

306
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:13,640
do music.

307
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,319
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.

308
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,799
Speaker 5: And it wasn't really until until Grave Tripper that I

309
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:19,400
started playing in bands again.

310
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 4: Oh no, kidding, yeah. Yeah. The thing about doing like

311
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,160
in a solo acoustic thing is it's it's very liberating,

312
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,680
I would think, right, because you can book yourself wherever

313
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,519
and you don't have to check with anybody on their

314
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:32,599
schedule or anything like that.

315
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely play whatever songs you want too.

316
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 5: Yeah.

317
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, was was it hard for that reason? Was it

318
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,359
hard to transition back into into playing in a band?

319
00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:42,319
Speaker 6: No?

320
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 5: No, Actually, for me, it was. Uh, it was nice

321
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,880
to finally transition back into a band because for for

322
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,240
a long time I was trying to get back into it,

323
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,400
but just wasn't able to find the right people. Yeah,

324
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,319
to make to make sounds with, you know. And uh,

325
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,119
I just think being in a group of people and

326
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:05,000
all kind of finding that like vibe and that like

327
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,920
wavelength we can all ride together is something really special.

328
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we should play another track. What do

329
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,839
you guys think we should play next?

330
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: Sit them with my void because we talked about it

331
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:16,920
a little while ago.

332
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:17,799
Speaker 5: You read my mind.

333
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: This is the one that we recorded everything in the

334
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:21,319
same take.

335
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,319

00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:46,279

351
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,519
Speaker 4: I love it. That is called my void. The band

352
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,640
is Sick dude. Hell yeah. Do you guys refer to

353
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,319
yourselves as a band when there's two of you? How

354
00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:19,839
does that work? Because you sound like a band. It's

355
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,039
always it's hard not to call you a band because

356
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:23,119
you've got such a big sound.

357
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 6: You know.

358
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sure we both tell our respective partners

359
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,079
we're off to band practice, you know.

360
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes sense. And

361
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,519
I enjoy now that I know you're set up, dyugh,

362
00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:39,839
and I just I really I enjoy listening to it

363
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,799
even that much more now that I understand what you're

364
00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:45,799
doing there. That's really cool. And what's going on with

365
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,920
the vocal there, Like what's the vocal effect on that?

366
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,839
Speaker 5: I know he ran distortion on it. Yeah, And well,

367
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,920
initially when I started the band, I always wanted to

368
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:58,480
learn how to do like metal screams. Yeah, and I figured, like,

369
00:22:58,599 --> 00:23:01,119
I'm never gonna learn if I don't try, and even

370
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,039
if it sounds like crap, I'm just gonna wing it

371
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:06,200
and right right, And that was kind of the idea.

372
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:10,359
And just to kind of a what do you call

373
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,839
it to omit like dread through the sound of it?

374
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 4: Are you able to? Are you able to do that

375
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,559
without hurting your your throat?

376
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,759
Speaker 5: I mean I am now? I am now.

377
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,559
Speaker 3: During the recording process, not so much.

378
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 5: It took a little bit. There was one point I

379
00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:36,920
lost my voice for probably like for like a week

380
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,319
and a half.

381
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:38,319
Speaker 4: Oh really Yeah, And.

382
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,279
Speaker 5: That's when I realized, like, oh, I gotta start watching

383
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,440
some videos and you know, taking this a little bit

384
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,119
more seriously.

385
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:48,759
Speaker 4: There's that that legendary one that people talk about to

386
00:23:48,839 --> 00:23:51,440
this day. I think it's called the Zeno. Is that

387
00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:52,599
the zendom screaming?

388
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: You know that one?

389
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 4: No, there's a vocal. I cannot remember her name, but

390
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,519
there was a point where, like everybody I knew who

391
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:04,920
was doing any kind of aggressive vocals would talk about

392
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,960
learning from her. But I think it was actually this

393
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,039
was quite a while ago now, because I remember people

394
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,799
talking about a DVD, but I'm sure it's on YouTube now,

395
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,160
it's on Blu ray now yeah, maybe.

396
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 5: Maybe.

397
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that effect that was just uh again just

398
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:23,319
the producer which I shut out John at the sound

399
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,640
of and by the way, but the uh, he was

400
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,400
just you know, kind of throwing some little effects on

401
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,440
it to kind of beef up that vocal thing. Yeah,

402
00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:35,519
when we do it live, I or when we did

403
00:24:35,559 --> 00:24:38,279
it live that one time I tried, I try to

404
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:42,160
like do like a secondary yelled vocal in the background

405
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,559
to kind of just like fill it out.

406
00:24:43,759 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

407
00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're neither of us are very gifted metal singers.

408
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,960
You know, we can both kind of hold a scream,

409
00:24:53,079 --> 00:24:57,799
but then it hurts the next day, right right, Well, when.

410
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,559
Speaker 4: You're dropping too especially, that's gonna be hard, right. I Mean,

411
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:02,640
you don't see that many drummers who sing and I.

412
00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:04,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done that in a couple of bands. In

413
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,559
that band Massachusetts of the band I was I was.

414
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,599
I did lead vocal on a lot of songs, but

415
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:13,519
was backup vocal for most of the songs. Like, the

416
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:15,599
leader of that band really wanted us to focus on

417
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,680
three part harmonies and we were a three piece, so

418
00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:19,519
it was like, oh, I had to do what we

419
00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:22,079
had to do and I had to learn and uh, yeah,

420
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,279
I get to take some of that some of that

421
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,880
knowledge into this band, which is cool.

422
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, I would imagine that was challenging because obviously

423
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,200
as a drummer, well, singing, so much of it is

424
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,920
breathing controlling your breath and drums is the most physical

425
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,880
instrument because you're using all four of your limbs and

426
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,200
it's you know, and at the same time, you got

427
00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:42,079
to really kind of control your breathing if you're trying

428
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,319
to sing while drumming. I was imagine you.

429
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: Really got to. You gotta treat your your breathes in

430
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,440
and each syllable that you're singing like it's on the

431
00:25:50,519 --> 00:25:52,640
grid with what you're drumming to, like it has to

432
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,920
like you're not just hitting your right hand on the snare,

433
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,440
you're also going ah like while you're hitting it, So yeah,

434
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:03,559
you have to internalize it like it's part of the

435
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,400
drum set, but it's coming through you. That's been my way.

436
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 4: I've never heard anyone explain it that way, but that

437
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,160
makes sense. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

438
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,519
Speaker 3: A little tip for for beginners like me.

439
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now, how many songs do you, guys, Everything that

440
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,200
you've written so far? Is that on on this, uh,

441
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:25,440
this debut release or do you have others that you

442
00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:26,359
haven't recorded yet.

443
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,279
Speaker 5: We have two others that we haven't recorded yet, okay,

444
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,119
and we got a few more in the works as well.

445
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, and this I forget is it self titled

446
00:26:35,319 --> 00:26:37,319
the debut? Oh?

447
00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 5: What do we called it? E? P?

448
00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 6: Like?

449
00:26:39,519 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 7: E E P?

450
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,599
Speaker 4: That's that's right, I forgot.

451
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a spur of the moment decision. There

452
00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:48,160
was there was a it was a sick.

453
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,559
Speaker 5: Dude, hell yeah moment. It was like should we call

454
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,480
it E E P E? You know, like sick dude?

455
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,160
Hell yeah.

456
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 4: I'm always I ask everybody. I'm always curious about influence,

457
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:02,000
it says, and from talking to you guys so far,

458
00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:06,400
I would imagine that you both have pretty diverse influences musically,

459
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:08,279
but I'm curious to hear about some of them.

460
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:14,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, so big influences for me, A lot of Black Sabbath,

461
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:18,839
a lot of James Brown. Yeah, yeah, a little bit

462
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,599
of everything. Yeah, you know, I mean I grew up

463
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,599
listening to a lot of Johnny Cash. Yeah, and I

464
00:27:24,759 --> 00:27:27,960
was lucky enough to have parents who loved cool music.

465
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,559
I mean, so I was exposed to bands like Blind Melon, Sublime,

466
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,880
all that kind of stuff at an early age, and

467
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,839
like Alice in Chains, So that took like a that

468
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,680
was a big role in kind of shaping my taste

469
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,359
in music. But yeah, a lot of a lot of everything,

470
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,559
and especially like like metal, punk rock, a lot of

471
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,200
underground stuff, but also anything that's just weird and different.

472
00:27:51,559 --> 00:27:55,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt. How about you. Yeah, I

473
00:27:55,839 --> 00:27:57,519
don't know what to call it. Do I call you somebody?

474
00:27:57,839 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: You could just call me Nate. I was being I

475
00:27:59,599 --> 00:28:01,799
just because I didn't know, if you know, I make

476
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,359
art under somebody's crackers, somebody's crackers, So.

477
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,279
Speaker 4: I didn't know. Do I call you somebody's Do I

478
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,799
do I call you some for short?

479
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:08,079
Speaker 5: Yeah?

480
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 3: You call me call me crackers. You can just call

481
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,039
me Nate. That's my name, yeah, perfect. I've never really

482
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:17,640
thought about how people are supposed to call me. When

483
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,559
I introduced myself as somebody's I don't know maybe if

484
00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:21,160
it was SC.

485
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 4: You know, you just use initials for for short. I

486
00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:24,920
wasn't sure.

487
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: I've done some raps as somebody's crackers, and after I

488
00:28:28,079 --> 00:28:31,319
refer to myself as SC. Yeah, I think the best

489
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,960
there ever was, but the best that ain't yet be SC.

490
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:37,519
Something like a Lil Wayne Gretzky. It's funny how nobody

491
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,319
gets me like no soap radio or no coke PEPSI anyway?

492
00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:43,519
Speaker 4: Is that online?

493
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 7: Uh?

494
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:45,559
Speaker 5: Sort of? Uh?

495
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,279
Speaker 3: Me and my friend did a project called America's Funniest

496
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:50,799
Home Videos, and I used some of that rap in

497
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,599
one of the songs. That's cool anyway, What was the question?

498
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:55,839
Speaker 8: Though?

499
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,079
Speaker 3: It's about musical influences. I've been exposed to music from

500
00:28:59,119 --> 00:29:02,160
a very young age. My folks were in a band

501
00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:04,519
full time when I was born. They were called the Candles.

502
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:06,839
They played all around like New England and most of

503
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,480
the Eastern Seaboard and they just uh, is that the

504
00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:13,759
same thing as the East Coast that I just try

505
00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:16,079
to sound smart but sound like an idiot anyway.

506
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,519
Speaker 4: I feel like the seaboard is when people say I

507
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:23,200
feel like that's more like the East Coast is more

508
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,319
like the Upper the Upper East, well the Upper East

509
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,839
Coast like like New England and down down into New Jersey.

510
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,119
I get like, that's the East Coast, but the Eastern

511
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,440
seaboard would be the whole eastern side of the country.

512
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: Thing Anya, I think that's where they played. Yeah, they

513
00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:43,319
they had original music, but they really packed. They packed

514
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,920
bars and venues and stuff with their Grateful Dead covers.

515
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,160
As a results, I'm not the world's biggest Grateful Dead fan.

516
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,880
But I don't hate them, but I don't love them,

517
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:56,079
but I love everything. And like I said earlier, I

518
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,559
particularly identify with duos, people like Steely Dan, like Ween,

519
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,039
anything that's just been two people getting together and creating something,

520
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:07,440
like even if it evolves past more than two people,

521
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:09,599
like what it did in both of those cases. But

522
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,599
the white stripes, sneaker pamps, fevery corporation, just anything that's

523
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,920
two people. Daft punk just always really speaks to me

524
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:22,400
because it's really all you need to take. Like like,

525
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:27,240
singer songwriter stuff is in like one pocket that's ever

526
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,240
growing with like the way people are getting more and

527
00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:32,599
more creative, but a second person can take singer songwriter

528
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,920
and just turn it into a full blown composition. And

529
00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:38,079
I just like, I have such a hard time working

530
00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:40,920
as a solo artist, like I need that other person

531
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,319
to bounce something off of. And so yeah, so other

532
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,960
bands though, I've like, uh, I really love like Manu

533
00:30:49,079 --> 00:30:50,680
Chau and his band Mono Negra.

534
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:51,759
Speaker 5: I love.

535
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 3: What have I been digging on a lot lately, King

536
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:01,559
Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Gong who else? I love

537
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,039
like psychedelic rock, but I love like garage rock.

538
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:04,279
Speaker 4: Two.

539
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,599
Speaker 3: I love rap music, like particularly like underground hip hop stuff. Yeah, yeah,

540
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:13,759
a certain era of popular rap music that I still

541
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:15,400
really love. A lot of people will call me an

542
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,519
old head for that, but yeah, there's a lot of

543
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:21,680
that stuff I love, like the nineties, two thousands, even

544
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,240
some of the early twenty ten stuff like Asap Rocky.

545
00:31:24,319 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah me too, really really good stuff.

546
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, I love everything as long as it's

547
00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:33,000
like authentic, it makes me feel something, and bonus points

548
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,920
if it's like something I haven't heard before.

549
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,359
Speaker 4: Right, Right, There's so much great stuff out there. And

550
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,039
you know, a lot of people, they get older, and

551
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,519
I think the average age for this is probably around thirty.

552
00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:43,880
A lot of people they reach a certain point in

553
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,920
their life where they say, Okay, I've heard all the

554
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,279
music I ever need to hear, and anything made after

555
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,200
this I'm not going to like. And it's too bad,

556
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:55,440
it really is, because you miss out on so much.

557
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,680
And you mentioned bands just now that I haven't heard

558
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,000
of that now I'm curious about just because you know,

559
00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:04,359
you mentioned him. It's like, okay, because but yeah, I

560
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,000
always grew up, you know. And and Jenny is like

561
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:08,720
this too, Like we both love here. I mean, that's

562
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:10,319
part of why we do a show like this because

563
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:13,519
we love hearing new music and new music that maybe

564
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:15,920
hasn't made it to the mainstream. And you know, and

565
00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:20,839
and uh, my dad, you know, he's in his seventies

566
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,359
and he lives on the seacoast and he's still at

567
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,039
his age. He'll listen to w u n H, the

568
00:32:26,119 --> 00:32:29,279
great college station there because he loves hearing new music.

569
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,440
Like if you got in a car with my dad,

570
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:34,519
you're not gonna hear an oldies station on his radio.

571
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:34,799
Speaker 2: You know.

572
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 4: He's not that stereotypical boomery. He loves hearing new music.

573
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,279
And he's always been like that, you know, and even

574
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,119
like and he likes hip hop. He like, you know, yeah,

575
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,240
it's it's amazing. So you know, so, I mean he's

576
00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:49,920
he's sipper than me. Like he'll he'll ask me about

577
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,400
a band he heard on w U n H and

578
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,079
I'm like, I don't, I don't know who it is.

579
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:56,799
And it's like, wow, you know you're having me on this.

580
00:32:57,039 --> 00:32:58,880
But but yeah, and I and I think it's so

581
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,559
important to you know, I mean, yeah, it sounds like

582
00:33:01,559 --> 00:33:03,599
you guys both have a real commitment to to hearing,

583
00:33:03,839 --> 00:33:08,839
hearing and exploring new sounds, which then informs your own

584
00:33:09,319 --> 00:33:12,039
musical output and and helps you to be more creative.

585
00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:14,000
The more the more you're exposed to, the more creative

586
00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:21,519
you're gonna be. Right, Yeah, No, So I think I

587
00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:23,160
think that's great. I think it's so important to have

588
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:26,640
a diversity and and uh and influences and all that.

589
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,039
Speaker 5: So yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean our our main goal,

590
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,160
I think collectively is is to just have fun. Yeah,

591
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,960
you know, make some loud sounds, smash some stuff, and

592
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:38,200
you know, have a good time.

593
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: Meet some people, help some people feel good.

594
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,359
Speaker 4: Absolutely, well, we should, uh, we should play another track.

595
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,440
What do you guys want to play next?

596
00:33:49,559 --> 00:33:54,279
Speaker 3: Sitting with the title track. Yeah, it might be he

597
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:55,680
might have sent it to you as sdh.

598
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm looking right, that's why. Yeah, it says sh

599
00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:00,440
wide and through me. Yeah, God got it?

600
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, nice going.

601
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,200

And now do you guys? Obviously it's almost spring and

630
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,519
then summer will be here and a lot of the

631
00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:39,039
bands we know, you know, they play a lot of

632
00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:40,559
shows in the summer. Is that kind of the plan

633
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:40,800
for you?

634
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:41,039
Speaker 8: Guys?

635
00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:42,519
Speaker 4: Are going to be get getting out there a lot

636
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:42,920
this year?

637
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,559
Speaker 5: We hope to Yeah, yeah, I mean that's the goal. Yeah,

638
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,639
that's the goal. Absolutely. Yeah, Because it's summertime, people are

639
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:55,199
going to be out and you know, at the same

640
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,800
time too, as far as next winter goes, I hope

641
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,000
to be playing just as much. Yeah, because I feel like,

642
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,159
especially you know, in the East Coast in the winter,

643
00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:08,599
having something to go do is super important. Yeah, you know,

644
00:37:08,639 --> 00:37:10,800
and then some of the most fun shows I've been to.

645
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,239
For some reason, I've always been in the winter time

646
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,239
really Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I think I have

647
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,559
something to do with just like uh like being cooped up.

648
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,519
Speaker 3: You know, releases twice as nice yep.

649
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's a good way to uh you know,

650
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,199
to fight the winter depression and all this seasonal depression

651
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,760
that which is especially bad here in the Northeast. So yeah, no,

652
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,880
that's cool. Yeah, I want to see you guys live.

653
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,559
I love the I love what you're doing. I love

654
00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:40,480
the energy of it. And do you guys are there?

655
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,719
I mean, what is you both live in wolf Burrow?

656
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:44,599
Speaker 5: Or yeah?

657
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 4: Okay, like are there other bands there or that you

658
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,840
guys can kind of team up with for shows? Or

659
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,480
what's the scene like, I mean, I know Wolf Burrow,

660
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:55,079
It's it's not a big place.

661
00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:55,519
Speaker 2: I know that.

662
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 4: I think I believe I've driven through it.

663
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 3: Once once or quick drive through yeah blank and you'll

664
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:03,039
miss it.

665
00:38:05,039 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 5: It's uh, it could be a little tough scene wise there, Yeah,

666
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,559
because a lot of it's just a lot of it's

667
00:38:11,639 --> 00:38:15,119
bar bands, yeah, you know, and it's it's mainly covers.

668
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:15,679
Speaker 4: Yeah.

669
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 5: Finding a place to play your original songs up there

670
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,239
can kind of be like pulling teeth. Yeah, I was

671
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,920
fortunate enough one time to play on the Winnie Bell

672
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,679
and that's like the boat that goes out on the

673
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,519
lake out there and yeah, yeah, and the dude who

674
00:38:32,039 --> 00:38:34,960
hired me to play hadn't heard any of my music. Yeah,

675
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,119
and my acoustic solo stuff was very rooted in punk

676
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,039
rock as well. A lot like the Stoogest kind of deal,

677
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:45,679
and a lot of it was making people feel uncomfortable,

678
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,840
which was something I enjoyed, like as a musician. And

679
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,840
I got to say, it was like the perfect show

680
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,000
for it because I get on this boat and it's

681
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:57,400
all these like older people or like like high class,

682
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,239
sophisticated type folk and we go out on the boat

683
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:03,679
and I looked like a maniac that day, you know.

684
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,599
And I hop on the microphone like is everybody ready

685
00:39:07,639 --> 00:39:10,239
to get weird? And it was just like dead silence.

686
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,639
Speaker 4: Those people were not expecting on a boat with Yeah,

687
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:15,719
that was the best part.

688
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 5: They couldn't get away.

689
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,039
Speaker 6: You know.

690
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 4: That's great, that's funny. Well, so then how did it go?

691
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:23,920
Like how did the gig go? How did people react?

692
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,199
Speaker 5: My girlfriend really enjoyed it, yeah, and the rest of

693
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,400
the people were, I think just waiting to get off

694
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,079
the boat because sometimes it's.

695
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's fun in a situation like that that to

696
00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:36,400
see if you can win people over, you know. But

697
00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:39,679
it doesn't sound like that was a crowd that necessarily

698
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,840
wanted to be one over.

699
00:39:41,519 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 3: No, I tried, that's funny. I drove them back to port.

700
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:45,599
Speaker 6: Yeah.

701
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:50,159
Speaker 4: Did the guy who booked you, did he ever book

702
00:39:50,199 --> 00:39:50,920
you again? Or was that?

703
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 6: No?

704
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,559
Speaker 5: But not necessarily. I don't think it was a matter

705
00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:59,719
of a matter of me burning the bridge.

706
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was like, he wasn't upset with you. No, No, No,

707
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,599
he was because he probably he probably knew what he

708
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:07,760
would He probably figured out he had he knew me,

709
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,800
so he knew maybe it would work. Yeah, because I

710
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,039
used to do so. I used to in addition to

711
00:40:13,079 --> 00:40:14,559
playing a lot of bands, I would promote a lot

712
00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:17,079
of shows, and I put on shows various places, and

713
00:40:17,519 --> 00:40:20,920
I always kind of and and from a business standpoint,

714
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,400
this was probably not a good thing, but I would

715
00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:25,880
kind of like to test the limits a little bit

716
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:28,599
in terms of just seeing what would happen.

717
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 6: You know.

718
00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 4: Okay, you know, we got this metal show we're doing,

719
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,480
but we got this one act that's a little more

720
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:37,960
hip hop, you know, but we're going to put them

721
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,159
in there and see what happens, you know, just to

722
00:40:40,199 --> 00:40:43,639
see what happens. And and sometimes it ends up going well,

723
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,519
you know, because sometimes people who may not think they want,

724
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,639
uh some sort of variety in the in the show,

725
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,039
when you know, when you got a bunch of bands

726
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:55,239
and this one act that's different, sometimes you know, it

727
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,320
may go over well and it turns out these people

728
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,119
actually enjoy what they're seeing.

729
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's like that's how some people find

730
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,800
out that they like rap music. Like I'm not even kidding.

731
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,239
That is how some people find out they like anything.

732
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,880
As you throw like a wild card band onto a

733
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,519
bill and then all of a sudden, you've got somebody's

734
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,119
entire like world being opened up in front of their

735
00:41:14,159 --> 00:41:15,920
eyes to something they were completely blind to.

736
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 4: And it's just that is very true. Yeah, yeah, and

737
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:25,519
especially with hip hop, I think, yeah, yeah absolutely do

738
00:41:25,559 --> 00:41:28,079
you guys uh so, I mean long term, do you

739
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:31,719
want to like tour around New England and get out

740
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,280
and kind of go everywhere or I.

741
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 5: Would like to yeh would be great. Yeah, we we

742
00:41:37,559 --> 00:41:40,000
haven't had that discussion together, but I mean that's definitely

743
00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:44,320
like a lifelong dream and goal of mine just to tour,

744
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,519
you know, and uh play basements all over the place.

745
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Some people listening probably don't even

746
00:41:52,639 --> 00:41:54,079
know what you mean when you say that, you know,

747
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,960
basement shows, because people who are people who've never you know,

748
00:41:58,079 --> 00:42:01,159
even been near you know, the punk Rocks or anything

749
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,000
like that, probably are like, what what does he mean

750
00:42:03,079 --> 00:42:03,760
play basements?

751
00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:06,159
Speaker 5: Exactly what we mean.

752
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: We mean, pack a bunch of sweaty people into your

753
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,400
basement and charge him five dollars or three beers to

754
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:12,000
see us.

755
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,519
Speaker 5: And uh bacant warehouses.

756
00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

757
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,079
Speaker 5: Some of the best shows I've actually, you know, best

758
00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:21,639
shows I ever been to take a place in basement

759
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,159
or or a squat house. You know, It's always interesting

760
00:42:26,199 --> 00:42:28,199
because you never know what you're gonna get, you know.

761
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,840
Sometimes you walk into place and the only rule is

762
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,960
don't hang on the pipes, right, exactly exactly.

763
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 4: I want to make sure we get another song. And

764
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,719
what do you guys want to play next? We should

765
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:41,280
play another one?

766
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we should do Nailing the Coffin.

767
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 4: Nailing the Coffin, all right, Yeah, I gotta get a

768

to it too, that one goes over pretty well.

804
00:45:35,519 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably our favorite to like play. Yeah, I

805
00:45:38,519 --> 00:45:41,760
feel like if we're when we're practicing, if we're like

806
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,239
that last one wasn't so good, let's play Nail in

807
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,679
the Coffin and kind of just like bring us bring

808
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,599
ourselves back to ground a little bit, you know.

809
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,039
Speaker 5: And yeah, yeah, always always brings up that energy morale.

810
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:52,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

811
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now, do you guys have any covers? A lot

812
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,000
of bands will throw in a cover. I'm just curious.

813
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,079
Speaker 5: So we've been trying to figure out what what to

814
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,239
cover and what we could make work.

815
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

816
00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:10,559
Speaker 4: I can imagine like like some classic Sabbath like Sweetly

817
00:46:10,679 --> 00:46:11,159
for something.

818
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 3: We do have a Sabbath song on the chopping block

819
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,000
to learn for covering which one was it?

820
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,039
Speaker 5: Hand of Doom?

821
00:46:18,159 --> 00:46:21,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah I can I can picture that. Yeah,

822
00:46:22,039 --> 00:46:22,400
but yeah.

823
00:46:22,559 --> 00:46:25,159
Speaker 3: I I've been in a lot of bands, some of

824
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,280
which have played covers. I have like a weird moral

825
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,079
hang up about covers because, like, so hear me out, okay,

826
00:46:34,079 --> 00:46:36,480
very curious. If you play in a band that does

827
00:46:36,599 --> 00:46:39,760
mostly original songs and you play a cover live at

828
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,840
like say a bar or something, you have suddenly become

829
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,360
the disappointment jukebox for the entire audience because a couple

830
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,840
of people in the audience liked the cover song. But

831
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,280
then they're like, hey, can you play leather and Lace

832
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,119
or like something? And you can't. You play leather and Lace,

833
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:01,519
you can't play free Bird, you can't play Sultans of Swing,

834
00:47:01,679 --> 00:47:04,280
you know what I mean? Like suddenly you can't play

835
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,480
what they all of a sudden want to hear and

836
00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:09,599
what they've tricked themselves into thinking they're there to hear.

837
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,559
That suddenly you owe them something. And so with me,

838
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,480
I like to play covers if it really means something

839
00:47:16,599 --> 00:47:19,679
to me, Like if I can get something emotionally out

840
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,920
of performing this song in front of people, play a

841
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,639
cover all day long. But I'm not just gonna play

842
00:47:27,039 --> 00:47:31,880
you know, wagon Wheel because it'll does that make sense?

843
00:47:32,039 --> 00:47:33,079
Speaker 5: It does? It does.

844
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 4: I can relate to what you're saying, and.

845
00:47:35,039 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 3: No shade to anybody who makes a living playing covers.

846
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:46,679
That's that's not what I vibe with musically, you really speaking.

847
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I can relate to that tremendously because you know,

848
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,280
I played a bunch of bands and I always fought

849
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,800
against doing too many covers. It would be hard to

850
00:47:57,039 --> 00:47:59,199
talk the other people I was in these bands with

851
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,880
out of doing any covers. But like I was in

852
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,920
a hardcore band. I was in a band called First Shove,

853
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,199
and like the one cover that we were doing was

854
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,320
we did Last Breath by Hate Breed and that was

855
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,360
okay because it was short and it wasn't with that

856
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:17,880
kind of situation, It's not like somebody's not going to say,

857
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,840
you know, okay, now do you know free Bird?

858
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

859
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:20,639
Speaker 2: Yeah?

860
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that's true like that and that type of element,

861
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:28,880
you know, covering a song is almost like more more

862
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,920
or less paying homage to an inspiration.

863
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that band we played with it that Red

864
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,599
Alert shout out to Trick Attack they got at the

865
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,239
coolest design I've ever heard of. So everybody loves the

866
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,320
Tony Hawk pro skater soundtracks, right, what if there was

867
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,039
a band that that was their whole thing and that's

868
00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:49,400
Trick Attack, no kidding, Yeah, be on the lookout for

869
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,480
Trick Attack coming to a place near you. They were

870
00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:54,000
so awesome, They were sick and they've got such a

871
00:48:54,039 --> 00:48:57,000
good idea of just like taking this soundtrack that's resonated

872
00:48:57,079 --> 00:48:59,639
with so many people our age and exposed so many

873
00:48:59,679 --> 00:49:03,480
people to so many cool forms of music and uh yeah,

874
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:06,039
just kind of bringing the spirit of that and and to.

875
00:49:06,199 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 5: Like skateboard too contract being played live that that was like, man,

876
00:49:13,199 --> 00:49:19,679
my fourth grade self was over the moon, respectfully, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

877
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,360
respectfully of course the nostalgic it was great.

878
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 4: Where are they from? Are they from around here?

879
00:49:24,599 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 3: Trick They're from Mass Yeah, Mass, I think.

880
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,639
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, oh, maybe we can get them on the show.

881
00:49:29,639 --> 00:49:32,800
That's that's very interesting. Yeah, but yeah, I always I

882
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,400
always fought against doing too many covers in the bands

883
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,079
I was in or Or. My thing was, if we're

884
00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:39,920
going to do a cover, let's end with it that way.

885
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,599
Yeah the way, there's not that way there's no misunderstandings

886
00:49:43,639 --> 00:49:45,719
about you know, are we an original band? Are we

887
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,440
a cover band? I was just you know, we'll do well, well,

888
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,360
let's do it at the end. But the other thing

889
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,599
that drove me nuts to back in and this, you know,

890
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,159
I'm older, So this goes back like twenty years. But

891
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,960
there was a period where and and anybody, any of

892
00:50:01,079 --> 00:50:04,079
my peers from that time will know what I'm talking about,

893
00:50:04,119 --> 00:50:05,599
because I know I know some of the people I

894
00:50:06,119 --> 00:50:09,079
knew then listen to the show. There was this period

895
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:13,719
where if you were a New Hampshire band and you

896
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,400
were an original band that liked to sprinkle in a

897
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:20,320
couple of covers, all of these bands were covering Sober

898
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:28,400
by Tool. It was so obnoxious. And it wasn't even

899
00:50:28,599 --> 00:50:31,840
like all these bands were covering Tool. All these bands

900
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:37,800
were specifically covering Sober by Tool. And it even and

901
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,440
I was in a band called My Life Crisis, and

902
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,320
I remember one of the guys was like, because everybody

903
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,280
in the band was a Tool fan, including me, I

904
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,679
like Tool. I didn't I never loved Tool, but I

905
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,440
liked but I think I burned out on them because

906
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,079
they just they were so ubiquitous. It was like, oh

907
00:50:53,119 --> 00:50:56,360
my god, no more Tool. And I remember the conversation

908
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:57,719
with these guys where one of them was like, we

909
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,239
should do a Tool cover, and I remember just sitting

910
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,800
there silently thinking, oh, no, I know what's coming next.

911
00:51:04,039 --> 00:51:07,719
We should do Sober. It was so weird and I'm

912
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,760
not even I'm not even exaggerating or being hyperbolic. All

913
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,400
of these bands were covering that specific song.

914
00:51:14,519 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 3: I must really resonate with the New Hampshire musician craft.

915
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:23,760
Speaker 4: I guess it was so strange, like at like twenty

916
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,480
years ago, if you walked into any bar where there

917
00:51:26,599 --> 00:51:29,440
was a rock band playing, whether it was an original

918
00:51:29,519 --> 00:51:33,239
band that did one cover or a cover band, you

919
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:38,599
were going to hear Sober by Tool. It was bizarre

920
00:51:39,119 --> 00:51:42,000
and it was very frustrating. And here I am, two

921
00:51:42,079 --> 00:51:44,519
decades later, finally venting about it publicly.

922
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 3: Set your chest.

923
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,079
Speaker 4: It does. I've been carrying that around with me all

924
00:51:50,159 --> 00:51:55,679
this time. We'll be like, oh, it's a great bassline.

925
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,039
Don't get me wrong, I'm a bass player. I appreciate it.

926
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, game we be soberhup? Yeah me too, man.

927
00:52:08,159 --> 00:52:11,599
Speaker 5: I had any idea. I was thinking, you know, wouldn't

928
00:52:11,599 --> 00:52:15,639
it be funny to open with a cover and then

929
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,760
before every original song you played, just be like, oh,

930
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,360
this next one is war Pigs by Sabbath.

931
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,039
Speaker 3: I do stuff like that with There's another band that

932
00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:32,039
I play sometimes with. We're kind of like in the

933
00:52:32,079 --> 00:52:34,559
middle of like a semi break now, but we're called Targets.

934
00:52:34,639 --> 00:52:37,280
Targets shout out to Sean James Sweeney.

935
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:38,639
Speaker 2: Uh we uh.

936
00:52:39,519 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 3: I kind of like MC for them because everybody else

937
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,559
just like he is either too busy setting up there

938
00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:47,840
like synthesizer for the next song or whatever. So I

939
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,480
just kind of end up like talking, and I'll introduce

940
00:52:50,599 --> 00:52:53,639
songs with like names that are familiar or like not

941
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,800
say that where us. I'll say that like hey, where

942
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,320
are the Backstreet Boys? Or where the fine Young Cannibals

943
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,760
or something like that. Yeah, like anything so that it

944
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,360
seems like I'm am seeing but I'm actually giving the

945
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,000
audience no information at all. Right, that's kind of my stick.

946
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 4: Oh that's cool, that's cool. I like that. Let's uh.

947
00:53:12,119 --> 00:53:13,440
I want to make sure we get at least one

948
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:14,519
more in what should we play?

949
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: I think we only got one more? You want to

950
00:53:16,039 --> 00:53:16,880
hit him with dead Sky?

951
00:53:17,639 --> 00:53:19,639
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah, yeah?

952
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:21,119
Speaker 4: Is there only one more?

953
00:53:21,159 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 3: I think there is. This is the one that you

954
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,039
can hear John doing Barnyard.

955
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, oh there is only one left. Okay, yeah,

956
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,880
So we'll play this and then we'll come back and

957
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,880
wrap up. But if you are just joining us, oh

958
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,400
hello to Andre Dumont in the chat room of course,

959
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,400
from the Great Band and from Dead Harrison and Terminus

960
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,519
Underground and New Hampshire Underground. And Andre is someone who

961
00:53:42,599 --> 00:53:44,719
probably can relate to what I was saying a moment ago,

962
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,159
one of my peers from that era. I'm sure Andre.

963
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,559
Andre may have even been in a band that played

964
00:53:50,639 --> 00:53:51,360
sober by.

965
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 3: Tool Listen, man, why can't we just be sober?

966
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:54,119
Speaker 5: Oh?

967
00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:58,079
Speaker 3: Boy, you'd think I could relate Rodney King say that.

968
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:00,599
Speaker 4: I'm not much of a drinker in my self. I'm

969
00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:03,239
pretty sober. You think i'd appreciate the song more, but

970
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:07,440
I just grew to hate it, all right. So this

971
00:54:07,599 --> 00:54:12,159
is called a Dead Sky and the band is Hell yeah. No,

972
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,320
