19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,519

20
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:08,319
do and then we'll talk a little bit about that

21
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:11,439
because people, I'm sure people hear the name Legion of Solace. Uh,

22
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:13,920
they they think you're They probably assume you're a band,

23
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:18,319
which is not actually what Legion of Solace is, although

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,760
would be a cool name for if you guys ever

25
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:20,920
think thought about starting a band.

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 5: If if we were closer to each other geographically.

27
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: Possibly, Yeah, there is some distance there, right, because so, Bruce,

28
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:30,040
you're from Massachusetts, right I am?

29
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, I've been here for almost fifteen years.

30
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 3: Fifteen years, okay, and Malcolm, you're from far away.

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 4: I'm from Lynchburg, Virginia.

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so you drove up for I was on

33
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:43,040
a bus, a bus, yeah, along a trip?

34
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 4: Was that sixteen hours?

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,079
Speaker 3: Sixteen hours? Oh my god?

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,879
Speaker 5: Would have been shorter if they'd have been on time.

37
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it would have been like mine at night

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,719
compared to one o'clock in the morning.

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Well, well, I'm glad you made it.

40
00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:57,079
Speaker 4: That wasn't that bad.

41
00:01:57,079 --> 00:01:59,799
Speaker 6: I mean, if anything, the delays helped it because it

42
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,200
may my layovers when our one of them was going

43
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:03,959
to be like an hour and a half layover. Oh

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,760
really yeah, so literally by them being delayed themselves, it

45
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:11,680
cut out all my delays, my layovers, so like, yeah,

46
00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:12,280
it was great.

47
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So what what do you guys do. What

48
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,280
is Legion of Solace exactly?

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,599
Speaker 5: We are a hub for independent bands that need marketing, advertising,

50
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:28,159
promoting other bands for their event, sponsorship, for their event hosting,

51
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:32,439
for their event on occasion. Well, we'll actually cater special events.

58
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:57,719
don't worry. I got myself looking at the I'm a

59
00:02:57,759 --> 00:02:58,520
singer in a band.

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 6: So yeah, if you said like you said, I was

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,520
starting to the band, I am in the band actually

63
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,319
and I still uh, like last year, I told you,

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,840
I still work with the guys Hateful Bosa. I used

65
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:10,599
to be with Everything Hiatus right now and I just

66
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,759
got to get that worked out.

67
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: But I could still go play with those guys.

68
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 6: But I actually started something to a side project of

69
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:18,479
my own with some other guys called Numb my site,

70
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,879
and uh, they want to do like old school new

71
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,840
metal uh, you know runge era like stuff, which is

72
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:26,159
when I grew up on most of this.

73
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,319
Speaker 4: And that's great. So now it's like, all right, welcome,

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,520
I just got to get back to your clean vocals. Yeah.

75
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 6: I'm normally a growler and screen where I'm like, I'm

76
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,479
deep into it. I'm more so like mine elevated from

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,599
when I started out going to choir and all that

78
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:42,319
stuff and then start out like the regular bands I did, Yeah,

79
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:46,120
just doing you know, growls and screams, you know, yeah, yeah,

80
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:49,120
so like Lamb of God type stuff, slipknot type stuff

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360
like you know, yeah, and sometimes harder. So like it's

82
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:57,120
that's my realm. That's where I found my peace, right right? Yeah?

83
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,039
Speaker 4: Yeah?

84
00:03:57,159 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: And how did you guys meet and get connected? And because?

85
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,199
And how long has Legion of Solis existed? Like did

86
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,120
you guys start it.

87
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,039
Speaker 6: Or well it started out with me Tuesday and a

88
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,479
few others beforehand in another group that was trying to

89
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:12,080
do the same thing. Oh okay, but it didn't work

90
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,759
out that way. Well, so we ended up starting our

91
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:18,720
own things so that way we can cancel out all

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,639
the flaws that we see and what is working with

93
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,759
the music industry. You see what I'm saying, Like you

94
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,319
see all these other people out here on the internet.

95
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:31,399
That's also like advocating for you know, clean ways of

96
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,240
doing music. That's what I've always wanted from the get go.

97
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:38,120
It's especially knowing that I do the radio, my radio

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,360

little filth, whoever. But just enjoy music in general, how

101
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:48,600

00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:08,120
I like that fresh smack in a face of something new,

111
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,639
and I'm tired of hearing it in the world.

112
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: And everybody's like, well, I'm getting bored with music. Man.

113
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,199
Speaker 6: I just don't know what to do. I literally do

114
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,240
a thing on my show where it's called you know,

115
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,639
Mystery Times with Malachi Well, I take thirty may I

116
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,639
literally give you thirty seconds to a minute and a

117
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:24,920
half of dead air to go scrolling through and find

118
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,920
something I've never found before, whether it's YouTube, Spotify or whatever.

119
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,199
And like, dude, how can you get bored with music?

120
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 4: Right? Right?

121
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,759
Speaker 6: And if you actually go into the underground world, which,

122
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,680
like I said, I have you a list right here, Yeah,

123
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:40,000
and you find a good you know pool where people

124
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,800
are bringing in people from out of town, where there's

125
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,600
a lunch of local locals playing everything. Yep, it's an

126
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:48,800
amazing thing. You find your new class of music that

127
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:51,079
you might like. Yeah, a new genre that you never

128
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,439
knew that you come across.

129
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

130
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so much music being made, more than ever before.

131
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,319
And it's more you know, because of the Internet. It's

132
00:05:57,319 --> 00:05:58,959
more easily accessible than ever before.

133
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 7: You know.

134
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,759
Speaker 3: I'm a gen x er, so my generation is really

135
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:06,360
the last generation to grow up without the Internet. So

136
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,160
I remember, and don't get me wrong, I have wonderful

137
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,439
memories of going to the record store and flipping through

138
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,759
and finding things you know.

139
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,519
Speaker 6: Eight yeah, yeah, I was at the ending of it

140
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,759
at the beginning of Yah, yeah, like, yeah, I get it.

141
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,759
Speaker 3: So that was great and everything, but I wouldn't but

142
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:22,439
I wouldn't trade where we have now to go back

143
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,639
to that, you know, because sometimes you'll hear people say, well,

144
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800
back in my day, we you know, we actually went

145
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,160
to the record store and it was great. And you know,

146
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,439
today the internet's ruined everything, and it's like, no, the

147
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Internet has made it so that you can have access

148
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,639
to literally anything, and it's it's wonderful.

149
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,879
Speaker 5: Right, there was there was something to be said about

150
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,240
the friendships that were built in the record store. Sure,

151
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,680
waiting for the midnight release.

152
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,759
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely.

153
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,319
Speaker 6: But yeah, but that's the thing, waiting for the midlight release.

154
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,000
But how long do those friends last? Because me myself,

155
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,959
I feel more along the last Go spend some time,

156
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,199
like if you are any person who loves heavy metal music,

157
00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:01,279
whether it's an underground festival or even a stream festival,

158
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,240
go spend seven days in the campground right along with

159
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:09,279
other people. Yes, yeah, I did it for eight years straight. Really,

160
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:12,040
I mean all the Blue Ridge Rock Festival. My band

161
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,639
The Hateful Bones, we played in the first two. Then

162
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,480
we you know, I went to every last one I

163
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,399
was because I was my only outlets where I can

164
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,279
have a go see some good bands and make it affordable.

165
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,879
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and then like you.

166
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 6: See what I'm saying, So like, not only do we

167
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,319
have our scene which was slowly thriving back up because

168
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,680
I grew up in my hometown, I've seen it go up,

169
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,199
I've seen it go down. I mean even see the

170
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,319
band Hateful Bones before I joined them keep that realm

171
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:39,199
up for the longest time and then it drops off.

172
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,600
But now it's opening back up more now. So with

173
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,120
this place called to Grab our k Bar, which they

174
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,319
don't even know that I'm advocating for them. Yeah, Like

175
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:48,920
I go to see these shows and I love what

176
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,240
they're doing there. Yeah, there is no pay to play

177
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:53,399
if you wanted, if you can, you know, want to

178
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:55,240
opt off for the chance to go play with some

179
00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:57,959
of these bands, like Hunt the Dinosaur came down there.

180
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:00,560
You know, they played a bunch of little band's play

181
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,680
for them. You know a Jersey Skuy has a bands

182
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,360
play for them, you know, and getting these opportunities to

183
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,480
do this without having to worry about you having to

184
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,240
pay to play, and you're getting paid.

185
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: To do so, so why not.

186
00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:14,879
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like, that's what that's what

187
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:17,600
I advocate for because that's what we push forward, leadsing

188
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:20,480
to solid that's who we are. There is so much

189
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:22,560
way to where you. I mean, if you're out here

190
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,759
to get money, okay, but do it honestly, dude, do

191
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,360
it honestly. Don't break the artist back who's putting in

192
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,720
ninety five percent of the work. You're only doing five percent.

193
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:35,360
Whether you're promoting on the internet like us, or you're

194
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:37,480
actually a manager, you're only doing five percent because you're

195
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,600
sitting on your tushi. They are the other ones over

196
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,679
there playing the instrument. Because I know both sides, because

197
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,399
I play in a band. I want my music to

198
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:44,840
get heard.

199
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:45,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

200
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,399
Speaker 6: That's the reason why I have another radio show, because

201
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,720
I want to give you the platform, whether you can

202
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,440
come to either something like Matt Connerson, who is very

203
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,039
I'm not gonna lie throughout this whole entire radio industry world.

204
00:08:57,039 --> 00:09:00,799
There's not many people like you anymore, many people like

205
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:04,919
me anymore. Just hear good music together with whatever, right,

206
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:08,639
So I mean not people the people are advocating like

207
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,320
you do for it.

208
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 4: I see it.

209
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 6: I actually going into other people's stuff in other cities,

210
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:15,720
and I mean there might be few far between, but

211
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,519
they're doing it more so underground radio like me where

212
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:21,080
they're doing the podcast they do and it just got

213
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,879
a lot of followers.

214
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,159
Speaker 4: Yeah.

215
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 5: Try sending an audio file a clear channel and getting right.

216
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. It's a blessing to have you.

217
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,320

we can help you with, you know, with your band

222

00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,200
advocate for each other and get to the promised land

224
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,240
exactly without being a liar cheating still or I'm like,

225
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:53,440
get you the side list, but this really you just

226
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:53,840
give me.

227
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 4: Your life, right taking it all.

228
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,919
Speaker 6: We want to help in any way, shape or form

00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:02,200
keep this society alive.

230
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 5: Even if it's gas money for the next gig.

231
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 6: Like you know what I'm saying, Like this is like

232
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,120
when we're doing this, this is coming out of our

233
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:09,639
own time.

234
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 4: I go home. I literally had to work all the

235
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,159
way until Monday night.

236
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, a double shift that I won't even supposed to work,

237
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,639
and then I got on a bus at five o'clock

238
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:20,960
in the morning to come do That's how passionate we

239
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:21,399
are about it.

240
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 4: That's what we'd love.

241
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:25,919
Speaker 6: I want to see the music scenes striving and go

242
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,440
and be honest, especially knowing that my daughter is one

243
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:30,960
to eventually be in that industry.

244
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:31,159
Speaker 1: Ye.

245
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, So why not have myself or our company make

246
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,399
this a big enough hubs where you have an honest

247
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:41,240
place that you can go to. It's like, you know,

248
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,879
you can go, you know, I can get signed and

249
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:44,879
the next thing, you know, oh you old, you know

250
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,759
the record company millions dollars, you got to you got

251
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,799
you gotta go out and just you gotta sole your soul.

252
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,919
You know, you gotta run the streets for six months

253
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:55,679
and nine months out of the year and you know,

254
00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:58,440
oh man, I only come home with this much money.

255
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know absolutely that.

256
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 5: That's why merch fees keep going up and up and

257
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,639
ticket fees keep going up and up, because the only

258
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,360
time the bands eat is when they're on the road.

259
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely one. We should play this.

260
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

261
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,919
Speaker 3: This is a little bit of a side street, but

262
00:11:14,039 --> 00:11:17,480
we should uh interesting uh And I don't know if

263
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,919
I'm saying, I don't know if any of us know

264
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,320
exactly how to pronounce how to pronounce this to dessess us,

265
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:25,679
it's d E C E S s U S. It's

266
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,360
the name of the band. This track is called Dark Flames.

267
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,679
But really interesting story. So Jenny had brought this to

268
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,039
my attention initially, and then you wanted us to play it.

269
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,639
She the lead singer of this band. And I don't

270
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:41,200
even I'm not even sure how to say her name correctly.

271
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:45,480
But she's Miss Chili. She won the Miss Chili contest.

272
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,799
Speaker 5: In Miss un in the Miss Universe pageant, in the Miss.

273
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,639
Speaker 3: Universe pageant, and uh, she brought out her part of

274
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000
her her presentation, I don't know what the term.

275
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:57,519
Speaker 6: Is guitars, Yeah yeah, and started playing one of her

276
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,679
own songs.

277
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: And they right, and that that's something that had never

278
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,720
been done obviously at one of these pageants. Was pretty

279
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:06,240
pretty unique and it paid off.

280
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 6: She won, right, I see, I say. I said the

281
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,440
same thing to them last night. I said, if anybody

282
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,480
helped to prove not only the best marketing in the

283
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:16,720
freaking world, ye, Like, how.

284
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:17,519
Speaker 4: Smart is that? Hey?

285
00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 6: I'm hot, I'm gonna go do this pageant, right, I'm

286
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,519
gonna win it. I'm gonna shock them with doing this

287
00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:25,240
amazing talent with my voice.

288
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 4: Yep.

289
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,879
Speaker 6: But also in the end, you're showing how beautiful and

290
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,360
how amazing of an art heavy metal is.

291
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: Yes, it's not.

292
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 6: Just you're you're you're you're headed with you know, one stone,

293
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,519
two berries with one stone. You're knocking it out and

294
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,799
being hot and knocking on this, you know, being a model.

295
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,240
And then also you're showing that heavy metal is not

296
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:47,399
something to be scared of. Heavy metal is something to embrace.

297
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:51,480
R Like art sculptures are you know, the sixteenth taple

298
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,799
Like it's an art beautiful, it's and.

299
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: It's and it's not a gimmick like you know, she's

300
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,919
legitimately very talented. Yeah. Yeah, as as we're about here,

347
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,720
you should tell us more about your show.

348
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like I said, it's cornsy, was Malachai. It's

349
00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:34,000
the same thing.

350
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 6: It's like what Dark Message is doing when you can

351
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:38,240
get a chance to do her show, because right now

352
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,599
she's basically with school, so she's like heavy busy with that.

353
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:45,440
But because we're trying to get everything, like right now,

354
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:48,519
this is just the foundation, yeah, so what we are

355
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,119
really trying to accomplish. So she's doing her part and

356
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,960
I'm doing my part with quaranty, with Malachai and when

357
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:59,039
I came, especially with the weird sleep schedule of my job.

358
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:01,200
And I will even call you shout out to texas

359
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,839
In because I got some people watching them. Shout out

360
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:05,680
to my hometown, Listsburg, Virginia. If you're ever in Lisburg, Virginia,

361
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,640
you want a cheesy WSTNT, come get come to texas In,

362
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:12,000
come see me anyway. Definitely, what I do with my

363
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,160
radio show is requests, So it's an opportunity for you

364
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,240
to be something like this, whether either you can call

365
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,799
up soon I will have it where I have a

366
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:22,720
WhatsApp going through its where you can call in and chat,

367
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,920
especially if you're just a heavy music or of whether

368
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,759
it's the underground or mainstream, and just talk about your experiences.

369
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
So it's kind of like a podcast lass radio show,

370
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,680
but for the most part, it's there for the unassigned

371
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,079
and up and cooming talent. But if you're a PLAC

372
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,039
person from somewhere like you know, California, Washington, somewhere where

373
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,359
I can't get to immediately to come and watch the

374
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,480
show that night. Yeah, and you're just an averg go

375
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,359
over the underground world and you want to you know,

376
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:48,119
shout it out and like hey, I want you to

377
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,440
go to YouTube, especially as long as it's good audio

378
00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:53,440
or even a video. As long as everything is good,

379
00:21:53,799 --> 00:21:55,799
send it to me. I will play it. There is

380
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,720
no charge, there is no nothing. All I asked for

381
00:21:57,759 --> 00:22:00,440
you to do is just share, share our platform so

382
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:02,960
that way not only the people rest people in Washington

383
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,559
who are playing underground and spending their money, blood, sweat

384
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:09,880
and tears sitting in a recording studio cramped up, getting

385
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,960
carpal tunnel playing these songs yep, you know, on repeat,

386
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,160
just to get it recorded. Because like I said, I

387
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:18,519
know both sides. Yeah, And I want you to be

388
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:20,039
able to have a platform to where you can go

389
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,559

390
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,240

428
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,279
and you see if I'm over there, shared there. We

429
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,400
want this to be so international, you know, world bound

430
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,359
to where anybody like I've even had people coming to

431
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,640
my show when I used to do it on Twitch

432
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,440
and play to nobody for four years straight, and I

433
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,279
would have people come in on Twitch every now and again,

434
00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:12,640
and it'd be somebody from India who cannot play metal

435
00:24:12,759 --> 00:24:15,640
music over there, like they can't just have it playing mainstream,

436
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,880
so they would literally would sit me there stuff before

437
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,640
and I've played it over here on my stream multiple times.

438
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,799
You know what I'm saying, like, so that's what Cornthry

439
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:24,400
and Malachi is. And like I said, I want to

440
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,680
be able to teach people that you can you can't

441
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,920
get bored with music. That's what like if you actually

442
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,079
are a music lover, go tumbling down the rab hole,

443
00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:35,559
you know what I mean. Nights, I've been set just

444
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,119
get finding music to play on my list that's not

445
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,319
even that I don't know has already made it not

446
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:43,319
or not yet or whatever that I can't even find

447
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,240
the full credibility on it online yet about it, whether

448
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:48,920
they're signed or unsigned, or I've been coming, I'm going

449
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,680
to find and play, especially if I don't hear them

450
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,160
on extend radio, if I don't hear them on regular

451
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:56,319
FM radio, or they're gonna get played to my stuff,

452
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,039
because that's everybody deserves to.

453
00:24:59,079 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 4: Be heard by every Yeah, but it's available.

454
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:04,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, just FM radio, not just AM radio, not just

455
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:07,119
satellite radio or whatever you listen to.

456
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, especially in the digital age, because in the sixties, seventies,

457
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:13,400
early eighties, it used to be you could put a

458
00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:15,440
stack of records in the trunk of your car, drive

459
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,799
across the country, stop at radio stations, and now all

460
00:25:17,839 --> 00:25:19,319
of a sudden you have national exposure.

461
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 4: Yep.

462
00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:24,519
Speaker 5: Because of the conglomeration of national mainstream radio. You can't

463
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:27,279
really do that anymore because because if you don't have

464
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,839
if if you're not even registered with Distro kid, they're

465
00:25:29,839 --> 00:25:30,720
not even going to look at you.

466
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 4: Right with seriousness? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

467
00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:38,799
Speaker 5: So being able to have Internet platforms like Quarantine with Malachi,

468
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,119
like Dark Mistress, like Lee Janaura, when we get back

469
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,400
to doing that, it gives anybody around the world the

470
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,319
opportunity to get back into that car foot records back

471
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,039
into their trunk and barnstorm the digital world right wide,

472
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,160
barnstorm tens ten states. When you can barnstorm one hundred countries.

473
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, absolutely at one time, instantaneously.

474
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, oh, I can't be in you know,

475
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:03,880
multiple places at one time. Yes, you can.

476
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,279
Speaker 6: That's what the digital world is giving you. Especially like

477
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,920
if you go look at just go look into the

478
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,960
history of the TikTok world of just underground heavy metal,

479
00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:15,480
it's a community there that is so.

480
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,079
Speaker 4: Like vastly humongous, especially just the short time that.

481
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 5: That TikTok has been out, and there are TikTok bands

482
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,920
that are playing national, national festivals they're like in that.

483
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:32,759
I believe they're called Electric Callboy now yeah, oh yeah,

484
00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:35,079
I know that is yeh. Didn't they originate on TikTok?

485
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,960
I think so, yeah, and they're one of the hottest

486
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,119
things in the market, right Oh yeah.

487
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 6: I mean that's saying if you can get famous off

488
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:46,160
of TikTok man, I mean, TikTok something that somebody coded

489
00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:49,319
it was never expecting to let I mean literally themselves

490
00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:52,599
hit the stardom that they did. Howbody knows what they're

491
00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:54,279
going to be like with anything that they make, if

492
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:58,039
it's going to be like completely right, right, but you know,

493
00:26:58,319 --> 00:27:00,079
then you go then you know this and then like

494
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,440
people are getting famous off and just doing TikTok, which actually,

495
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:06,559
I mean I wasn't against tiktokingturst, but that was like

496
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:09,319
Tiktoking's like all right, well, now what happens. We're helping

497
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,359
you to be more independent and be able to I mean,

498
00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:16,039
you're your supporters. If they really support you, they will

499
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:18,400
support you one hundred and ten percent all the way

500
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,079
through it, even whether it's buying your merch, you know,

501
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,759
supporting your streams and you're a star or two every

502
00:27:23,839 --> 00:27:26,799
now and again, whatever you know, and that's great, that's

503
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,279
what I love. And like I'm about to sing start

504
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:31,839
doing my show over there, so that's even you know

505
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,400
what I'm saying, Like I haven't fun fernagual whether I

506
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:37,440
want to fully yet because like what if I mess up?

507
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 4: And like there's a band that already you know, because

508
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:41,680
I looked.

509
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,759
Speaker 6: All I did was do the research that I could find,

510
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,680
and then it's like, oh, they're already signed, and then

511
00:27:46,759 --> 00:27:48,680
like but whatever, from what I heard a lot of

512
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,839
people say, they don't really care what you play on it.

513
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,160
That's the platform I'm looking for. I'm looking for the

514
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,119
platform where you allow me to be me. If I

515
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,839
want you to sit here and run this venture of

516
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,440
being pretty much the old school whatever it was, this

517
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,880
jockey like just sleep disc. You know what I'm saying,

518
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,680
I want the full experience of doing that. I want

519
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,640
to find a platform that is.

520
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 4: Gonna allow me to do that. You see what I'm saying.

521
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,799
Speaker 6: Like other than like I understand if you need to

522
00:28:10,839 --> 00:28:13,160
write credentials for doing FM radio, but if I'm doing

523
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,319
my own radio show, should I'm not here to play

524
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,079
your music to make money. I'm here to entertain you, right, exactly.

525
00:28:20,519 --> 00:28:24,000
If my entertainment deserves a dollar or two, so be it.

526
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,480
That's hey, I'll take it. You know what I'm saying, Like,

527
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,279
who's gonna take? Who's gonna do? Not free money?

528
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 4: But I'm not here for the mine.

529
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 6: I'm here to entertain you and teach you something and

530
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:35,559
show you that you can support music without ever having

531
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,200
to drop of diame unless you want.

532
00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: To, right, exactly exactly.

533
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 6: That's all it takes. A like takes you a long way.

534
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,279
A share takes you a long way. Yes, yes, I

535
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:47,440
mean that's all it takes. Literally, and you never know

536
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,599
if that share could take you to swing in somebody

537
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:53,119
else's friend bank that ends up knowing somebody in the

538
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,240
seven Dust camp or or you know, the Lamba God

539
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:59,400
camp or you know any of the hardcore camps. You

540
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,400
know what I'm saying, Like, you can go level up

541
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,720
with a Slayer. Let's do it, you know, why not

542
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,799
even though they're not really doing much anymore. Like there's

543
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:12,359
an example so period, Like that's the whole point. We're

544
00:29:12,359 --> 00:29:15,119
all out here to do the you know, be rock

545
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,079
stars in our own way and superheroes to somebody, So

546
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,720
why not do it the right way? Because if you

547
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:22,000
the more you do it the right way is the

548
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:24,799
more honestly, then everything will stay true. The more it

549
00:29:24,839 --> 00:29:29,559
becomes a cesspool, the more it becomes evil. It's like, oh, yeah,

550
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,400
I think I might need to stab you so I

551
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,039
can use you as something solid to stand on and

552
00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:35,400
get me.

553
00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:37,759
Speaker 4: I don't need that. I don't want that. That's not

554
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:38,200
what I want.

555
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 6: I want to be able to help people out and

556
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:45,759
give them the truest form of helping you to, you know,

557
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,200
and make your cure bigger without having to worried about

558
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,519
like did that man ever screw me over? Did he

559
00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:53,920
ever take something else? You know, take something off the

560
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:54,400
back end?

561
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:54,839
Speaker 1: You know?

562
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 6: No, I was always straightforward to you. I never beat

563
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,160
it around the bus. You know what I'm saying. It's

564
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,240
straight forward. Everything is, you know, record it out, tabbed out, whatever,

565
00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:06,799
It does not matter. We are going to always be

have to tell you now that we can't make it happen,

570
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,000
either whether it's by our own accord or just it's

571
00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:20,920
just not the right time.

572
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,839

like in my hometown, there's not very many feenals left.

00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:22,440
I don't really care to have you know, music in it.

597
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: They'd rather just have you know, the jukebox in there

598
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,400
and just yeah, that's it. No, dude, we got it.

599
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 6: No, Like, that's really so many places like around my home,

600
00:31:31,079 --> 00:31:35,119
like around my Virginia that I've closed that that's legendary

601
00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:37,200
to a lot of people who's been through the season,

602
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:39,880
Like you know what I'm saying, like, yeah, so it's

603
00:31:40,119 --> 00:31:42,559
I hate it, you know what I'm saying, Like that's

604
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,640

00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,079
raised and there's nothing left. No, I want my daughter

607
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,759
to have that history. I want my daughter be able

608
00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:54,119
to go play certain like imagine if Whiskey and Go

609
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,039
Go is just like right right, everybody everybody like, oh

610
00:31:59,079 --> 00:32:00,480
my god, I'll think of our be to make it

611
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,519
because I won't be able to play the play that stage.

612
00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:05,599
Speaker 4: We don't want that.

613
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 6: We want to save driving to it because these little

614
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,599
weeks if I don't care what anybody say, especially coming

615
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,279
into this. These rinkyd venues or what they would call

616
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:18,839
the hole in the wall is what kept the music

617
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:24,480
industry underground. That's what music, Yes, so why not keep

618
00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:27,799
them going to where the future ones have a place

619
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,960
to go? Play about it?

620
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:34,279
Speaker 5: Regardless of the genre of music, every member of every

621
00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:37,240
Hall of Fame ever inducted started in a bar, or

622
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:40,359
a garage or a high school gym.

623
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 6: Absolutely, so I take I take Dave Girl's world, where

624
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,200
seriously go out there and make crappy music in the

625
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,200
garage and then come out with something like food fighting. Right,

626
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,839
you know what I'm saying, Go make that crappy music

627
00:32:55,839 --> 00:32:58,880
because that crappy music might save somebody's life one day. Yeah,

628
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,279
and start off everybody start off as a crappy musician,

629
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,359
right until you get good at it?

630
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:06,079
Speaker 3: Right exactly?

631
00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 6: You think me singing was like, oh instant things, I'm

632
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,279
going here and I'm you know, Mariah Harry hitting them

633
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:11,799
high notes.

634
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:13,279
Speaker 8: No.

635
00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 5: Once, for example, that there used to be a kind

636
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,960
of a pop band in England, our band called Earth. Yeah,

637
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:23,920
look what they became once they just stayed with it.

638
00:33:24,119 --> 00:33:27,759
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Well I always believe too, there's an audience

639
00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:31,000
for everything, you know, although I used to think of

640
00:33:31,079 --> 00:33:32,640
it a little bit differently. I used to say, there's

641
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,559
an audience for everything, you just have to find the audience.

642
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,240
But now I think of it a little differently. It's like,

643
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,640
there's an audience for everything, but you have to make

644
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,839
sure that you're in a place where the audience can

645
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,599
find you. Yes, because there that audience exists. But you know, discoverability,

646
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,440
it's such an important word. You know, you have to

647
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,680
be in places where you can be discovered by an audience.

648
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 6: Right, Well, that's what that's then. Other thing about leaves

649
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:58,119
of Solace. In any way, shape or form, you have

650
00:33:58,319 --> 00:34:03,160
our platform. We literally made our Facebook, our Instagram available

651
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,039

652
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,840
and it says like you just wanted to, Hey, i'm

653
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,880
an let's do an impropt too while we're at practice

00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:15,800

656
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,119

671
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

672
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 4: So that way you can get your exposure out there,

673
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,480
whether it's across the seas or not.

674
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 5: We've had album releases that I can remember announced from

675
00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:03,800
nine different countries outside of the US through the legion

676
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,320
of solid social media platform.

677
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,119
Speaker 3: Oh no kidding, Wow, excellent.

678
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 6: And it's kind of like I said, we are actually

679
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,320
going through this step by step to show you that

680
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,239
not only is it the struggle hard for you, is

681
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,159
the struggle is hard for us for being just promoters.

682
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,679
You just want to be out here promoting, you know

683
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,320
what I'm saying, just to get the numbers to come

684
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,400
into the radio show, Just to get the numbers to

685
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,880
come in and just spread the word whether it's bands,

686
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,920
whether it's fans, whether it's whoever, just people. I'd literally

687
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,480
sit there and hand out cards day in and day out.

688
00:35:33,559 --> 00:35:35,920
I mean literally to the point where I'm already hijacking

689
00:35:36,039 --> 00:35:39,079
his card box for cards. You know what I'm saying,

690
00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:41,679
Like I didn't put cards to so many people's hands,

691
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,119
and all I ever acted them in return is like, man, hey,

692
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:47,679
send me your stuff, we'll play it. And all I

693
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,639
ask is you to take these five cards and hand

694
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:53,880
them to five other bands or five other fans you

695
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,719
don't know nothing about us, So that way we can

696
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,280
build that platform up and have a strong platform where

697
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,519
when I go live, that thing's saying one point two

698
00:36:03,639 --> 00:36:07,119
k immediately, and then next thing you know, your exclusion

699
00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:09,239
is being dropped. You're a brand new band from you

700
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,719
know wherever, a nobody and you got one point two

701
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,239
K hitting that thing watching. How amazing would that be.

702
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: It's a good start.

703
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 6: Like I said, I don't care about the dollar, I

704
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,039
don't care about the dime, I don't care about the views.

705
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,199
But if I can make it happy for somebody else,

706
00:36:24,679 --> 00:36:26,719
that'd be great. That'll be a successful me because knowing

707
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,119
being in the band's side, that's a lot.

708
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:34,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, even if only ten percent of that shares, right,

709
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,280
that's a lot of news feeds. Friends.

710
00:36:36,679 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely yeah.

711
00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 6: All I want y'all do is and all I want

712
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,320
to do is just spread the word of how you

713
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,599
can keep this metal world thriving. Yeah, and if not,

714
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,840
make it even more thicker than what it was because

715
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,800
it's thinned out. I'm not saying that heavy metals gone.

716
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,559
I'm not saying that the rock culture is gone. It's

717
00:36:54,559 --> 00:36:59,119
still there and it's still thriving pretty good, but it

718
00:36:59,280 --> 00:36:59,880
has thinned.

719
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:02,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

720
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,679
Speaker 5: Metal's not dead. It just got monetized, right, and I

721
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,679
wanted to go back to the unmodetized suff that.

722
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 6: You know. I grew up in the New Metal Age

723
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:13,000
and the attitude era of wrestling. Give me good morn.

724
00:37:13,039 --> 00:37:14,440
Now you think I don't want to hear, I want

725
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,039
to hear. I want to hear that break stuff, or

726
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:19,599
I want to hear you know, some slipknot going on.

727
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:22,679
I want to hear like something hardcore heavy. That's why

728
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,519
I do. Like the FM radio station in my hometown

729
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,280
and uh, it's ninety eight five at my hometown, and

730
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,119
these these guys are there playing everything from Breaking Benjamin

731
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,360
to Lamb of God. I mean they're playing the vast

732
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,079
majority of the good hardcore, heavy metal, mainstream stuff.

733
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 3: Wow.

734
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,599
Speaker 6: But also that it's still missing that fun factor because,

735
00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:46,159
like I said, in the hometown I grew up where

736
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,840
every Tuesday and every Sunday was local day. You know

737
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,400
what I'm saying. Yeah, we just finished playing God's Smack

738
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,000
and Creed and you know it was arms waterpert.

739
00:37:57,159 --> 00:37:57,679
Speaker 4: You know, you got.

740
00:37:58,199 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 6: I mean there's many times when as a kid, I

741
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,760
hear my own band that I joined part of Hey

742
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,880
for Bones through you know, ninety six three local radio,

743
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,079
and I grew up with that, you know, and then

744
00:38:08,199 --> 00:38:10,119
just being able to just say, hey, well we're scheduled

745
00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:10,599
to interview.

746
00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:12,079
Speaker 4: You can come in and sit down and we'll talk

747
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:12,800
and and it.

748
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,559
Speaker 6: Doesn't cost you a dime because it doesn't cost you

749
00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:17,880
a manager say hey man, I had to do this

750
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,199
for you said, now you got to give you my

751
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,079
ten percent. No, I want to go back to the

752
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:24,679
day to where if you wanted to just like, hey, dude,

753
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,199
this is the day I want to pull up on

754
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:27,480
you and want to do a show with live with

755
00:38:27,559 --> 00:38:28,639
you right in front of your face.

756
00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:30,159
Speaker 4: Let's go bro.

757
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 6: I will literally call my job and be like, hey,

758
00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:34,960
I got a very important because I don't even stressed

759
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,880
this to my job. What this leads to the solace

760
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,679
what I do as well as being in the band,

761
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,039
it's not a hobby, right, I mean I put over,

762
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,440
you know, a good twenty years of my life into

763
00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:45,719
this to go play with like with Hay for Bones

764
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,840
and play with these bands for the Flaw and you know,

765
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,280
mushroom Head and all these guys, you know, and being

766
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,480
an independent bank.

767
00:38:51,559 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 4: So I know it's successful. I've seen the success out

768
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:54,639
of it.

769
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, you see what I'm saying, like by being with

770
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,719
that band Hey for Bones, so I know if I

771
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,679
can do it and go wrong, even though yes it might.

772
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,599
It's not the shortcut around. It's not hey, we can

773
00:39:04,639 --> 00:39:07,920
go hop this mountain and parachute down. No, we're gonna

774
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,199
take the long road and we're gonna do it the

775
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,039
right way. So that way not only one you have

776
00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:12,800
your receipts.

777
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 4: Only two.

778
00:39:14,159 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 6: You know that you have been respected and treated as

779
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,519
a decent human being, not an object a toy that

780
00:39:21,639 --> 00:39:24,280
I can make new law off you. No, I want

781
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,639
you to get paid. I want your music to get seen, period.

782
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,719
I want you to be just treated with respect no

783
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,960
matter where you go. Whether it's me helping you get

784
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,320
into these you know, these bills that are helping you

785
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,320
get paid while you're toying, I want you to make

786
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,079
sure you get paid accurately. Make sure you're not getting

787
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:42,920
treated or disrespect. You're not having to sign no contractor me.

788
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:44,559
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

789
00:39:44,679 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 6: I want to just help you promote because either way

790
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,760
it goes, it's gonna Whatever is gonna come is gonna come.

791
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:52,440
Because if you build, if what happens when you, like

792
00:39:52,519 --> 00:39:54,480
I told Will of them last night, what happens when

793
00:39:54,519 --> 00:39:58,440
you actually make that magnet powerful enough, everything's gonna come

794
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,880
stopping tools. Right, it's mainstream, whether it's under or even

795
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,199
lower to you know, the underground, you can actually there's

796
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,920
been many bands that still do it to this day.

797
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,719
It's like, oh man, I see what they're doing over there.

798
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,199
I want to go do that. I want to go

799
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,320
be with these guys. And the next thing you know,

800
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,559
here you go. You got something you mung's going on.

801
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,840
You know what I'm saying, that's actually not necessarily the

802
00:40:21,039 --> 00:40:24,199
call you calling the big stream bands to come play

803
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,559
with you. They're calling you say, hey, I want to

804
00:40:26,599 --> 00:40:28,960
be a part of this because you're helping the community

805
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,960
stay alive. Like when you see all these videos of

806
00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:36,440
like God's Man going out here to these schools, and

807
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:38,400
you know, you're sitting around with one hundred drummers and

808
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,920
all this and helping them teaching the music theory. And

809
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,599
that's what that's the end goal. We want to keep

810
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:47,320
it going so much to where it's getting thrown out.

811
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,559
And I love seeing these little videos on YouTube where

812
00:40:49,559 --> 00:40:51,800
these little kids are like sixty seven years old and

813
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,880
they meaning they're killing oh yeah, you know, a Lamb

814
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,719
of God later rests, you know, like anything out there.

815
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,079
I mean they are here on Dream Theater and it's

816
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:04,679
just like, yeah, I just.

817
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 4: I love it.

818
00:41:06,599 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 5: That example, there's a young drummer I think he's ten

819
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:13,639
or eleven now. His name is Caleb h and Joey

820
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,840
Jordison had kind of taken him under his wing before

821
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,719
he passed, and Jay Weinberg kind of continued that on

822
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,039
for a little while. He's been very endeared to Slipnot

823
00:41:23,039 --> 00:41:26,280
for a while and Vimic got together and did the

Speaker 3: Wow.

828
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 5: And you wouldn't if you heard a recording without a video,

829
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,000
you would never believe that it was It was an

830
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:48,480
elementary school kid behind the kid back there playing like Joey,

831
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,000
like Joey had written it for him.

832
00:41:50,119 --> 00:41:53,679
Speaker 6: No, Kidd's wild, And that's what that's what we're here for.

833
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,440
We want to keep this going from generations and generations.

834
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,639
Speaker 5: Well yeah, it's it's videos like that and talents like

835
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,760
that that remind you metal isn't dead, isn't going anywhere.

836
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,280
We don't need to gate keep it. It's in good hands.

837
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,800
We just need to educate the youth to how to

838
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:09,679
do it properly.

839
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, like I said, if I can go play with

840
00:42:12,639 --> 00:42:15,719
all these bands and have this, you know, this resume

841
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,760
of bands that I haven't played with, being from a

842
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,440
place called Lynchburg, Virginia, that I mean I've went to

843
00:42:23,519 --> 00:42:26,599
I went to school with people that lived in you know, Philadelphia,

844
00:42:26,639 --> 00:42:27,800
and I thought that's what they made.

845
00:42:28,159 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 4: You know, No, I Lynsburg, Virginia.

846
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like so to be honestly

847
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,480
like to just be a place for that and being

848
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:39,199
known that I could go up to Baltimore at any

849
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,599
time and play with, you know, all these well known

850
00:42:41,679 --> 00:42:44,760
bands and then go to be on the festival twice,

851
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,079
you know, with a bunch of bands.

852
00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 4: You know, come on, I crazy town, sick puppies. You

853
00:42:50,039 --> 00:42:50,559
know what I'm saying.

854
00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:53,119
Speaker 6: We we opened I think we closed out on our

855
00:42:53,199 --> 00:42:55,920
stage right before Fuel was starting up. I mean we

856
00:42:56,039 --> 00:42:58,119
didn't have the party with Tantric, and you know what

857
00:42:58,119 --> 00:43:00,679
I'm saying. Like, so being on that and doing all

858
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,079
that stuff and being just a band that is not

859
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,400
even signed. Yeah, yeah, just a local band has been

860
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,320
around for over twenty years that people have looked up

861
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,960
to and loved. Yeah, being able to do this stuff,

862
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,920
I know I can help you get to there.

863
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

864
00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:16,519
Speaker 5: Speaking of Tantric, Oh, I know what you're gonna talk about. Yeah,

865
00:43:16,639 --> 00:43:19,639
I must say congratulations to our friend Opus yep, yep

the full time touring drummer of the band Tantric.

868
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,960

874
00:43:43,039 --> 00:43:44,639

00:43:48,519 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh.

Speaker 5: They're starting their their tour in New England as as

879
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,440
an homage to Opus to say thank you for joining

00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:58,079
the band there.

881
00:43:58,199 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 3: Oh, that's cool.

882
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,199
Speaker 5: They're accommodating a New England start in the middle of January. Oh,

883
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,239
that's not a lot of bands come and see us

884
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:04,880
until April.

885
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 4: That's true. Yeah.

886
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 3: Jenny and I last year at Swarmyfest because of course

887
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,800
dead By Wednesday was one of the bands, and when

888
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,119
they you know, I had to go upfront to see them,

889
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:17,159
and then, you know, I kind of came back to

890
00:44:17,199 --> 00:44:18,639
the table for a little bit and then I heard,

891
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,119
you know, their cover of No Easy Way Out they

892
00:44:21,199 --> 00:44:22,880
started playing that. I said to Jenny, I was like, oh,

893
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,159
you got to go. I had to go back upfront

894
00:44:25,199 --> 00:44:27,920
for that because I love that so much. That's so good.

895
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,239
Dead By Wednesday is so good live do you know?

896
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,480
Is he so now that he's the full time touring

897
00:44:32,559 --> 00:44:35,679
drummer with Tantric is he. I mean, what's happening with

898
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:36,400
Dead By Wednesday?

899
00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 5: They are still alive, well, fully functioning. Yeah, yeah, they're

900
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,519
still still doing work.

901
00:44:41,599 --> 00:44:44,079
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, every drummer is in fifteen different bands.

902
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 5: Anyway, I was just going to say he's also in

903
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,840
He's still in the Black Sabbath Tribute project as well.

904
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,239
I believe I believe they're calling that some relation to Earth.

905
00:44:55,639 --> 00:44:58,280
Oh okay, but it's I think it's just like Earth,

906
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,760
the Black Sabbath Tribute. Oh, they'll be they'll be playing

907
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,239
upstairs all night between bands at Blizzard Bash the Tribute act,

908
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,400
so Opus will be in the building all day long.

909
00:45:09,639 --> 00:45:12,519
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, And that's awesome because to see the guys

910
00:45:12,599 --> 00:45:17,719
that work the industry, like uh, like Sepsis and then

911
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,440
Dead By Wednesday with Opus and then like.

912
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 4: I love that dude.

913
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 3: He was on the show with us.

914
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah great is a networking Yeah yeah, I mean I

915
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,119
love that dude to death.

916
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 6: Big shouts out of there, like I him up as

917
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,639
much as I can, and every since I can get

918
00:45:36,039 --> 00:45:38,000
I try to come see your show, especially if I can,

919
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:39,679
if I get it while I'm up here, because I'm

920
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:40,280
only up here.

921
00:45:40,679 --> 00:45:43,199
Speaker 4: Well, now that I have my real ID, you know,

922
00:45:44,159 --> 00:45:49,320
I can fly. I got a little star.

923
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like, uh, that's the

924
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,440
whole other story. I got into that whole ransom the

925
00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:56,719
other day. But yeah, now no, I'm flying, I can

926
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,599
go get more. But also, like I said, I'm trying

927
00:45:58,639 --> 00:46:03,760
to I'm trying to bands down here, up here, down there, yep,

928
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,960
and then down here down there up here.

929
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

930
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 6: That's my goal for starting off, to make a strong

931
00:46:10,039 --> 00:46:12,639
connection between bands up here and bands down there.

932
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,639
Speaker 5: And that's just another thing that Legion of Solace does

933
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:22,079
is because we are in different markets personally residentially, we

934
00:46:22,199 --> 00:46:24,519
can introduce you to markets that you might not get

935
00:46:24,599 --> 00:46:27,639
to as readily because you're trying to get it through

936
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:31,400
a digital realm. Whereas, if you want a Southeast market,

937
00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:35,320
we have Southeast residents in our company. We can send

938
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,840
that down and you can send it directly to that market.

939
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,159
So instead of you having to travel one thousand miles

940
00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:44,079
six hundred miles from home and then put foot to ground,

941
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:45,920
we can be your street team.

942
00:46:46,159 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: Right.

943
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 5: You send us the material, you send us the flyers.

944
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,880
You never know, there may be a band that we

945
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,519
work with that's putting together a five band show. They

946
00:46:54,599 --> 00:46:56,320
have four and they're looking to pick somebody up on

947
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,159
their way through. You have a gig in South Carolina,

948
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,960
you have a gig in Tennessee, it would make sense

949
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,639
to pick up a stop through in Virginia.

950
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

951
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 6: Like I said, I got you and we got you because,

952
00:47:08,519 --> 00:47:10,880
like I said, it's nothing to try to talk to

953
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,440
some of these other venues as well as, if anything,

954
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,000
the great thing about it down there, we don't have

955
00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:17,280
to have a promoter's license.

956
00:47:17,599 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 4: I can go.

957
00:47:18,119 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 6: I can go rent out the biggest ruins in club

958
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,280
that we have down there and put on a show.

959
00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:25,800
Yeah charged it. I mean, as long as you're not

960
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,880
selling alcohol. Yeah, I don't need a promoter license.

961
00:47:29,159 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 4: I can go.

962
00:47:29,639 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 6: I can literally go use finding someplace with an awesome stage,

963
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,679
get somebody to run PA and boom right there and

964
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,360
at least have I know there's one down in the

965
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,920
whole capacity of three hundred people with the stage so

966
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,679
pretty much boom as well as if not, I have

967
00:47:45,159 --> 00:47:47,519
the whole outside that I can just set up outside

968
00:47:47,519 --> 00:47:50,320
of stage and do it. There's plenty of places are

969
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,480
just find somebody with enough land that will take a

970
00:47:52,559 --> 00:47:53,280
cut of some money.

971
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 4: There you go.

972
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 6: Which that's what we used to do back in the day.

973
00:47:56,119 --> 00:47:58,920
I mean like when when when that band was playing,

974
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,960
and because I said, I've followed Hayful Bones if I

975
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,360
even joined them. So I was one of the kids

976
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,280
that was I was out there at thirteen years old

977
00:48:05,599 --> 00:48:09,360
at these backyard parties. You know what I'm saying, partying

978
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,719
with these guys, not drinking, but just partying, join the music,

979
00:48:13,199 --> 00:48:15,800
and it's like, dude, that's what made me fall more

980
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,440
in love with the local and get to this kick

981
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,960
because if I would have never seen that or experienced

982
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,360
that by the band that I was with, to see

983
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,440
the struggle and then actually join in the band and

984
00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:28,599
then then eventually joined the band that was following. Yeah,

985
00:48:28,639 --> 00:48:31,239
and then see the struggles of all right, well now

986
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:32,800
we got to make a band account, we got to

987
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,480
do band merch, we got to do CDs, which great

988
00:48:35,519 --> 00:48:37,239
thing about that day. And as long as you had

989
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,199
a tower and you had your music, you could burn

990
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,079
see these all dayn line. Yeah, that's true, all day

991
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,039
all day like and then so that way we were

992
00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:48,800
it was great. And then you had these little self

993
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:54,239
labeling systems. I remember, Yeah, that's what that's what I

994
00:48:54,519 --> 00:48:56,440
see him doing. Like we have even had this point

995
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,159
where we were selling airbrush shirts. Yeah you know what

996
00:48:59,199 --> 00:49:01,039
I'm saying. Like I had an old school shirt that

997
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,119
from hay Bus, I mean in a couple of years. Yeah,

998
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,360
you know it was air brushed. You know what I'm saying,

999
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,840
that's what they sold. They were everywhere you could do

1000
00:49:09,039 --> 00:49:11,320
it to where you can get your merch off, whether

1001
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,400
it's having a custom painter, having a shirt to a

1002
00:49:14,519 --> 00:49:15,760
team do it for you or whatever.

1003
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what we're here for. We helped whatever style

1004
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:20,559
you want, We're going to try to help you to

1005
00:49:20,639 --> 00:49:20,920
get there.

1006
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,079
Speaker 5: When the White Stripes first started, their first merch was

1007
00:49:24,159 --> 00:49:28,039
just a white T shirt with white stripes with sharpie,

1008
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:31,280
wasn't it right? Yeah, they just like scribbled on them

1009
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,679
before the show made ten or fifteen, that was their

1010
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:34,000
merch that.

1011
00:49:34,159 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's what sounded like. It's crazy.

1012
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 6: So like I'm saying, we've seen it where I've you know,

1013
00:49:38,039 --> 00:49:40,159
I've didn't even help sell out all our mercer we

1014
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,599
just bought the day before, and it's just like we

1015
00:49:42,679 --> 00:49:43,840
got three more shows out of this.

1016
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 4: What are we gonna do.

1017
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, guys, we are approaching the top of the

1018
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,639
hour real quick and then and then we'll let you

1019
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,480
go where. So where should people go online? Where's the

1020
00:49:55,519 --> 00:49:57,119
best place to go to keep up with everything? Legion

1021
00:49:57,159 --> 00:49:58,199
of Solace is doing.

1022
00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 6: Facebook for right now okay and Instagram okay right now

1023
00:50:03,559 --> 00:50:07,400
because eventually, like I said, once we once Tuesday gets

1024
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,920
to do it. Back to door and her thing. We're,

1025
00:50:09,079 --> 00:50:10,960
like I said, we're trying to find a platform to

1026
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
where we can be us and not have to worry

1027
00:50:14,039 --> 00:50:15,880
about any restrictions that I have to work because I

1028
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,519
even me playing some of these bands like that are unsigned.

1029
00:50:19,679 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 4: Yeah I get muted on Facebook.

1030
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 6: Yeah you know what I'm saying, because it sounds like

1031
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,440
something else or whatever and it's not even a sign band,

1032
00:50:26,519 --> 00:50:28,719
and then I have to wait months and months, I think,

1033
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:32,440
just not even two weeks ago, I got a notification saying, oh,

1034
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,039
we've unlocked your things, seeing that we've actually you know, researching,

1035
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:39,119
and it's not a sign band on there, you know

1036
00:50:39,159 --> 00:50:41,679
what I'm saying, Like, so just do that.

1037
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 4: That's not like I'm gonna test op TikTok okay on.

1038
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 5: The human element catches up with the algorithm right.

1039
00:50:47,159 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 6: So I've got a bunch of stuff that I've done

1040
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,800
done through Facebook. But if I do it right, if

1041
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,199
I do do it right and there are enough underground,

1042
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,960
I don't be muted. Like there's like maybe one or

1043
00:50:58,039 --> 00:51:00,440
two shows that I have going through my quarter a

1044
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,559
monica that is unmedits right now.

1045
00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 3: Okay, wow, all right, Yeah, that's always that's always a challenge.

1046
00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:06,440
