16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,079
become a big fan in a short time because I

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,880
really really love their sound and I think via Microsoft teams,

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,439
I think we've got the whole band here. Let's see

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:01,119

00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,799

00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,799
the show. Everybody welcome, and you are in Glasgow? Is

00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:17,040
that correct? Very very good? Is it now? What's the

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,599
weather like there? Here? It is bitterly cold. Does it

24
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:20,200
get cold there?

25
00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

26
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:26,799
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's colder than the Manchester Napster,

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,760
but it's pretty pretty cold.

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,519
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh really, Uh yeah, it's it's just been

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,480
it's been absolutely brutal here. But but I love that

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,200
track Patsy Kensitt and uh. At the end of our

31
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,400
conversation too, we're gonna play We're gonna play the earlier single,

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,760
that Demon Child song that I love a lot. And

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,079
there's another song too that I'll probably play later in

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,040
the show that I really like, A Drink for You.

35
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,599
I listened to that one too and just love it.

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,079
So everything that I've listened to I've really really enjoyed.

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,439
But this is coming out, So the single is out

38
00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,879
Friday the thirteenth, Is that correct, that's right?

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day?

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, excellent. Can you tell us about that

41
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:08,120
song because I feel like this kind of a humorous

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,159
theme there with the lyrics. Tell us about Patsy Kensitt

43
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,879
and also too and I'm curious why why you chose

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,840
this for a single. It's a great track, but I'd

45
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,960
like to know the relevance of it in your world.

46
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: Sure, So, yeah, it was one of the first songs

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,479
that me, Sophie and Kirsty Casey interchangeable use of.

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,719
Speaker 2: Names and I wrote.

49
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:38,199
Speaker 3: Actually so we wrote it years and years and years ago,

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,560
and we started with the bridge, which is if anyone's

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,960
ever written a song knows that that's a really odd

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,120
place to start.

53
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: With the songs. But we used to.

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,479
Speaker 3: So my mom had been seeing this guy and he

55
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,560
was just like comedy gold on Twitter. He was just

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,800
he was the worst in real life.

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,159
Speaker 4: So we just do We didn't so, I mean, Christie

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,319
used to go on his Twitter formally known as Twitter, Yeah,

59
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,639
and just like laugh at his tweets because they were

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,080
so unself.

61
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: Aware and hilarious. But one of the I do is

62
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,280
he used.

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,599
Speaker 3: To just randomly retweet selfies of Patsy Kensit without any context.

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,000
Really yeah, very odd behavior. And he did lots of

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,159
other very funny stuff on Twitter. But that's where the lyric.

66
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,479
Speaker 2: About Patsy Kensick came from.

67
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: Because yeah, we just it was like every fourth or

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,840
fifth tweet was just like a retweet of a selfie

69
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:37,080
that Patsy Kenson had tweeted, which was odd. But yeah,

70
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:40,800
so we'd written the bridge years ago. It took a

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,919
long time to then try and get into what the

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,960
song would actually be about, because just written a song

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,319
about him felt it was just very niche and too specific.

74
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:50,919
But once we kind of hit onto the theme of

75
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,560
just people, but mainly men who are you know, big

76
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,240
egos just like to take up the full room with

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,039
their own self importance. And when someone you know starts

78
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,439
dating a person like that, it means that they unfortunately

79
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:12,919
have to be you have to then also spend them

80
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:17,759
on by not through choice. So it's that's the kind

81
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:19,240
of wider theme of the song. And once we kind

82
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,120
of got into that more relatability. So when because we

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,680
wrote this long before Paul and Lauren joined the band

84
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,800
in our previous drummer Harry as well, and I think

85
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,160
once we brought that theme to the rest of the band,

86
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:32,240
it came about quite quickly because everyone knows someone like that. Yeah,

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,879
you know, everyone unfortunate experience at least once in their

88
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,600
life of being around a person like that. So after

89
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:43,079
that it came together quite quite quickly. So and yeah,

90
00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:45,759
and that's also why it's called Patsy Kensit just because

91
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:48,079
over here in the UK she is a bit of

92
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:52,199
an icon. So and that because obviously was the catalyst

93
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,920
of the whole song. That and you know, we did

94
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:57,120
take the songs a bit teeky and playful, so it

95
00:04:57,199 --> 00:04:59,120
just felt absolutely natural that should be the name of

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,600
the song as well, even know it was technically nothing

97
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,800
to do with or about Patsy, not about Patsy Kenzy.

98
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:09,959
Speaker 1: Sure sure, yeah, I mean, and there's other examples of

99
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,519
that in music, like you know, Rosa Parks by Outcast

100
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,800
has nothing nothing to do with Rosa Parks for example.

101
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,480
But but so I have to know though, so the

102
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:23,720
person who inspired the song, or at least the you

103
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,360
know what what the song initially was, are they still

104
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:28,560
in your life in any way?

105
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: No, no good. That's why I think as well, it

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,959
became the right moment to do it. Obviously, if I

107
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,879
think until they very thankfully broke up, I think it

108
00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:41,199
just like would be a.

109
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,319
Speaker 2: Bit too close to home. But luckily, you know, they're

110
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,720
long long, long gone. So yeah, I'm sure that she

111
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,839
knew so that she.

112
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: Was okay without doing it.

113
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: Well, she she probably uh, she probably gets a kick

114
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,399
out of it, right, Yes.

115
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,079
Speaker 2: She really enjoyed hearing it for the first time.

116
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that's really cool. That's really cool. So

117
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,319
I mean this this sound of yours, I mean it's

118
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:09,800
sort of, you know, kind of dreamy. You probably hear

119
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,600
that word a lot, you know, kind of that that

120
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,000
sort of dream distorted type of sound. And it seems

121
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,720
to be the other songs I think have kind of

122
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:21,279
a similar vibe. I mean, but the band has been

123
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:24,240
around for a while, right, and I'm curious if if

124
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,800
the if your approach to this has kind of changed

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,680
over the years. It sounds like the lineup has been

126
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,120
pretty stable, right, You've had you did have a different

127
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,839
You said you had a different drummer at one point.

128
00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we h.

129
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,399
Speaker 2: Oh need to learn.

130
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had the same drummer for a really long time.

131
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,560
I think you guys parted out with him, didn't you,

132
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:52,600
Sophie and Percy before I joined, and he left recently

133
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,040
to be a dad. He's such a good dad. He's

134
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,759
got a little boy, so understandably he's dedicating his time

135
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,399
to that. Then we had a couple of successive drummers, briefly,

136
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,920
but we've we settled on someone that we think is

137
00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:12,800
the right fit now, which is nice because it means

138
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,079
we've got that stability to get cracking again. But yeah,

139
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,399
that Paul is a relative, well the public to the

140
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:29,959
public that we're ending. But yeah, that's been a pretty

141
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:34,519
seamless kind of transition adding pauland because he's really good

142
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:37,600
at what he does, and I think has just really

143
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:43,360
enhanced everything that we do, the older songs, new songs

144
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,399
that we're writing. Yeah, I think that's really helped us

145
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,920
kind of I don't know, just kind of easily find

146
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,160
a sound that feels natural to us. And we're kind

147
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,439
of finding that we're writing things that we think, oh actually,

148
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:01,399
yeah that kind of line up with that that we've

149
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:04,319
written all this and it's we can feel a progression

150
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:06,720
in ourselves, which is nice.

151
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:10,839
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, yeah, no, that's excellent. And then what's

152
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:12,959
kind of the live situation there? Are are you doing

153
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,920
a lot of shows? Are you touring at all? What's

154
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,639
what's going on with that? Because I bet these songs

155
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:21,439
sound really good live, I would imagine, Yeah, I.

156
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: Mean we like to think that they do.

157
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,959
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I think just because of all the

158
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,480
the drummer changes and kind of getting everyone up speed like.

159
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,320
Unfortunately we've not been able to play live shows for

160
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,120
a little while, but that's us now, full five key

161
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,440
stable line up and ready to hit the ground. So

162
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,679
we've got a headline show to launch a single on

163
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,200
the twentieth of March at a really great venue in

164
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,639
Glasgow called mccool's, really old established venue, independent important especially

165
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:53,879
for the Scottish and British.

166
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: Independent venues are really important support.

167
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: And then after that, yeah, the whole is tours, know

168
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,320
more more gigging. We just were ready to kind of yeah,

169
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,840
as you say, let people hear them live because I

170
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,759
think we do have this fun, raw, energetic quality that

171
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:13,759
you know, you just hearing them live, you know, you

172
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:15,480
get that better than anything.

173
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:18,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I can imagine absolutely. And then now

174
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:21,759
is this is the single part of an upcoming EP

175
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,799
or what's what's the situation there? There's so many different

176
00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:27,240
ways to release music now and so many different strategies,

177
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:29,480
But do you have an EP coming up that this

178
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,200
is going to be on?

179
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,759
Speaker 3: This one is a standalone So we're launching Patsy. So Patsy,

180
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,840
I think made sense to do as a standalone single

181
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,600
because this it definitely hints at the music that's to come.

182
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:46,679
I think the sound if you look kind of our

183
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,440
original stuff and then this, it does feel like a

184
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,480
more mature, elevated kind of sound than what where we've

185
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,200
come from, and definitely hints at what's to come. But

186
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,480
the sort of that sort of like vintagey, nostalgic kind

187
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,519
of sound probably sits alone with Patsy, but that dreamy,

188
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,159
sassy qualities definitely. You can definitely hear that in the

189
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:11,039
other songs to come. So loads of songs kind of

190
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:14,200
ready to go, but Patsy just forms part of her

191
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,399
own own kind of special universe.

192
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, and I was reading too. Is this correct?

193
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:23,440
So that you recorded that with Andy Monahana from Santa's Name, correctly,

194
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:28,039
that's correct, but only the single, right, the previous singles

195
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:30,720
you did not record with him, correct?

196
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: He mixed Demon Child, so the Child we recorded, Yeah,

197
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:38,240
so we recorded that at the Chunky studios, so he

198
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:40,840
didn't engineer and record that with them, but he did

199
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,960
mix it for us. So that final sound, the final

200
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,679
kind of recording of Demon Child, we worked for Andy on.

201
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:48,559
So that's why we knew we really wanted to do

202
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,480
a song from start.

203
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: To finish with him.

204
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: Oh, actually, Patsy, because he is he is great what

205
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:56,519
he does, he's fantastic, and he's just he's a really

206
00:10:56,519 --> 00:10:59,039
good guy. And you know, we're big fans of Frighten

207
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,440
Rabbit as well, of course, So yeah, it was a

208
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:03,559
real dream working with him.

209
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,399
Speaker 2: So it was great.

210
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: So as far as the EP, is your plan to

211
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,720
work with him on that as well, or are you

212
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,960
gonna or is that gonna be a different direction or

213
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,679
do you know yet? I don't know if you've started

214
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,679
working on it yet, but we don't know yet.

215
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing. We've got.

216
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:20,519
Speaker 3: All of the songs are kind of still at the

217
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,879
demo stages and then all of that still to be

218
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,480
worked out. But yeah, plans are a fit, which is exciting.

219
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I mean he definitely captured something here,

220
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,799
so that's great. Although I have to tell you that

221
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:36,559
song I really love is it a drink for you

222
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:39,399
or a song for you? Oh? A song a song

223
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,879
for you? I really like that one a lot too.

224
00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:45,039
I'm gonna try to sneak that one in later as well. Yeah,

225
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,519
really really good. Yeah, and I think too, so the

226
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:52,480
debut EP Better Run. When did that come out? Was

227
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:53,720
that four years ago?

228
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:56,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was twenty twenty.

229
00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:00,639
Speaker 3: Unfortunately it came out I think four day before the

230
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,639
UK locknown Sorry.

231
00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: Time of life not great? Yeah, I think.

232
00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we played our EP launch show on the Saturday,

233
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,600
so it came out the Friday, watched on the Saturday,

234
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,320
and then Lockdown UK and I think started on the Wednesday,

235
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:23,080
so I think there was also like we held a

236
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,120
super spreader event.

237
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 5: Oh no, yeah, it was nice to go out with

238
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,240
a bit of a bang though.

239
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. This is this has been such a consistent thing

240
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:36,320
that comes up on the show over the past several years.

241
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,759
Is so many artists who you know, either just released

242
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:41,519
something or they were about to go on a big

243
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:45,559
tour or something right before everything just went to hell.

244
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 5: It's nice to see that people are still kind of

245
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:54,559
trying to come back though, Yeah, which is you know,

246
00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:59,000
tenacity is the key I think with these things, and

247
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:02,240
it's really great to see that people still, you know,

248
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:08,399
tried to keep making music and yeah, yeah, derail them.

249
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:10,519
Speaker 1: Well, I've always said I always say too, you know

250
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,559
when the subject comes up. The pandemic was awful, obviously,

251
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,600
but we have to find these silver linings where we can.

252
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:17,799
And I think one of the one of those few

253
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,679
silver linings is a lot of musicians found new ways

254
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,960
to kind of be creative and and find ways to

255
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:27,000
or find ways to collaborate with others online, you know,

256
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:30,519
from a distance. The technology to do that was all

257
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,159
already there, but not everyone necessarily was embracing it. And

258
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,919
I think people were forced to embrace it in ways

259
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,600
that they hadn't before. So so that's that's a good thing.

260
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,240
And and so a lot of people, you know, it

261
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,600
couldn't really tour, but you could still make music and

262
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,759
and uh and a lot of a lot of great,

263
00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:51,159
great stuff came out musically from that. So but yeah,

264
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,480
so so what ended up happening? So so right before

265
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,000
so you played that show and then everything shuts down.

266
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,799
But from what I was reading online, I mean, you

267
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,559
still had some success with the EP right in terms

268
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,399
of placement and airplay and so forth.

269
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was really well received, and I just the

270
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,039
unfortunate thing is not being able to obviously what you want.

271
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,399
As event, we were on a really good you know,

272
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,720
grassroots you know, getting somewhere it felt really good, and

273
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,080
then obviously what you want when you release an EPs

274
00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:26,240
to then launch that into tours and playing lots of

275
00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:29,000
shows and getting really good support slots, and just unfortunately

276
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,080
that none of that could happen. So it was as music.

277
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:36,559
It was well received, but we couldn't really capitalize on it,

278
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,039
And because it was our DBP, it was tricky because

279
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,759
it just meant there was so little to like work with.

280
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Did a follow up single, Demon Child, and that's why

281
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,360
we ended up doing this as a standalone again, just

282
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,639
try and keep some sort of momentum going. And I

283
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:54,080
think that did even better than the EP, because by

284
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,720
that point it was twenty twenty one, okay, but still

285
00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:02,720
in Scotland and the UK again, gigs weren't still really happening.

286
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: It was still very much kind of pandemic y vibes.

287
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,600
So again that did really well and.

288
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:09,919
Speaker 3: Was welle received, but we just haven't been able to,

289
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,360
you know, off the back of those, we just weren't

290
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:14,320
able to do that the dream scenario of getting tours

291
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,360
and booking shows.

292
00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: And getting that kind of more you know, the real world.

293
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:19,960
That's why you do it.

294
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,759
Speaker 3: You like putting up music, but you put music so

295
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,039
that you can actually play in front of people.

296
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Right, exactly, exactly. Yeah, So it must be wonderful to

297
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:29,840
really be in a position now where you know you

298
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:32,720
continue to have all this, you know, you clearly have

299
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,759
a lot of momentum here and to be able to

300
00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:39,039
finally really do everything and you know, try to fulfill

301
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,440
the full potential for the band in terms of I mean,

302
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,240
like I said, it sounds great, but to be able

303
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,000
to get out there and play and do all the

304
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:48,639
things you know, obviously, I'm sure you want to do

305
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:51,279
a lot to support the single Patsy Kensitt, which is

306
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,039
great and I do love it even more now that

307
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,960
I know the story behind it, because because what you

308
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,720
said is true, we all know people like that, So

309
00:15:57,759 --> 00:15:59,000
I think it's highly relatable.

310
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:04,799
Speaker 5: Everyone that listens to has somebody that they picture in.

311
00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:10,919
Speaker 1: Them absolutely absolutely one. I have eleven or twelve that

312
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,759
I can think of. But but Americans are We're a

313
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:23,320
bit narcissistic over here. So well, so where should people? Oh? Actually,

314
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,320
before I ask you that question too, I forgot to

315
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,399
ask you one of the obvious questions Lemon drink? Where

316
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:31,840
does the name come from?

317
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:32,399
Speaker 2: See?

318
00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: I really think you know it's funny we get obvious question,

319
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,440
but we've yet to come up with a more interesting story.

320
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, Chirsty, you tell it.

321
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:48,039
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's not a fantastic story. But me

322
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,279
and Sophie were just out one night bar in Glasgow

323
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,320
getting some amortosuers and they were perhaps the worst amorts

324
00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:59,000
we've ever had. It was just they just squeezed some

325
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,120
lemon and some memory into a glass. I was like,

326
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,920
this is just a lemon drink. And then that's that

327
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,200
was it, And like, great name for band, and here

328
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:09,599
we are.

329
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 3: Like but also I think at that point it was

330
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,799
like to the morning we're probably it maybe felt better,

331
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,240
but the next day it's still stuck.

332
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,559
Speaker 2: So yeah, later is stuck.

333
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,440
