We have Tony and Martin from Naked Without It. Hi, guys,
can you hear me? H?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Awesome, awesome. It's always a little nerve wracking with a
transcontinental Skype call because it doesn't always work out, so
it's nice when it does. But great, great to have
you guys here with us this morning. So what what
do you each do in Naked with Out It? What
are your roles respectively?
Speaker 6: Tony and I play rhythm guitar and I sing okay,
and I'm Martin. I play all the other guitar and
do a bit of BVS as well.
Speaker 13: Yeah, okay, okay, very good, very good. Now that song
spinning is it's very catchy. And I noticed all your
songs are are like that. They're very easy to to
kind of sing along to. Has that always been, uh?
Has that always been kind of them? Is of naked
without it? Have you always written songs that are, you know,
just very accessible and just kind of get stuck in
your brain? Has that always been been kind of the approach?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 14: We do like a chorus, and we do like a
sing along. Yeah, we do like a sing along when
we play live. And we started when we started out, well,
we started out a few years ago.
Speaker 1: We did a.
Speaker 14: An online interview during COVID, So we did an online interview,
and I can remember I always say, I can always
remember my in saying to me at the time, you know,
just wait, we're the entertainment. So it sort of dawned
on me then that, you know, our job really was
to entertain So I've always sort of found there was
no point doing heartfelt songs that people aren't going to catch.
I suppose there's a place, but but for us, it
doesn't really work. So we're here to entertain, really, and
I think a big chorus is a way of entertaining.
Speaker 13: Yeah, oh absolutely, I'm interested in So the these songs
that we're playing, these are from an album called Singles Club.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, Now tell me.
Speaker 13: If I have this right. And there's a specific reason
why this is so interesting to me. Uh, this is
a series of Did you release these each individually as
singles and then compile them into an album called Singles Club?
Is that was that your approach to this?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It did.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Okay. The reason I'm the reason I'm so curious
about it is because this has been a topic of
conversation on the show. You know, I'm old enough to remember,
and I suspect you guys are too. When there was
really kind of a standard way of doing things. You know,
you've got an album coming out, first single goes to
radio maybe six to eight weeks before the album's coming out.
Then the album comes out, then you have the second
single and so forth. And it was, you know, everybody
released albums. Somebody might occasionally release an EP, but that's
sort of the old record company model. Now we live
in an era where, because of the Internet, there's so
many different ways you can approach it. You can release albums,
you can release EPs, you can just put out singles
forever and never release an album. But I've noticed, especially
in the past couple of years, a lot of the
guests that we have, their approach is, rather than putting
out an album and a series of singles, releasing a
series of singles that eventually become an album. And it
seems like you guys have kind of taken it to
a new level where it's like, that's clearly what this is,
because you're calling the album Singles Club because it's literally
a collection of singles, and I think that's very interesting
that you've taken that approach.
Speaker 1: But yeah, exactly.
Speaker 14: We back in twenty twenty two, we were talking about
what we were going to do because we'd done one album.
We did a first album, Habits Far Too Bright, which
was along the same lines, along the normal lines, you know,
we got it all together, we released it as you
should sort of thing, and then we had a conversation
and just sort of said that music's a bit more
immediate now. Nobody sort of wants to wait for anything.
Everything is done straight away, so we sort of thought, well,
we'd we'd instead of instead of holding things back, what
we would do is we would plan to release a
single every six weeks, and then at the end of
it we did add the intention of putting out like
the Hard Hard CD version. Of course, we didn't actually
realize because we didn't work this one out very well.
Is that when we decided that in twenty twenty two
to do twelve singles, it was going to take us
seventy two weeks. So we didn't realize we were actually
committing ourselves to a year and a half's work, which
was recording. You know, we've got a recording release it,
you know, or the or the artwork, publicizing, et cetera,
and then we're on to the next one and on
to the next one.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we did it. We got we got a
little bit random every every now and again.
Speaker 14: But yeah, seventy two weeks later we ended up with
the Singles Club album, So yeah, and we're really happy
with it.
Speaker 13: Was that was that a difficult decision for you both
because obviously, you know, we're all or we all were
used to doing it the old way. I mean, it
was this something. Did you put a lot of thought
into is this really the right way to approach it?
Or maybe it instinctively just felt right and obvious to you.
I mean, was that a difficult decision to come to
or did it come easy?
Speaker 6: I think we thought that, you know, like, because people
generally will stream a song or they like a songs,
so we thought, if we just keep giving them songs,
you know, spaced out rather than just all together, there's
more chats that they might listen to more of what
we do rather than here's an album or what's the single,
I'll listen to that and ignore the rest.
Speaker 13: So yeah, yeah, and it just.
Speaker 10: It just kept it free for us as well.
Speaker 6: And it was a good, you know kind of time
to keep working on things and you can change things,
you know, as you know, you can start with a song,
but then over time it might evolve into something slightly differently.
So with a six week gap, if you like, in
between what we were doing, we did have that luxury
of saying, well, actually, maybe we should change this a
little bit and we can try things out and you know,
give a few different ideas. So from a you know,
from actually a creative point of view, it was quite helpful,
rather than we have to get the album done within
this amount of time and then once it's done, that's it.
Whereas with this you know you're only doing one song
at a time essentially. So yeah, we had a bit
more bit more flexibility.
Speaker 14: So and we had a bit of engagement from like
the people that come and see us play, because of
course they knew something was coming in six weeks time,
so people we're asking us when the next one's due,
when's the next one due?
Speaker 1: Which which was nice. So yeah, kept us on our toes.
Speaker 13: Really, yeah, I can see how it would be kind
of liberating to be able to approach it this way.
And something else too that we talk a lot about
on the show is the importance of adaptability to a
constantly changing music industry. And uh, in fact, that was
a big subject in some ways in the in the
in the previous segment that we were doing. So is
this going to be the new approach going forward? Do
you think you're going to keep doing it this way?
Or I mean, obviously you're promoting this album singles club,
these singles that have become an album, so I don't
know if you're even thinking that far ahead, But are
you thinking about kind of the future or are you
in the moments just more focused on promoting what you've
what you've just released recently.
Speaker 14: Well, I mean absolutely we we We had a gig
last night, and we basically went into studio this morning
and recorded the basics of like the first three tracks
for something that's planned for later on in the year.
Speaker 1: I mean, I constantly write lyrics.
Speaker 14: Lyrics just keep coming, so we keep we write them down,
and then we work on the ideas.
Speaker 1: We live.
Speaker 14: About one hundred miles apart. Oh no kidding, So we
so we've sort of been break the technology. So we
send each other ideas all the time via WhatsApp, and
then so we pass some sort of forwards and backwards
like that, and you know, we work on bits at
the other end, and then we sort of come together
for gigs. We were saying today, we don't really rehearse
very much because we just sort of we do. If
we do, I rehearse my bits. My rehearses is bits,
and then and then we bring them together at gigs.
Speaker 1: Generally.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and we're quite We're pretty disciplined, to be honest.
So we're well, i'd say we are. I mean, if
you if you see us live, sometimes we're not particularly
just discipline. Some of the crowd know the lyrics better
than I do. Sometimes it's just a bit embarrassing, especially
when Yeah, sometimes so if I go into the wrong
verse and somebody will give me a look.
Speaker 1: From the crowd and you'd be, oh, okay, cheers right
right my song?
Speaker 2: I like.
Speaker 13: You know, that's another you know, in terms of being
able to send tracks back and forth on WhatsApp. I mean,
that's another example of how, you know, being able to
adapt to the changing technology and the changing dynamics of
the industry is so important. And I always say this
comes up a lot too reflecting on the pandemic. You know,
the pandemic was terrible, but we have to find these
silver linings where we can. And I think one of
those few silver linings was it kind of forced people
creative people, I think musicians in particular, to kind of
find new ways to create and to get comfortable with
creating from a distance. Like you guys said, you know,
you're one hundred miles apart, and you know, I think
for a lot of people pre pandemic, the idea of
even being able to work that way even though the
technology was already there and has been there for a while,
to be able to you know, just send tracks back
and forth online. I think I think a lot of
people pre pandemic were resistant to that, who then became
comfortable with it, who now now it's very freeing because
it's just another way to create, and to be able
to create and collaborate with somebody who is one hundred
miles away is really cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We did, I mean we did in Lockdown.
Speaker 14: We sat, we we started, we were doing a few
there was a few internet radio sort of shows, but
we also did sort of gigs at home. Yeah, you know,
we we we got into when the times we were toge,
we got together and just sort of uh played played
that played an online gig sort of like on Facebook
Live or something like that, because it was a way
of still getting still getting the gigs done if you
do enough promotion before and get everybody sort of aware
that it's going to happen and make a bit of
a party of it.
Speaker 1: It worked for us. So yeah, that was good.
Speaker 6: So we released our first EP the week before Lockdown happened.
We did, so it wasn't our fault just so yeah,
So we didn't get a chance to go and play
it live, and so we had to find a way
to do it, you know, still get the music heard.
So we did, you know, we did one of those
videos where we were calling our bit separately pieces together,
trying to find out how that technology works. Like you say,
I mean, it was kind of figuring out a lot
of stuff very quickly that you could promote, you know,
our new product, because we were very excited about it
at the time, and and you know, you want people
to hear it. And it was, you know, amazingly bad
timing from that point.
Speaker 13: Well, to be fair, I mean, there's never a good
time for a plague.
Speaker 1: True.
Speaker 13: You guys also too, So I was reading an in
your bio. Did you guys work together previously and then
you took a really long break and then came back
together in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we did, yeah, yoga, but we many years ago. Yes,
it's could be or nearly thirty years ago. I know,
we don't look that old, but we can't see it's
on radio. So we we used we bet we're in
different bands in the same kind of area, and Tony
and I we got together and we used to play
you know, just as a duo, just acoustic guitar, and
we worked on some stuff and did a couple of gigs,
and then you know, we kind of went off and
you know, moved places, and you know, there's no.
Speaker 10: Big falling out, there's no big kind of showbiz.
Speaker 1: Argument that we just you know, we just kind of
moved and didnder for well.
Speaker 6: And then the bands that we used to be in,
we we had the same drummer in both bands, and
he sadly died in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: So we met up at the funeral.
Speaker 6: At his funeral, had half a glass of sherry, and
I thought maybe it was time to get the band
back together.
Speaker 10: So and it was kind of funny.
Speaker 6: Because we you know, see, we lived quite a distance apart,
and I went over for the weekend and I put
my guitar down in Tony's man cave on the first.
Speaker 1: Day and it kind of stayed there. We just you know,
we just hung out and talked and it was almost oft.
Speaker 10: Time to go home.
Speaker 6: So the next day and we said, well, we should
probably have a go and see what was just like
because I think there was a little bit of apprehension
that it had been so long and you know, it
was remembered very fondly and you don't know how things
are going to be all those years later. And for
me it was great because he still had his old
songbook that we used to play from back in the day,
all the han and the lyrics and h.
Speaker 15: And so.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we just started playing these songs we hadn't
played together in twenty.
Speaker 1: Five years, and it still sounded great and we thought,
you know, maybe we've we should pursue this.
Speaker 6: And you know, so we had some ideas of original
songs and we started playing over those and ye went
to an open mic night and we'd give it a
bash and it went there really well.
Speaker 1: So we thought, well, you know, do you have do
you have an open mic night over there?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's very common here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah yeah.
Speaker 14: So we literally went into into my town and there
was like an open mic night and we went up
and just sort of played.
Speaker 1: We did a couple of songs.
Speaker 14: We played three songs, and then we sort of looked
at the fellaw who was comparing it, and just sort
of said, you know, should we do another one?
Speaker 1: And he just he just said, well, play as long
as you like.
Speaker 14: And we were like, oh, okay. So we realized then
that we obviously had something going on that people liked.
So that was where we sort of said, well, let's
give it another and five years later this is where
we are.
Speaker 10: Older, definitely older.
Speaker 1: Two albums in.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so on Singles Club, are any of these songs?
Are these new? Or do some of these go back,
like way way back?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 14: One of them, Yeah, one of the flowers goes way
way back. That goes right back to my old band,
which was called Just Another Girl, which is an old
Johnny Thunders song was that the band was named after.
Speaker 13: Okay, so yeah, that.
Speaker 1: Flowers goes right back to them. So that's the only
one we've kept.
Speaker 14: The rest of them are all sort of are all
new stuff that we've we've been putting together. So but
I mean, yeah, I mean, Spinning is spinning, Spinning is
very recent, Molly's very recent. Yeah, I mean most most
of them are now. They're literally in the last sort
of year or so. But as we said, we released
them as singles going through and now we're sort of
we're finding a way to repromote them and they're all
coming back through.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Oh that's awesome. Do you guys ever perform with other
musicians because obviously as an acoustic duo there's there's an
opportunity there to bring other people up up with you.
Or do you always keep it to just the two
of you?
Speaker 6: It's always, yeah, just the two of us actually, So
I mean that's part of our you know thing. It's
two two acoustic guitars and two voices really, so yeah,
we work hard at is trying to make that as
interesting as possible, you know, because we you know, as
I would say, we're like a live band, but we're
just you know, just two guitars, so we sort of
make it quite percussive and and you know, trying to
fill out the sound rather than it being that you know,
sort of stereotypical you know, strumming away and doing that.
So yeah, that we try and make that kind of
bring that energy to the acoustics side rather than you know,
bringing out other instruments.
Speaker 14: So yeah, we also like we we also we like
to involve the audience. I like to involve the audience.
We like to involve the audience a lot. We we've got.
Speaker 1: What's the what's the harmony in that they do? Oh
in in flowers, well in the song Flowers.
Speaker 14: When we play Flowers live, it's very strange because there's
about four or five people in the audience who've worked
out their own back in vocals for it, and I
always forgets. We played last night in a place called
Camberly and we were playing it and I'd forgotten that
that they do that. So we come into it and
when we it's like an acoustic bit for me and
literally they start with their woe woe woes in the background.
Speaker 1: You say, oh, it's just brilliant.
Speaker 14: And we have another song called one too Many, which
I think you've you've been sent. I'm not sure if
you played it, but it's one too Many, and we
do that as a call and response song. So basically, we,
as I said last night, we try and we don't
make it to it's not very it's not singing, it's
not there's nothing.
Speaker 1: Clever about it.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 1: I shout one too many, they shout one too many back.
Speaker 14: But but the way it works out, it's worked out
very nice because we can then we have if we
if we've got a reasonable audience that will will send
like we'll play the left hand side of the audience
off against the right hand side of the audience, which
is brilliant.
Speaker 1: It's brilliant fun.
Speaker 14: There's some videos on YouTube of that, actually videos of
YouTube snaking it on YouTube. We did one at the
Carlton Tavern and the promoter, Fella Tom Bright, actually filmed
it from behind us, so you can see the audience
shouting back at us, which is really good.
Speaker 1: And that's a really good idea. That gives you a
really good flavor of what we dove.
Speaker 17: That must be.
Speaker 13: That must be such a great feeling too. You know,
to have fans, you know, dedicated fans who you know
are well at one but you know, on one song
making up their own backing vocals, that's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 14: Well, the other thing, I mean, as you just played Spinning,
and we said when when When we first played Spinning,
we played it in a little pub in a little
place called Bracknell in Barkshit, and we started we started
playing and I always said it sounded like there should
be there should be a line dance for it or
something like that. But when we started playing it, there's
a couple that come and see us called Paul and Jenny.
And one of the first times we played it, Paul
literally just got up and started spinning in the chorus,
which which is as you say, it's amazing, and people
don't know the people that if we like last night,
we were supporting a band called three Times seven, so
their crowd were there. And because when Paul gets up
and start Paul and keV were both up spinning last night,
their their crowd can't really work out what's going on?
Why are these people suddenly? And that's what it's really good.
We play as well. We play in we do some
Saturday afternoon shows in HMV stores. Oh okay, so we
do them in record shops as well. And we did
one in Woking in Surrey a few weeks ago, and
Paul came and Paul's actually spinning through the aisles of
an HMV on Saturday afternoon, which which was quite quite
amusing for the shoppers.
Speaker 10: I promise you security not quite so impressive.
Speaker 13: Oh that's very cool, that's very cool. When you guys played,
I imagine, I mean you must have enough material to
play a long time, right, Like do you do multi
hour shows? You do long shows?
Speaker 1: We could do.
Speaker 14: I mean the thing is we do we do if
we just if we set up our own gigs and
we do our own shows. Then we do then we'll
do a long set, we'll do two sets. Yeah, we
do them when we can. Generally, as the hmvs are
about forty five minutes. If we get support slots like
last night, we've only got like half an hour.
Speaker 1: So as we said, we just do the bangers. Basically,
we do the ones that are going to get.
Speaker 14: People up, get people singing, and get people entertained, because
sometimes being an acoustic show, we sometimes get paired with.
Speaker 1: Quiet, nice acoustics.
Speaker 14: Sort of you know, you know, not what we're like
at all, and we are a little we do see
it as a little bit competitive where we will come out,
blow the place away, have everybody singing, and then all
of a sudden, someone's got to come up and play
something really quiet, which is what was it?
Speaker 10: A girl said, well, she apologized that she wasn't as
cheerful as us.
Speaker 14: We have The next girl that was on after us
in one of the London gigs came on and apologize
to the crowd that she wasn't going to be as
cheerful as we were.
Speaker 13: Oh that's funny, that's great.
Speaker 6: So when we do those in longer shows, because you know,
we've got quite a lot of material now, and you know,
obviously you always get excited about the newer stuff and
you want to play that.
Speaker 10: And there's always the odd song that we haven't done.
Speaker 6: In ages and someone says, oh, I love that song,
you should bring that back, and then we sort of
have to go back and go okay, So you know,
and that's the thing I think like with any music,
once it kind of is out there, it belongs. It
doesn't belong to us anymore. You know, we're just kind
of playing what people want to hear. Really, so that's
that's always quite nice because it's not always what you think,
because you can think, well, that's the one that people
will love, and actually they pick.
Speaker 10: Something else, which is you know, is always an interesting is.
Speaker 14: I was talking with Tom Bright again about that. Funny enough,
we were saying about right because I write the lyrics.
So we write lyrics, and you know, they they mean
things to me. But once you once they're out there
as far as once to me, and Tom were saying
that once they're once they're out there, they're literally that
other people will find their own meanings for them. So
I'm not precious about the meaning that I have, and
it will mean something different to other people. So on,
once they're out there there, there's there's different meanings they're
they're they're out there, there are other people as far
as I'm concerned.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well that makes sense. I mean, art is subjective
and everyone can kind of interpret, you know that art,
whether it be lyrics or anything else however they want.
I always it doesn't. This doesn't happen now, But I
remember being a kid, uh and uh not as uh,
you know, not understanding these concepts as well. And if
I if I thought a song, if I heard a
song that I really liked that I thought meant something specific.
It meant something specific to me, and then I read
an interview with that author, you know, whoever wrote the
lyrics or or or an author if it's a if
we're talking about instead of a song, about a book
or a poem or something, and then it turns out
that their intended meaning was different than what I thought
it meant, you know, to me the way I interpreted it,
I would actually be a little bit disappointed, like, oh
I thought it meant this.
Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely, yeah, So no, you should be allowed it's yours.
Speaker 14: You should be allowed to do your own it's up
to you, and saying that, you know, I'm sure I
still know songs that I sort of from various bands
over the years and stuff that you know, songs that
you're quite attached to. And now once you find out
you've been singing the wrong words, you know, sometimes you
can get that's not what I thought it was, and
now it's too late. I'm going to carry on singing
that because that's what I've been doing for hourver long.
Does that with his own song there You Go?
Speaker 1: Yes, very true, There you Go.
Speaker 13: By the way, what does the name mean, naked without It?
Where where does that come from?
Speaker 14: Well, I'll give that the very short version is that
Naked without It is a line.
Speaker 1: From a Jane's Addiction song.
Speaker 14: Okay, from the song Jane says by Jane's Addiction because yeah,
we put it together sort of like thirty odd years ago,
so that was out at the time, and that was
that I really like that song, so we stole like
the line naked without It from there.
Speaker 1: But Martin has a really good version as well.
Speaker 6: So really where it comes from is, as I say,
we were both playing in different bands at that time,
both like Full Electric bands, and so.
Speaker 1: We had this little duo.
Speaker 6: It was just two of us all stripped back, so
it was we were naked without all the other instrumentation,
and so that's really what's it. And with the Jane
and we were pretty exposed. Yeah, so yeah, and it
was you know, it was just ours two voices too,
same as it is now. And so yeah, so it
was quite exposing to do that. So that's the bands
we had we had before were allowed.
Speaker 14: As we said with the drummer that we had very
loud drummer and you know it was yeah, it was
a far more loud on someone. And then when we appeared,
it was just just us two with the acoustics, which
was yeah, it was good.
Speaker 13: No, that makes sense, that makes sense. Uh, this is
a little off subject. But I'm just curious because you
you did bring up Jane's addiction. Did either of you
guys ever get to see Jane's addiction before the implosion?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Said a still the original back in the day. Yeah, yeah,
I can always remember when did you ever get to
tet to see him?
Speaker 13: I never got to see them, and you know, when
all that happened in Boston. You know, Boston is only
about forty five minutes from where we are. Uh so
so so we were, we were close to it. But
but I know I never got to see Jane's Addiction live,
and it doesn't sound like I'll ever get the opportunity.
I don't think that. I don't think they'll be reuniting
again after you know, once a violent Yeah, yeah, now
I saw.
Speaker 14: I remember seeing them when they did. They used to
finish off the set. I remember doing Bricks and Academy.
They used to finish the set with them just playing
like drums across the front of the stage. There was
all four of them just playing. It must be on
YouTube with MS so yeah, see if you can find
out I come in what the song was. But it
was like it was finished just with like them playing
drums across the front. They were amazing, Like I think
that's part of Perry Farrell was just a lunatic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was great, as you said it saying about Boston.
I've never been to Boston. I've been New York.
Speaker 14: I've never been to Boston. I've always wanted to go
because I'm a massive drop Kick Murphy's fan. Okay, street Dogs,
everybody over that side down in Boston's amazing. I mean,
I think the the Murphy's at a bar as well,
didn't they with mcgreevy's or something, which I think shut now,
which is a shame, but yeah, pretty sure it's shut
in the pandemic. But yeah, I'd love to go there.
But yeah, big up the Murphy's.
Speaker 13: Yeah, no, great great city and and uh you know, we're,
like I said, we're we're just forty five minutes north.
We're we're the largest city north of Boston and New England.
But yeah, yeah, but yeah, great great music. Is actually
the hat that I'm wearing right now is a b
f raid as a Boston band. But yeah, yeah, we
get a lot of Boston guests on the show. But
I'd like to get Jane's addiction, but I don't think
it's happening.
Speaker 1: Ever.
Speaker 14: You might have to be careful with that'll be very
very very tendity that it's going to take some negotiating
that one.
Speaker 10: There's definitely a skype call that one.
Speaker 1: Separate rooms.
Speaker 13: Now are you guys playing on it? Sounds like you
guys play a lot of shows. Do you play a lot?
Speaker 10: I try to get out and do as much as
we can.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it's all I mean, you know,
as I'm sure it is over there. I mean, it's
a difficult time over here for live music.
Speaker 1: A lot of.
Speaker 6: Grassroots venues are disappearing and pandemic and that kind of thing.
So yeah, it is tough, but we try and you know,
just get out where we can and when we can,
and you know, just get out and see people. And
people are always, you know, still enjoy going to see
live music, and I think the less options they have
of places to go, the more they kind of.
Speaker 10: Make the effort appreciate it when they're there.
Speaker 1: It's going on.
Speaker 14: So it does tend to it tends to get a
little bit quiet in England now because it's once you'rehit
December and it's sort of like Christmas season. Everybody just
wants covers bands and party bands and things like that.
So we tend to have like a quieter December and
then go back out in January. It's just sort of
nobody wants. Nobody wants sort of original acoustic stuff at
the moment.
Speaker 1: But that's all right.
Speaker 14: We just use the time to record and promote and
work on everything else, so don't stop us.
Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely, and you did mention earlier too, So you're
already you've already started working on the next the next songs.
Are you going to do the same approach with these,
where you release them as singles that eventually become an album.
Speaker 1: No, we we've we've we're chucking around ideas at the moment.
Speaker 14: We're talking about doing again same thing, just setting ourselves
up for a problem.
Speaker 1: We're talking about four.
Speaker 14: EPs next year, so we're probably going to do for
three track EPs, uh once again once every three months. Yeah,
I don't want to set these ridiculousous thankes you.
Speaker 1: Work, Yeah it does.
Speaker 14: Yeah, but we're going to say yeah, So that's what
we're looking at the moment, and we have been toying.
We've calling it the twenty five eight okay, because twenty
four to seven would be too easy, so eight sounds.
Speaker 13: Better, gotcha, gotcha? No, I like the I like the
idea though of you know, with the EPs, it's kind
of a compromise right between the full album approach and
then the singles versus the singles that become a full album.
You know, that's kind of like a happy medium.
Speaker 1: What you're like, twelve songs we can stick on an album.
Speaker 13: Exactly exactly. Yeah, no, I think that's great.
Speaker 18: What should before?
Speaker 13: I let you guys go? And I appreciate it. You've
been generous with your time. We've kept you on for
a while and it's great to talk to you guys.
I love the songs, very very catchy, fun to sing
along to. What should people know? What should our listeners
know about how to find you online? To keep up
with everything that you're doing? Obviously hard for our America
listeners to get to a show, but you know, but
as you're releasing new music, and who knows, maybe you'll
maybe you'll come to the US at some point and
you'll get to see Boston. But what should our listeners
know about how to keep up with you guys online?
Speaker 1: So we start with that.
Speaker 14: You know, you set us up, we'll come. We'll set
us up, some gigs will come nowhere. It might cost
you a fly us out, but we'll.
Speaker 13: Come right right.
Speaker 1: We're really, We're really.
Speaker 14: You know, if ninety five point three you want to play,
and then that's fine, we'll do that. I'll run it
by the bus, keep playing in spinning, keep get get
him a little, give him too many drinks over Christmas?
Too many and funnily enough, one too Many is a
song by this brilliant band from England.
Speaker 13: That's true.
Speaker 14: Other than that, we are on all the socials, so
we are generally you can find us by searching at
NWY band.
Speaker 10: Result than just said starting any search with naked.
Speaker 14: If you get if you search naked, Naked without It
and singles club. Sometimes the search results aren't actually what
you want to look.
Speaker 1: At, right, But that's just one of them things. We
didn't plan that one very well, you see.
Speaker 14: But yeah, so Instagram is obviously Instagram, Instagram, dot Com,
Forward Slash, NWI band that same thing for x X's
NWI band on Facebook, so find us.
Speaker 6: On there and on all streaming sites as well. The
singles club is available, habits, Bright is available, everything is there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and band camp as well.

them on band camp if you want to do it
through that, or just contact us through the socials and

play one too Many to close out the hour, but
but we'll let uh, we'll let you guys. Are you
guys playing it all this weekend? Do you have anything
this weekend?
Speaker 1: We played last night.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we played last night at at a place in
in sorry called Camberly. We played at the Login Lounge,
which was really good. Went down really well. As I say,
they were they were spinning and they were dancing, so
that went really well.
Speaker 1: So when you play one too Many later, you need
to work out where your bit is.
Speaker 10: We did.
Speaker 14: We did a radio interview the other week and the
DJ was fading his own vocals up and down for
the for the response. So when you play that, when
I sing one too many, you better be singing one
too many back.
