And let's see who we 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,759 have on the line with us from the band. Hello, 4 00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:09,640 welcome to the show. 5 00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, this is Jenny. 6 00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 3: Hey Jenny. 7 00:00:14,199 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: We've got David here as well. 8 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:15,679 Speaker 4: Hi. 9 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,839 Speaker 3: Hey, welcome Jenny and David. 10 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: Uh. 11 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you heard right before the 12 00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:22,000 track I was commenting on. This is one of the 13 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,280 things I want to ask you about. It's it seems that, 14 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,920 so from what I could glean online, you function as 15 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,239 both a duo and a full band. 16 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 3: Is that correct? 17 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've actually got three So we've got a duo, 18 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,320 a full band with bass and drums, and we've got 19 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,399 a four piece acoustic setup as well. So yeah, we 20 00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:42,719 can become in all forms. 21 00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:45,439 Speaker 1: That's pretty cool because that gives you a lot of flexibility, 22 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,159 right in terms of where you can play and and uh, 23 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,399 because obviously different kinds of venues, different different audiences might 24 00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:56,520 require a different you know, a different vibe, And I mean, 25 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,200 is it is it confusing at all kind of managing 26 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,439 these different versions the band or does does all the 27 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,280 music kind of convert to whatever configuration you're playing in 28 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:04,920 pretty easily? 29 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: Thankfully? Now, it kind of converts quite easily. It took 30 00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,959 a little bit of work at the start. Yeah. On 31 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,040 the website, we always make sure it's clear whether what 32 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,560 type of band you're going to see rights, just because 33 00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:20,560 if you particularly like the full band, we will make 34 00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:22,359 sure that you are coming to a full band gig, 35 00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:24,799 and if you particularly like the acoustic set, that you're 36 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,480 coming down to see the acoustic stuff. But yeah, it 37 00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:30,560 takes a bit of work, especially with some of the 38 00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,359 guitar solos and things. We have to rework the song 39 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,120 format to make it work for all the different variations. Yeah, 40 00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:41,200 but it's really good and it keeps us on our toes. 41 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,519 Speaker 1: Okay, So I assume three times seven started with the 42 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,159 two of you. You're the you're obviously the core right 43 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:47,959 of the band. 44 00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's Yeah. We've been playing together for about 45 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,760 sort of like eight nine years now. Oh okay, and 46 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,680 then I used to joke that we're called three times 47 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:05,159 seven because we had a twenty one honoring members, that. 48 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,519 Speaker 3: That would be quite the configuration. 49 00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:10,439 Speaker 4: Supergroup and half yeah on speed up. 50 00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: Well, okay, so let's well, since you refer to it, 51 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,240 let's get to the obvious question. 52 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: I'm sure this is. 53 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,159 Speaker 1: You're probably tired of answering it because you probably get 54 00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:20,680 asked us in every interview it is the most obvious question, 55 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:21,800 But what what does the name mean? 56 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,039 Speaker 2: So officially, it's from a song called Tippetina, which is 57 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,479 a New Orleans jazz standard, and in a line that 58 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,360 says she was three times seven baby, And at the time, 59 00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:38,199 I was in my early twenties, and it felt pretty 60 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,719 cool and we were like, oh, it's all right, that'll do. 61 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,479 We'll change it later. And then it's now later and 62 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,199 obviously we haven't changed it. Yeah, it's also the cards. 63 00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:51,800 It's the best age for whiskey. 64 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just now. 65 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,159 Speaker 2: Yeah. 66 00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,439 Speaker 1: No, it's cool, and you know, it makes people curious, obviously, 67 00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:00,800 it gives it gives you something to talk about, you know, 68 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,800 where the name comes from. 69 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 3: I'm curious. 70 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: Does anyone ever approach you and ask you, like, does 71 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,159 anyone ever kind of know have an inkling? Maybe they're 72 00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:11,479 maybe they're familiar with that song, maybe they you know, 73 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,719 maybe they love jazz, maybe they're from New Orleans and 74 00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:16,039 they and they say to you, hey, does the name 75 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,520 come from this? And they kind of know what it is? 76 00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:19,439 Does that ever happen? 77 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,319 Speaker 2: No, no, never happened, but it would be quite amusing 78 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,439 if it did. Yeah, but yeah, you people go, oh, okay, 79 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,319 yes I've heard that song or I haven't even heard 80 00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:30,280 that song before. 81 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:34,719 Speaker 1: Right, right, right, So now in terms of recording, so 82 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,599 is the full band obviously a song like Wait, that's 83 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,479 that's everybody in the band, right, that's the full Uh, 84 00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:42,759 that's everybody who's involved on that record. 85 00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: We had Haley and Steve join us as well, so 86 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,599 they are from a band called Futurism, okay, and they 87 00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:53,520 join us occasionally to do some harmony work. And when 88 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,120 we get them involved as well, then we've basically become 89 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,000 a little supergroup so that we we can do all 90 00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,639 the harmonies, which is really fun. But yes, everyone was 91 00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:02,479 involved in Wait. 92 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's really cool And is that your approach 93 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,919 with all? Because we're also going to play at the 94 00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:12,680 end of our conversation because obviously I like to bookend 95 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,199 the interviews with your music. So at the end we're 96 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,040 going to play Big Train, which is another great track 97 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:19,600 and I love the video by the way, the video 98 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,319 is really cool. 99 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: That was really fun. 100 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 4: Yes, that's without Hade and Steve Weban. Our latest album 101 00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:30,199 released silber Linings. We've got tracks from there which are 102 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,519 basically just Jenny and I with a little bit of piano. 103 00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:35,680 Oh and we have other tracks from there which I've 104 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,879 got an Italian horn section on one track, I've got 105 00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:45,319 Turkish violinist on another. So yeah, it's very much a 106 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,839 collaboration of friends. 107 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: And Okay, okay, Now, how do you describe your music? 108 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,040 Because you know, obviously I can hear a lot of 109 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680 different influences in there. You know, there's some blues, there's 110 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,360 some jazz. I mean, it sounds and if I didn't know, 111 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,680 and I hope you don't take this wrong, but if 112 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,279 I didn't know where you were from, I would assume 113 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,480 you were an American band, because you remind me of 114 00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:11,720 a lot of you know, especially out of the American 115 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:13,920 South from a certain time period, music that would come 116 00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:16,319 from there. I mean, how do you how do you 117 00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:19,600 describe your music? Everyone always hates this question, but how 118 00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,560 do you describe your music and what kinds of influences 119 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,600 go into what you're doing? 120 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 4: Well, I think I think that's the main thing we play. 121 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:30,120 We started off as very much primarily a blues band, 122 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,079 and I do believe you can't play blues unless you 123 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,839 go to the heart blue. So we did a little 124 00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:39,199 tour down from Chicago. We were from Louisville, Kentucky, Memphis, 125 00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:43,360 Nashville all the way down to New Orleans and we 126 00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:45,439 made it down to New Orleans for Halloween as well. 127 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,360 Oh wow, which was a hell of an experience and 128 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,920 I can imagine all that definitely Influencedtyle music. Alle Jenny 129 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:56,800 is a massive fan of John Cleary, who is the 130 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:01,079 hit of the Kentish British boy who went to New 131 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,519 Orleans and never came back, which. 132 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,399 Speaker 2: A note in my heart because New Orleans is like 133 00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:09,279 it's awesome, Like we had such a good time on 134 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,600 that trip. But we also have other influences as well, 135 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:17,240 other than blues. We've got funk, soul rock, like all 136 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,879 of the things that we grew up with and the 137 00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:23,560 music that we discovered, like it all lives in our 138 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,360 music as well. It all comes through. So I think 139 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,839 if I was to describe it, it's funky, solely bluesy tunes. 140 00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 4: Like every year we make we make it a habit 141 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,040 to go and see maybe Staples when she comes around. 142 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,600 I love brilliant. She plays a beautiful venue in Lander 143 00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:49,360 called the Union Chapel, and she always says, we need 144 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,439 you should leave here feeling better than you when you arrived. 145 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,879 So I would say our style music is positivity. Basically, 146 00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:57,519 it's just making you feel better. 147 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: Now, that's interesting because I saw so I was doing 148 00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:03,120 a little bit of research and I don't know which 149 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,319 one of you said this, but one of you said 150 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:08,959 something about approving that brew that blues is not the 151 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,199 original emo. 152 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 4: That was oh basis of mine when I first first 153 00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:19,279 formed this bower Jenny Oh, he said, why would you 154 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,079 want to play blues because it's just that was just 155 00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:23,319 the originally my music. 156 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, that's a that's a strange comment for a 157 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,040 couple of different reasons. 158 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,079 Speaker 3: But well, so now so you no longer work with 159 00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:34,160 that bass player, right. 160 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,079 Speaker 4: No, No, I don't know. He's he's retired and lives 161 00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:39,560 in a white picket fence with his family and went 162 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,399 away from the music scene, as he should be, right. 163 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,199 Speaker 1: Right, I assume he's not listening to blues because it 164 00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:50,920 sounds like it depresses him. So you're but but so 165 00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:52,519 you're on a mission to prove that it's not that. 166 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,959 Obviously I've never although I don't know why you would 167 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,680 have to prove that, because I've never heard other than him, 168 00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:00,160 I've never heard anyone say that to begin it. 169 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,079 Speaker 3: That's really interesting. 170 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:04,079 Speaker 4: Well, you've got the whole thing. I'm feeling blue, isn't it? 171 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: So? Oh? 172 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: Blues music must be just sad. It's all about beings there. Yeah, 173 00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:10,000 And I was brought up on a BB King and 174 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,879 Buddy guy. You know, she's a sweet little angel, always 175 00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:14,600 spread her wings for me. Let me tell you, there's 176 00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:15,600 nothing sad about that. 177 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,519 Speaker 3: There you go, there you go? Absolutely. 178 00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:24,079 Speaker 1: How much How much music do you have in terms 179 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,160 of original songs that you have released as a as 180 00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:31,800 a band, or or as a duo or any configuration. 181 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,600 Do you have a lot of music that you've put 182 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,320 out over the past, Because you said it's it's been 183 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,120 almost a decade, right that you've been together. 184 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,759 Speaker 4: You've got We've got about three albums, two EPs, and 185 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,519 a few singles out on Spotify and a new. 186 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,799 Speaker 2: A new set of four tracks coming out end of 187 00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:54,480 this month.

Okay, we've only ever 188 00:08:54,799 --> 00:09:00,000 recorded and released one cover, which is I'd Rather Go Blind, 189 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,799 And everything else on all of our recordings is original. 190 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,879 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, excellent, And what's the process, like in terms 191 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,360 of writing, do the two of you write together or 192 00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:12,240 how does that work? And again I assume the I 193 00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:14,559 assume the core of the songwriting and the band is 194 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,759 the two of you, but maybe not so tell me 195 00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:18,559 about it very much. 196 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 4: So so I'm quite often I'll come up with an idea. 197 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:26,679 I'm a big fan turning sort of like bad things 198 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,879 on their head. I remember when we were in Chicago, 199 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,440 it absolutely rained down, and we were in the Museum 200 00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:34,480 of Chicago sort of learning about the history of it, 201 00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:37,600 having a couple of tea in the cafe, and Jenny 202 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,559 just wrote down and I hate it when it ranged 203 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,480 in Chicago because it was really loud and we could 204 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,080 rely speak to each other. And I thought, no, I 205 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,960 like it when it range in Chicago, and so I 206 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,120 wrote this entire song about how you know, actually it's 207 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,360 great when it range in Chicago and yeah, but we're 208 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,200 dancing around in the street, and. 209 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: We still kept some elements of the like the original 210 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,519 real bluesy world where the rain is so it's soaking 211 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,519 through my feet, absolutely drenched, like I couldn't be anyware 212 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,120 if I dried, And so there's still some elements of 213 00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:11,799 that in in rain in Chicago, which is a really 214 00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:14,440 upbeat track that everyone loves to sing along with now So, 215 00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:15,600 which is lovely. 216 00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,799 Speaker 4: Yes, it's basically taking I always think that there's a 217 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,639 good good to find in every situation really for the 218 00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:26,039 most part. Yeah, absolutely, it's all that making people feel good. 219 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,919 Like we have another song, Money to Burn, which I 220 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,600 think Jenny did most of the lyrics on, which was 221 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:34,879 all basically about you know, I should have a ton 222 00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:37,080 of cash to go out and spend on someone and 223 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:40,039 have a really good time, but I don't. But it's 224 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,559 okay because we're going to go out and have a 225 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,320 good time anyway, even though we should be. 226 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: You know, it's a nice restaurant champagne that. 227 00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:48,639 Speaker 4: Even if we can't do that, it's still going to 228 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,440 be good and maybe one day we will and it'll 229 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:50,879 be fine. 230 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,919 Speaker 1: Yeah right, No, that's very cool, very cool. Yeah, I 231 00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:56,799 get the impression. You know, there seems to be a 232 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,360 lot of positivity in your music. Are there is there 233 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,360 anyone else where you're from who is doing what you do? 234 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,039 Because like I said, you know, I hear so many 235 00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:10,879 American influences in your music, and obviously, you know, music 236 00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:13,399 from the UK in the past has been a tremendous 237 00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:16,759 influence on American music obviously, but I'm curious, like, who 238 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,720 is there anyone else in your area who's kind of 239 00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:23,159 doing what you're doing and with this particular mix of influences, 240 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,399 is there anybody we should know about from over there who's. 241 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 4: There's a lot of purists in funk purists and blues purists, 242 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,159 and we get on well with all of them, yeah, 243 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,120 and in the same bill as all of them. But 244 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,279 I haven't really met anyone who's quite doing it the 245 00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:39,039 way that we do it. 246 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, there are some full bands locally to hear though. 247 00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:45,840 We're very lucky that we get to play alongside some really, 248 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,440 really good musicians on a regular basis. There's a band 249 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,159 called Twin two Weeks in Nashville. They're very good.

They've got this lovely, beautiful singing voice, unbelievable. 256 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,039 But yeah, I wouldn't say there's many people that do 257 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,320 what we do. 258 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I always think that that's that's our biggest strength 259 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,360 was the fact that you know, I will take in general, 260 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,559 take inspiration from anywhere. We're not so that we do 261 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:35,519 a really fun version of Sledgehammered by Peter Gabriel, which 262 00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:38,039 we try and do in the sort of there's a 263 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,879 band called the Brand New Heavies.

And I still think that's my favorite. 273 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,879 Speaker 1: You know, I have a memory, by the way of 274 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,559 when when I was a kid, my mother sitting there 275 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,799 with her walkman and and her headphones on and just 276 00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,000 listening to Sledgehammer over and over. 277 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 3: She loved it so much. 278 00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:24,159 Speaker 2: It's a really good tune and it's got lots of 279 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,279 different parts, which is what makes it so fun, and 280 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,399 you can really play with the timings and pull on things, 281 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,720 and yeah, it's it's a it's a really fun song 282 00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:33,279 to play. 283 00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:35,399 Speaker 1: Is there a studio version of that that you've done 284 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,559 or do you only do that live? 285 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 4: I know it's that's all your life.

As we said, we're quite positive. 299 00:14:18,279 --> 00:14:21,600 So when we do sad songs, they really do hit. 300 00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:24,519 And I remember we were doing this tiny gig in 301 00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:27,279 this little pub in Susson and there was a woman 302 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,679 at the bar who came up to us at the 303 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:31,759 end and was, as she goes, I heard you play 304 00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:34,600 that song. I've just gone through a divorce and this 305 00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:36,320 is the first time I've actually cried. 306 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: And she was in a state. I gave her a 307 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,000 big hug and like, She's like, I just I felt 308 00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:44,759 like I needed to have a release and this this 309 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,039 was that moment, and it was. It was really beautiful 310 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,480 and it really touched us how emotional people got over 311 00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:52,960 this particular song. We played it a couple of times. 312 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720 I've had people in tears and it was it was 313 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,639 It's a beautiful feeling. It's a really hard feeling as 314 00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:00,840 a singer because I just want to with a big cuddle. 315 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,840 But it really does. It speaks. It's it's quite vocal, 316 00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:09,240 it's quite loud in the way that it's emotive. 317 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,639 Speaker 4: And again we've kind of mashed it up a little bit. 318 00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:13,639 So the original song is just a two chord song, 319 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,960 but I pulled in a couple of sort of like 320 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,399 hints from Hallelujah. So it'll starts off and so everyone's like, oh, 321 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,240 this is going to be you know, Jeff Buckby like 322 00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:25,799 equible song there, and then breaks into I'd Rather Go 323 00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:28,240 Blind and it kind of really hits on that big 324 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,000 emotional level. 325 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh wow, I'll have to listen to that interesting. 326 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,679 Speaker 2: Live. We always say, right, we're gonna do a sad 327 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,519 song and then I promise you a happy song after 328 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:48,799 back up again, because it's what yeah. 329 00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:47,639 Speaker 1: In terms of being you know, we were talking about 330 00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:50,240 how you stand out and you're scene right because there's 331 00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:52,120 nobody else kind of doing what you're doing in this 332 00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,679 mix of influences, and you know, you've got the purists 333 00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:58,600 who uh maybe uh, you know, wouldn't wouldn't. 334 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,519 Speaker 3: Dare do what you're doing. But does that do you 335 00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:02,960 find that that's an advantage for you? 336 00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: From my vantage point, just getting to know, just getting 337 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,559 familiar with the project, it seems like that's a big 338 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,159 advantage because you know, everything is so there's so much 339 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,039 there's so much noise to cut through. So if you 340 00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:17,200 can do something that makes you stand out, I think 341 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,720 it's an advantage, you know. But the other side of 342 00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:21,879 that being maybe you have some people who are like, 343 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,799 oh no, I don't understand how to Some people can't 344 00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:27,240 deal with not being able to categorize things. You know, 345 00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:29,480 a lot of people in the industry they have to 346 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,039 be able to categorize things, and that happens in radio too. 347 00:16:32,039 --> 00:16:34,200 With radio formats. But do you think it's Do you 348 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,600 think it's an advantage though, to be able to stand out. 349 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:43,039 Speaker 4: I think live brilliant, fantastic because we're not We're definitely 350 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,519 not playing the same song over and over and over again. Yeah, 351 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,519 with variety, the ability to change the lineup as quickly 352 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:51,679 as we do different things means we can never turn 353 00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:53,840 you know, I'm not turning down gigs. If I go 354 00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:55,879 up to a place and they're like, we can afford 355 00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:57,960 to keep you half of that, I can offer them 356 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,480 half the bands. You know, it's right. That's really good. 357 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,759 But when it comes to things like radio play, when 358 00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:05,640 it comes to put the things on playlists and things, 359 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,039 because all of our songs are so different, it means 360 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:12,160 that I can show them one song and they'll be like, hey, 361 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,200 that's brilliant. Have you got anything else like this? 362 00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:21,279 Speaker 2: No, we've now started finding like sister songs. So there 363 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,599 are a couple of songs that if you particularly like 364 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,319 our song Shiver, you're quite likely to like Still Dawn, 365 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,279 for example, because they're a bit rockier. But it's it's 366 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,400 quite nice to be a mixed bag. It means that 367 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,000 we can fit in with everyone. But sometimes if we're 368 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,079 going to apply for like a blues festival, for example. 369 00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:46,359 It's very difficult because we're not straight blues. It's a 370 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,359 bit more straight blues, and so it's a bluesy rock 371 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,319 song or it's a bluesy soul song, but it's still 372 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,759 got the influences there. So sometimes it's a detriment. But 373 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,279 if we do get on the playlist, it's lovely because 374 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,200 we then can do something that's slightly different and you know, 375 00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:07,640 if you're listening to blues all day, which is lovely 376 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,640 and I love blues, it's quite nice to have something 377 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,720 that's bluesy rather than just straight twelve bar. It's something 378 00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:17,200 that's a little bit more, a little something for you 379 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,400 is to chew on if you like. 380 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,799 Speaker 3: Right right, absolutely. I read something too about do you 381 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,240 have a tour coming up in September Europe? 382 00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, so not this September, but next September. We are 383 00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:35,519 going back to Europe for our third third go round. 384 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,440 It's really good fun. I love touring Europe. Last time 385 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,240 we've got to play some very fun shows, including a 386 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,519 couple of prisons. Just aside of Frankfurt, I think Johnny 387 00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:48,200 Cash or End of the Blues brothers. So they did 388 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,599 get up and dance. It was good fun. 389 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, and Johnny Cash of course you have 390 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,559 awesome prison blues yep. 391 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: Oh yes, that was really interesting. So we were there 392 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,279 as a reward basically for those people who got merits, 393 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,759 which is that they use within Europe. So the prisoners 394 00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:08,200 that were able to attend had to have been on 395 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,440 best behaviors basically, and they had to be approved by 396 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,319 the person who runs the prison, and then they had 397 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,920 to write a letter to say why they wanted to attend, 398 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,079 and then that got further approved. So the people that 399 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,160 actually ended up in the room with us whilst we 400 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,079 were playing the music, these guys haven't heard music for ages. 401 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,000 They haven't even had a rape, like, so they're so 402 00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:31,559 excited about live music. And then afterwards we spent about 403 00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:34,440 an hour with them just talking about fans who they'd 404 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,279 didn't play live, what instruments they used to play, They 405 00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:41,839 they were so they were so up they were It 406 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,079 was such a lovely, lovely experience. It's a bizarre experience, 407 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:45,440 which is. 408 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 4: Great because when I first heard reward, I thought I 409 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,599 thought they'd suffered enough of called them they were our 410 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,640 most captive audience. 411 00:19:56,079 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 3: That's perfect, that's awesome. Yeah, how many bands can say 412 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,200 that that they've played that kind of show. That's that's 413 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,559 really cool, that's really cool. 414 00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:07,079 Speaker 2: I would do it again though. It was absolutely amazing. 415 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 4: Really, the next tour we will be going through a 416 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,599 couple of again. 417 00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great. That's great. 418 00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:16,759 Speaker 1: By the way, so you said that, and now the 419 00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:19,440 European tour is not this September, but next September. 420 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 4: Neke September twenty twenty six. 421 00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so you're you're planning. You're playing pretty far ahead, 422 00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:27,200 which is great because most musicians are not good at 423 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,079 long term planning. 424 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: But it's an expensive endeavor and with us, we all 425 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,559 the money we make from playing live goes into the band, 426 00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:38,839 So it takes us a little while to save up 427 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,440 for a toll because by the time you've got hotels 428 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,559 and ferries and all the other things that we need, 429 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,880 it is quite an expensive trip. But it's so worth 430 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,279 it for meeting the people playing in these wonderful venues 431 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,119 like and just having some time as a band together. 432 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,880 It's really it's it's worth it. But yeah, it does 433 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,079 take us a little while to save up. 434 00:20:57,279 --> 00:20:58,799 Speaker 3: Yeah. 435 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, Also, I don't just like in the US, but 436 00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:05,480 in the UK festivals will be booking for summer twenty 437 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,559 twenty six in October. Pubs will be fully booked up 438 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,079 by the end of December for the next year. So 439 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,000 you have to be really, really on it otherwise you're 440 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,160 picking up the scraps unfortunately. 441 00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:22,319 Speaker 1: Right, And that's the same everywhere in the In the US, festivals, yeah, 442 00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:26,160 they're they're planning, you know, way in advance. It's funny 443 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,920 that that comes up because we had talked about We 444 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,359 do a lot of music industry news on the show too, 445 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,079 and there was I forget what it was called, but 446 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,079 there was a country music festival here that had to 447 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,279 be canceled kind of at the last minute. They were 448 00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:42,160 refunding tickets because they tried to do this. They tried 449 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,160 to put together this big festival with only three months 450 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,079 of lead time, and it got to be it got 451 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,279 to be like three weeks before before showtime, and they 452 00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:57,000 started refunding everybody's tickets because you know, they just couldn't 453 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,880 do it. So, yeah, festivals take a tremendous launch term planning, 454 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,680 and things even still go wrong. But but yeah, if 455 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,240 you get if you get out and play festivals. 456 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 3: That's great. 457 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,039 Speaker 4: Well, it's funny you mentioned that.
