right here on Matt Connorton Unleashed on WMNH ninety five
point three FM. Oh, by the way, congratulations on your trip. Yes, yes,
you were in Washington, DC recently.
Speaker 6: So I was in Washington, d C.
Speaker 7: I was an invited guest to the White House Medical
Debt event, and I'm happy to say that it has
now been made legal for medical debts to show up on.
Speaker 6: Your credit report.
Speaker 5: Oh excellent.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so they're going after that, and they're also going
after hospitals or nonprofits that aren't giving care that they
should be. Yeah, because do you know that free care
is required by law, not something the hospital does out
of the kindness of its art, right, I did not.
I learned that this weekend as well. It was an
amazing trip. I got to see the Indian Treaty Room,
which is an incredible space built in the eighteen hundreds.
It's like walking around on Mediterranean tile on the floor.
It's just it's just an a amazing space. I was
very honored to be there, and I'd be happy to
tell you more about it if you go to Gencoffee
dot com.
Speaker 6: J E N N C O f e y dot com.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, very good. Well, we've got a couple of
guys in studio with us who have been here before.
We have two thirds of the band. Abel Blood is here.
Hey guys, welcome, Hey Matty, how's it going good?
Speaker 1: Good? Hey?
Speaker 5: Why don't you each tell us who you are, what
you do in the band, and then uh, and then
we'll mention uh, your your your third partner who was
not able to make it this morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, spontaneously combusted last night.
Speaker 5: That's all. Like the drummer for yeah, wow, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't seen him since like eleven PM. Uh huh,
all right, I'm Adam, I'm the guitar slash bass player. Uh.
And I do the lead vocals, yes, yes, and you, sir,
Jim de Luca played drums very good.
Speaker 5: So what now now? So before he combusts and what
did what a mouth?
Speaker 1: Well, he also played guitar and bass duties.
Speaker 5: That's right. Yeah, you guys do like a trade off
we we have.
Speaker 1: We use aby y splitters, yeah, and we run our
guitars into bass amps. That's right.
Speaker 5: I remember we talked about that last time and I
was fast by that.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: That gives you yeah, that part of what really I
think kind of gives you your sound, your signature.
Speaker 1: It creates quite a wall.
Speaker 5: Yeah, very cool. We're gonna play one of your songs
in a in a couple of minutes. But we should
mention too now. Uh, you know because on uh on Tuesday,
I met with Eleanor at the Midnight Creatives Collective and
uh in Nashua and Terminus is there, and I know
you guys are playing there coming up and you've also
you're now in the building right you're.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're our rehearsal space is just a couple of
doors down the same hallway. Yeah. We love Andrea and
and Eleanor. They're they're great, great for the scene.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah, they're doing a lot. I'm gonna be I
don't know if you know this about me. I'm a
hypnotherapist and I'm gonna be actually doing sessions there in
the business bar Mondays and Tuesdays now at.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so very excited.
Speaker 1: Were on Tuesday evenings, so I might come in for
a oh there you go, Yeah, yeah, it'll be fun.
There you go.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Well why don't we play? So we talked about
playing reflections, so we can give this a spin and
then we'll come back and we'll talk and catch up
with everything. You guys are doing. But this is from
Arrival of the Waves. The this is the current album, right,
the newest album. And yeah, and this is an instrumental,
which is cool because this will really give people an
idea of of your sound in terms of you know,
like you were saying, the low end and everything. So
let's give this a spin and then we'll come back
and talk with these guys. This is called Reflections and
the band is able Blood. Whoops, And it would help if.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 3: Let's again.
Speaker 1: In the.
Speaker 3: N No.
Speaker 1: That is so cool.
Speaker 5: That's got a nice groove to it. That is able Blood.
The track is called Reflections and it's from the album
Arrival of the Waves. And if you're just joining us
on this Saturday morning here on Matt connorton Unleashed, we
have two thirds of able Blood here with us alive
in studio. And yeah, you guys were kind of talking
off here about how that track came about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really strange. I mean, I think it
was in the middle of the winter, right, it was
really cold, and our old bass player, this was before
the days of Malcolm had to run in the house
for something and all of a sudden I just came
up with that opening riff, Yeah, and Jimmy just started
playing in the drums to it, and literally Ben was
gone for five minutes and by the time we get back,
we had all the parts like written to it, and
then we're just like, I think by the end of
that jam, we had what was the most part this
whole song, Yeah, for the most part, and like we
had decided right then and there, like no lyrics, We're
just going to do this as an instrumental, and it
was just like it was one of those magical moments
as a musician, you know what I mean, Like sometimes
people are like, you know, this, like the the best
songs ever written usually come really quickly. Yeah, And yeah
to me, I mean, that's probably my favorite song on
that album and it came within minutes.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Is that your only instrumental?
Speaker 1: We have one on our first album called Unknown Variant,
which I love that one too, But yeah, we've got
two instrumentals right now. We're not opposed to writing a
ton more of them. Yeah, we kind of love it's
just like that Jammy feel that we do. So yeah,
I think you know, in the future more will come. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Are you guys working on anything nude? I mean, do
you have a new material your planning to record, had.
Speaker 1: Some new songs. I think we're planning to take the
winter off from gigging and uh because we've been just
cranking busy all summer doing shows and uh yeah, I
think we're just gonna sit down and focus on getting
some new material. We do have one song that we've
nearly completed, and once you can ask the guys in
the bands once, once we get into a groove, I
write songs like like quick. So yeah, we won't have
any any problem putting some new material together over the winter.
And I think we're considering re re recording our first
album really yep, so we may end up doing that
this winter itself. I think we could. We love the
the studio we've done both albums at. I think it
was it was the production on it and being that
it was our first album, we were we were like,
you know, like, let's just let's just do it and
release it, and we could have taken our time a
little bit more are on on certain things, and I
think I've basically rewritten the songs since we've recorded them. Yeah,
this is what always happens, because I mean, you're really
only getting a snapshot in time. Sure, when you do
record an album. So the songs have evolved since then
and stuff, and I think they sound a lot better now.
Speaker 8: So I mean the tempos have changed, yea dramatically. Yeah,
but the way we play him now versus when we recorded.
Speaker 5: That, Okay, Yeah, I would imagine these songs too. I
mean they must change live when you play.
Speaker 1: Them, they do, they must change. I don't play, I
don't play needs to live the same way as we
recorded it a year ago. Yeah, yeah, they And I
think that's the way they should be, and like songs
should be.
Speaker 5: They're living things, right right, they should be able to Yeah,
yeah absolutely. Where So where do you guys record? Like
where was the Rival of the Waves?
Speaker 1: We recorded that at loud Sun Studios down over in Jeffrey.
Ben Rodgers recorded that for us. He's amazing. Yeah, he's excellent,
excellent recording. We did master it at Blackheart Sound. Yeah.
Eric's got a great reputation and yeah, yeah, he treats
everybody so cool.
Speaker 5: So we had him on the show a few months ago,
and uh, we've been trying to get him on because
you know, his name comes up all the time on
the show.
Speaker 1: So it was cool to finally have him super busy.
Everybody loves what his recording absolutely, yeah, I mean he
knows what he's doing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, he's he's fascinating to talk to too,
but yeah, very very knowledgeable. And then so the the
other album that's the other one that's on band camp,
was that also recorded in the same place.
Speaker 1: Same place? Okay, yep. I was in a cowpunkish type
of band about ten fifteen years ago. Yeah, and I
was introduced to Ben through them. We did a little EP,
did like four songs back then, and uh loved the experience.
So I've never recorded with anybody else.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh interesting, Yeah, yeah, I really like him. Yeah,
and uh so live is it the configuration that you
guys playing, Because you know we were we were talking earlier,
you alluded to, well, you have a unique setup.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is a unique setup, and I won't get
two into the weeds with it, but we we I
basically I plug my my my guitar into a splitter,
and I split one into my into my guitar board,
and I split the other signal into a bass amp.
And it's a little bit of other things going on
in between.
Speaker 5: But you've probably.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got octave pedal that will take down I
think it's two octaves that I bring down the guitar
when it goes into the bass amp and so it's
just all low end from that. And Malcolm does the
same thing. So basically what we we do, we basically
have two bass players because we played different things in
the songs too, So the bass lines are they're in
the same key, but they're intermingling with each other, but
they're not. We don't play the same bass lines, so
it just creates this huge wall of sound. Ship is
so fun. And when you're up there and you just
you can close your eyes while you're playing on Jimmy
does That's what how he plays is with his eyes closed,
kind of just wash over you. And yeah, it's it's yeah,
and and I can't you just turn the amp up
as loud as it'll go before it blows your ear
drums and and just let it do its thing. Yeah,
and it just yeah, it feels really really good.
Speaker 8: We get so many compliments. People come up to us
at live shows like what do you do? How are
you guys doing that? Yeah, that sounds amazing.
Speaker 5: I can imagine does anybody else do it that way.
Speaker 1: There's a been treding Tombstones that does the same setup.
There's a pretty well known band, Telekinetic Getty okay, okay,
who is playing Tuesday night at Jewel. We get to Actually,
we're opening for him. They were the inspiration for how
we do what we do, so it's gonna be kind
of a full circle moment for us. You open up
to them. Now we get to open for him, so
that'll be really fun. There are two piece they're out
of Iowa.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The people all over the country are doing this interesting.
Speaker 5: Did it take some getting used to Yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The first show we played, we had lost our
bass player, like just a couple of weeks before that. Oh,
so I didn't know what the heck I was doing,
and you know, trying to get all the right buttons
and getting the bas to click in when I wanted
to click in and stuff. It was a learning process. Yeah,
I feel like I've got it down pretty good now.
It's been a year all over a year of doing
it and but it's fun, like trying to trying to
remember which pedal to hit, what I ever been singing,
and you know, and then you get the crowd looking
at you and everything. So there's a lot kind of
going on. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 5: And even if something goes wrong, it's original music, so
you know, the audience doesn't have to know or no,
or maybe or maybe there's even a happy accident.
Speaker 1: Drummer doesn't even know. Like we played last night and
I was screwing up all over like that was the
best that we've ever played. Yeah, yeah, I even can
fool him.
Speaker 5: That's fantastic. So you guys have been busy out of
busy summer you play, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I played a lot. We were down in Maryland. They
had a big doom fest down there's fifty three bands.
We got to open the whole festival.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was a blast awesome. Yeah, it's the Maryland
doom Fest.
Speaker 5: I've never even heard of it.
Speaker 8: Oh, fifty three bands, Yeah, from all over the world.
It was fantastic. Tenth year they've done it.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, where Maryland is Frederick, Frederick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's like an hour from Baltimore, Okay. Yeah,
and uh it was bands from Washington State, it was
bands from Ireland that came. I mean, just absolutely amazing
experience and it was like a family there, Like as
soon as I walked in and they started talking to
all the other bands, like, I felt like I was
at home. Yeah, because doom isn't there's a doom bands
around here, but it's it's not. It doesn't feel like
it's as popular in New England as it is in
other places, you know. So when I got to go out,
all of us got to go out and explore, you know,
a different region of the country and see all these
people come together from everywhere and we're all like, oh,
this is this is our family. Yeah, you know, it
felt it felt awesome. Oh cool cool.
Speaker 5: By the way, So do describe that if you could,
for for listeners who don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1: When yes, it's I kind of from a thousand foot
view would say, it's just it's heavy metal, but it's
slowed way down and you know, we get some really
heavy rests. Now we're really psychedelic influence too, Like I'm
a big Pink Floyd Yeah fan and sixty psych so
we throw a lot of that in. But yeah, I
mean do them. I mean essentially that's what it is.
It's like, just get the heaviest rifts you can come
up with, slow them way down. No, that's a good
that's a good description of it. You think like Sabbath,
like Sabbath started at all, you know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, so we we kind of take bits of
Sabbath and bits of Pink Floyd and kind of mesh
them together at times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of other bands mixed in that, you know.
That's what those are the two bands I think that
most people would release, right right.
Speaker 5: Well, we should play another track, what I know, we
talked about it earlier. You guys had a couple of
songs in mind.
Speaker 1: But you need to live to do that? One needs
to live would be a good one.
Speaker 5: Well, do needs to live? All right? If you are
just joining us, we have able Blood with us live
in studio on this Saturday morning here and yeah. This
is from the album Arrival of the Waves from able Blood.
This is called needs to Live.
Speaker 3: A little man selling tarlets all the hour shore What
a way to take lot of the.
Speaker 2: Don the five or.
Speaker 3: Make a tois fellow follow his child? Don't you follow
the water? Two? It pass four? It face only your
one shower? Do you think about?
Speaker 1: Do you ever by? Oh?
Speaker 3: Don't you get jaws?
Speaker 5: Huh?
Speaker 2: You a dollar?
Speaker 3: You while you were to.
Speaker 2: Make a show where anything else.
Speaker 5: I didn't even want to talk over the end of it.
It sounds so cool that his needs to live. That's
the song. The band is able Blood and we have
we have Adam and Jimmy here with us live in
studio on this Saturday morning here on the program, And uh, yeah,
that's that's really really good. By the way, So who right, Adam?
Do you write the lyrics?
Speaker 1: I do?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 5: What's what's kind of your Is there a theme to
your songs? Is the aar?
Speaker 1: I have these stories going on in my head, and
I think during this one, like I don't. I haven't
written like actual stories or anything. It's just kind of
things that go on my head. And I guess this
whole album I was kind of and I think the
first album too. I just kind of imagine like a
post apocalyptic world and the coast of the United States
is now in Iowa, and I just instead of creating
a story, I have snapshots in time, and so I'm
just kind of like imagining myself in that place and
what I'm seeing at that particular moment or what I'm
going through at that particular moment in the story. Okay,
and so there's not really it's it's an overall story,
not let nothing necessarily like going on like of value
in the lyrics at the moment. It's just like me
walking down a street where people are like in this song,
I'm just seeing like like a weird market that I'm
at where people are like just doing their thing, like
trying to make a scrape by a living is basically
what's happening. Okay, So yeah, they're kind of is kind
of a weird approach to lyric writing, but I'm just
kind of just whatever's there, you know what I mean.
It's just like a snapshot in time is basically the
best way to describe it.
Speaker 5: You ever, you ever write anything like based on a
dream that you had, Like you wake up and you go, oh,
I got to write something.
Speaker 1: You know, I've never actually had that happen. I've had
some real dreams that I probably should write about, but yeah,
most of it's just just a made up world that
I'm just kind of like imagining happening or a scenario
that could happen.
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, yeah, by the way, so I know, I
know you can't be specific, but you guys do have
some good news coming up that you'll be announcing.
Speaker 1: We're yeah, we're in the process of working out a
distribution deal for for Arrival of the Waves. Okay, yeah,
so there'll be some worldwide distribution happening. We're pretty excited about.
But we're a few weeks away from being able to
finalize that. But yeah, I mean it's essentially a done deal. Yeah,
but we just have to kind of work through the
little stuff right there. But yeah, we're super excited about it,
super excited hopefully, you know, like I really feel like
this album needs to see the light of day, and
it hasn't quite seen it up, you know what I mean.
It hasn't been pushed out there. It's quite as much
as I would have liked it to be. So to
have a little bit of help is going to be amazing.
Hopefully it does well. I mean I've you know, I
put a lot of heart and soul, and Jimmy and
Malcolm have put everything they've had into it, and I
think it shines through and in the recording. So yeah, yeah,
to have some people, extra set of ears and hands
and everybody to help us, you know, get it out
there a little bit more, it's gonna be.
Speaker 5: Incredible, Absolutely congratulations on that.
Speaker 1: Thank you do you guys?
Speaker 5: I mean, I assume, like, what what do you attribute
to being able to to do that and to make
that kind of a connection and get that kind of help.
Is it because you've been so active with shows, just
hitting the road a lot and playing.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of that, a lot of
a lot of yeah, you know, networking with people you know,
and and and I'm telling you there's a ton of
bands out there, and a ton of them that are
willing to and and us as well, like we'll will
help you get on shows, We'll give you advice of
what they're doing, what they're doing that's helping them succeed,
you know. And we do the same thing for other
you know, other bands too. And it's like, you know,
they'll be like, you know, who's who you know? Bandabask
me like who did you contact for this show or
this place or that blah blah blah, And I'll be like,
here's everything I got, you know, Like I'm always willing
to help and I want to see everybody in the
scene succeed. And I feel like a lot of the
bands that I've come across, vast majority of them are
the same way, like they're like, yeah, here this is
you know, call this person or do you know? And
I think that's almost one hundred percent. The best way
to start to get a following and stuff is networking.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It is so helpful. And you know, when you when
you're first starting out and you don't know anybody and
you don't even know where to start, you know, it
seems like you're never going to crack into up. Yeah,
really tough. But once we got a recording and we
just started kind of shopping it around and then things
just kind of start to snowball, you know. And and
this year I think like me and Jimmy will put
shows together and invite bands to come and play, but
this year we put very few together and we've gotten
invited to so many. Yeah, and we're just really grateful
that that's been happening. Yeah, it's really nice.
Speaker 8: I mean, other bands even recommend us, you know, like
they'll be looking for another band for a show, and
other people say, hey, ask Gable Blood and you know,
so we're even getting that kind of buzz, which is nice.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you've sent some people our way, Yes, you send
the people are the best recommendations I get are always
from other musicians.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, yeah, if a band is you know, I
like them, I'm gonna recommend them, and you know, and
I'm proud to do it, you know, and i want
to hear them on your show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I feel like, uh, it's with music, it's it's very
sort of community oriented in that way. People want to
help each other and build those relationships. I kind of
in my mind, I contrast it with I listened to
some podcasts where there's a lot of talk about stand
up comedy and how stand up comedy works and how
people succeed in that, and I get the impression that
that's very different from music because in stand up comedy,
it sounds like it's very very cutthroat and everyone's always
trying to keep everybody else down so they can rise up,
whereas in music it's not really like that.
Speaker 1: It kind of was back in the nineties, it kind
of was like that.
Speaker 8: I mean, maybe not cutthroat, but you always felt like
there was a competition going on, yeah, and you had
to kind of claw your way up. Now, I mean,
bands like Adam said, they're so eager to work together
and lift each other up, and yeah, it only makes
sense because I don't listen to one band right then,
you know, and those other people don't listen to just
one band, So why can't we all work together to
to do it right? Because like when you go to
a show and you say this, four bands playing and
they all have a little bit different of a sound,
you're allowed to like them all.
Speaker 1: So it makes the entire evening enjoyable when everybody's doing
you know, it's it's yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm friends
with the band out of Oklahoma. That's just awesome. Can
I plug them? Trillion ton Berrillium Ships, absolutely amazing band.
They just they just dropped a brand new single called bugs.
Speaker 5: Let me see if I can say the name after
only hearing that's trillion ton Beryllium Ships.
Speaker 1: Yes, got it? Absolutely amazing ships. Ships s h I P.
I'm sorry they're out of Nebraska. I'm I don't want
to I get confused in that whole area, but it is.
Speaker 8: They're out of Lincoln, Nebraska, Okay, And I've never even
met them. We just we've developed a relationship over social
media and everything, and we just plug each other all
the time. We're very supportive all the time, and yeah,
I'm I'm in hope that someday we'll play a show
with them somehow, some way. Yeah, I'd love to see
them go to Maryland Doomfest and meet up there.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 8: It just goes to show that the kind of like
Adam said, the networking that happens now, I absolutely love it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think the Internet obviously makes sure it's so
much huge, you know, because when we grew up there,
you know, we didn't have that. So that's I think
it's changed. Uh, you know, it makes everything more community
oriented because their community really can be global. I also
think too, and it's funny this particular thought had never
occurred to me until just now, but I think part
of why too, Maybe things don't seem quite a Scott throat.
I don't know how you guys feel about this, but
I've I always hated and I say it past tense
because you don't see many of them anymore, thank god.
Battle of the Bands events.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan.
Speaker 5: I always hated those. Yeah, and I somebody I think
around here or close to her, did do one recently.
Speaker 1: There was one at the Hillsborough County was there, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Maybe that's the one I'm thinking of because I remember.
Speaker 1: There were really good bands that were playing on it, because.
Speaker 5: I remember hearing about it and thinking, oh god, somebody's
actually in twenty twenty four, somebody's actually doing a Battle
of the Bands. Yeah, and I always hated those. I mean,
first of all, look again, not saying about any specific
one that I know about, or you know, not not
casting aspersions, but they're usually rigged, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, usually a popularity content. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I just hate that. Like the whole concept
is so it's I.
Speaker 1: Mean, it's the term Battle of the bands. All the
nevers that took part of the Battle of the Bands
got together and put that on as a as a showcase. Yeah,
I think it would go so much better. Yeah, it
wouldn't be competing with each other, propping each other up.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I just yeah, the whole thing. And then
and then you know, and then these bands they have
to you know, get people to show up and you know,
vote for us, and so the whole thing is awful. Yeah,
I'm glad that it's a dying thing. It's just uh,
I remember, you know, I don't play anymore, but when
I used to play in bands, and i'd play in
a band that would get invited to.
Speaker 1: Do one of these.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, I don't even want to bring this
to the other guys. It's so it's gross. There was
one I I did get involved in. This must have
been not not twenty years well maybe jeesus might have
been twenty years ago. You guys remember the bomb shelter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there,
Oh yeah, I was, Yes, I was at those shows.
There was a there was a bad I I do
remember the guy's name. I'm not gonna say it on
the air, but there was a guy who was a
big promoter in the area. You might even know who
I'm thinking about. You did a lot of shows there
who was putting on a battle of the bands, and
he was managing one of the bands that was in
the Battle of the bands, and it became like an
open like it ended up spilling out into the open.
Everybody knew it was rigged. But this one though, this
particular one, because it's spilled out into the open and
everybody knew it changed the promoter changed it to just
a regular show. It was no longer a battle of
the bands. Because he looked and he didn't look great anyway.
This particular person I'm thinking of, you know what I
mean in terms of reputation, But this whole thing made
him look even worse and then he ended up changing it.
Speaker 1: And he's the thing.
Speaker 8: There's so many cool bands around here with great people, right.
They should never with all the hard work they put
into their craft, should never feel defeated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or they have to compete for it, or exactly
walking away wishing they had won. Like I don't.
Speaker 8: I think everybody wins. If we're doing what we're doing
and we love what we do, we already won. I
hate award shows and things like that competition there. It's
just like I don't even I don't want your vote
if it's you know, like I just want you to
listen to the album, come to a show. Yeah, you know,
I could care less if I got an award for it.
I do it for us, you know, and I do
it for the people that like to listen to it,
you know, right. Yeah, it just it almost feels like
battle the Band type stuff to me, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly what you mean.
Speaker 1: You know, get the album. I don't even care if
you like, and get it for free. Just listen to it, right, yeah, yeah,
and come hang out of the show the show. Those
are a lot of fun. We love to hang out
with people. Yeah, you know. I would come up and
they're like, hey, I was listening to you know, Enemies today,
and I'll be like, oh cool, I didn't know anybody
who was listening to that, you know, And so it's
cool when somebody does say stuff like that, and I
love I love hanging out with people that, yeah, you
know that are into it, and then we can just
talk music and you know, it's fun. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely,
we're very approachable people. Yes, Jimmy especially especially probably one
of the most approachable people I've ever met.
Speaker 5: Oh, very good, very good. Well we should play another Uh,
let's play another track. What do you guys want to
What do you guys?
Speaker 1: I kind of want to hear trippy edi Okay, there
it's it's it's a semi instrumental. It's got some some
samples in it. I wrote the song at my house,
recorded it on my phone, and it ended up being
the recording that ended up on the album. Oh yeah,
we didn't professionally record this song.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well that makes me very curious, sound because I
don't think we played this one the last time.
Speaker 1: So it's just got a trippy vibe obviously, the name
Trippy Eddie. Yeah yeah, and it's just got some samples.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, let's give this a spin. This is
Trippy Eddie by able Blood.
Speaker 9: Congratulations, you found a home. If Frankly has no literature, literature,
nature toting types of purposes, your.
Speaker 3: You have no future?
Speaker 1: Can you have?
Speaker 3: Not?
Speaker 9: The aside you said? But if you preach.
Speaker 1: The fun s as for banks.
Speaker 9: Because death is death, it's the only way out. His
way out.
Speaker 3: That is.
Speaker 5: That is Trippy Eddie. The band is able Blood.
Speaker 1: That is cool.
Speaker 5: What what is that sample from?
Speaker 1: Uh, it's a Reallyota movie back in the nineties, No Escape.
Oh I think it was No Escape as the movie.
I'm not a big I don't I'm not anti movie. Yeah,
I just don't end up watching a lot of movies. Yeah,
Malcolm's the guy that well is the movie guy. Yeah,
he knows every word every movie ever written or every made.
I know nothing, but I think that's from No Escape.
Speaker 5: Was that Ray Liota's voice?
Speaker 1: I don't know it's been altered.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No Escape.
Speaker 5: I don't remember that one. Us a great actor though
he was he.
Speaker 1: Was, I agree Good Fellas, Oh yeah, I did see
that movie.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeh many times. If you are destroying us, we
have Able Blood. Two of the guys from Able Blood
here with us, live and studio. Adam and Jimmy are
here and now. So what's what's next for you guys?
You have I know you're going to be slowing down
in the winter, but you yeah, is October is still busy?
Speaker 1: We're going to be a Terminus the nineteen. Yes, that
one show. We're really excited. I think the six bands dead,
Harrison's playing and Megans are playing. Ye. I haven't memorized
everybody that's going to be there. It's going to be
a huge show.
Speaker 5: Though.
Speaker 6: Is Horror on that show?

Speaker 7: Horror is on there, Questioning Beast is on there the
Great Curtain?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, because we've got yeah, because actually, so today's
show is really about that show. Okay, because we've got

But this Tuesday, we're gonna be playing with Telekinetic Yetty
over at Jewel and it's bat Bonginatorator.
Speaker 5: Yeah gotcha. Yeah, I figured the Stoner death Metal really okay, So.
Speaker 1: We are super excited to play that show because Telekinetic
Yety is basically the inspiration for our setup where we
don't have a bass player and and we split our
signals and everything, so it's going to be like a
full circle show for us. We're going to be able to,
you know, be like we're not worthy guys, but yeah,
we totally rip you off.
Speaker 8: I mean, Malcolm and I talked to them because they
played a Jewel earlier in the year. They opened for
weed Eater, which was an absolutely amazing show. But we
got to talk to the guys from tele Connectic Yetty
and we're like, really wanted to play this show, but
we found out late and they're like, well, hopefully we'll
do something in the future, and well the future is
now because Tuesday Night will be doing it.

Speaker 5: Yead Brandon Finnie, the drummer. He's been on the show before,
but it was but it was before he played in
vigil Actually it's quite a few years ago now, Yeah,
that he was on the show. He probably doesn't even remember.

Speaker 1: Yeah, really really good album. Their last album is really good.
Speaker 5: And then in the winter, you're probably going back.
Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna write songs. Oh yeah, and
then yeah, we're probably gonna do the re recording. We're
considering that we're we're, you know, seventy percent decided that
we're probably gonna record re record keeping pace with the Elephants, Okay,
give it a fresher feel, yeah, and then write a
bunch of songs, yeah, and then just see where they
all go.
Speaker 5: You guys must have some stuff you play live that
you haven't recorded yet. I would assume, right, you have
some some newer stuff.
Speaker 1: That we've really been pushing Arrival of the Waves the
last Yeah, we do some riffs that we don't have
recorded anywhere. We kind of opened the set with just
some random rift that we came up with one day
and it just stuck with the set. But we do
have songs in the works, and the one that we've
nearly completed I cannot wait to get recorded. Really, it's
gonna be some of our heaviest stuff that we've done.
And actually the song probably has some of the heaviest
stuff we've done and some of the mellowist stuff we've
done in the same song. Oh really, Yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 5: Oh, very cool, very cool. Well we are the time
goes quickly. We are approaching the top of the hour.
So where should people know where to go online? Keep
up with everything you guys are doing.
Speaker 1: We're really active on Facebook, ad e l Blood. We
we do post most of our stuff there. A little
bit on Instagram. I haven't been the best Instagram guy. Yeah,
I should get better at it because a lot of
people go there, so it would be really helpful. But yeah,
and then we've got a Sonic bids ebk that Jimmy
maintains very well, and it has all the shows that
we have coming up, all the.

a yell. So I always spell it out to people when.

Saturday morning. So we're going to close the segment with
mental Note by able Blood, and then at the top
