in Oh my God twenty eleven. Is that right, twenty eleven. Yeah,

59
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,399
you were in a band called the Ghost Dinner Band.

60
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 13: That's right.

61
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: And I interviewed you on another show that I do

62
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,759
called Local Outbreak and uh wow yeah so and you

63
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:33,000
you mentioned too, So you actually went back and listened

64
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,160
to that.

65
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,879
Speaker 13: I did. Yeah, I found the archives I was. I

66
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:36,120
was listening back as funny.

67
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I yeah, I remember, I remember the Ghost Dinner

68
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,519
Band and whatever ended up happening to that.

69
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 13: I mean, we we had a good run of it,

70
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,680
and things just kind of fizzled out. You know, we

71
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:50,319
all we were like a high school sweetheart band. You know,

72
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,160
we have been playing together since high school. Yeah, just

73
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,720
you know, we all just kind of went our separate ways.

74
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,600
But everybody's still playing in different bands, and yeah for

75
00:05:57,639 --> 00:05:58,120
the most part.

76
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:01,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. And the song that we just played,

77
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,240
so is that the current single that that on my mind?

78
00:06:04,519 --> 00:06:06,079
Featuring Rachel Sumner?

79
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 13: Yep, that's it. That's it. And Rachel Sumner is an

80
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:12,920
incredible songwriter from Boston area. She's just amazing. Yeah.

81
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,399
Speaker 14: She had a giant TikTok moment last year really yeah

82
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,879
with a song called Radium Girls, right yeah, yeah, yeah,

83
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,560
they went really viral.

84
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,079
Speaker 3: It's a great song. You should check it out. Oh

85
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:29,000
I well, yeah, I thought her name was familiar. Maybe

86
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,079
that's why I know it. Yeah, how did you guys

87
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,680
get connected with her to do this track?

88
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,079
Speaker 13: So we just we knew her, like, you know, acquaintances

89
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,920
and friends in the scene, and when writing the song,

90
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:41,000
we just knew that it needed a female voice. Yeah,

91
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,639
kind of do that duet classic thing. And yeah, she

92
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:47,720
came to mind. So we reached out and she was

93
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,439
into it, and yeah, she just nailed it. We sent

94
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:52,360
her the tracks and she kind of sent like, hey,

95
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:55,720
is this what you're looking for? And we were like absolutely, like,

96
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,040
just knocked it out of the park.

97
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well very cool. Yeah I like that song a lot.

98
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:02,079
It's got got kind of a little bit of a balance,

99
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,680
a little bit of a swing to it. But yeah,

100
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,120
very cool. Now the album or album, I guess are

101
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,800
you calling it an EP? It's seven tracks.

102
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 13: It's kind of in that, right, It's it's seven it's

103
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:14,759
seven So yeah, it's an EP, but it's like, you know,

104
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,519
it's somewhere between.

105
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: It's in that weird gray zone between EP and album

106
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,399
and is that already out or is that coming out soon?

107
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:23,399
Speaker 13: It's coming out on the seventeenth O next week.

108
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: Oh, very good, very good. So this is this is

109
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,439
like a world premiere, world premiere, excellent, excellent. Yeah, and

110
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:33,720
it makes sense for that to be, you know, because

111
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,360
of Rachel. It makes sense that that would be the

112
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:38,480
first uh, the first single. But you guys have released

113
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:41,439
other things before this, right, yep. Yes, this is our

114
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,319
third album, and this is actually the third single from

115
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,240
from the album. So we've we've dropped a few singles.

116
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:48,600
We've been trickling them out a little bit. Oh okay, Yeah,

117
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:50,639
that's interesting. That's something that comes up a lot on

118
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,160
the show is you know, we live in a time

119
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:55,319
where you can use all these different strategies in terms

120
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,000
of of how you release things, and it it I've

121
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:00,639
noticed that, you know, because I'm old to remember that,

122
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,959
you know, every band would release an album, the first

123
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:06,160
single would go to radio maybe six eight weeks before

124
00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:08,959
the album, you know, and then the album comes out,

125
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,839
and then the second single, and then the third single

126
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:13,240
and so forth. But now, you know, because of the

127
00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:15,120
Internet and the way things have changed over the years,

128
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,120
there's so many different things you can do. You can

129
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:19,000
release an EP, you can release an album, you can

130
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:21,319
release a series of singles that eventually become an album.

131
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:25,439
You can you know, release you know, a few singles

132
00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:29,319
ahead of an EP. What what decisions? Why did you

133
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,519
guys decide to use the strategy that you're using for

134
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,440
this release or or did it just and there may

135
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:36,720
may not be a reason, It may just feel organically

136
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,840
right to do it this scort, but yeah.

137
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 14: We're guessing at what works. You know, we've seen a

138
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,679
lot of like strategic how you do all this stuff,

139
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,679
but also like albums in collections of songs aren't really

140
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:54,960
something that that gets a lot of shine these days.

141
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,879
You know, a lot of there's a lot of singles

142
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,919
and stuff like that, and like there's a real reason

143
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,279
to do that, but there's there's a level of we'd

144
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,080
like to get together and work on six seven eight

145
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,879
songs in the studio at a time.

146
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 13: So right, well, yeah, it is sad because albums as

147
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,840
a whole aren't being consumed as they used to be.

148
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:18,080
Still people still do listen to them, and yeah, but

149
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:21,720
you know it is a single culture for that matter.

150
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,879
But yeah, I mean we follow the what is the

151
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,039
the waterfall releases what they call it, where you kind

152
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,200
of tickling the algorithm before the album comes out.

153
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. By the way, we have received an

154
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:38,399

Speaker 13: Thanks. Yeah, we have a kind of a home studio, Yeah,

169
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,159
in Peterborn, Hampshire, and uh yeah, it's it's it's where

170
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,960
we rehearse and it's kind of like our project studio

171
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:22,240
and yeah, do everything there.

172
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:22,519
Speaker 12: Yeah.

173
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:25,159
Speaker 3: That's another thing that's kind of changed over the years

174
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,480
is you know, we live in a time where you

175
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,000
can there's so many different options for how to record,

176
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:31,759
and you can you know, obviously there's a lot of

177
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:34,559
great studios around, but you can also do you know,

178
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,519
do most of it at home or all of it

179
00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:40,039
at home, and you know, you can email tracks back

180
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,720
and forth if you want to. There's so many ways

181
00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:43,679
to do it, and you can you can actually produce

182
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,440
something that sounds like it was recorded in a million

183
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,080
dollar studio totally.

184
00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 13: Yeah.

185
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm I'm always reminded that that first Billie Eilish

186
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,120
album I think was recorded fully in her bedroom with

187
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,360
your brother. Yeah, you know, like, I'm not a pop guy,

188
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,759
but that's impressive that you can do that and then

189
00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:02,720
blow up like that.

190
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 15: It is.

191
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. How do you, guys, how do you

192
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:10,879
just describe your sound? I was looking at the website

193
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:16,679
and I saw some pretty interesting verbiage. But somebody who

194
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,279
was it somebody recently, because you're the name Modern Fools

195
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,679
has come up on the show more than once. So

196
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,159
there's a lot of other artists in the area who

197
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:26,399
are are big fans of you guys. And somebody described

198
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:29,960
you as cosmic country. Yeah, yeah, I think that's kind

199
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,039
of what we've been rolling with. Lately, And I know

200
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:35,759
that gets a lot of ties to Daniel Donado, who's

201
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,320
a younger artist now who has put it in his name,

202
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,039
But it really goes back to like Grand Parsons is

203
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,480
really the founder, I would say, the godfather of cosmic country,

204
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,960
which is sort of just a blend of you know, country.

205
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 13: Rock, which is he's responsible for that. Yeah, yeah, cool.

206
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it certainly doesn't sound like what you hear on

207
00:11:55,879 --> 00:11:56,360
the radio.

208
00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 13: Sure, it's not bud Light country. We're more of a

209
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,799
Miller high life. I had not heard that term here

210
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,559
to describe modern country. I've heard the term bro country. Yeah,

211
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:09,039
that works.

212
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: I've heard that a lot.

213
00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, We've been working on figuring out like I think

214
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:16,399
that beer is a just a good description for country

215
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,600
in general. So there's lots of different varieties of country.

216
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,159
Obviously Corona country, Yeah, Corona country. That that'd be more

217
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,519
like the Jimmy Buffett era of country.

218
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:26,759
Speaker 15: You know.

219
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 14: Don't get me wrong, I still like Corona country sometimes.

220
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,759
Speaker 13: Yeah. Sure, say that's just you know, whatever you're whatever

221
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:35,639
you're drinking is kind of you know, it defines you

222
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,759
in the country real.

223
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: Well, are so we live with us or he lives

224
00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,360
with us? Really DJ Reckless. I don't know if you

225
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:45,840
has no DJ Reckless, but he's he works at ninety

226
00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:51,120
six five Now Live Free Country, Yeah, Live Free Country.

227
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,759
I keep wanting to still call it the Mill, even

228
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:55,360
though it hasn't been that in at least a year.

229
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:59,039
But but uh, you know, I'll turn that station on

230
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,399
and and some of what I hear it it doesn't

231
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:07,279
even sound like like it's country. It's got just enough

232
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,879
twang in it to be country, some of the modern stuff,

233
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,440
but but some of it like just barely enough, you

234
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:12,919
know what I mean.

235
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's basically just pop music, right, And some of it, yeah,

236
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:17,279
have a banjo in the back and like a pedal

237
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,799
steel and then yeah.

238
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 14: Well the Nashville thing has really been homogenized at this point.

239
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:25,879
And it's not it's not bad. Those guys are incredibly

240
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,600
talented players. But you go to Nashville to make a

241
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,759
certain type of music and and it comes out being

242
00:13:34,159 --> 00:13:37,120
in that vein and it it's not the same kind

243
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,440
of classic country that that were turned on too. It's

244
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:46,240
definitely a derivative of that thing. But yeah, you know,

245
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,440
there's there's there's merit in in in anything you're making

246
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,559
for us. We when we think of country, we're thinking

247
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,879
you know, Christofferson, cash Parton, you know, the Graham Parsons,

248
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,200
the Flying Burrito brother Yeah. I could probably name them

249
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,879
for for longer than they should. And we go back

250
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,799
to an era where it really feels like it was

251
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,360
like it was an outsider art form.

252
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, interesting. What about Are there any modern country

253
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:19,799
artists who who you guys kind.

254
00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:20,639
Speaker 14: Of relate to a bunch?

255
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: Are there?

256
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,559
Speaker 13: I would say that right now is probably like the

257
00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:27,679
healthiest time for uh, what I'm gonna coin is good

258
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:31,559
country for lack of a better term. But yeah, I

259
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:33,759
mean like there's there's a lot of just bands that

260
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:36,799
are like, you know, like Charlie Crockett maybe being like

261
00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:39,279
one of the bigger artists right now. But yep, that's

262
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,320
you know, like going back to that roots stuff and

263
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,720
it's you know, it's very much not but light driven.

264
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: I still love that. That's funny. The name that comes

265
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,759
up really consistently on the show is Chris Stapleton, Like

266
00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:58,279
especially with the not just with bands, but singer songwriters,

267
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,279
just guys coming in with just an acoustic guitar like

268
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,799
Chris Stapleson's name. Chris Stapleton's name comes up all the time.

269
00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:07,399
Speaker 13: Definitely, he's he's doing he's doing it right for sure.

270
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 14: I think he's one of those few guys that's still

271
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,799
like like keeping that whole art form pure. It's cool

272
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,559
to see a guy that's doing that still maintaining that

273
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,200
level of popularity too.

274
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,559
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, well he's uh yeah, he's a hell of

275
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,799
a songwriter. I think, great voice. And and as far

276
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,679
as Nashville goes too, I feel like, uh, I always

277
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,759
say this from a just from a production standpoint, Nashville

278
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,759
really has it down. Like I think that just sonically

279
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:40,559
in terms of production. Like I'm I'm really picky about

280
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:42,840
drums when I listen to a song and I think,

281
00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:45,799
you know, the drum sounds coming out of those Nashville

282
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:49,759
studios just are I think it sounds absolutely perfect. And

283
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,960
and I think a lot of things, you know, a

284
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:55,960
lot of I listen to a lot of metal, but

285
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,559
a lot of modern metal. Something went wrong where like

286
00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:03,559
the guitars don't sound right to me. They sound small,

287
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:06,200
if that makes sense, Whereas when I was growing up,

288
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,159
metal sounded you know, the guitars sounded nice and crunchy.

289
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:13,080
So I have complaints about how modern metal is produced

290
00:16:13,159 --> 00:16:14,799
and now, and I can you know, I have a

291
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,799
little bit of an audio engineering background, so I can

292
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,639
pick up part a lot of things. But when I

293
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,600
listen to anything coming out of Nashville, it's like just

294
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:22,759
from a production stamp, whether I like the song or not,

295
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,480
just from an audio production standpoint, it's like, wow, like

296
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,279
they've got it.

297
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 15: You know.

298
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 14: That's Have you ever been down Music Row in Nashville.

299
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 15: I have not.

300
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: I've never been to Nashville, So, I mean.

301
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 14: Given it was it was probably three or four years

302
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,679
ago now, but my wife and I were down there

303
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,919
and we're walking through and we're seeing like big machine

304
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:44,240
and you know, all the all the giant labels, and

305
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,639
I had that same thought. But that, I mean, like

306
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:49,240
I'm a music nerd, right, how could you not be

307
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,320
being you know, our age still releasing singles to But like,

308
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,399
for for us, like that emanates from like the late

309
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:01,000
sixties and the seventies when you had guys like Bob

310
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,640
Dylan going in to record with a what's the name

311
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,559
Billy the Nashville producer. I'm I'm not gonna go, but

312
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,359
you know who I'm talking about. So he went in

313
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,240
there and then Neil Young goes in there ten years

314
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,920
later and the sound like it's the Nashville thing. They

315
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:20,440
went there to record and lay down those kind of tracks.

316
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:22,759
It's really cool. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

317
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,519
Speaker 3: Do you guys, everything that you've recorded, have you've done

318
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:28,839
it the same way in terms of how you produce it?

319
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:29,079
Speaker 15: No?

320
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 13: No, we changed it up. This record. We did almost

321
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,240
exclusively live. Oh it's very live in this Oh cool.

322
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,839
This record was kind of like a concept album to

323
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,599
some regards anyway, with moving into the honky Tonk realm.

324
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,160
That's not really what we typically do. There's always kind

325
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,799
of a tinge of country in there, but this is

326
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,440
like full on country. And the whole thing actually stemmed

327
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,039
from On the album cover, there's a sign that says

328
00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:58,720
clearly country, which I found at a yard sale and

329
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,279
I had seen it in the day time and I

330
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,119
just couldn't stop thinking about it. I didn't buy it. Yeah,

331
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,039
I don't know why. I just had to go. I

332
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,559
had to go buy it. So I went back and

333
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,599
bought it, and I didn't really know why at the time,

334
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,119
but it sort of sparked this inspiration. It was like,

335
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,720
that's an album cover, yep, honky Tonk record.

336
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: So, yeah, that's great, it's very cool. It's very cool.

337
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,599
Has the lineup been the same over the course of

338
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,839
the band or has that changed at all?

339
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 13: So it's actually changed. So the band formed originally in

340
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:31,960
twenty fourteen, okay, so, and I was the only original

341
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,720
member from that lineup. We kind of fizzled out in

342
00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:38,400
probably twenty sixteen or seventeen. We never actually did a record.

343
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,000
We did a bunch of local shows well, and by

344
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:41,759
fizzled out.

345
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 14: That was about when I joined the band and we

346
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,839
became a different band entirely sure, called the Flood. And

347
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:49,599
I don't know if you know eight A m or

348
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:53,559
Adam in the Flood, but we used to play in

349
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,160
his band and did a little little move in with him,

350
00:18:57,279 --> 00:18:59,319
and then COVID happened.

351
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 13: Yeah, the pandemic time is we just kind of like

352
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,079
got it all together and started recording.

353
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 14: And so he was traveling all throughout the US writing

354
00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:12,759
songs and sending us demos back here. You know, some

355
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,640
of our favorite came from your time in Joshua Tree

356
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:22,480
in California. And then Justin and I the drummer, would

357
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:25,400
get these demos and we were kind of pouring over them.

358
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:32,079
These are great. So our first album was largely recorded distance. Okay, now,

359
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:35,119
not all while you were on the road, but because

360
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,480
of COVID, like none of us knew what was going on,

361
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:40,279
we weren't getting together. So so we were sending tracks

362
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:42,119
left and right in that first album, see or we

363
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,519
did probably about ninety percent separated from each other.

364
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,039
Speaker 13: For sure.

365
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,559
Speaker 3: Was it hard doing it that way? Or because one

366
00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:52,400
of the things, you know, the pandemic comes up a

367
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,359
lot on the show because it's it's a very very

368
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,880
common tale. You know, we we were doing this, we

369
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,680
were doing that. We had all these plans and then

370
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,599
the plague. But and as awful as it was, you know,

371
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,440
I always say, we have to find these silver linings

372
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,680
where we can, and I feel like one of the

373
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,559
few silver linings of it was it kind of forced

374
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:10,440
people to be creative in ways that maybe they hadn't

375
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:15,000
previously considered and getting comfortable with things like sending tracks

376
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:16,359
back and forth and doing all that.

377
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:21,839
Speaker 14: Sure, so I think for us we in various iterations. Right,

378
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,839
New Hampshire is a small state, right, and we're a

379
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,799
small music scene. Josh and I have known each other

380
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,960
twenty some odd years now, you know, we started playing

381
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:35,359
music together about ten years ago in real capacity. But like,

382
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,160
you know, our stories are very intertwined, and so there

383
00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:43,079
was a level of we've played with these guys, all

384
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,599
of them for a minimum of five six years at

385
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,599
that point, or various like ins and outs.

386
00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:48,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, how do we.

387
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 14: Take that relationship and how do we do it in

388
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:55,559
a different sort of way. So, like, it probably would

389
00:20:55,559 --> 00:20:57,039
have been a lot harder to try to get the

390
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,519
whole thing going like like like fresh. Yeah, but you

391
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:02,559
got a bunch of guys that are gonna eat nachos

392
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,680
with each other any day anyway. You know what difference

393
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:07,279
is it if you're sending texts in everything?

394
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: That makes sense? Yeah, that makes sense. Definitely we should. Uh,

395
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,640
let's play another track.

396
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 15: What do you guys?

397
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,519
Speaker 3: Uh, I'll let you I'll let you all pick. I

398
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,599
listened to the you know, obviously I listened to the

399
00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:19,799
ones you suggested, but I also listen to the rest

400
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:21,960
of the album too, or ep. The whole thing is great.

401
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:26,079
I love it, but uh, whatever whatever you want to go.

402
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,759
Speaker 13: With next, Let's do something that we haven't released yet.

403
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,839
My side, My side will be like a world premiere

think they mentioned you guys because I think they're one

419
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,279
of the bands we had on that mentioned you because,

420

421
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,200
a few times, but you know when you mentioned Steel

422
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,400
Guitar made me think of that love it. Yeah, those

00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,440

Speaker 3: The band is Modern Fools, and we have two of

455
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,400
the guys here. Do we have fifty per Is it

456
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,640
a four piece or a five piece?

457
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,279
Speaker 13: It's a fluctuating five piece.

458
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:30,279
Speaker 3: Okay. We weren't sure because your bio says force them

459
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:32,920
on the website. But then there's a picture on Facebook

460
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:33,640
with five people.

461
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 14: We can do shows with four. We like to do

462
00:26:36,079 --> 00:26:37,960
him with as many people as possible. Gotcha.

463
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 13: We have a keyboard player that he's there sometimes he's there.

464
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 3: Not Okay, I suspected it might be something like that

465
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,480
because obviously the style of music that you do, the

466
00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:48,960
vibe and everything, you know, you've got that flexibility you

467
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:52,200
can kind of you know, kind of do that. I've

468
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,839
always been I've always been a little envious of that. Actually,

469
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,359
you know, I used to play. I don't play anymore.

470
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,519
I used to play a bunch of bands, But I

471
00:26:57,839 --> 00:26:59,519
was never in a project where we had that kind

472
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:02,519
of thing where you know, you could you could, you

473
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:05,359
could vary it and and still make it work no

474
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,279
matter what, you know, and bring guest musicians on stage.

475
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,079
Speaker 14: And yeah, that's really the thing we got.

476
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 15: We got.

477
00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 14: I mean, you don't say the four core because Nicky

478
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:20,119
is Nicky's five, but but four of us can pull

479
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,480
it off. We got steel players we can bring in.

480
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:25,400
We have a great time, a couple of auxiliary vocalists

481
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,079
and yeah, this yeah, fun thing to do.

482
00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, it's cool to be able to do

483
00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:32,000
it that way. Are you guys playing out a lot?

484
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:33,000
Are you doing a lot of shows?

485
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 13: Uh, yeah, we're This is actually probably a good time

She's opening the show. It's gonna be amazing.

495
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,000

554
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,400

555
00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:27,920

we're doing like a little in store performance thing, so

559
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,319

two pm, two pm. Gonna play a few songs and uh,

563
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, we've been told it'll be a cool little event

564
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:52,720
by John over there.

565
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, outstanding, outstanding. Where is I haven't been in there

566
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,319
and I feel like a very like I don't even

567
00:30:59,319 --> 00:30:59,880
remember where it is.

568
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,519
Speaker 13: Exactly. I've never been.

569
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, so we're not we're not Manchester local, right, I

570
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,880
mean you're Peterburger. I've been in Music Connection a couple times.

571
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,319
And he's also got a Turner's Fall store, which is cool.

572
00:31:10,519 --> 00:31:14,559
Speaker 13: Oh, I'll look up the address, why not, might as

573
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:15,759
well put it Yeah, put it up there.

574
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:17,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me do that so I know it's not

575
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,119
on ELM. I'm just trying to think. I think I've

576
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,680
been there. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I haven't.

577
00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 14: I mean, it's it's a cool store, it's it's it's

578
00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:29,039
very much stuck in that like we are a record shop.

579
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

580
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,119
Speaker 14: We love being a record shop mentality, and I love that.

581
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:36,559
Speaker 13: Yeah. Yeah, it's super great. We'll be there. We'll have

582
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,359
some hard copies of the CDs, which is kind of

583
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,599
funny because I don't think people are going there to

584
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,480
buy CDs. But right right, maybe.

585
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 14: Seventeen eleven South Willow across from the mall, New Him

586
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,880
or oh okay, Music Connection.

587
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:53,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have been in there. I remember going in

588
00:31:53,319 --> 00:31:56,119
there now. Yeah, because I can now you said the address,

589
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,400
I can picture it right right across from the mall. Yeah,

590
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,799
that's very cool and it's great that there's still places

591
00:32:01,839 --> 00:32:02,200
around that.

592
00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:03,759
Speaker 13: Do that, you know, definitely.

593
00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people probably don't even

594
00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:08,599
realize that there's still places around to do that. So

595
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,880
that's awesome, dude.

596
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 14: I still pull up all those old Wilco in store

597
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,480
performances to watch back. Those are some of the greatest

598
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:15,319
ones really.

599
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:15,559
Speaker 8: Yeah.

600
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, they're so neat.

601
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:18,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, very cool? Are those on those?

602
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 14: You can find them on YouTube? Yeah, they hear in

603
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,160
a band do a stripped down thing. Yeah, it's fun.

604
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,119
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely absolutely. You guys want to pick another one?

605
00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:29,039
We should play another one?

606
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,559
Speaker 13: Yeah, John, why do you pick one?

607
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 14: I already told you what I want to pick.

608
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:34,599
Speaker 13: Well, it's your turn, all right.

609
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 14: So I wanted to give a shine to the other

610
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,119
two guys who couldn't be here today, Justin who's a

611
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,039
great drummer, and hopefully we'd play Ballroom because that's an

612
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:48,039
unbelievable drum drum track. But Ian did the lead off

613
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,240
on this one, which is Don't Let Your Love Run Cold,

614
00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:54,720
so Josh wrote it. But Ian, who is our bassist,

615
00:32:55,759 --> 00:32:57,960
is just an unbelievable vocal ranger.

616
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 8: So this is it.

617
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 14: Yeah, this is a not a long song, but it's

618
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,319
always fun to give shine to the guys that can

619
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,599
do stuff that's incredible.

620
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 13: It's uh, you didn't even say the song I didn't

621
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:12,079
run it Run Cold, Run Cold? The first track there,

622
00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:13,839
it is. It's a it's kind of a funny one

623
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,119
to play on the radio. It's all vocal arrangement.

624
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is short. It's it's only a minute and

625
00:33:18,119 --> 00:33:20,440
a half. But uh yeah, and it opens the album

626
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:22,920
opens the album. Yeah, very cool. All right, let's give

627
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,039
this a listen. This is Ron Cold. The band is

628
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:25,839
Modern Fools.

629
00:33:26,319 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 2: Don't let your run Cold, keep your heart.

630
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 10: Turn five to cold, Don't let you run cold.

Speaker 5: Involving food.

638
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 17: Don't let you love from Cold, keep your heart of cold, turning.

Speaker 5: Fire to cold, Don't let you love roum Cold.

640
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 3: That is Run Cold. That is Modern Fools. And we've

641
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,920
got Josh and John from the band Modern Fools with

642
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:59,119
us here in studio. That's nice. I like the I

643
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:00,599
do like the vocal. So it was a little bit

644
00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:02,280
although it's not all vocals, there was a little bit

645
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:02,840
of guitar.

646
00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:03,599
Speaker 14: A little guitar in there.

647
00:35:03,679 --> 00:35:06,159
Speaker 13: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's like in the back room sounding

648
00:35:06,559 --> 00:35:07,320
Yeah yeah.

649
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,159
Speaker 14: That one we intentionally recorded huddled around in old microphone.

650
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,719
Oh no, if it sounded like it, it does, I

651
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,760
can I can picture it. I can definitely picture it.

652
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 3: No, that's cool. Have you guys done any Yeah, you

653
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,239
could do some interesting visuals with that. Have you guys

654
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,840
done any videos for any of these or not? For these?

655
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 13: We have done some interesting music videos in the past.

656
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,920
We've had some fun with that, but uh yeah. We

657
00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:33,960
recently did a like a live session. We took over

658
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,039
the Hancock Depot, which is in Hancock, New Hampshire. Yeah,

659
00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:39,239
it's an old train depot and they have like a

660
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,159
it's a really cool little cabaret style venue. They have

661
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:44,760
a stage, but we took over like basically like the

662
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,559
living room there, which is like this turn of the

663
00:35:46,639 --> 00:35:51,360
century looking railroad station. It's like all this old stuff

664
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,280
in there, and we uh yeah. We brought in some

665
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,760
friends and film crew and recorded the whole thing. So

666
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,159
we're starting to release that and they'll be sort of

667
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,920
a like a full band live video shoot. That's we're

668
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,280
gonna slowly start putting out.

669
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,559
Speaker 14: Oh okay, So to recap. We recorded the album live

670
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,880
and then we re recorded the album live to release

671
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,440
a video of it.

672
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,159
Speaker 3: No, that's cool though. How many songs did you record

673
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:17,679
for the video?

674
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 13: I think we did all We did eight because we

675
00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:22,960
added a cover in there, did the full album, and

676
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,639
then we did an extra song.

677
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 3: So are you going to release a full video at

678
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,280
once or are you going to split that up?

679
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,519
Speaker 13: We'll split it up to you. We already released one. Yeah.

680
00:36:31,559 --> 00:36:33,679
We did a version of Ballroom Bender Blues, which is

681
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,920
which is really cool. It's just that oh, very cool

682
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,199
visual and it was just a fun experience.

683
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:38,639
Speaker 15: It was.

684
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, we have a little content to keep the content

685
00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:43,320
train rolling after the fact.

686
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,639
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, well that's important. Absolutely, it's very important

687
00:36:46,679 --> 00:36:49,599
to do that, do you guys? I ask everybody this question,

688
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,840
but I'm always curious. Are there any other bands in

689
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,119
the area that you kind of you know, it often

690
00:36:55,159 --> 00:36:57,679
happens organically, but anybody you've kind of teamed up with

691
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,320
that you happen to play a lot of shows with it.

692
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 13: Well, we started playing with our friends Coyote Smoke, who

693
00:37:04,199 --> 00:37:06,039
are a newer band from the Sea Coast.

694
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:08,679
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know them. Yeah, great cool name.

695
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,199
Speaker 13: Yeah, they're brand new, and they they're also like playing

696
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,360
with the regals as well, so like we're all kind

697
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,639
of tied in in that regard and sort of creating

698
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,360
this this new scene hopefully, like this interesting kind of

699
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,000
old country thing that's that's forming.

700
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 14: There's Slim Volume, who we love those guys. There's the

701
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:35,360
Rear Defrosters. They're out of Vermont, but they are I mean,

702
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:41,119
they're kind of like the spiritual country grandfathers of the area.

703
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,599
Yeah yeah, I mean, like we're we're getting on the

704
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,559
the old uncle territory. But but these guys were doing

705
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:51,440
this kind of stuff like you know, the early two

706
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:56,000
thousands and now actually one of them owns one of

707
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,639
the venues in Keene called Nova Arts. I don't know

708
00:37:58,639 --> 00:38:00,000
if you've been there. It's great play.

709
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 3: I've heard about it. I've not been there, but.

710
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,039
Speaker 14: If you like that, And because New Hampshire is so small,

711
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:08,840
once a month there's actually a honky tonk Night by

712
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,239
the Rear Defrosters over there. Worth a trip over for sure.

713
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,519
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, Vermont.

714
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 14: They are Brattleborough Putney, Okay, you know the hill people.

715
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, no, that's cool.

716
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't heard of them either. I'll have to

717
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,960
look them up. That's cool. Do you do you ever

718
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,280
play shows with bands that you don't necessarily fit like.

719
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 13: It's happened for sure.

720
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 7: Yeah.

721
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,639
Speaker 13: You know, sometimes venues will just put together a show

722
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,559
and yeah, but for the most part, people are pretty

723
00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:41,280
in tune with like trying to get us, you know,

724
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,880
onto like like similar bills. We we did a thing

725
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,000
with say z U Zoo on Stone Church where those

726
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:49,559
guys are great.

727
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cool.

728
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 13: All country legends in New Hampshire basically and yeah, yeah,

729
00:38:55,079 --> 00:38:56,960
so hopefully we'll do some more stuff with them this

730
00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:01,559
summer and yeah, and John Nolan's Eye Project band as well.

731
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 14: Okay, yeah, I think probably the weirdest ones that we've

732
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,880
been paired up to are those ones were supporting like

733
00:39:09,079 --> 00:39:13,280
major national acts coming through. But you know those are

734
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,400
just like we're we're happy to be on the stage.

735
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, like, what what are some nationals you've you've

736
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:21,480
gotten open for?

737
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:23,639
Speaker 14: Well, I mean this one's not weird, but Steve Earl

738
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,519

00:39:42,039 --> 00:39:42,480
lot of fun.

746
00:39:42,599 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:48,119
Speaker 16: Loading lock my shotguse got those bay.

826
00:45:52,400 --> 00:46:06,159
Speaker 20: Man, I love it Ballroom Bender Blues.

827
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 3: The band is Modern Fools, and we've got Josh and

828
00:46:09,519 --> 00:46:12,000
John from the band here with us in studio on

829
00:46:12,199 --> 00:46:16,320
this Saturday morning here on Matt Connorton Unleashed and now

830
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,000
it's definitely got that live vibe. Well, especially at the

831
00:46:19,079 --> 00:46:21,000
end of course when you hear live people.

832
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, yeah. We wanted to be like those old

833
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,800
like Hank Williams records where you got a hoot and

834
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,079
holler and yeah, it's like all his buddies are in

835
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:29,440
the room.

836
00:46:29,679 --> 00:46:33,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's very cool. You definitely you definitely captured that. Hey,

837
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:35,199
by the way, where does the name come from? Modern Fools?

838
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,159
What's the meaning?

839
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's not very deep really. The original logo that

840
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,079
we had was the waffle house logo, you know, like

841
00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:47,159
the sign is just like the big sign with the letters,

842
00:46:47,199 --> 00:46:51,239
and I don't know, initially it was just I knew

843
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,559
I wanted that sign to be the logo, so I

844
00:46:53,639 --> 00:46:57,079
was figuring out different letters that fit within that sign. Okay,

845
00:46:57,639 --> 00:46:58,719
that's that's pretty much it.

846
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 14: Oh okay, And then over the last few years we've

847
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,400
really grown into the name.

848
00:47:02,679 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 3: So really absolutely for sure, there you go, there you go.

849
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,119
Are you guys already obviously you know this this EP

850
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,800
is just about to come out, But are you already

851
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,559
working on new stuff? You strike me as guys, you

852
00:47:14,639 --> 00:47:15,719
probably have a lot of ideas.

853
00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:18,199
Speaker 13: Definitely, there's there's some stuff in the works. I think

854
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,280
we're gonna start putting their nose at the grindstone very soon.

855
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,679
And yep, that's the next thing we've got.

856
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 14: We've got hopefully some covers that we're gonna be dropping

857
00:47:28,599 --> 00:47:32,519
over the over the next few months. Josh has had

858
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,039
a tumultuous twenty twenty four that that led to some

859
00:47:36,199 --> 00:47:39,480
songs coming out, so uh so we're gonna be working

860
00:47:39,519 --> 00:47:42,199
on some demos of that too, hopefully hopefully some new

861
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,480
music coming out in the fallish.

862
00:47:43,599 --> 00:47:46,599
Speaker 13: Ye, we're doing a Midwestern emo kind of thing for sure.

863
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 14: Oh my god, just kidding, but we just do like

864
00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:54,000
full switch arounds every time you're do an album.

865
00:47:55,159 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 13: I don't mind that though. I like, there's some bands

866
00:47:57,039 --> 00:47:59,559
out there that do that. There's just like one album

867
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:02,280
like a punk album for no reason, and the next

868
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,280
one is a country album.

869
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 14: You oh yeah, like you're long for the Red.

870
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 13: Daniel Romano is one of those.

871
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:09,519
Speaker 14: Yeah.

872
00:48:10,159 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 3: Well even you know, last week we had Slim Volume,

873
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,199
and you know, we're talking about the difference and the

874
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,199
two EPs that they released, and you know, even they

875
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,599
kind of went for a different not drastically different, you know,

876
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,079
but kind of different vibes with each EP.

877
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 14: I mean, at the end of the day, it's still

878
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,880
the same guys playing the same instruments, right Like, so, yeah,

879
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,320
you only get so much variation, right.

880
00:48:33,519 --> 00:48:35,199
Speaker 13: Well, we all we thought we'd jump on the train

881
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,400
with Post Malone and Beyonce doing country albums. So here

882
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:39,599
you go. Why can't wait?

883
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,519
Speaker 3: That's your real inspiration, right post Malone and beyond That's it.

884
00:48:45,519 --> 00:48:48,239
