00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,800
If I sound a little nervous, I apologize in advance.

29
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:24,399

the camera onto on uh on, casey, Casey Darren here

33
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:35,920
because uh, you look a little bit different than the

34
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,240
last time I saw you, and you appear to have

35
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,279
gone through some sort of transition. Shall we say if

36
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:45,079
I can use that term? Oh wait, wait a second,

37
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,120
I can't. Oh, I see why I apologize. Please don't

38
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:52,839
don't bite me, don't bite my neck. There we go.

39
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: I've got to say, I've got to be honest. Heer.

40
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,879
Speaker 7: Yes, this is legitimately terrifying.

41
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: You can hear me now out in the space waves,

42
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:03,399
we can.

43
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:05,519
Speaker 7: We can hear you. There's no need to do anything

44
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:06,600
anything rash.

45
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,399
Speaker 1: Well, yes, since the last time that I was here

46
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,920
in the studio, you you see, I did go through

47
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,120
some major changes.

48
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: The whole band did.

49
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, you know we are in the studio

50
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,680
for months on end up in rural Maine, and very

51
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,240
few people know this, but in Maine there's actually a

52
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,120
large community of vampires. We got to meet them, we

53
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,879
got to go into their camp, and after some a

54
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,160
few days in Maine, we actually became vampires. You see,

55
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:47,000
we got bit in and we are now undead and

56
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:49,480
this is something that we kind of have to live with.

57
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: Now.

58
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,399
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sorry, Let me go and introduce your partner in.

59
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,079
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, he's never been here before. But this is

60
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:02,199
my younger brother, Killian. He's got a very good vampire name,

61
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,759
count Killian.

62
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,199
Speaker 2: Over here.

63
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 7: That is a good vampire name. Yeah, go ahead, Killian. Yeah.

64
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 8: The thing is the rest of the band, We're all fine.

65
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,560
He's the only one choosing to dress up this way, and.

66
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: That's not true when you turn into a vampire. This

67
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:18,160
is what happens.

68
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 8: It's not the it's not his dress. It's the only

69
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:22,480
thing he's been acting different.

70
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 7: Uh huh.

71
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 8: Last night he had a garlic knot and he's crying

72
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:27,480
in the bathroom for like an hour.

73
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 7: Well I can see how that would be upsetting in

74
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,079
a sense. Wow. Okay, so so you but you have

75
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,959
also Killian. You are also a vampire now, Yes, because

76
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560
you are kind of pale. I'm usually the most pale

77
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,759
person in the room, but you do have you have

78
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:43,759
very light skin, sir.

79
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,319
Speaker 1: It's probably just the Irish blood in him.

80
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:49,879
Speaker 7: Oh okay, I see, I see. Wow, Well is the

81
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:52,040
still Irish blood? I mean he's a vampire. Now, well

82
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:52,879
how does that work?

83
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,879
Speaker 1: You know, we we still got we have were many

84
00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:01,560
different types of blood in us. Well, yes, just you

85
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,079
know the nature of being a vampire, we do partake

86
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:09,959
in the delicious offerings of blood. So yes, he's got

87
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:12,759
the little Irish blood in him. He met a man

88
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:17,079
named Patrick o'hannagan last week. That's where that comes from.

89
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,759
Speaker 7: So I see, now that makes sense. What is it

90
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,040
about Maine? It should? Should people not go to Maine?

91
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,199
You know, we've had guests here on the show who

92
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,160
are musicians from the state of Maine. And now I'm

93
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,720
concerned I may have put myself in Jenny in danger.

94
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:33,879
Could they have been vampires and we didn't know it

95
00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:35,680
as the entire state of Maine vampires? I mean, what

96
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,480
what's the situation?

97
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,439
Speaker 1: And no, it's it's very locked up. It's a locked

98
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,160
up community. We actually happened to just stumble upon it.

99
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:45,480
You know, being up in the studio. It's just one

100
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:47,639
of those things that kind of happened. Not many people

101
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,319
know about it, but we stumbled upon it and now

102
00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:53,839
here we are today. So you don't have to worry. Okay,

103
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,319
but you know, if you do smell something a little funky,

104
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,480
just you know, don't walk towards it, because that's what

105
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:02,199
Killian did.

106
00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:03,199
Speaker 2: And now look at us.

107
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 7: Now, Oh okay, So since Killian's fault, I would say,

108
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,839
I would say, okay, any any misconceptions. I mean, you

109
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,800
you guys are out in the daylight to come here.

110
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:14,639
I mean, how does that work?

111
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,079
Speaker 1: Well, we were packaged in a cardboard box on the

112
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,079
way here, we were driven in. I've actually we've been

113
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:24,000
up since eight o'clock last night, so were we are

114
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,759
giving you some extra daylight hours today being here. We

115
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:32,279
are very tired. We are you know, it has been difficult,

116
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,320
but we are here and we are happy to be here.

117
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,759
Speaker 7: And I assume you were SPF one hundred sunscreen in

118
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:39,919
this situation, the.

119
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Situation like this, Yes, it was a little nerve wracking

120
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,759
coming into the studio. Yes, being transported out of the

121
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,159
cardboard box and into the studio was a little nerve racking.

122
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: So yes, we did leather up this morning, that is true.

123
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:54,879
Speaker 7: Okay, No, that makes sense, that makes sense. We want

124
00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:58,279
you to be I want you to be healthy. Now,

125
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,759
So how does this relate? Like, did the song and

126
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,919
the video come about? I mean, obviously the video came

127
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:08,039
about post transformation? What about the song Sunrise?

128
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I wrote the song Sunrise about three years ago. It

129
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:16,720
is a song about just, you know, being in darkness

130
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,360
and wanting to find the light and really wishing that

131
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:23,879
you weren't always in darkness. Something about vampires is that

132
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,480
we we live much of our life in darkness.

133
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:26,759
Speaker 5: Yes.

134
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: I think many people vampire or not live their life

135
00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:32,720
with some darkness in their life. Yes, And I think

136
00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:34,799
that the message of the song it was just me

137
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:39,279
trying to express that I wanted to find the light

138
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:41,720
and I knew that there was some light deep within me.

139
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,279
Speaker 3: Yes.

140
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,759
Speaker 2: But yes, it was.

141
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: Written pre vampire transformation, and I found that the transfer,

142
00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:51,600
the transformation into vampire just worked very well.

143
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 7: Oh good it did it?

144
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: Did? It matched the message of the song very well.

145
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:59,919
Speaker 7: Well, that's that's good, very convenient, I would say, yes, Yeah,

146
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,960
Jenny was saying in the chat room, she woke up

147
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,799
with the song in her head this morning. Because it's very,

148
00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:05,360
very catchy.

149
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: We did try to make it a little hypnotic, that

150
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:08,600
is true.

151
00:10:08,759 --> 00:10:12,279
Speaker 7: Yes, oh yeah, I understand that. Yes, I was tapping along.

152
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,440
You probably saw I couldn't couldn't help it. I couldn't

153
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:14,679
help it.

154
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,879
Speaker 2: That could have been just because I was looking at you.

155
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 7: Well, that might be I can do that might be

156
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,159
as well. And I have to say I'm a little anxious.

157
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,639
I mean, you know, you tell me I'm not in

158
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,679
any danger. But you know, I've never had a vampire

159
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,159
on the show before. Vampires.

160
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:30,519
Speaker 1: If we get hungry, Killian will be but the first

161
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,120
to dive in, so I will try to hold him back.

162
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: Killian is feisty.

163
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 7: I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Yes, yes, now, Killian.

164
00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:41,200
What what's your role on the on the track or

165
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,720
on the band?

166
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 8: I play a bass and backup vocals.

167
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,399
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, very good. Now are you are you a

168
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,919
permanent member of Soda?

169
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:51,039
Speaker 2: I am a permanent member.

170
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 7: Excellent, excellent, Okay, So, because this is I know this

171
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,440
is your first time on the show with us, but

172
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,200
obviously you know we've been playing your music for a

173
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,720
few years. You know, case. He's been on you know,

174
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,440
pre vampiric era. He's been on the show a bunch

175
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,080
of times. But yeah, so it's great to finally meet you.

176
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:09,960
I mean, I hope you don't, you know, buy my neck.

177
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,279
But it's wonderful to meet you finally.

178
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,519
Speaker 2: Nice to be you too.

179
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,639
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, and the whole band is vampires.

180
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: Now we've all done into vampires. The other two they

181
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,360
were too afraid to come out in the daylight. I

182
00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:22,480
had to convince my younger brother to be here, and

183
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,679
he is happy to be here.

184
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:24,279
Speaker 2: I have to say.

185
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: He's a wonderful bass player, as you see in the

186
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:29,720
music video, actually learned how to play the upright bass. Yes,

187
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,120
he is phenomenal. He's a great musician, and it is

188
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,080
an honor to have him in the band. He's been

189
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,440
in the band from the very beginning. Yes, this Sunrise

190
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:43,240
is actually the first track that he recorded bass on,

191
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,120
which is it's very cool if you listen to the

192
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:45,799
bass lines.

193
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: He did a very good job, oh yeah, recording his lines.

194
00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 7: Oh I noticed. Yeah, I'm a bass player myself, so

195
00:11:51,039 --> 00:11:53,799
I noticed that. So in the video, you're you're playing

196
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:55,720
an upright bas is that do you do? You actually

197
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,159
play an upright bass.

198
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,399
Speaker 8: In high school, I played in orchestra, so I played

199
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:02,879
a little bit of upright but it's not my main Yeah.

200
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,039
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've always I've always been kind of fascinated, but

201
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,879
I've never even attempted to play it up upright base.

202
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,559
But it looks awkward. It looks very awkward to me. Yeah,

203
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,279
takes some time to learn them. I'm sure. Very cool.

204
00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:16,480
Now is this?

205
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:16,879
Speaker 3: Uh?

206
00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:18,879
Speaker 7: Is this track part of an album or is it

207
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:19,720
just a single?

208
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,039
Speaker 2: Or but it is a standalone single.

209
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: We do have more tracks coming, but they are also

210
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,120
different in nature that we we didn't think that they

211
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,440
fit together in a cohesive EP or LP formats. Yes,

212
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,960
this is a stand alone single.

213
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,799
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, very good, very good. Now what what else?

214
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:39,879
What are you?

215
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: Oh?

216
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 7: No, do vampires get sick? How does that work?

217
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: If not?

218
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:44,919
Speaker 7: It is it allergies?

219
00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: With the blood in the back of my throat this

220
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,559
gravity voice, it does great on my vocal cord.

221
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 7: Oh, I see, I didn't know if it was you know,

222
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,639
there's a lot of pollen. I didn't know if vampires

223
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,240
are susceptible to allergies.

224
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: No, sir, no, sir, it is this. This is a

225
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,000
side effect of having this new gravelly voice.

226
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,639
Speaker 7: I see. Do vampires have allergies at all?

227
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:04,799
Speaker 3: We can?

228
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:05,919
Speaker 2: Okay, we do.

229
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: We are allergic to garlic. We are allergic to silver.

230
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,159
We don't like silver. No, so if there is any

231
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,600
silver jewelry in this room, please we ask you to

232
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,639
kind of take it off.

233
00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 7: I can't wear jewelry. I'm allergic. That's interesting.

234
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually you're did you just say you are allergic

235
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:22,639
to silver?

236
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 7: Yeah?

237
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: Is there something we do not know about you?

238
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 7: I can't. I've never been able to wear a silver jewelry.

239
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:30,320
I am allergic to me.

240
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,919
Speaker 1: Interesting. I suspect that you might have some sort of

241
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,279
vampire lineage in your family somewhere down the lines.

242
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 7: Possible. I mean I am quite pale.

243
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: Well that that could just be the other lineage, but

244
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,279
we won't talk about.

245
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 7: I mean, if you ever seen me with a tan,

246
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:45,039
it's fake.

247
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: U spray tan. H.

248
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 7: I rubbed some stuff in make me a little less pale.

249
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: I was thinking about doing that, but I broke out,

250
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,159
so I had to.

251
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,159
Speaker 2: I had to stop.

252
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 7: I can see where that would be that would be

253
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,600
a problem. Yes, yes, so this just came out yesterday, correct.

254
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:02,519
Speaker 1: Yes, yesterday on Friday the thirteen.

255
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 7: How fortuneous it worked out perfectly? I must say, yes, yes,

256
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:12,559
And where did you shoot the video? I'm really curious

257
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:13,919
about the video, Gillian.

258
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,799
Speaker 2: Why don't you tell Matt Connorton where we shot the video.

259
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 8: We went to a castle in Wyndham, New Hampshire.

260
00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:21,559
Speaker 7: Okay.

261
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 8: We also went to a chapel and then we filmed

262
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,159
some of the dream sequences you'll see. We went to

263
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:28,879
Hampton Beach.

264
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:29,639
Speaker 7: Okay.

265
00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:30,879
Speaker 8: We got a lot of looks.

266
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:31,519
Speaker 2: Definitely.

267
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,759
Speaker 7: Oh, I can imagine. Yeah.

268
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:33,159
Speaker 3: Yeah.

269
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,799
Speaker 1: The Hampton Beach goers do not take kindly to vampires.

270
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,480
They are more of a Jersey Shore type of crowd,

271
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,879
and they do not like the vampires.

272
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:44,159
Speaker 7: What do you think it is? You think they're just

273
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:45,960
afraid you're gonna like going into the water and bite

274
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,759
them or something or what.

275
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:49,519
Speaker 1: I think they're judgmental, Matt. I think that they are

276
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:53,039
very judgmental to our kind, and I do not appreciate it.

277
00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 7: I don't blame you. I wouldn't appreciate that either. Wow, Okay,

278
00:14:57,679 --> 00:14:59,080
I mean I have kind of a similar thing if

279
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,440
I go to the beach and go on water, but

280
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,759
that's more just because I have body hair.

281
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,399
Speaker 1: Oh, tell you about body hair. I might be part

282
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:08,120
wear a wolf as well, because I have got a

283
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,639
thick coat.

284
00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: Of for on my chest.

285
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 7: Well that makes you a double threat, I would say,

286
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,039
so yeah, wow, wow how about you, Killian, Are you

287
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,600
also potentially a werewolf?

288
00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Not as far as I know.

289
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 8: I also, we didn't, we didn't develop an accent. When

290
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:27,639
you get bit, you just turn into a vampire. But

291
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:30,320
you don't actually have to talk. This is just something

292
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,320
that he's taken too seriously.

293
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,519
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think that is the case.

294
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:36,879
I am a vampire. This is what vampires do. We

295
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,480
all know that this is what happened when you get bitten.

296
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 7: Well, I think so are you. I feel like you're

297
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,879
you're being a little judgmental of Killian, like because he's not.

298
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,080
He's not embracing his new identity as you are.

299
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:52,879
Speaker 1: This is not an identity.

300
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,679
Speaker 3: This is who I am.

301
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: This is just what happened. And I don't understand. He's

302
00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:59,480
over here and he's pretending like this is not something.

303
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,320
I I this cloak, it just appeared on me one day.

304
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,200
He says that I'm choosing to wear this.

305
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 3: That is not true.

306
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, well, perhaps it'll just appear on him. I mean,

307
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,360
perhaps he's perhaps it takes longer with something with others

308
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,120
to become fully vampiric. If that is a word, I.

309
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Think it is saying that I'm sorry. You have to

310
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,000
stop saying that I am not the vampire.

311
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 7: Oh, be careful, they're they're you. Uh you know, I mean,

312
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:27,919
people are going to start to wonder if you're really

313
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:30,360
a vampire. You keep I am a vampire. I understand

314
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,600
the vampire, Matt, I understand me angry. I know I

315
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:37,279
could feel you reading my thoughts earlier. The empires can

316
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:37,519
do that.

317
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: Yes, some of those we are not allowed to repeat.

318
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 7: There, you know again, just very fearful. But uh no,

319
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:46,399
I'll mind my p's and q's. So uh let's see. So,

320
00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:48,919
for those who don't know the band, where does the

321
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,720
name come from? I know we've talked about it before,

322
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,320
but for the uninitiated.

323
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,159
Speaker 1: Yes, for the for these new Sota listeners, our name

324
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:00,200
comes from the story of the poison water. Okay, so

325
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,440
back in old ancient times, if you were if you

326
00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:07,920
were thought to have committed adultery against your significant other,

327
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,160
you would go to the trial of poison water, and

328
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:14,079
if you drank the poison water and you died, you

329
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,039
were an adulterer.

330
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 7: Seems like an oe situation.

331
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:20,079
Speaker 1: Well, if you did drink the poison water and you survived,

332
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,720
you were not an adulterer. Very few survived, so there

333
00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:26,880
were a lot of these people that they dubbed Sota.

334
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:30,079
Sota is a person who was an adulterer, and it

335
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,839
was the trial of poison water. Sota is the trial

336
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,839
of poison water.

337
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 7: Oh, I see, yeah, I see.

338
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: And I just guess that at the time when I

339
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:41,559
made the band, it fell into place. We wrote the

340
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,240
song Sota, and I had the phrase in my head.

341
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:47,160
Maybe there was some vampire equality in me back then

342
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,839
as well, because I heard the phrase poison the water,

343
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,599
poison the water, and I loved that phrase. So I

344
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,079
wrote a song around that, and then I looked it

345
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,240
up on Google. Yes, vampires do use Google, but back

346
00:17:58,319 --> 00:18:01,319
then I was not a vampire. Anyways, beside the point,

347
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,680
I looked it up on Google, poison the Water, and

348
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:06,000
then I saw Saulta, and I said, Sulta is a

349
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:09,119
beautiful name. Yes, And I looked up on Spotify and

350
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,079
there was no Sulta, So I said, that is our name.

351
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 7: Okay, Oh, very good, very good.

352
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:16,799
Speaker 3: If you don't any kind of like you know.

353
00:18:16,839 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 7: You mentioned you might have like maybe have some vampiric

354
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:21,039
lineage of have you done like twenty three and me

355
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:21,799
or anything like that.

356
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,519
Speaker 2: I have not done twenty three in me yet?

357
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: Have you done that?

358
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: Killian? I not Yeah, I've looked on ancestry, but no,

359
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,400
from where where do we come from?

360
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,079
Speaker 8: We come from Londonderry in Hampshire certainly not Transylvania.

361
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:36,039
Speaker 7: Are you sure?

362
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: Okay?

363
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: Just because I come from that, just because I come.

364
00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:41,319
Speaker 2: From London there, it doesn't mean that I don't.

365
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: I don't talk like this. I am getting very irritated

366
00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:46,680
with my younger brother.

367
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,079
Speaker 7: Yes, I can see that. I can see that. Well

368
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,200
I would have say, you know too, just because you're

369
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,640
from Londonderry, it doesn't mean you couldn't have visited Maine

370
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,240
and become a vampire.

371
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Killian a lot of opinions. We'll leave

372
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:01,480
it at that.

373
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 7: I mean, because if you think about it, if you're

374
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:07,400
in New Hampshire, the odds of you of even visiting

375
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,640
Maine are much higher than say, if you were in Transylvania.

376
00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:12,319
If you were from Transylvania, you'd probably never go to

377
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,960
Maine so it's true.

378
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:14,799
Speaker 2: It's true.

379
00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 7: I don't know.

380
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:17,079
Speaker 1: I think the people up in Maine that we met,

381
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,119
I do think that they came from Transylvania.

382
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,519
Speaker 2: But in the olden times. I see in olden times,

383
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:22,039
and they do.

384
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,799
Speaker 1: Live in the shadows, you know, they live in the woods,

385
00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:25,720
they live in the caves.

386
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,519
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know why we ventured that way out there. Again,

387
00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:30,880
I'd like to blame it on Killian.

388
00:19:31,599 --> 00:19:35,279
Speaker 7: Now as your your transformation or apotheosis, I'm not even

389
00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:37,359
sure what the right term for this is, so forgive me.

390
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,799
Does this affect how you perform on stage?

391
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,759
Speaker 1: Funny enough? No, When I sing, I sing completely normal,

392
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:47,680
and when I talk on stage, this all goes away.

393
00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:49,440
And in fact, let me tell you so much that

394
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:52,759
when I perform on stage, for some reason, the cloak disappears,

395
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:54,759
and then I'm back into my plaid suits with my

396
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,799
fun thighs. I don't know what happens. It just seems

397
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,440
to me that I own turn into a vampire promotional appearances. Okay,

398
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,160
I do not under quite understand what that is all about,

399
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:09,119
but take that for what you will.

400
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 7: But that saves your time on wardrobe changes, right, because

401
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,000
if things disappear and disappear. You don't have to, like,

402
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,079
you know, get into anything.

403
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: It makes it for you. It makes for less confusion

404
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:20,960
on stage for sure. I do not have to explain

405
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,680
to the audience that no, we are not a ghost

406
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,680
to rip off, we are not a ghost cover band,

407
00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:29,480
because they it just disappears as I appear on stage.

408
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,519
So it works out very well. It's only in appearances

409
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:35,680
like this with you, Matt Connorton, that I turn into

410
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:40,240
a vampire. Wow, I can't explain, explain.

411
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,839
Speaker 7: I'm getting very I think I'm having a panic attack.

412
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,759
To be honest with you. Maybe now's a good time

413
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:47,599
to play a song. You want to play a song

414
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,200
you love.

415
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:48,799
Speaker 2: To play you a song.

416
00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: And it's funny that you brought up the name of Soto,

417
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,680
because I think that that would be a wonderful song

418
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,519
for us to play for your audience today.

419
00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 7: Oh, okay, okay, wonderful. Let's see. So we've got that

420
00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:02,880
guitar plugged in. Let's see if I got a level

421
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:10,920
on that. Oh that sounds nice. Guitar sounds great and killy.

422
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,319
And do you sing also or do you do you

423
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:12,960
only play?

424
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 8: I do some background vocals in some of our songs. Okay,

425
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,960
and I sing outside of it, but.

426
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 7: Oh, excellent, excellent. Well I think this is uh. I

427
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:25,200
think we're ready dying to hear you. I don't mean,

428
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,400
I didn't mean to put it that way. I'm eager

429
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:28,200
to hear you.

430
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: Guys. I'm dying.

431
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, No, I'm not dying too, but we're dying right. No, Well,

432
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:37,400
you're you're dead or you're undead. I don't know. I

433
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,440
don't know how this works.

434
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,799
Speaker 2: It's okay, neither do I.

435
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, well this is new to you. Very good.

436
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 9: So yeah, guys, I'm I'm anxious to hear you play

437
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,039
live all right. Let we'll drop the voice and we

438
00:21:49,079 --> 00:21:51,079
will play you a song. This is a song called

439
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:53,599
Sota by a band called Sota.

440
00:21:53,799 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 7: All Right.

441
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,839
Speaker 6: A web alize can be hard to keep track of.

442
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:14,680
You're in your head and you spinning your fortune. It's

443
00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:17,920
not enough to know you've got them mal tricked. You're

444
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,839
tangled up, ben It makes them so sick. One step

445
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,480
and you've lost your footing and now you don't even

446
00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:26,920
know who you're hurting.

447
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,039
Speaker 3: It could be them, it could be you. What does

448
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,680
your heart tell you to do?

449
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,240

00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:10,279

454
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:16,039
not like a dude. Looking back, the water was clean.

455
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:20,640

Speaker 1: Alive and I'm dead at the same time.

474
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 7: Yes, I didn't even think of that as I was

475
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,000
saying it. Forgive me if I seemed distracted. I was

476
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,480
rummaging through my bag, see if I had like an

477
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:10,319
old crucifix in there or something. I thought, I don't

478
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:11,319
get that out of the beer.

479
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,319
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, I just, you know, just don't even

481
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,000

Speaker 7: I didn't know, you know, I just uh, you know.

483
00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:22,519
I mean, hopefully you guys can control yourselves. I mean,

484
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,880
you know, you're trying our best.

485
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,079
Speaker 1: We are up very late, we are tired, we are

486
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,240
getting famished. We'll see if you survive by the end

487
00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:30,720
of the scene.

488
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,759
Speaker 7: So so, vampires do get tired, so I wasn't try that.

489
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:36,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean we we are undead, but we

490
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,640
are not that different from humans. Yes we drink blood.

491
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,039
Yes we do not like guarlic. But we get tired, right, Killy,

492
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,160
and tell them about that time that one time you

493
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:47,319
got so tired you beat the head off of a cow.

494
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,319
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, tell us about that, Killy, And I am curious.

495
00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:54,599
Speaker 8: I pulled an all nighter, as vampires do.

496
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was in the morning.

497
00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 8: We were tired, and the only thing that was around

498
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:01,440
me it was a cow.

499
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know the end of the story.

500
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,759
Speaker 7: Right, Is that a vampire thing or is this just

501
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:08,079
something you do while you're in Maine?

502
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 2: Well, we do.

503
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,319
Speaker 1: I think the mainers they do like cow tipping. We

504
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,319
do it a little differently. But I don't know that

505
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,279
we want to talk about that on air because it

506
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,400
is a little graphic.

507
00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 7: It sounds grizzly.

508
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: It is grizzly, that is for certain.

509
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, wow, well, very exciting, very exciting. Now are

510
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,359
you guys playing a lot of shows? Have you been

511
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,400
touring or what's the situation there?

512
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: We have been quite busy.

513
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:36,039
Speaker 1: We have been playing about a show locally per month

514
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,319
the past six months.

515
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:37,599
Speaker 7: Oh.

516
00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:41,799
Speaker 1: With the excitement of the release of our song Sunrise,

517
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,240
we decided to take a step back.

518
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,599
Speaker 2: We did not do a show in the month of June.

519
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: However, we are doing a very exciting release party for

520
00:26:51,799 --> 00:26:55,240
the single next month at the Shascine in Chester, New Hampshire.

521
00:26:55,519 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 5: Oh.

522
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: It is dubbed cute fun Music for cute fun people.

523
00:26:59,599 --> 00:26:59,799
Speaker 7: Oh.

524
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,839
Speaker 1: We have got a mix of hardcore punk bands, metal

525
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,000
bands us.

526
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: It is going to be a cute fun time and

527
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:08,920
we are very excited.

528
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 7: Oh, very good. What's the that's in July.

529
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, July seventeenth. There's five dollars at the door,

530
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,480
and so for a cheap time. It is a cheap time,

531
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:22,920
and you can have a cheap date with us, Sota,

532
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:25,920
and I promise you we will try not to scare you,

533
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,440
because I do think, like I said, we probably will

534
00:27:28,519 --> 00:27:31,240
not be donned in this attire at that point.

535
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, yeah, I don't know if like you need

536
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,119
like special zoning for that. If you're doing the Irish.

537
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:41,759
Speaker 1: Pubs, they do not take kindly to vampires. I'll tell

538
00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:44,160
you what. There is a for some reason, a very

539
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:46,720
large Catholic presence in the Irish pubs.

540
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 7: Oh see.

541
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: We try to, you know, subvert that, and we try

542
00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:52,960
to sneak in and blend in with the crowd.

543
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, I completely understand. Now who else is on

544
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,480
the show with you? Do you recall off in?

545
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: Yes, we have Bastard Curse Trading tombstones.

546
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 7: I love them.

547
00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: Yes, they are phenomenal. Yes, and Paint the Town Dead.

548
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,039
So it goes very well under dead theme. But like

549
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,960
I said, it is all cute fun music.

550
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,279
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, Paint the Town Dead. That's a cool name.

551
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: Yes, they're actually they were a band that was formed

552
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:23,720
twenty years ago in our hometown of Londonderry in New Hampshire,

553
00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:26,319
and they broke up twenty years ago and for the

554
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,680
first time ever, they are actually playing tonight in Londonderry

555
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,559
in New Hampshire and they're coming back next month to

556
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,279
play with us.

557
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 2: Oh, we're very excited. It's the reunion of Paint the Town.

558
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,319
Speaker 7: Wow after twenty years. For twenty years, that's amazing. Yes,

559
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:45,519
that is amazing. Now do you want to talk it

560
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:48,680
all about what else you've been doing outside of soda?

561
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh? Sure, sure, Yes. My last year was very busy.

562
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,119
Before I had gotten turned into a vampire. I was

563
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,200
on tour with The Defiant, which is a supergroup of

564
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,759
phenomenal punk musicians. It is Dicky Barrett of the Mighty

565
00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:07,240
Mighty Balls Stones, We have Greg Camp of smash Mouth,

566
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:12,079
Pete Parata formerly of The Offspring, Joey Laraka from The Briggs,

567
00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:15,319
and did I mention Johnny Rio of Street Dogs?

568
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:15,559
Speaker 2: Yet?

569
00:29:16,359 --> 00:29:20,759
Speaker 1: Johnny Rio of Street Dogs a wonderful, really cool punk band.

570
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,359
We did a tour last year with me first in

571
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,880
the Gimmy gimmeis Oh Okay. In this past December, we

572
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,599
went out on a West Coast tour with Social Distortion,

573
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:32,279
and I don't do much for the band. I made

574
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:34,440
some of their music videos. I am their merch guy.

575
00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:38,319
I helped them roadying, so it's not like I'm front

576
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,720
and center. But I do enjoy my time with the Defiant.

577
00:29:42,759 --> 00:29:45,599
They treat me well and it is very fun being

578
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,359
in the professional world of music on the road.

579
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 7: Yes, that's exciting. Are you. Are you concerned at all

580
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,559
like when you when you go out on the road

581
00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:56,720
with them in the future, like if you because obviously

582
00:29:57,519 --> 00:29:59,799
in terms of in your new forum, I mean what

583
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:02,720
you like what you can eat on the road changes, right,

584
00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:03,640
like you.

585
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: Can't have pizza quite often.

586
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: But I am hoping to find some sort of cure

587
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:11,119
by the end of this promotional cycle of Sunrise.

588
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,319
Speaker 2: I'm really hoping that that can turn back into my

589
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,279
human form.

590
00:30:14,359 --> 00:30:16,079
Speaker 7: Yeah, because otherwise you'll be out on the road and

591
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,160
you'll have to like go, like when everyone else is

592
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,319
eating at a restaurant, you go into the woods or something.

593
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: Try it won't work. It just won't work. So I

594
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:25,119
am really hoping that by some stroke of luck, by

595
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,160
the end of the rollout of Sunrise, I will no

596
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:29,200
longer be it won't work for our band. I got

597
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:31,680
to tell you, we have songs that being a vampire

598
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,440
just it just does not make sense.

599
00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:33,759
Speaker 7: Yeah.

600
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: So I am hoping that we can find some sort

601
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:40,240
of remedy for this disease that we have been inflicted with.

602
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, Now what about you, Killian? Did you

603
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,160
intend to also seek a cureate? It seems to have

604
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:49,359
affected you quite differently, and by that I mean very little.

605
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,079
Speaker 8: Yeah, have you it affects me obviously? Obviously I have

606
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,279
to stay away from the sun, but yeah I don't.

607
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,440
It doesn't affect what I wear or definitely not my voice.

608
00:31:01,079 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like got the higher strain of it.

609
00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, well that can happen.

610
00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:07,599
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, he doesn't know.

611
00:31:07,839 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I mean that can happen. Yeah yeah. So yeah.

612
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:14,319
So so I didn't know that you could even cure this.

613
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:16,440
I didn't think it was like I thought it was

614
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,160
like a permanent thing, like once you're a empire, it's

615
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,799
like eternal, right, because don't you live forever?

616
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: That that that's what they say.

617
00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: But I did hear that from a marketing standpoint, that

618
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:27,839
it does not look too good to be a vampire.

619
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,480
And a band, especially when you're in a ska band.

620
00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:34,200
So from a marketing standpoint, I'm really hoping that there.

621
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 7: Is a yes, yes, Well, I hope you can find something.

622
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,920
I mean, you know, the medical technology today is remarkable,

623
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,640
it's incredible.

624
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: I got to tell you some of these doctors that

625
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:44,200
we had back in the eighteen hundreds, they did not

626
00:31:44,359 --> 00:31:47,640
do it. But nowadays it is not much better, but

627
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:49,039
it is eighties somewhat better.

628
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,359
Speaker 7: I just thought of something. Doesn't what about what Keith

629
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,319
Richards does, because doesn't he have like a full Maybe

630
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:58,039
this is urban legend, but I've heard that he has

631
00:31:58,119 --> 00:31:59,680
like a full blood transfusion.

632
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:02,519
Speaker 1: He did do a blood transfusion, and we do our

633
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:06,480
morning blood transfusions. It helps us very well. You know,

634
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:09,079
we get the blood of our neighbors and whoever else

635
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:09,680
is in the area.

636
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 7: No, I understand, But by transfusion, I don't mean like

637
00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:14,079
you know, when you have to feed, I mean like

638
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,519
an actual like you know, take all the blood out,

639
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:18,160
put new blood in, or however it works.

640
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,119
Speaker 1: I think I might want to go and have a

641
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,680
blood transfusion. Shortly after this interview wraps up, Matt Connort.

642
00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I meant doesn't mean click no, no, no,

643
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,720
I'm meant like a medical procedure.

644
00:32:27,799 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know it's extrectly medical here.

645
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:33,039
Speaker 7: I don't you know, I mean there's look. I mean

646
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:36,359
we can't. We can't stay in the studio here with blood.

647
00:32:36,359 --> 00:32:37,000
I'll get in trouble.

648
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:39,359
Speaker 1: I know these white walls, but I so noticed up

649
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,920
on the walls you have these soundproof boards and they

650
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,799
are red. So I might take a couple of those.

651
00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:46,079
I mean, we do have red carpets, so it might

652
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,440
not be as bad as you think. Matt Connor, I can,

653
00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:48,920
I mean, I.

654
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 7: Can recommend somewhere you can go to, uh, you know feed.

655
00:32:55,079 --> 00:32:55,759
Speaker 3: Will you be there?

656
00:32:56,039 --> 00:32:56,079
Speaker 5: No?

657
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 7: Well, we have you know, woods, and I'm sure there's wildlife,

658
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,960
maybe an elk or something. We're in the.

659
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,279
Speaker 1: Middle of Manchester. This is a city. I don't I don't.

660
00:33:04,319 --> 00:33:06,480
I don't know about that. I think I'm I'm getting

661
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:08,799
hungry and I want to feed soon. Well, I don't

662
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,279
want to go on the trip into the woods.

663
00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 7: Well, this is very worrisome. Would you guys like to

664
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,440
play another song? Maybe maybe you can, maybe you can sayciate.

665
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,319
Speaker 1: Yes, maybe maybe so calm me down.

666
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 7: Oh, perhaps yes.

667
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,079
Speaker 1: I'd like to perform a song for you. This is

668
00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:24,759
a cover by a band Ghost. Everyone has been telling

669
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,039
us lately, we remind me the we remind them of Ghost.

670
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,119
Speaker 2: I do not understand the comparison. I really do not.

671
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:35,680
Some say that this is a gimmick. I say, this

672
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:36,519
is just life.

673
00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: But we are going to play a song. This is

674
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,200
a song about depression. It fits very well with the

675
00:33:42,319 --> 00:33:44,759
darkness of sunrise. This is a song called if you.

676
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,279
Speaker 2: Have Ghosts a right.

677
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: You have got.

678
00:33:57,319 --> 00:34:05,799
Speaker 3: You have everything. If you have gold, you have everything.

679
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:12,679
Speaker 6: You can say anything you want, and you can do

680
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:18,719
anything you want to do. If you have gold, you

681
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:34,559
have everything. One never does that. One never does that.

682
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,480
You can call it surprise. There it is, and a

683
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:52,119
part of me is me. One never does that. In

684
00:34:52,280 --> 00:35:01,519
the night, I am real. In the ninet I am read.

685
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 3: The moons of the Left is a part of my thoughts,

686
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:11,960
and a part of me is me. Forever is the

687
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:15,400
wind in the nine I am read.

688
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:33,079
Speaker 1: Now this next part I will talk about my vampire equalities.

689
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:37,000
I will talk a little bit about the physical essence

690
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000
of being a vampire.

691
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:48,039
Speaker 10: And it goes something a little like this. I don't

692
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:56,920
one my thanks too long. I don't one my thanks

693
00:35:57,039 --> 00:36:02,639
to long. The boots of the Left is a part

694
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,199
of my thoughts and a part of me is me.

695
00:36:06,639 --> 00:36:10,960
Wherever is the wind in the nine I am read.

696
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:21,679
If you have gold, you have everything. If you have gold,

697
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:31,119
you have everything. If you have gold lo load, you

698
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:40,599
have everything. If you have gold lo load you have everything.

699
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 7: Oh my god, that was so good. Good job. Guys,

700
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:02,719
love it.

701
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 2: I love it.

702
00:37:03,519 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 7: If you're just joining us, we have a soda here

703
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,599
in studio with us. Casey and Killian are here live

704
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:15,159
and sounded amazing. By the way, So uh where does uh?

705
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,360
Where do you guys record?

706
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:16,519
Speaker 3: Like?

707
00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:18,039
Speaker 7: Like where were Sunrise recorded?

708
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: So we took a different approach this time.

709
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: We used to record a Black Black Heart sound in Manchester,

710
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,400
New Hampshire. He was a very good what we did there.

711
00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:30,960
We wanted a very local approach. When we used to

712
00:37:31,039 --> 00:37:34,079
record our music, we went for a very nice, home grown,

713
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,760
very diy approach. But with this single cycle and with

714
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,920
the new songs that we are recording, I really wanted

715
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,880
to step outside of my comfort zone. So for the

716
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,960
first time ever in my entire musical career, we worked

717
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:54,280
with a producer and we worked with the producer Kevin Billingsley.

718
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:58,360
He's a wonderful, wonderful producer who's up in Maine. And

719
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,119
you see he has recorded many bands like Major Moment.

720
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,800
He has worked with bands, he has understudied for Avenge Sevenfold,

721
00:38:07,639 --> 00:38:09,039
just incredible bands.

722
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: Troll is another band their local.

723
00:38:13,679 --> 00:38:15,039
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Kevin.

724
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: Billingsley does some of their music as well. Wonderful, wonderful bands.

725
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,239
And I said, I've been wanting to work with this

726
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,639
man for many, many years. So we went up to

727
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,519
the Halo Studio just north of Portland, Maine, and we

728
00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:30,079
recorded with him, and it was a wonderful experience. It

729
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,920
changed my mindset on what musical recording could be and

730
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:37,840
songwriting could be. He really pushed us to our limits.

731
00:38:38,119 --> 00:38:40,880
He got the best out of us, and he put

732
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,360
together just a beautiful sounding product. I have to say,

733
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,480
I am for the first time ever in my musical career,

734
00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:50,039
I am just so excited with how the music sounds.

735
00:38:51,159 --> 00:38:53,559
I listened to it, and I don't go back and say,

736
00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:56,199
oh I wish I did something like this, No, it is.

737
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,920
He just he got perfection out of us and I

738
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,480
am so so excited to have worked with him. He's wonderful.

739
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 7: Oh very good. Do you plan to work with him again? Oh?

740
00:39:05,599 --> 00:39:08,679
Speaker 1: By far By Killian. Talk a little bit about your

741
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,719
experience with Kevin. Tell tell us how did you feel

742
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:12,360
about Kevin?

743
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:16,519
Speaker 8: He was amazing, Like this was my first time, like well,

744
00:39:16,679 --> 00:39:18,559
this is my first time recording with Soda, and it

745
00:39:18,639 --> 00:39:20,840
was just like right off the gun, like he was

746
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,000
he's so so nice. He helped us like, uh, he

747
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:28,239
gave us things we could change about our songs, and

748
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,599
he just like the production value was just so surreal

749
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,079
and yeah, and he was just so so good to

750
00:39:34,159 --> 00:39:34,440
work with.

751
00:39:34,559 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: He was very friendly the whole time.

752
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 8: It wasn't like we're like it wasn't like a producer

753
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,440
that like makes you stressed out, like oh you have

754
00:39:40,519 --> 00:39:42,360
to do this Liker. He was like, oh, here's how

755
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,840
we can change this. And like if if we were

756
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,880
struggling like recording something or like we're struggling getting apart down.

757
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,519
Speaker 2: He like worked through it with us and like, yeah,

758
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:51,760
just very very He.

759
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: Never got frustrated.

760
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:53,199
Speaker 2: That's right.

761
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,639
Speaker 1: He brought the best qualities out of you, and he

762
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,239
he did it in a way where he knew that

763
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,119
you could do something musically or and he never put

764
00:40:03,159 --> 00:40:05,280
you down if it was difficult for you to get there,

765
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,239
he walked you along the way, and he did it

766
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,320
in such a kind.

767
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 2: Yes, you're right.

768
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: It was just a wonderful experience to have him to

769
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,519
change your mind and approach it in a way that

770
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:19,440
you never felt like you were a bad musician for

771
00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:21,400
not coming up with this idea first. He was like,

772
00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:24,079
this is how he can enhance your idea. Yeah, he

773
00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:25,119
did a wonderful job.

774
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 7: I feel like a good producer kind of becomes like

775
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,800
an extra member of the band.

776
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,039
Speaker 1: It's very true. Look at the Beatles, they had their

777
00:40:32,079 --> 00:40:35,760
fifth Beatles. Yes, it was their producer, and because of him,

778
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
they put out a great quality work. And I think

779
00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:41,519
that Kevin has been our our fifth and a half.

780
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:43,880
I say half because we have a half member in

781
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,199
our band. He was severed in two, so that is

782
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,840
why he is half. He plays the piano for us

783
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:50,320
in Sota.

784
00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:51,519
Speaker 7: Was that also in Maine?

785
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,119
Speaker 1: That that did happen in Maine? Yes, yes, he did

786
00:40:54,199 --> 00:40:56,320
not want to become a vampire. He is not in

787
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,800
the music video because of which so we decided to

788
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,519
eat his lower half. Sure, so, yes, he plays the

789
00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:04,440
piano at about half of our shows.

790
00:41:04,559 --> 00:41:06,159
Speaker 7: Okay, yes, yeah, I see.

791
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: So that's why I say that Kevin was our fit

792
00:41:08,519 --> 00:41:11,360
and a half member of Sota for this recording.

793
00:41:11,519 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 7: Yes, well that makes sense. So did you intend to

794
00:41:14,559 --> 00:41:15,400
record with him again?

795
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 2: Almost definitely.

796
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we actually we have three more songs that

797
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,880
we are going to release over the course of the

798
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:22,840
next year.

799
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 2: But h do I have songs brewing.

800
00:41:26,679 --> 00:41:28,679
Speaker 1: I have many songs that we are going to go

801
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,719
back and record, and I'm very excited to do.

802
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 5: So.

803
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: What's the name of the studio again, It's the Halo

804
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,800
Studio Halo. Yes.

805
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 7: Are you able to in your current form or forms

806
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:41,519
because you've both technically, I mean, are you able to

807
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,960
go to a place called with Halo and the names?

808
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:44,599
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what.

809
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,159
Speaker 1: The whole vampire thing it happened the day after we

810
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,760
finished recording up in Maine.

811
00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 3: It was.

812
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,639
Speaker 1: Yes, it was very fortuitous that we did not go

813
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,039
into the Halo as vampires, because I don't think we

814
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:56,519
would have made it through the night.

815
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,039
Speaker 7: Yeah.

816
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: Yes, But again, as I said, I'm hoping by the

817
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:03,800
end of this release schedule for Sunrise that I will

818
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,800
no longer be a vampire and I can go back

819
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:06,920
into the Halo studio.

820
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,519
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, oh excellent, Well we'll we'll, we'll hope for that.

821
00:42:11,639 --> 00:42:13,599
Do you have any plans to do a new EP

822
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,840
or an album? I know this is a standalone single,

823
00:42:16,199 --> 00:42:18,159
What's What's because of so many different ways, so many

824
00:42:18,159 --> 00:42:20,360
different approaches you can take to release in music.

825
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:24,599
Speaker 1: I do have an album in my sights. It is

826
00:42:24,639 --> 00:42:28,360
a matter of finalizing some of the songs. When I

827
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,519
make a musical project, I like to have cohesion with it.

828
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:35,159
I like to have a cohesiveness, and like I said,

829
00:42:35,199 --> 00:42:38,719
these songs did not necessarily have a cohesiveness quality to them.

830
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,360
But I do have an album that I have been writing,

831
00:42:41,519 --> 00:42:44,639
and it well, we'll talk more about it in time,

832
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,280
but it is a record about time. It's about life,

833
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,039
It's about fleeting time. And I have many songs that

834
00:42:50,119 --> 00:42:53,280
I have written, life and death and wanting to cheat death,

835
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,800
wanting to escape death, but coming to reality that sometimes

836
00:42:57,519 --> 00:42:58,719
you cannot cheat death.

837
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,679
Speaker 2: So that is a the horizon.

838
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: I have a handful of songs that the next time

839
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:06,159
we go to Kevin it will be a full EP

840
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,719
LP LP my own Mistake. It will be on SODA's

841
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:10,480
first LP.

842
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 7: Oh very good, very good. Yes, Now do either of

843
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,000
you have any other projects that you're also involved in

844
00:43:16,159 --> 00:43:20,159
or is it Soda exclusively or Killian.

845
00:43:20,559 --> 00:43:23,519
Speaker 1: He plays a lot of music, from from theaters to

846
00:43:23,679 --> 00:43:24,199
other bands.

847
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 2: Tell him what you do.

848
00:43:25,559 --> 00:43:28,519
Speaker 8: I have a lot of other music outlets I play.

849
00:43:29,039 --> 00:43:31,760
I played drums in another smaller SKA band.

850
00:43:33,119 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 2: I do.

851
00:43:33,519 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I do pits for a bunch of music halls

852
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:36,440
here and there.

853
00:43:36,559 --> 00:43:37,639
Speaker 7: Oh wow, so cool.

854
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:41,119
Speaker 1: He recently did Sweeney Todd so it worked very well

855
00:43:41,199 --> 00:43:43,039
being a vampire in that in that setting.

856
00:43:43,199 --> 00:43:46,079
Speaker 7: Oh that makes sense. Yes, yes, wow, very cool. Now

857
00:43:46,199 --> 00:43:47,000
what's the other band?

858
00:43:47,639 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 2: It's called hand Me Down.

859
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 8: So they're out of Southern New Hampshire, Dairy, London, Derry, Manchester.

860
00:43:53,039 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, very cool, very cool. And if you guys know,

861
00:43:56,599 --> 00:43:58,119
so you guys are brothers, how how long have you

862
00:43:58,199 --> 00:43:59,639
been making music together? A long time?

863
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 2: Right, Well, we have been playing together for a number

864
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:05,039
of years now.

865
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: In Sota, I exclusively write the music and I give

866
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,400
it to the rest of my band members and I

867
00:44:12,559 --> 00:44:15,280
tell them take this as a palette and do what

868
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,840
you want with it. And I try to let them

869
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,119
have the freedom to kind of embellish their parts the

870
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:24,119
way that they would want to play them. So Killian

871
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:26,679
and I don't necessarily write together, but we have been

872
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,679
performing together for since very early on in the band.

873
00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:33,920
I would say this probably four years now. We've been

874
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,440
playing with Sota together.

875
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:38,119
Speaker 7: Oh okay, yes, okay, and Killian, are you on all

876
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:40,360
the Soda tracks that have been released so far?

877
00:44:40,519 --> 00:44:43,119
Speaker 8: I'm not so the Sunrise that just came out. That

878
00:44:43,519 --> 00:44:45,800
is my first song that I'm.

879
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,079
Speaker 7: Oh, well, that's the first one. Okay. Cool.

880
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 1: For the early Sota material, I really wanted it to be.

881
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,039
I wanted to take a Dave Grohl approach where I

882
00:44:55,119 --> 00:44:57,119
did as many of the instruments as possible. So I

883
00:44:57,199 --> 00:45:01,039
played bass on the first the the first six songs

884
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:03,400
that we ever released, it was me, and then I

885
00:45:03,639 --> 00:45:07,360
outsourced the drumming elsewhere because I cannot do drums, so

886
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,119
we had others do that.

887
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, okay, okay, but Killian, you'll be on everything

888
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,599
going forward, I assume, right, yes, oh very nice.

889
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: I changed my mentality and I want to make sure

890
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,840
that all of my band members are featured equally because

891
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:28,679
I have accrued a very good ensemble of phenomenally talented

892
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,920
musicians and I want them to have their moments.

893
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 7: Yes, well, I'm not necessarily equally right, because you have

894
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,719
one guy who's been seven he is half.

895
00:45:35,519 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: He is in half, so he you know, he gets

896
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,280
half of the rest of everyone else.

897
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,039
Speaker 7: But yeah, yeah, no that makes sense, that makes sense. Yeah, absolutely,

898
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,920
very good, very good. So the next show, So you've

899
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,639
got the official release in July at Chaskey and I

900
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:50,159
forget the day.

901
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: Yes, it's Thursday, July seventeenth.

902
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,639
Speaker 7: Seventeen, okay, with trading tombstones, whom I love. I think

903
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:57,679
we've had them on the show.

904
00:45:58,039 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I believe you have.

905
00:45:59,239 --> 00:45:59,639
Speaker 7: We must have.

906
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 2: Yes, I think I tuned into that one.

907
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 7: Okay, yes, it becomes a blur.

908
00:46:03,119 --> 00:46:06,079
Speaker 2: Oh, I understand, although I shall not forget this one ever.

909
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,519
Speaker 1: Well, you might not live to tell the tale.

910
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:11,039
Speaker 5: I know.

911
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 7: I recommended that there's there's neighborhoods I can send you to.

912
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,239
Don't worry. What are your fresh meat for you?

913
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: To skirting around the issue at there?

914
00:46:19,039 --> 00:46:19,159
Speaker 3: Oh?

915
00:46:19,199 --> 00:46:19,639
Speaker 7: I you know? I?

916
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 5: Uh?

917
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: Who else?

918
00:46:23,679 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 7: Oh?

919
00:46:24,079 --> 00:46:24,199
Speaker 4: Uh?

920
00:46:25,159 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 7: Was the other one the band that was apart for

921
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:28,320
twenty years?

922
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Painted the Town Dead?

923
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 7: The Town Dead? Yes? And uh there was one other band,

924
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:35,920
right or was there?

925
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:36,159
Speaker 2: Yes?

926
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: Bastard Curse?

927
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, we really pick them out, don't we.

928
00:46:40,519 --> 00:46:42,639
Speaker 7: Yes, that sounds like a great show.

929
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 2: It's very doomy and gloomy.

930
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 7: That'll be at the shask game. Yeah, yes, and then

931
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,599
you have anything planned beyond that.

932
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: Or well, our drummer he is getting married very soon.

933
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,880
He's getting married, so we are kind of I think

934
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,760
we are going to go back into into the shadows

935
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,519
for a little bit as he you know, he's doing

936
00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:04,840
some life changing things, even more so than becoming a vampire.

937
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,679
Speaker 2: So so being married is a big commitment.

938
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,280
Speaker 1: So we will probably take some time off, but we

939
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,599
have more music on the way, so we will supplement

940
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,280
the time that we are not playing live shows with

941
00:47:17,559 --> 00:47:18,199
more music.

942
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,599
Speaker 2: In your ear waves, Oh very good, very good.

943
00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 7: What is your hearing? Does the hearing change at all

944
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,239
when you're a vampire? I've I thought like vampires can

945
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,800
hear like longer distances, right.

946
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,599
Speaker 1: I hear frequencies that no man should ever hear. I

947
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,320
hear dog whistles. There's somebody to two towns over and

948
00:47:38,679 --> 00:47:42,000
they're using a dog whistle and it is grating on

949
00:47:42,119 --> 00:47:42,639
my nerves.

950
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, well, don't don't get to okay, Yeah, well,

951
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,840
very good. So I think we should we should end

952
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:53,960
with uh, we'll play We'll play Sunrise again. Such a

953
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,360
great track to close out for people who are just

954
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,079
tuning in. But where should people go online to keep

955
00:47:59,159 --> 00:47:59,920
up with everything that you got?

956
00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: Just anywhere you want to. We are on the facebooks,

957
00:48:03,599 --> 00:48:07,000
we are on the instagrams. We are on TikTok. I

958
00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:09,760
make a lot of tiktoks, and whether they're funny or not,

959
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,159
that is for you to decide.

960
00:48:11,199 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 2: We're on Spotify YouTube. We have the music video.

961
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:18,039
Speaker 1: You if you're listening and you're not seeing the visuals,

962
00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:20,960
you will understand why I sound the way I sound. Yeah,

963
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,880
watching our music video. It is on our YouTube anywhere.

964
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,800
If you just look up Sota so Otah band, you'll

965
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:29,920
probably find us.

966
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,039
Speaker 7: By the way, does your name ever get misspelled like

967
00:48:32,119 --> 00:48:33,639
on a flyer or something.

968
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: That, more often than not it gets mispronounced. People just

969
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,559
don't understand. They don't understand. They say Sota and I say, no,

970
00:48:40,679 --> 00:48:44,320
it's just Sota. It's so you can there is no annunciation,

971
00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:47,079
just say you know. But then every now and then, yes,

972
00:48:47,119 --> 00:48:48,920
I'll say oh, we're a band called Soda and they'll

973
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,440
go so o d A and I go, no, it

974
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:52,239
is not so Da. Why would I name my band

975
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,360
Soda right?

976
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:53,679
Speaker 7: Right?

977
00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 2: But I get the confusion. I get it.

978
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 7: No, no, yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. Well, guys,

979
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,800
thank you. This has been wonderful and we will play

980
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,639
that again in just a moment. And if you miss

981
00:49:02,639 --> 00:49:04,280
any part of today's show, it'll be up in just

982
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,440
a little bitut wmhradio dot org at my website Matt

983
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,840
Connorton dot com. If I'm not here next week, or Jenny,

984
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,920
if I don't come home today, it's because I've been

985
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,079
eating or turned a new a vampire or something. But

986
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,000
you guys want to do that to me? Would you?

987
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:20,559
Speaker 2: The verdict is not out yet.

988
00:49:21,039 --> 00:49:23,159
Speaker 7: I just realized something. You can't do that to me.

989
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,760
You know why? Because I have to upload the show.

990
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 2: Oh no, we need our we need our content. Killian

991
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,079
for the Instagram. Ah, you got us there, Matt.
