I can do like the art. Well, that's that's important.

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,519
I mean, that's a huge part of it, especially in

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,680
the era in which we live, you know, yeah, the

26
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:14,920
visual aspect of it. Also before we get rolling here

27

00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:51,280
Oh is one of these a uh oh? One of

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,560
these is the Ramones cover and one is yes, so

44
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:56,439
what so most of these are originals? Correct?

45
00:01:56,519 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? Eight of the ten are originals okay, yep, ones

46
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,680

00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,479
can't see these as well on the camera, but no,

50
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,080
that's great, thank you. Yeah, this is and this was

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,800
released on Fameless Records.

52
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: Yes, small little label out of Philly.

53
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Oh, no kidding, how'd you how'd you get connected with them?

54
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,599
Speaker 2: I've been playing music for a little bit now, and

55
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,479
I have pitched a few ideas to Tim who runs

56
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:34,879
the label in Philly, and you know, we just got

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,240
talking through social media and like he liked what I

58
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,080
was doing solo. Yeah, he goes, you know, now's a

59
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,719
good time to put it out. So I said, all right,

60
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,319
let's do it.

61
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:50,039
Speaker 1: Yeah that's awesome, And so I assume it's also available

62
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,520
on CD and yeah, that'd be weird to just do

63
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,280
a vinyl release.

64
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:57,159
Speaker 2: Streaming. Yeah, those ten songs are streaming, plus another ten

65
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,199
songs on like Apple, Music, Spot, Amazon, Deezer, all those.

66
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: Okay, is this your only full length album? Because I

67
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,840
noticed just looking online it looks like you put out

68
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:10,639
a lot of singles.

69
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I do a lot of singles. So when I started,

70
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:20,719
I was doing just band camp singles. And then like

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,360
I said, my buddy was like, yo, we can maybe

72
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:29,800
do a compilation like CD tape record maybe, And that's

73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,879
how that happened. And that's the first ten songs that

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,080
I put out. And since I've just I've been trying

75
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:41,520
to be consistent with my singles. But there is a

76
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,080
plan probably in December. Loosely December is when the next

77
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,319
ten songs will go off to press to be like

78
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,520
the Dave Strong second album or whatever. I don't know

79
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,719
the name of it. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be like a

80
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:55,319
blue one or something. It'll be cool. And we almost

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,439
sold out of those. I think we pressed three hundred

82
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,639
and we're about to sell out of those, and we're

83
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:02,919
going to repress that one too, which is really cool.

84
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: No, that's amazing. Good for you, man, Good for you.

85
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,080
How do you uh? Everyone always says this question, but

86
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,919
how do you describe your music for someone who's never

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,840
heard it? Because pretty eclectic stuff. Like I listened to

88
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:16,800
a lot of a lot of your music online in

89
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,319
addition to the tracks that you sent me. It's really

90
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,600
eclectic and hard to uh. I mean, I wouldn't know

91
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:24,120
what to tell somebody. Like if somebody said to me

92
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,800
describe Dave Strong, I'd be like, I don't know. I mean,

93
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,399
there's definitely you know, there's a punk vibe there. But

94
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:33,920
but a song like uh or be Around, it's like

95
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,319
just I just love that so much. By the way,

96
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:40,079
I love the lyrics, you know, but I mean, how

97
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:40,600
do you clever?

98
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

99
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: What's that?

100
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: It's a clever song?

101
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:44,879
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Like how do you How do you describe

102
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:46,399
your music to people who've never heard it?

103
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: Usually, so in general, I'll say it's like Green Day

104
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:56,879
meets Weezer meets the Ramones or something like all all

105
00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:01,959
kind of stereotype three popular bands that someone might have heard,

106
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,480
you know. But it depends on who I'm hanging out with.

107
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:07,560
If if like a bunch of punk people are like,

108
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,759
what do you sound like, I'll be like, I sound

109
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,279
like I'm punk. I'm really punk, check me out. Or

110
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:15,480
if like my mom or her friends are like, what

111
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,959
what do you sound like? I'll be like, well, I

112
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,759
sound like the Beatles, like a little faster, or like Eddie.

113
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,600
I do an Eddie Cochran song, which is like from

114
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,519
the fifties, you know, So like I'll be like, yeah,

115
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:28,759
maybe I'm like Geene Vincent on speed or something like that,

116
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,839
you know, because some of the songs have upright bass.

117
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:33,800
So I grew up listening to the Beach Boys and

118
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:38,680
Oldies and the Beatles. I love harmonies and stuff like that,

119
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,800
you know, And then then I got into like Nirvana

120
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,560
and Ramones, so I keep it rock and roll, but yeah,

121
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,759
like catchy poppy rock, I guess. Yeah.

122
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,959
Speaker 1: And so now do you always or do you usually

123
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:55,519
play with a band or do you do a lot

124
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:57,279
of because I think you had mentioned too you had

125
00:05:57,319 --> 00:05:59,160
recently done a solo show or last night you had

126
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,720
done a.

127
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,079
Speaker 2: Last night I did a full band show at O'Brien

128
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,959
and that was awesome.

129
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:06,959
Speaker 1: That's a great room.

130
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. There was a lot of people

131
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:14,240
at it too. It was cool. Parking stunk well yeah yeah, yeah,

132
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,040
but very supportive, great bands, really cool place. But I

133
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,720
try to play live with a band as much as possible.

134
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,319
If somebody asks me to play, I always ask my

135
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:31,079
band first. Yeah, but you know, my drummer lives in

136
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,519
Western mass my second guitarist lives in Connecticut, and my

137
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:38,199
bass player lives in Barrington. So we're all like in

138
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,079
different states.

139
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, it's not like gas is expensive or anything.

140
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we are. We are going to Germany too, Yeah,

141
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:49,839
no kidding, I mean the big shows when it matters.

142
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,920
I mean I think every show matters. But when when

143
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,959
push comes to shove and like it's a Saturday night

144
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:00,759
packed place, they're going to be there, yeah with me, Yeah,

145
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,120
you know. But I'm playing next Saturday night in Portland,

146
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:07,879
Okay by myself at spring Hill Tavern, Okay. And then

147
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:11,600
I'm playing the week after the fourteenth at Gino's in

148
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:13,279
Portland with a full band.

149
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Nice.

150
00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:15,879
Speaker 2: So you never know, you never know what you're gonna get.

151
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,360
I like to I don't like to say no to shows. Yeah,

152
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:21,279
so like if a show is on a Wednesday night

153
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,439
or something, it's gonna probably be just me right right,

154
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:27,959
It's like a Saturday night, you know, it's gonna probably

155
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:28,480
be the band.

156
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:31,639
Speaker 1: Portland's a great scene. Is that? Is that where you're

157
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,600
because you're from Maine, right, yeah?

158
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:36,519
Speaker 2: I live pretty close to Portland, maybe like thirty minutes

159
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,160
from Portland.

160
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah yeah, people who don't know, I mean it's

161
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:41,920
it's kind of Portland's a lot like Boston, I feel,

162
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,319
in terms of the scene and the diversity of it,

163
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,800
a lot of different kinds of music there. Do you play?

164
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:53,240
So are you playing? It sounds like you play a

165
00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:54,399
lot every weekend.

166
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: Do you have shows? I've been trying Yeah, yeah, yep

167
00:07:57,959 --> 00:07:58,519
and good.

168
00:07:58,439 --> 00:07:59,839
Speaker 1: And then when you go to Germany, is the full

169
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:00,639
going with you?

170
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Yes? A variation of the band. My buddy Bernie, who

171
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,160
plays bass for us, is gonna stay home, but Lee,

172
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,920
who plays guitar. It's funny. Lee plays drums on a

173
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,920
lot of this, a lot of the studio stuff. He's

174
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,199
like my right hand man almost when it comes to

175
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:21,720
this stuff. He doesn't play every show. Sometimes we play

176
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,160
a three piece, but he always helps out in the studio,

177
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,040
especially on this new album. He's gonna play bass in

178
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:32,120
Germany and my drummer Jared is gonna is gonna come

179
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,159
and play drums, so we'll do a three piece. Yeah,

180
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,679
I'll have a full band in Germany.

181
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Okay. It's nice that you have that kind of flexibility

182
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,879
where you can, you know, you can kind of just

183
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,519
make it work, you know, and change the configuration as

184
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,360
you go if you need to. So that's pretty cool.

185
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's stressful as well.

186
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: How many how many dates are you doing there?

187
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: We're gonna be there for six days and I think

188
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,000
we're gonna play four of them.

189
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: Okay, have you been to Europe before?

190
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: I have been. I've played with my friend Jeff before

191
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,399
over there. Yeah. We flew in to Spain, played two

192
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,759
or three shows in like Madrid, Leon wow. And then

193
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,960
we flew to Amsterdam and played Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Yeah so,

194
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,159
and I think that was like in eight days. We

195
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,559
probably played four or five shows and eight days. Wow,

196
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,879
no kidding, that was about five years ago. That was

197
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:28,600
really fun.

198
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, very cool, very cool. Oh right before the pandemic,

199
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,320
right before yeah yeah, yeah, good thing. It wasn't four

200
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:37,039
years ago. You would have would have been able to go.

201
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

202
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: Now, so okay, so I have to ask you this,

203
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,360
So you've got to I've been dying to ask you

204
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:48,759
this question. You've got a brand new single that just

205
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,039
came out, which we're not going to play today. Now.

206
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,320
We love to play new stuff on the show. The

207
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,360
only reason we're not playing this is called I Hate

208
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,360
Joe King's roommate. And the only reason we're not playing

209
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,399
it the usual. I make a radio edit if a

210
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,600
guest has something and I want to play it, you know,

211
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:06,200
and if they don't have a radio edit, I'll make

212
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,559
a radio edit. I just go in, I reverse where

213
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,120
all the swears are. And I don't mind doing that.

214
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:12,799
You know, it takes me five minutes. I'm pretty efficient

215
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,480
at it. But I was listening to this track and

216
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:16,440
by the way. I love the song. It's a great song,

217
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,039
but I thought there's so much here there would have

218
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:23,559
to be reversed and it would kind of wreck the song.

219
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,480
So I was like, I don't just artistically, I don't

220
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:30,159
think I should mess with this one. But here's what

221
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:32,639
I'm dying to know. I want to know. There has

222
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,039
to be a story behind.

223
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: This, right, sure is?

224
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: And who is Joe King? And why is his roommate

225
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:40,639
upset you?

226
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:40,759
Speaker 6: So?

227
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: Because I can't tell, Like, we learn a little bit

228
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,759
about Joe King's roommate from the song. We learn that

229
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,080
he's apparently a very upsetting person. But I don't know,

230
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,519
I think, but I don't know exactly, And I don't

231
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,080
know how about you can divulge, but I mean, I

232
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,919
have to ask. I'm very curious. The song made me

233
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:03,960
very curious.

234
00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: All right, I'll be as forthcoming as I envy. Okay,

235
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,480
So I wrote that song with my friend Pete Curtis,

236
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,159
probably in like nineteen ninety seven, Oh, okay, nineteen ninety eight.

237
00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:21,679
I was in high school and he We were in

238
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,679
a band called the Illegitimates. The Portsmouth punk scene was

239
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:27,360
kind of cool and going on. There was a place

240
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:29,559
called the Elvis Room. I think there was one in

241
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Portland too, honestly, but it was it was thriving. There

242
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:34,840
was great bands coming in and out of it. And

243
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,360
you know, he was in a band. I was in

244
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:40,399
a band, and we just ended up playing in a band,

245
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,919
yeah for a bit, and we wrote that song I

246
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,399
hate Joking's roommates. So Joe King is the singer of

247
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,840
this band, the Queers. Okay, they're like a popular punk

248
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,679
band from New Hampshire. Yep, they tore everywhere. They're pretty

249
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,360
famous now.

250
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.

251
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: I mean he's written songs with like Joey Ramone, and

252
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,519
you know, he's played a lot. He plays a lot,

253
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,919
he makes money off of music and he you know,

254
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,159
I love the Queers. I was listening to him on

255
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:08,399
the way home last night. You know. They were like

256
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,320
one of the first punk bands I ever listened to.

257
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,840
In my eyes, They're like the Ramones for me. Yeah.

258
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:17,480
So I always looked up to Joe. A couple of

259
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:21,519
my friends played in his bands and stuff. And Mitch,

260
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,759
who is Joe King's roommate at the time, he was

261
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,679
like this. I don't know if he was an army

262
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:33,600
vet or if he was just like a hippie type dude,

263
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:36,840
but he had he always had like a green long

264
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:44,120
army coat and long orange chair. Scruffy dude. To be honest,

265
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,559
really nice, Like usually he was very polite. He was like,

266
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:51,120
hey man, how are you? That's all you would say,

267
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,799
or like hy man, you know that's it. He wouldn't

268
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:57,320
he wouldn't like try to get in conversations. He wasn't

269
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,279
mean or anything. And we were just like always trying

270
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,000
to hang out with Joe or try to talk to

271
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,960
Joe and this guy was here and he'd be like,

272
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:11,159
hey man, we hate Joking's roommate. Yeah, you know, he

273
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,440
lived above Series Street in Portsmouth. Like we thought we

274
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,600
were the coolest people hanging out with these guys. Yeah,

275
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:20,919
but that's pretty much the story. Man in a nutshell.

276
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:26,039
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So did he hear the song?

277
00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:30,279
Speaker 2: Or Joe has? Joe has heard the song? I sent

278
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,759
him copy of it and we actually did a music

279
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:36,320
video and everything. He's not in it, but I mean

280
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:38,080
he says he likes it. I don't know, he hasn't

281
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,399
reposted it or anything, but yeah, he knows about it.

282
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,399
And I don't know how to hollow would even get

283
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:46,840
a hold of Mitch or anything. But a couple of

284
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:52,279
people have asked me about it because Joe has had

285
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,480
tons of roommates.

286
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: That's that gives you plausible deniability because if Mitch ever

287
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,639
turns up and he's like, heymen, which I assume is

288
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,080
how he would open the conversation, right, hey man, kind

289
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,039
of hurt my feelings. You can just say Joe King's

290
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,960
had tons of roommates, why do you think it's about you?

291
00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: Right as you talked about it on the air.

292
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: But then you can say, well, yeah, but he's you know,

293
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:23,360
Mitch is a common name. He probably had. It was

294
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,080
probably somebody else named Mitch who was Joe King's roommate.

295
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,159
Why do you think it's about you? Don't be a narcissist, Mitch.

296
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Why is everything about you? Mitch? I hate you that

297
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:33,840
ye see?

298
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: So it all comes full circle. Oh that's that's great. Okay, Okay, Yeah,

299
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:42,840
I was hoping there was a story. I was I

300
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:44,919
was actually afraid of asking you that it was going

301
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,080
to turn out to be some you know, the fictional

302
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:48,919
thing that you just made up to be funny. So

303
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:50,200
I'm glad there's an actual story.

304
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: Oh, it's real, real life. It happened a long time ago.

305
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:55,519
But yeah, yeah, you knows.

306
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. So here's what I think we should do.

307
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,159
I'll play another studio track, and then while that's playing,

308
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,039
if you want to grab your guitar, and then when

309
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:09,559
we come back from that, I'm dying here, you play live?

310
00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:13,799
What should I? Uh, let's see, because you sent me

311
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,279
a few things. We played Being Around, which again, I

312
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,600
just I love that song so much. That is so fun.

313
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: One Good Reason sort of like that one. It's a

314
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,559
little kind of Coyle punky or like I don't know,

315
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:27,799
I didn't want to say hic punk, but like a

316
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:30,559
little more on the country punk side.

317
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:32,919
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, we'll play that one.

318
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, the twangy guitars. It's sort of like sort of

319
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:37,519
like being Around the closest one to it at least.

320
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,879
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, cool, So we'll give this a spin.

321
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:42,679
This is uh, this is Dave Strong. This is called

322
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,120
One Good Reason, And then when we come back, Dave's

323
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,200

00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 6: He said, she wants away with me all the way

325
00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:16,080
the kids by you go with the met of therapy.

326
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: I don't know who I'm gonna make it to the night.

00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:21,240
I buck ain't kids in my school, and nothing ever

328
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,039
turns out.

329
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,799

was supposed to be a children's EP. Oh really yeah,

362
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,400
because the third song is called puddle Hop, which isn't

00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,759
Roommate and that I mean, we're just talking about how

children's story right out of the window.

403
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:14,799

404
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:15,960
King and Dave Strong.

405
00:21:16,039 --> 00:21:18,400

406
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:23,799
Speaker 1: But if you're just joining us, Dave Strong is here

407
00:21:23,839 --> 00:21:26,440
with us, alive in studio on the Saturday morning. We

408
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:29,599
should talk about that track. One good reason because you

409
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,640
were telling us a little bit about it off air,

410
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,319
and those pretty interesting.

411
00:21:35,559 --> 00:21:35,759
Speaker 2: You were.

412
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:41,279
Speaker 1: You were talking about how quickly it came together, and yeah, yeah.

413
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,519
Speaker 2: So most of the songs on that record right there

414
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:53,240
are done by myself, my friend Uri, and my friend

415
00:21:53,359 --> 00:22:00,319
Terry who plays upright bass, And for this one, it's

416
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,400
gonna either be the first or second number on the

417
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,759
new record. And it was a whole It was almost

418
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:10,839
a full different band. I had my buddy Luke was

419
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,960
playing drums on it and Lenny Lashley was playing guitar.

420
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,119
And Lenny Lashley is like a famous Boston musician. I mean, yeah,

421
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,279
he's super cool. He plays in bands called Darkbuster and

422
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:30,480
the Street Dogs, and you know, it was cool. I

423
00:22:31,079 --> 00:22:34,599
just recorded it up in New Hampshire and I sent

424
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,720
him the track and by the next day he had

425
00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:40,720
all those awesome guitar riffs in there and stuff, and

426
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,759
you know. I I thought it was really cool of

427
00:22:44,839 --> 00:22:47,319
him to do, you know, because he's a really cool

428
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,480
established musician, a really cool human being, and you know,

429
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,680
he didn't have to play on my stuff and it

430
00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:54,519
was really awesome for him to do it.

431
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: Were you surprised at the turnaround time on that, like

432
00:22:57,759 --> 00:22:59,880
how quickly he got those back here?

433
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,279
Speaker 2: That was pretty amazing? Yeah, I mean he's a true

434
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:04,720
professional for sure. Yeah.

435
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's fantastic. Are there other people you've worked

436
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,680
with that you'd kind of put in that category where

437
00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:13,759
you're like, Wow, this is this is amazing. This is

438
00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:14,440
one of my heroes.

439
00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: Uh, so far, I've I've worked with a couple of people.

440
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:25,079
Kurt Baker out of Spain. I mean he's actually from Portland, Maine.

441
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,799
He lives in Spain. Now he's on Wicked Cool Records,

442
00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:35,680
which is like Little Steven from Bruce Springsteen's bands label.

443
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's in Spain now, that's a big move.

444
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing really well. You know, he's put out

445
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,200
a bunch of records and you know, he kills it

446
00:23:46,279 --> 00:23:48,319
every time. That When he was in a band called

447
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,359
The Leftovers out of Portland, Maine and then he got

448
00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:57,279
signed to that guy from Bowling for Soup, Jarrett Reddit, okay,

449
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,839
name the lead singer of Bowling for Soup and guitarists.

450
00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:03,920
You know, Kurt Baker I kind of look up to

451
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:07,480
because he's from Maine. He's local dude, down to earth.

452
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,200
He's a friend of mine now and he's just kind

453
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,279
of like done it, you know, keeps doing it and

454
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,039
doing it good. He writes awesome songs and he gets

455
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,480
recognized for the awesome songs. Even though he's a friend,

456
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,400
I still really look up to him, you know. It's like, ah, oh, shoot,

457
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,240
moment every time.

458
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: No doubt, no doubt. Where do you record?

459
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 7: It?

460
00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: Sounds like you've recorded in a lot of different places.

461
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't. I haven't found a place where like

462
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:42,000
I can say, is going to be my new spot,

463
00:24:42,079 --> 00:24:45,680
you know. But I recorded that whole album that I

464
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,319
gave to you, the Dave Strong LP or whatever, the

465
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,599
self titled one. I recorded all ten of those songs

466
00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:58,680
at the wood Shop in I don't even know. I

467
00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:02,480
don't even know, Like Ken'sington, New Hampshire is somewhere around there, Okay,

468
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,000
it's called the Woodshops Studio up there.

469
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I've heard of Kensington yeah, is it north.

470
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:13,319
Speaker 2: So it's sort of near like Haveril.

471
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:16,319
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you know it's like on that it's like, oh,

472
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,279
it's on the border, right.

473
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 2: Get on four ninety five for a second. Yeah Atkinson. Okay,

474
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:23,440
that's exactly studios in Atkinson.

475
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: I know exactly where that is. Okay, yeah, okay.

476
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,799
Speaker 2: So I've recorded those ten songs from that one, and

477
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,039
then I recorded two more like the one that we

478
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,480
just listened to and I'm all these lips, which is

479
00:25:35,559 --> 00:25:40,319
are like Basolene's cover but Nirvana pretty much made it popular.

480
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

481
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, those those two songs will probably be on my

482
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,000
next record, Okay. And I and I thought I had

483
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:52,079
a groove going there, but it seems like now that

484
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,440
I think about it, it was more like perfect for

485
00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:57,920
that time and the band that I was playing with.

486
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like.

487
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,759
Speaker 2: So I just thought, maybe, you know, I'm doing a

488
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:04,640
new record, I'll move to a different place and check

489
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,279
it out like that. So we did four songs in Salem,

490
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:16,640
mass which we recorded with Tom Hamilton, who recorded Hate

491
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,960
Your Friends the Lemonheads first album. Yeah, and that's kind

492
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,079
of why we listened to being around. We were like,

493
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,000
we gotta do something with Tom like even though he

494
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:28,839
didn't wasn't a part of engineering that song. Yeah, he

495
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,960
was a part of engineering one of my favorite records ever. Oh,

496
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:34,200
just Hate Your Friends by the Lemonheads. I love that.

497
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,599
I love even Dando and I love the Lemonheads.

498
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: Yea.

499
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,599
Speaker 2: So I was like, I gotta, I gotta somehow tie

500
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,440
this Lemonheads connection in right, and I recorded I'm Late

501
00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:49,119
Where I should go that Lemonheads being around the song.

502
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,000
I think that's it. Oh, and I Hate Mondays. I

503
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:55,119
did a song called I Hate Mondays okay, you know,

504
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,440
which is kind of like I Hate Joking's roommate every.

505
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: Other words that Ford gotcha, gotcha.

506
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:03,599
Speaker 2: I'm not that angry really, Yeah, I just get it

507
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,000
out artistically.

508
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's I mean, that's the best way to

509
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:08,039
do it. Yeah, that's the best way to do it.

510
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,559
Create something absolutely. Do you have a favorite place that

511
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:13,039
you've recorded so far?

512
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: They just keep getting better. I mean, so the last

513
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:20,359
three songs, I Hate Joking's Roommate, puddle Hop, which isn't

514
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,079
out yet, which I wrote, you know, it's like a

515
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,079
kids type song, and then I want to know the

516
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,640
one I just sang. I recorded up in North Conway

517
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,920
at my friend Ryan's house. It's like a makeshift studio.

518
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:40,240
They call it Platypus Records, but yeah, it's just like

519
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,000
it's it's on his land. It's a garage, you know

520
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,480
that they've turned into a studio. It's like the size

521
00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:53,200
of this room really cool, you know, just a really

522
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,480
chill type vibe, you know, and like, yeah, so far

523
00:27:56,599 --> 00:27:59,680
that's been my favorite place. I'm going back with another

524
00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:03,000
band next weekend to record up there again. Oh okay,

525
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:07,880
So the plan is eventually I'll find my home base, right,

526
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,160
you know, but until I'll keep trying these awesome places

527
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,039
and they keep getting better and better.

528
00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:15,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's so

529
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,799
many options to record now and so many places.

530
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 2: You know.

531
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,319
Speaker 1: It's interesting too. There. It seems like there was a

532
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,960
point where people, you know, as technology evolves and becomes

533
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:30,119
more accessible to everybody, you know, people make all kinds

534
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,359
of predictions about what technology is going to start to

535
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,599
go away, or how things are going to change, or

536
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:37,119
and what technology is going to stick around. And like,

537
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,720
for example, vinyl records. You know, decades ago people said,

538
00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:43,160
you know, CDs would be the end of vinyl and

539
00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:47,759
vinyl you know, still thrives, but with recording studios. You know,

540
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,720
I remember years ago people saying, now with all these

541
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,279
capabilities to just record on your own, recorded at home

542
00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:58,759
and whatnot, you know, recording studios are going to go away.

543
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,079
But it didn't happen, and if anything, there's probably more

544
00:29:02,119 --> 00:29:05,559
of them than there were ten years ago, because you know,

545
00:29:05,799 --> 00:29:08,680
people like having all kinds of different options in terms

546
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,480
of how they create their music. You know, some some

547
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:13,680
people only want to be able to just do it

548
00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:17,160
at home, plug everything in, use pro tools, use ant

549
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:19,480
modelers and all that, and you know, not have to

550
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:21,680
go to a studio. Some people thrive on being in

551
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,119
a studio and love and I find too, And I'm

552
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,519
curious if you're like this. A lot of the people

553
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,799
who seem to really thrive on being in a studio

554
00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:32,920
as you appear to really like having that, you know,

555
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,960
like having an engineer or recording engineer there who also

556
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,200
very often, you know, it happens organically becomes sort of

557
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,440
a de facto producer, you know, and even even though

558
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,240
maybe that's not why you're there necessarily, but they have input,

559
00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:49,759
they have ideas, and of course they know how to

560
00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:52,440
get the best sound with their equipment, Like do you

561
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:55,279
find that and does that factor into because you've recorded

562
00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:57,880
a lot of different places, does that factor into your

563
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,119
decisions on where to go?

564
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:05,759
Speaker 2: You're exactly right with that. I mean I've recorded at

565
00:30:05,799 --> 00:30:09,559
this place in Waltham, mass called Willie Mammoth Studios. I've

566
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:11,519
heard of that a few times with my buddy Jeff

567
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,920
who I went overseas with and played the Spain shows

568
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:21,880
and stuff, and the main producer in that, I mean

569
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,599
the one we worked with. I don't know. There's probably

570
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,480
a couple of people that run the board there, but

571
00:30:25,559 --> 00:30:28,400
I've worked with them a couple of times now, actually

572
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,880
I think I did. I did this documentary called Stick

573
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,680
It to the Man there where we did a live session. Yeah,

574
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,000
I've worked on a couple of times. It's Dave Minihan

575
00:30:39,359 --> 00:30:42,839
is his name. He's from that band The Neighborhoods.

576
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,359
Speaker 1: That name has come up on the show a bunch

577
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:45,960
of times.

578
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: It's a rock star. Yeah, he's in the replacements now

579
00:30:49,319 --> 00:30:50,119
and isn't isn't he?

580
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Is he Kirk Minihan's brother.

581
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:53,039
Speaker 2: I don't know.

582
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:57,119
Speaker 1: Kirk Minihan the Kirk Manhane's a sports broadcaster from Boston.

583
00:30:58,279 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: You know, you could be right. I never even put

584
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:00,880
the connection together.

585
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: But and even even if they're not brothers, they have

586
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:05,359
to be related something. Minihan's not a naming here all

587
00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:07,640
the time. But I think I think that they're actually brothers.

588
00:31:07,839 --> 00:31:10,039
But but but yeah, Dave Minahan, that name's come up,

589
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,680
have you America, I think mention them. I don't know

590
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,799
if you know them, Boston band, They've been on the show.

591
00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: I think they.

592
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the first interview where I heard that

593
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,880
name was from those guys. I think they recorded there.

594
00:31:22,119 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a heck of a place, man,

595
00:31:24,079 --> 00:31:30,720
It's He's so. I think. So Rhino Records does this

596
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:33,920
like best of the New York scene, best of like

597
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:38,160
you know, Boston a compilation with has the cars on it,

598
00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:41,039
the real kids on it, and the neighborhoods is like

599
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:44,079
the first song on it, you know, yeah, mission a

600
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:49,200
Burma like all those classic punk songs, you know. Yeah,

601
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:54,720
So just that alone was like whoa. But but he

602
00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:57,920
also adds a really cool like vibe to the room,

603
00:31:58,079 --> 00:32:01,720
like he knows what what to what to look for.

604
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,519
You know. Yeah, at first I was kind of nervous

605
00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:07,039
meeting him to tell you the truth human like us,

606
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:09,759
and yeah, of course, and they he does a lot

607
00:32:09,799 --> 00:32:13,200
of real to real you know, really no kidding. Like

608
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:19,279
there's another guy, there's Mike, Mike, Mike Kennedy from the

609
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:23,440
All American Rejects. That's a huge band, huge famous band,

610
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,359
and my buddy just went and recorded with him weekend.

611
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:30,200
You know you kind of. I think a lot of

612
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,480
people are doing that now, you know, on their part time,

613
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,200
like you get you go there for the talent and

614
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:39,880
the vibe and like, you know, it's cool, it's a

615
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,359
cool feel.

616
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well it also makes sense too, I think if

617
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,599
you're you know, if you're in a big band like

618
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,759
All American Rejects for example. You know a lot of

619
00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:51,279
bands aren't. They're not touring as much now because it's

620
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:54,160
gotten so expensive to travel. So you know, to be

621
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,880
able to do something like that, you know, work with

622
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,880
other bands, whether it's whether it's at a recording studio,

623
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,160
bill hoilding that or or or getting into some other

624
00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:06,839
aspect of the music business that helps you know, younger

625
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,039
up and coming talent, you know it only, which probably

626
00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:12,480
also is very fulfilling for for a lot of these

627
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:14,279
folks too. To be to be able to do that,

628
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:17,599
you know, to help the next generations that are coming up.

629
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,319
And uh, you know once you know, once they've already

630
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:22,119
got their fame, you know, why not pass on that

631
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:25,519
knowledge and experience and those resources. But also too, it

632
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,599
gives them something to do because you know, like I said,

633
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,200
I mean, who was it that there was a band,

634
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,200
a pretty big band recently that actually canceled their tour

635
00:33:33,319 --> 00:33:36,039
because of low ticket sales and they just said, it's

636
00:33:36,079 --> 00:33:38,480
not what was it the Deftones, They just said it's

637
00:33:38,519 --> 00:33:41,240
not it's not worth it, whereas it's not gonna We're

638
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,160
not even gonna bother, you know. So I mean, I

639
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,880
don't know if those guys are doing anything to help

640
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,440
help other bands, but but maybe they are. But but

641
00:33:49,759 --> 00:33:51,319
it's great to make those connections.

642
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: And it goes both ways too. Sometimes. I mean, like

643
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:57,480
as far as Dave Minihan was everything I expected and more.

644
00:33:57,559 --> 00:34:00,519
That guy's like a top top shelf. Yeah, you know,

645
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:02,440
he knows his stuff and he's been in some of

646
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,319
the coolest bands, you know, like Billy Joe Armstrong from

647
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,960
Green Day did Coachella with the Replacements, he like hopped

648
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,400
on their tour. They didn't like ask him to do it.

649
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,599
He came up to them and was like can I play?

650
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, like.

651
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:24,639
Speaker 2: Imagine that, you know, like holy crap, the stories, you know.

652
00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:27,719
But then I was like so stoked to go work

653
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,199
with Tom Hamilton because the Lemonheads connection and the guy

654
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,559
was sort of a mess, you know, like really the

655
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:38,360
songs came out great, they took like four or five

656
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,719
months to finish, you know. And I'm not going to

657
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,760
talk to her anything. I'm not going to talk trash

658
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:45,239
or anything.

659
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: Sorry, We're we're on. I caught it.

660
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk that. But yeah, sorry, but

661
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,079
he he wasn't what I expected, you know. So that's

662
00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:58,519
what I meant. It goes both ways. Sometimes you work

663
00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:00,760
with your idols and you love it. Sometimes you work

664
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,280
with your idols and you learn a little bit, you know,

665
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,039
of humility and like they're not exactly what you think

666
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:08,639
they are. Yeah, And sometimes you just you work with

667
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,639
your friends. Yeah, and for you know, you pay a

668
00:35:11,679 --> 00:35:13,320
lot of money to work with someone that you don't

669
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,599
know and you don't get what you want, or you

670
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,800
pay almost nothing to work with one of your best

671
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,719
friends and you make something together.

672
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:21,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

673
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then someone else here is and then like,

674
00:35:23,679 --> 00:35:25,719
where did you go? Oh, you didn't go to a

675
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,760
five hundred dollar an hour studio. You went to a

676
00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:32,039
twenty buck an hour studio, Right, Can I go there? Sure?

677
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:33,840
I'll call Ryan and see if he can do it,

678
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,639
you know. Yeah, that's what it's about nowadays. For me,

679
00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:38,679
at least, I'm trying to get the next I'm trying

680
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,159
to make memories and make music with like up and

681
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,360
coming people, new people.

682
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that makes sense, That makes sense. We should

683
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,639
clarify too, for anyone who's listening who's confused. Obviously not

684
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,239
the same Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith. No, in case anyone thinks,

685
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,920
you know, there's probably a million.

686
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 2: I thought it was him for the longest time, did you.

687
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,119
Speaker 1: Yeah?

688
00:35:56,159 --> 00:35:59,159
Speaker 2: I did. I thought maybe when I walked into his

689
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,440
house it would be the bass player of Varus Smith.

690
00:36:01,639 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

691
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how.

692
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,039
Speaker 1: Much I know you're You're probably going there thinking, I

693
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:07,960
wonder if I ask him, will he play the bassline

694
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,920
the sweet Emotion? Yeah, Tom Hamilton's probably there's probably a

695
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,559
million Tom Hamilton's out there. Those are both such common names,

696
00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:18,360
Tom and Hamilton. But yeah, well that's too bad that

697
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,360
that he wasn't that great. But you know, yeah, they

698
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,559
say don't meet your heroes, but then again, you know,

699
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,480
some of your heroes turn out to be pretty awesome,

700
00:36:25,639 --> 00:36:28,360
so you know, that's that's the risk that you take.

701
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,719
But but it sounds like you've had a lot of

702
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,400
positive experiences and got to work with some great people.

703
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,199
So that's awesome.

704
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's awesome.

705
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean, have you have you had moments along the

706
00:36:37,519 --> 00:36:39,039
way where you just kind of go, I can't believe.

707
00:36:39,159 --> 00:36:41,440
I can't believe I'm getting to do this and and

708
00:36:41,559 --> 00:36:44,000
work with this person and have this opportunity. You ever

709
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:45,679
kind of just pinch yourself and go Wow.

710
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean there was a long time that I

711
00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:55,559
thought I deserved it more than I did. Really, it's

712
00:36:55,639 --> 00:36:58,800
been very humbling lately. You know, I've made a lot

713
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,800
of changes, and I think I'm on the right path

714
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,599
where I can acknowledge everything that's happening in a good way.

715
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,320
I've learned, Yeah, which is you know, it's the light.

716
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Was there was there anything specific that that kind

717
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,159
of caused that? Or is that more just a gradual

718
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,960
thing over time where you just kind of grow and evolve.

719
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 2: And I mean, I I guess I drank a little

720
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,000
too much when I was younger, and like, you know

721
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,559
that that might have put a stint on it. You

722
00:37:32,599 --> 00:37:35,000
know I would I'll put it like this. You know,

723
00:37:36,159 --> 00:37:39,960
I thought I was entitled, you know, like, oh, I

724
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:41,800
know how to play the song you have? You should

725
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,400
really bring me. I'm on the record, you know I

726
00:37:44,559 --> 00:37:48,599
deserve this. No like blah blah blah, instead of you know,

727
00:37:48,679 --> 00:37:51,039
a hundred other people could be coming on this, right,

728
00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:54,480
you know, you brought me instead of one hundred different people.

729
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,519
I'm grateful, like getting off the bus and being like

730
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,239
where's the bar instead of like how can I help

731
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,079
you carry something? Yeah, just little things like that that,

732
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,199
you know, thinking back at it now, it's like, oh,

733
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,119
just just do the next right thing now and you'll

734
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:15,719
be good. There you go, There you go the past

735
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:16,880
and the future is unknown.

736
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, exactly exactly. No, I like that. Let's play

737
00:38:21,559 --> 00:38:26,079
another track. Let's see we should play because we played

738
00:38:27,079 --> 00:38:33,519
we played Being Around, and we played reason. Oh what's

739
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:33,920

740
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: Oh?

00:38:35,119 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: I would I really like this one?

742
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,519

Speaker 4: It's God's true.

752
00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:25,599

766
00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 7: Yeah.

767
00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:48,559
Speaker 2: That was one of the first songs I ever recorded solo.

768
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:55,000
I recorded all the parts myself on it, of the drums,

769
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:58,039
the bass, the guitar. I went to the Atkinson studio

770
00:41:58,519 --> 00:42:01,440
well with my not my self, my daughter came with me,

771
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:05,960
and she sang all the harmonies and sang all the backups.

772
00:42:06,639 --> 00:42:09,360
So that's a real special one. Little girl and I

773
00:42:09,519 --> 00:42:12,320
would are pretty much just me and my daughter.

774
00:42:12,639 --> 00:42:13,599
Speaker 1: Oh that's really cool.

775
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,079
Speaker 2: That's really cool, Cara strong shout out.

776
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,039
Speaker 1: Does she does she have music of her own too

777
00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:21,920
that she's doing or what's her her kind of musical trajectory?

778
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? She she hasn't released anything yet. I know she will.

779
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,760
She's got a beautiful voice and she plays guitar really

780
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:31,159
well too.

781
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:36,159
Speaker 1: Okay, very good, Yeah, very good. We are the time

782
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,719
goes so quick. We are we're running out of time, Dave.

783
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,400
But before we run out of time and we I

784
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,000
do want to get this one last track and two

785
00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:45,599
nights in jail to end the show today. But by

786
00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:47,000
the way, is that based on any kind of a

787
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,039
true story?

788
00:42:50,599 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 2: Not particularly, I plead the fifth.

789
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: Okay, that's why, Well, I didn't know if maybe Joe

790
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,199
King's roommate had done something to get you in trouble

791
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,679
and then you and because that would be a reason

792
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:00,400
to hey him.

793
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: It's got it's got a teeny back story about a

794
00:43:04,639 --> 00:43:08,679
scorn lover type deale. But next time we'll talk about.

795
00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:12,599
Speaker 1: It understood, understood. Do you have any shows? Are you
