00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Jewel in Manchester. Yes, yeah, so we we we We

168
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,279
did the show the first few times we did it

169
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:12,879
at Jewel and last year we did it in Lowell

170
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:14,279
at That was a lot of fun.

171
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 12: And I still think it's tafaa.

172
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: Every every time I know we talked about this, I know,

173
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:24,000
I know we talked about this last year, But every

174
00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:26,080
time you say t Feta I think of cheese because

175
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,000
I love feta cheese.

176
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,159
Speaker 6: It is.

177
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: Definitely I want a Greek salad now, I desperately want

178
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,000
a Greek salad.

179
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:40,799
Speaker 12: Anyway, I'm sorry.

180
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,039
Speaker 11: Swarmy Fest is a is a community event and a

181
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,080
lot of the things that we do there is by request. Okay,

182
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,320
so by request we're back at Manchester. Yes, yes, you know,

183
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,720
for the drive and this isn't Stepsist show. This isn't

184
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,879
stepsis Fest with the hosts and organizers of the show,

185
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:10,039
and most importantly it's something that we decided to do

186
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,600
to really showcase new bands every year to our friends

187
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,879
and our fans and fans of our band.

188
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, we've met a lot of great bands through through you.

189
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 11: Oh that's kind of like what we do and through

190
00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:30,200
the through the festival. Yeah, some people might think that

191
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,440
it's like a hallmark or maybe even a gimmick or something,

192
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,679
but we really that the support and local bands thing

193
00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:39,799
is not just something we do on Facebook and Swarmy

194
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:43,559
Fest is part of that. That's how we want to

195
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,159
be able to show our work and take it out

196
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,759
of the comment sections, take it out of the podcasts.

197
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,360
It's one thing to sound fancy on Instagram. Support local

198
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:00,840
and the whole bit. But what we was like, out

199
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:04,079
of the the lockdowns and the pandemic stuff, we met

200
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,039
so many people online. And we are one of those

201
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,759
local bands that are lucky enough to have fans from

202
00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:14,400
all over the world. Yeah, and we'd always have people

203
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:20,839
fantasizing with us on Twitch in our various streams about hey,

204
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,119
someday when we get out of this thing, someday when

205
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,319
we get out of the joint, you know, we're all

206
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,160
gonna no. But it was like that, Yeah, we all

207
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,519
shared that, and it was like, hey, one day we

208
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,039
all got to get together and hang out and have

209
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440
a festival. And this was our fans on Twitch. This

210
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:41,400
is our fans on the right, people that we've never

211
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:44,319
met before, not people in town. You know, it's hard

212
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,599
enough trying to get your friends and family and people,

213
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,640
let your neighbors to support music. But we're lucky enough

214
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,799
to have people all over the country and all over

215
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,920
the world that support us. And we'd always kick around

216
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,680
the idea, you know, maybe because the band doesn't have

217
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:02,039
a huge budget to tour, because it's difficult for local

218
00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:05,319
and regional acts to move around. We kind of joked

219
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,400
humbly at the idea of everybody just coming to see

220
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:12,400
us because the band couldn't We couldn't get out of

221
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,599
the state, we couldn't get out of the region. We

222
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:20,319
had minimal touring experience, and are really the biggest fans

223
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,160
of our band are people that invest in us long term.

224
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,640
We found that the biggest supporters and fans of our

225
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:34,079
band are the people that don't just leave criticism, but

226
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,200
they're here to watch the band grow, and they're big investors,

227
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,640
not only just like buying tickets and supporting us that way,

228
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:48,079
but they're also they also invest in the band longevity

229
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,240
and they're here to stay. So it's so hard for

230
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,359
bands to tour, and a lot of people would say, oh,

231
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,359
we you know, a lot of bands get this. You

232
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,519
should be bigger, or we think you guys should play

233
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:02,920
this venue, or you guys should be so much bigger,

234
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,960
and that could be encouraging to hear, and sometimes it

235
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,880
could for some bands that could be like, oh gosh,

236
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,160
we've heard that a lot you know, you guys should

237
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,200
be so much bigger or better, And depending on what

238
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,799
side of the bed you woke up on that day,

239
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,079
it could be a compliment. So at a combination of

240
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,599
our biggest supporters. They came up with the idea of

241
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,759
all getting together, choosing a date and everybody flying in,

242
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,279
all of our twitch fans, all of our online fans

243
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:34,680
wanted to do a show. And as we got closer,

244
00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:38,839
you know, to two thousand and one, closer to the

245
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,599
first time we did the show, we took the challenge

246
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,960
on as a reality and we just booked the date.

247
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:51,000
It happened that a lot of our fans and people

248
00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:54,079
flying in had some time off, and that's how this

249
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,039
whole thing started.

250
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 5: And people continue to fly out to this thing, I

251
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,599
mean from all over.

252
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, so it's it's kind of like a super fan experience,

253
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:11,680
and we call it Swarmy Fest because the swarmies aren't

254
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:13,519
just like the fans of Sepsis. You've got people that

255
00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:16,200
are fans of your band or fans of wrestling or whatever,

256
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,160
but they, you know, they don't mind talking a little

257
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,079
crap about you, you know in the back hallway. A

258
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:26,400
swarmy is somebody that's a little bit bigger than a fan.

259
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,720
It's bigger than somebody that that just comes out for

260
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:34,000
the music. Swarmies are people that publicly support Sepsis, publicly

261
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,079
have been storing uh been following the storyline. People have

262
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,759
been day one ers, people who are very cognitive and

263
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,720
self aware about our mission, about our message and what

264
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:50,000
we're trying to do. That's what swarmies are. Yeah, they're

265
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,640
you know, they're they're the super super duper fan. They're

266
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,839
they're the next possible thing that you can be as

267
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,720
a band staff member or an actual band member. So

268
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,000
that's why we call it Swarmy Fest because it's really

269
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,720
it's their show, and they fly in, they drive in

270
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,480
our of course, our fans locally and our friends all

271
00:21:09,559 --> 00:21:13,960
help us our responses and all the bands. The twist

272
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,839
is each because they made it, Because they make it

273
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,359
an annual thing. You'll recognize some people over the years,

274
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,119
and because of it, we all curate the show together.

275
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,000
Everything is by request. If they want a food truck,

276
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:32,240
they get a food truck. If they want more hair

277
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:35,279
metal bands, we do more hair metal bands. If we want,

278
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:39,000
you know, dancing cage girls, we do cage girls. If

279
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:42,079
we want balloon animals, we listen to what the Swarmies

280
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,839
are looking to do. We make improvements from the year before,

281
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,079
and that's what it's all about, and bringing in of course,

282
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,279
not only bringing bands that we love to work with

283
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,839
and bands we want to work with, because that's the

284
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,319
bands that.

285
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,759
Speaker 12: Play on Swarmy Fests.

286
00:21:56,759 --> 00:21:59,519
Speaker 11: Other bands that we really loved, we love their music,

287
00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:01,960
we hire them, we look up to them, and we

288
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,799
either work with them in the past or we really

289
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,519
want to work with them now. So that's why you

290
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,240
see the bands that you see each year on Swarmy Fest.

291
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,440
They are also bands that want to work with us.

292
00:22:13,079 --> 00:22:17,400
We're firm and believing that bands do better when they

293
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,400
work with the bands that they want to work with.

294
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,559
Of course, because everybody treats the show as one baby.

295
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,400
Everybody treats the show. Everybody comes in together, everybody leaves together,

296
00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:31,119
and we're all working towards the same goals.

297
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 12: So each year, the fans, the sponsors, the bands.

298
00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 11: And everybody that's involved is all working and hoping for

299
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:45,759
the same outcome, and everybody's resonating towards the same goals,

300
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:47,400
and you get brand new bands every year.

301
00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, And.

302
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 22: Another thing that makes Swarmy Fest so big and special

303
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:54,519
and why it keeps getting bigger and bigger is the

304
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,799
fact that this is all the swarmys Idea down to

305
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,240
the name Swarmy Fest named it. We didn't name it

306
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:03,079
Swarmy Fast. They named it.

307
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 11: Were like, what are we going to call it?

308
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,559
Speaker 22: And another thing too that makes it so big and

309
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,720
so special is the fact that all these bands throughout

310
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,599
the years all run over to our messages and they're dying.

311
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:19,880
They look forward to playing, and they look forward to

312
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,119
it every year. It's like something that they look forward.

313
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 11: It's really sad to turn people away because there's so

314
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:27,359
many people.

315
00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 12: That haven't had the opportunity to play at a place.

316
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 22: Like this, and it really goes into like a new

317
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:36,799
form of like content creation and being in a band,

318
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,680
and that's making a community like the made us want

319
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:46,559
to do Swarmy Fest is the fact not only do

320
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,960
they want to see us and meet us, but they

321
00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:54,119
wanted to meet each other just as bad. They wanted

322
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,119
to make new friends just as bad within the Sepsis community.

323
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:02,759
And that is why we really strive to do what

324
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,319
they ask us to take those requests and keep it

325
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,839
going every year because it's built such a strong community

326
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,079
that not only do the Swarmies make friends and bring

327
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,359
their friends to Swarmy Fest and make friends to the

328
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,440
other bands, fans and things, but other bands look forward

329
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:26,400
and die almost and like dietively.

330
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,799
Speaker 11: I want to She's touching on something though, because when

331
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:29,720
we came out of the lockdowns, and we came out

332
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,000
of not playing music for years of being on stage

333
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:35,160
or seeing our friends, it did feel claustrophoba.

334
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 12: It was hard to get back out.

335
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,319
Speaker 11: And Swarmy Fest was a big part of encouraging people

336
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,599
to heal and get back out and get in the

337
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,240
room together and make new friends and and and and

338
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,480
and and regrow our credibility with each other. So Swarmy She's.

339
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 12: Right about that.

340
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 22: It proves that music has died.

341
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 11: And when and when true fans of music can't get

342
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,480
out there and have that experience and that can activity,

343
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:04,160
it feels like you're dying when us as music musician,

344
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,079
people tell me to light up, lighting up all the time.

345
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 12: No, and I don't want to. Music is my life.

346
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 11: So for some people that you know, their kids are

347
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,759
their life and and and I could tell them to

348
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:17,079
lighten up about it, you know, when when their kid

349
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,000
loses a soccer game. I don't lighten up about music

350
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,039
because music saved my life. Guitar saved my life. It's

351
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,279
responsible for my sobriety. It's responsible for the best decisions

352
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:30,279
I've ever made in my life. It keeps me happy

353
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,720
saying healthy. It's responsible for my best loves, my my my,

354
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,240
my most deepest friendships. So I don't lighten up about

355
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:42,000
music because music and art, one word, one poem can

356
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,359
change the course of humanity.

357
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: Oh well, well said, well said. Oh by the way, too,

358
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:50,680
you were talking about uh, you know, bands, new new

359
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,000
bands and so forth being added, and I was very excited.

360
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,079
Silent Season.

361
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 12: Oh my god, the show.

362
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:06,039
Speaker 5: We've got Island seasons, scarecrow Hill, what is going on?

363
00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:09,200
And Temptress.

364
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's knockdown stuff.

365
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 11: It's not I'm so thrilled. I'm so thrilled. It's crazy.

366
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,680
And the Silent Season thing. We've been trying to get

367
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,559
Silent Season on Swarmy Fest for two.

368
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,759
Speaker 12: Years, no kidding. Yeah, that's the fun. That's the fun part.

369
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 11: And they're they're they're awesome dudes, and and they've been

370
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,559
so cool every year they wanted to play. They've just

371
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,680
had so much cooler things going on.

372
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 12: Not the swarming Fest isn't cool.

373
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,599
Speaker 11: But you know, when you're when you're advancing, when you're

374
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,799
spiraling up, you know, you know you want to you

375
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,440
want to root for people, like Lexie was talking about,

376
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,119
you really want to root for people in your neighborhood

377
00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:52,799
when they're doing well. Because when it when you're doing well,

378
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:56,240
we can it's a sign that we can all do well.

379
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,039
Speaker 12: Exactly exactly.

380
00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 11: Biration happens at the top, competition happens at the bottom.

381
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,599
Speaker 2: Right, right, We should talk too about So Lexi, you're

382
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:10,000
in the band now so used to be used to

383
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,279
be officially the merch girl, right, but but you were

384
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:16,000
already like really an integral part of things, right, Yes,

385
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:16,400
So I.

386
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 22: Did start off as the merch girl. I've been in

387
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,880
the band for six years as the merch girl. Yeah,

388
00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:26,519
and podcaster and podcaster and screaming within the last couple

389
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:28,799
of years. That is not going away, by the way,

390
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,880
I'm still going to be screaming. But keyboards popped up

391
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,480
within the summer actually of this year.

392
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 11: Okay, Lexie's a drummer, yeah, Todd.

393
00:27:38,519 --> 00:27:42,079
Speaker 22: The drums and drums, drums, I love it, and that's

394
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:42,960
not going away either.

395
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,319
Speaker 5: Basically a percussionists.

396
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,279
Speaker 22: Yeah, and the keyboards. I didn't really know it first

397
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,839
until until the summertime when we started talking about playing

398
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,920
keyboards because the spot's been open for quite some time

399
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,839
and they wanted to have the keyboards back. And I've

400
00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:01,799
been doing percushion and rhythm on the drums, and they're like, well,

401
00:28:02,279 --> 00:28:06,039
there's another instrument out there that could help with your

402
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,400
percussion musical journey, and that's the keyboard.

403
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,319
Speaker 11: That's piano's kind of percussion. People debate about that.

404
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 5: I look more like that.

405
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 22: It's pretty rhythmic. It has its own rhythm, it has

406
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,160
its own little space. It's kind of like sneaky kind

407
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,160
of is it a.

408
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 11: String instrument or is it a percussion instrument?

409
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:23,599
Speaker 1: Is it?

410
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,319
Speaker 2: Because you know when you know the way it's built there,

411
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:31,720
that's what. I don't know the terminology, but when you

412
00:28:31,759 --> 00:28:35,559
push the keys on a piano, it strikes again. I

413
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:36,279
don't know the terminal.

414
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 22: Like it has its own pattern and stuff. Especially with

415
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,359
playing stepsis. They the keyboards have like its own pattern

416
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,839
along with everything. It's not separate, it is along with it. Yeah,

417
00:28:48,039 --> 00:28:50,640
those in the little spaces kind of like atmospheric is

418
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,680
how we kind of use the.

419
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,079
Speaker 5: Keyboards of atmospheric. It can be.

420
00:28:54,839 --> 00:28:57,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, it so a lot, especially a lot of the

421
00:28:57,599 --> 00:28:59,960
modern bands and with with a lot of the technology

422
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:02,759
up there. A lot of bands have lap A lot

423
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:04,480
of bands we play with, especially when we do the

424
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:10,960
bigger festivals of the shows, the national bands, the big

425
00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:16,440
touring bands, they all have backtracks, laptops, light shows, and

426
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:19,640
so they have all us to fill in and it

427
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:25,480
sounds great, and I'm just for us. We always want

428
00:29:25,519 --> 00:29:28,039
to try to as much as we could. We wanted

429
00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:31,279
to try to play the music as close as we

430
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,759
could to the records, but there's some layering in there.

431
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:40,039
And we're originally a six piece band, so when you

432
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:43,000
take the keyboards out of the band, there's a lot

433
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:46,920
of work that we have to do on stage, the

434
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,960
guitar players and the technology that we have on stage,

435
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,279
if you've seen us recently, just our pedal boards, backup vocals,

436
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:55,759
we have to do a lot to try to fill

437
00:29:55,799 --> 00:30:00,279
in that space with a keyboard is and a lot

438
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:03,720
of bands, national bands, you know, you got to play

439
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:07,599
night tonight, so they use backtracks with sometimes the backup

440
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,319
vocals on and actual keyboard layerings. And it's not because

441
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:13,759
they're evil people. It's because they're trying to keep their

442
00:30:13,839 --> 00:30:15,960
jobs and they're trying to keep their voices and they're

443
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,839
trying to stay on stage every night because touring is

444
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,759
difficult and to get on night after night you might

445
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:25,440
need some extra technology to push you. Yeah, we're not

446
00:30:25,559 --> 00:30:28,240
a national band or a touring band, so we want

447
00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:31,279
to take advantage of that so we get to have

448
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,920
a good rest before every show. Yeah, right, So we

449
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:38,279
really want to avoid we always have up until this point.

450
00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:41,640
We have a big, rich, robust sound, but we want

451
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,640
to avoid as much as possible bringing computers up there

452
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,200
and you know, having to log into the Wi Fi

453
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,480
and look for Bluetooth just to play music. So that's

454
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,519
why we love having a keyboard player in the band.

455
00:30:58,079 --> 00:31:00,359
And for a while there we were like, come planning

456
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,160
like something we need a DJ, Like we need a DJ,

457
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:05,440
or we need a some sort of thing.

458
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 12: You know.

459
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,519
Speaker 11: We just felt like we were ready for it. Yeah,

460
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:10,599
and like it's like, well, I'll do it.

461
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:11,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, there you go.

462
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,519
Speaker 22: Spot popped up and it was over the summer. Never

463
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,640
touched a keyboard, and I was like, I'll try it out,

464
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:17,119
I'll learn.

465
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:17,559
Speaker 20: Yeah.

466
00:31:17,599 --> 00:31:20,759
Speaker 22: At first, I was a little skeptical because I have

467
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,279
tendonitis in my hands. Oh really, so playing with the

468
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,680
fingers and everything, I was like, I don't know if

469
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,279
this is going to trigger something. Yeah, but I was

470
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:33,759
playing through it and looking online at some of the

471
00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:37,759
other people that play keyboards and pianos and stuff and

472
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,640
have the same issues. They were able to come up

473
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,680
with exercises and stretchings and things to help prevent stuff

474
00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:48,400
like that. So I am like, so on top of

475
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:51,000
every time before I play the keyboard, I have to stretch.

476
00:31:51,039 --> 00:31:53,079
I have to warm up my fingers just in order

477
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,079
to play, so that I can continue to play, play

478
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,599
in sepsis and not have it trigger.

479
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:01,799
Speaker 5: You also had to learn correct posture.

480
00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:06,559
Speaker 22: Finger positioning. It's something to learn the music like you're

481
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:09,799
playing a C minor, but my fingers might want of

482
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,880
my thumb might want to be on the black finger

483
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,240
placement is on top. Is a big not intricate, but

484
00:32:17,319 --> 00:32:20,799
a big part of playing the keyboard alone, just knowing what.

485
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,799
Speaker 11: It is absolutely and staying on stage for years. We

486
00:32:23,839 --> 00:32:25,119
would talk about longevity.

487
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 12: You know, this is wow, this is our fourteenth year

488
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:31,920
as a band.

489
00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 11: So in order to be a band in New England,

490
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:41,160
in order to be a surviving local band, you need longevity.

491
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 12: You know, you have to have You can't.

492
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 11: Screw people over, you can't burn a lot of bridges.

493
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:50,599
You can't go broke, you can't. You can't have health problems,

494
00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:55,279
you can't have drug habits, you can't have issues with

495
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,680
the law, you can't have tons of debt, and you

496
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:03,400
can't and have well, you know what we all have

497
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,359
is uh if if you're my age and you're still

498
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,680
in the band as you have lower back pain, so

499
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,839
let's see touched on it. If you want to stay

500
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,720
on stage, you got to stretch, right if you're going

501
00:33:16,759 --> 00:33:20,880
to live. You know, we don't people. It was always

502
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,960
our plan to be in a band forever.

503
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:23,359
Speaker 16: Ye.

504
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 11: This is a legacy and forever band. And that's why

505
00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:30,240
we've never worried about getting rich or being famous because

506
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,960
this is who we are. It's not something we want

507
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,359
to become. Right, So if this is who we are,

508
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,920
we have to be ourselves every day. Every day I

509
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,920
wake up brown, I can't you know so I so

510
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,359
every day I wake upsis every day I wake up

511
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:45,640
in the band. I'm not a hobbyist. This isn't a

512
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,559
side gig for me. So because it is who I am,

513
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,400
I have to be sound mind, I have to be

514
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,200
I have to do yoga, I.

515
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 5: Have to.

516
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 11: There's a lot that goes on outside of what we

517
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:02,720
do in a twenty second clip or a thirty minute set.

518
00:34:03,079 --> 00:34:06,160
There's a lot more stretching, there's a lot more eating, Yep,

519
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,679
there's a lot more therapy. There's a lot more friendship

520
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,239
that's going on, you know, behind the scenes.

521
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: That makes sense. That makes sense. So will this be

522
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:17,920
at Swormy Fest? LEXI, will this be your debut as

523
00:34:18,559 --> 00:34:20,840
a keyboard player? Because you've been on stage with the

524
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,320
band before, screaming right next.

525
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 12: I remember that.

526
00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 22: Yeah, but this definitely this will be the first keyboard performance.

527
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:30,360
Will be at Stormy Fest.

528
00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 12: Okay, okay, excellent. Are you nervous?

529
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,039
Speaker 22: I'm not gonna lie. I am a little bit. Yeah,

530
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:41,719
she's like I am now, And it's mainly because of

531
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,360
the whole just being in the experience of it all. Like, yeah,

532
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:46,599
it's not just because the people are watching me. It's

533
00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:49,079
the is the fact that this is the first time

534
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,360
ever I'm playing an instrument.

535
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 11: And not only he's accountable, she's a great friend. She

536
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:56,800
doesn't want to let her friends down.

537
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 22: But like in a band with a group of other people,

538
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:03,119
he also playing instrument. It's not in my room right

539
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,199
with people professionals front of others on a stage, so

540
00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:11,199
that part of the experience is what makes me a

541
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:11,880
little nervous.

542
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah.

543
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 22: It's so used to playing music in the living room,

544
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,039
right right, yea other people and like.

545
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,119
Speaker 11: And like, Lexi's the baby of the bunch. Everything that

546
00:35:23,199 --> 00:35:27,119
she's experienced in the band, she's always been the youngest

547
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,760
one or the least she's she's right, she's picking up

548
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,239
the drums for the first time, or she's playing video

549
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,360
games for the first time, or it was her first

550
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,440
time on podcasting. But you know, now everybody knows her

551
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,320
for podcasting, and I think she's gonna do just as

552
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,039
good it this says she does and other things that

553
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,880
Lexi seems to do good at everything she tries to

554
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,960
do or wants to do.

555
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,079
Speaker 12: There you go, there you go excellent. Can you talk

556
00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:58,360
about the podcast too, Yeah, So it's new. Okay, it's new.

557
00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:00,280
We're still kind of working on it. Yeah.

558
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 11: So the the the newest version is called The Sepsist Show,

559
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:10,920
and the Stepsist Show is really a jambalaya, a compilation

560
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,880
of all of our best live streams. So originally we

561
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,920
had the Metal Honeys podcast all right, o, Lexi, that

562
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,880
was the very first podcast that we did. Then we

563
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,920
had the Honeycomb hide Out. The girls had their live

564
00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:26,800
stream which is a little bit different as you know

565
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,920
Swarm TV and Swarm TV was like more like band

566
00:36:31,039 --> 00:36:35,159
news and band updates. And then we had Honeycomb Hideout

567
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,039
version two point zero with me zach Our bass player

568
00:36:39,679 --> 00:36:43,119
and and Lexi, and then I decided to do it

569
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,599
alone for a little while and William Versus the World, which, oh, yes,

570
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,079
which is much more like a kinetic Yeah, it was

571
00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:55,519
a good show. It was a lot on Yeah, but

572
00:36:56,599 --> 00:36:59,000
you know, me yelling at people a lot.

573
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,679
Speaker 5: But but I mean you haven't gone anywhere though now, So.

574
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 11: There is now all of those shows kind of fit

575
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:11,840
in to our segments. So now there's a William versus.

576
00:37:11,639 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 12: The World part. I think that's smart.

577
00:37:14,639 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 11: There is there's there's so now the Swarm TV that

578
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:21,119
was there before is there now. It's just in the

579
00:37:21,159 --> 00:37:23,840
beginning of the show as a segment. And then we

580
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,840
move on to articles and we talk about like the

581
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,159
Rock Metal Reset stuff where we're still doing the educational

582
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,519
you know, teaching people about YouTube, you know, letting people

583
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:37,800
know about updates on Instagram and how to do marketing

584
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:44,400
and basically the technologies is moving so quickly. We use

585
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,760
this stuff to stay up. You know, yes, it's a

586
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,880
podcast and we're teaching people, but we it we're double

587
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,320
dipping here because it's a way for us to stay

588
00:37:54,519 --> 00:37:58,079
up to date with what's coming in matt if we didn't.

589
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,639
Speaker 12: We kind of like multi purpose and this stuff.

590
00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:03,639
Speaker 11: So we get a lot of articles, and we get

591
00:38:03,679 --> 00:38:06,960
a lot on technology and social media and as musicians,

592
00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:09,760
if you want to do what we're doing, Stepsi. This

593
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,880
isn't just a band or models or photographers or videoographers

594
00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:18,599
or streamers or podcasters or marketers. We do commercials. We're everywhere.

595
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,400
So if you're everywhere, you need to know everything. You

596
00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:24,400
need a big toolbox. You need you know, you need

597
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,000
to make friends, you need large networks, you need credibility,

598
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:31,159
you know, you need receipts, you need to be able

599
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:33,480
to come with it, and you need and you need

600
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:35,800
to stay up to date. So we get a lot

601
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,400
of information and we go, oh my god, what are

602
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,559
we going to do with all this information? We bring

603
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:40,679
it on podcast.

604
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,079
Speaker 5: And when it comes to the podcast, I'm the girl

605
00:38:44,199 --> 00:38:49,320
behind the scenes doing all the production. Yeah, I'm the

606
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,800
one in the comments. I might not be like on

607
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,079
the stream anymore. But I do plan on streaming again soon.

608
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,400
I will be back on Twitch this October, like the

609
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,599
first week of October. Okay, I think it's October. Third

610
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,440
is going to be my first live stream.

611
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,119
Speaker 12: Oh, she does everything, crafts.

612
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,079
Speaker 5: Cooking, I'm going to be bringing back a lot of that.

613
00:39:09,199 --> 00:39:12,639
People want to see me painting again, crafting. I'm definitely

614
00:39:12,679 --> 00:39:16,920
going to be doing some jewelry in probably some gaming.

615
00:39:17,199 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 11: Okay, Okay, we sell paintings like I mean, and we

616
00:39:20,599 --> 00:39:23,559
really do. Oh you're in a band and you I

617
00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:30,960
don't know if people notice, but paint, do karaoke, talk

618
00:39:31,039 --> 00:39:31,559
with people.

619
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,199
Speaker 5: You're gonna do all that?

620
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,679
Speaker 11: Do do do drops or radio drops or do commercials.

621
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,559
Speaker 12: I'm not I'm not.

622
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 11: I'm not sure people know how much we make just

623
00:39:45,519 --> 00:39:50,159
being on social media. We don't have personal social media accounts.

624
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:54,440
We're only there to do the Stepsis thing. So because

625
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,559
of it, we built up a relationship with all of

626
00:39:56,639 --> 00:40:01,559
these companies Instagram, Google, and for you bands out there,

627
00:40:03,519 --> 00:40:08,679
instead of posting about your dinner or getting in arguments online,

628
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,159
encourage your band to play music, to talk with people,

629
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:19,360
to podcast, to nick you know, Lexi knits crochets, we paint,

630
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:25,559
use a combination, use everything you got, you know, and

631
00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:29,199
use it not just to make money, but to start

632
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:36,000
conversations and make connections with people. Because Facebook, we don't

633
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,960
just spend a lot of time on Facebook. We don't

634
00:40:39,039 --> 00:40:43,320
just scream at the microphone. Bands. People out there, creators,

635
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,960
people pay Sepsis to go on social media. The social

636
00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:53,519
media companies pay us to be there and talk in

637
00:40:53,639 --> 00:40:56,639
the comments sections. And you could do it too. Yeah,

638
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,480
everybody can be doing this. You don't have to argue

639
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,239
in the comments sections or fill your fill your day

640
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,920
with stress. For those of you that make music or

641
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,519
have skills or talents, and you think, oh, I don't

642
00:41:10,519 --> 00:41:12,960
know if it belongs in the band. I don't know

643
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,599
if it belongs in my business. Work it in, right,

644
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,840
if you can work it in, work it in, especially

645
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,280
the social media. And spent a wasting time and sitting

646
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,199
there and burning out these guys when we go on.

647
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,440
Every time we go on and we put something on

648
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:28,840
social media, remember we're getting paid for it.

649
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 12: Yeah. So if you see me in a twenty if

650
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,000
you see me in a twenty second clip, yeah, it's

651
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:36,480
my jobs. That's good. Yeah.

652
00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of comments By the way, we got somebody

653
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,639
sent this in on the website for people someone I

654
00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:47,360

sets or bands get up there. Because of so many bands,

687
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,400
we like to do a thing called jump sets, where

688
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,159
we all kind of share gear. We're all moving quickly. Yeah,

689

00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,320
that don't know at home, there's not allowed to stand

691
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,920

stage rather quickly, and the sets are short. Yeah, it's

693

good friends are coming in. They might be flying in

734
00:45:24,679 --> 00:45:28,559

735
00:45:28,679 --> 00:45:31,239

736
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,320

there is there. The VIP tables are sold out, unfortunately,

739
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,519

745
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,960
to five people, it's best to get a booth because

772
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,920
But yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to direct. We should

773
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,360
definitely show some love to these sponsors.

774
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, you want to Denay's Creations. Lots of crafters, and

775
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:39,480
I don't mean like corny crafting. These these folks are good.

776
00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 22: I'm talking beautiful stuff.

777
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 12: Apparel, jewelry, yes, everything is.

778
00:47:51,559 --> 00:47:54,559
Speaker 11: Yeah. We have a theme going this year, and that's inclusion.

779
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:01,719
The big theme this year is brown people, gay people, women,

780
00:48:02,679 --> 00:48:07,000
white people, brown people. If you like metal, if you

781
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:12,519
like country, if you're there for for human peace and

782
00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:15,039
you're there to for the music, and you're there for

783
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:18,960
the neighborhood and you're there to make friends, you're welcome there. Yeah,

784
00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:19,679
that's the theme.

785
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,679
Speaker 12: Excellent, outstanding. No, I like that.

786
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,639
Speaker 5: I heard Rain is going to be bringing some cool

787
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,559
Stepsist themed candles.

788
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,079
Speaker 11: Oh there's Yeah, a lot of the crafters are doing

789
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,239
like Swarmy Fest theme stuff or Stepsist theme stuff or

790
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,199
it feels good, the energy is good.

791
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's so much chakra things to chacra set cool.

792
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, and of course again it's it's been hard to

793
00:48:45,079 --> 00:48:48,480
actually get new sponsors because our sponsors are so awesome

794
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,440
every year. That's a good sign when your sponsors want

795
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,400
to come back, and when you want the same sponsors,

796
00:48:56,079 --> 00:49:00,320
it's really good. So Legion of Solace is bad as

797
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,480
our main sponsors shout out to Tuesday and them shout

798
00:49:03,519 --> 00:49:07,079
out to Bruce and they're so awesome.

799
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 23: Actually, God, Legion Bracelet at last year swarming.

800
00:49:13,639 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 12: Right now.

801
00:49:15,639 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 11: And the reason why we keep bringing Legion of Solace

802
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:24,400
back as well as Matt Connorton is because they're perfect fits.

803
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,960
They know, you guys know what we're trying to do.

804
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,800
It's clear English, it's straight lines. And if anybody ever

805
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:38,360
wanted to experience being in a band and having authentic,

806
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,760
legit sponsors come in and sponsor your band and sponsor

807
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:48,840
a local show, Legion of Solace is it. They are

808
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,800
the reason every Swarmy Fest, Legion of Solace has been

809
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:58,360
our main sponsors. And the reason why is because they're legit.

810
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 12: Yep. Absolute.

811
00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 22: I love their new logo and they got it logo

812
00:50:03,559 --> 00:50:04,079

813
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 12: I'll have to check that out. I really want a

814
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:07,320

Speaker 5: I love the art.

816
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,079
Speaker 11: Right, they changed their logo and then you know, we

817
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,119
had the podcast and we got caught wearing the old shirt.

818
00:50:16,119 --> 00:50:17,599

when we get off right, Yes I forget that, yes, yes, well,

822
00:50:25,679 --> 00:50:28,800
speaking of that, So the time does go quickly. So

823
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,159
let's remind everybody where. So where should they go to

824
00:50:31,199 --> 00:50:32,559
get tickets for a Swarmy Fest.

825
00:50:33,199 --> 00:50:36,599
Speaker 5: So there's a link to event, right, you can go

826
00:50:36,639 --> 00:50:39,039
to the website, our website. Oh yeah, go on our

827
00:50:39,079 --> 00:50:39,840
website as well.

828
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,159
Speaker 12: Oh and I like the new site. By the way,

829
00:50:41,159 --> 00:50:41,960
I like to redesign.

830
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 20: Well done.

831
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it looks really good. I'm a website nerd,

832
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,159
so I noticed things like that.

833
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely time for an upgrade. We were feeling like

834
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:55,840
we were stuck in the nineties or something. Yeah, we

835
00:50:56,199 --> 00:50:58,800
had to improve that a little bit. Much easier to

836
00:50:58,960 --> 00:50:59,599
like find.

837
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 12: Our merch The integration is better too.

838
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that there's mad categories. You can just click up.

839
00:51:05,039 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 11: Bands, bands, bands, get a website. It's so impt because

840
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,320
what seriously, all of these crazy oligarchs and all these billionaires,

841
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,079
what if they changed their mind and enclosure storefront. What

842
00:51:18,199 --> 00:51:20,679
if you wake up one day and your Instagram page

843
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,719
is down because of some weird community standard or it's

844
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,639
not even your fault. It could be a technical era,

845
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,599
a misunderstanding. But you don't own the IP. You don't

846
00:51:28,599 --> 00:51:31,320
own them, you're not it's not your register dot com.

847
00:51:31,519 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 12: Yeah that.

848
00:51:32,159 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 11: People ask me all the time. What's the most powerful

849
00:51:34,519 --> 00:51:36,800
thing we've ever done as a band. It's not write

850
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:41,360
a song. It's register a website and own and own our.

851
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 12: Name many home exactly very important.

852
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 11: Just in just in case things go down like they did,

853
00:51:50,039 --> 00:51:52,480
we started in the steps that started in the MySpace era.

854
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,480
We had a MySpace page and we built it and

855
00:51:56,519 --> 00:51:58,320
we built a lot of value on it, remember, and

856
00:51:58,400 --> 00:51:59,639
then one day it went down.

857
00:52:00,119 --> 00:52:04,519
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, absolutely, all right, what's saying you were about

858
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:06,280
