Speaker 3: Yeah that's awesome. And so I assume it's also available

168
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,320
on CD and yeah, that'd be weird to just do

169
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,039
a vinyl release.

170
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 6: Streaming. Yeah, those ten songs are streaming, plus another ten

171
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,759
songs on like Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, deezer.

172
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: All those Okay, is this your only full length album?

173
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Cause I noticed just looking online, it looks like you

174
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,399
put out a lot of singles.

175
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 6: Yeah. I do a lot of singles. So when I started,

176
00:11:32,279 --> 00:11:38,440
I was doing just band camp singles and then like

177
00:11:38,759 --> 00:11:41,360
like I said, my buddy was like, Yo, we can

178
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:47,200
maybe do a compilation like CD tape record maybe, And

179
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,559
that's how that happened. And that's the first ten songs

180
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,080
that I put out. And since I've just I've been

181
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,080
trying to be consistent with my singles. But but there

182
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:03,159
is a plan probably lee in December. Loosely December is

183
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,600
when the next ten songs will go off to press

184
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,000
to be like the Dave Strong second album or whatever.

185
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,200
I don't know the name of it. Yeah, yeah, it'll

186
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,159
be like a blue one or something. It would be cool.

187
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:14,200
And we almost sold out of those. I think we

188
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,519
pressed three hundred and we're about to sell out of

189
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,000
those and we're going to repress that one too, which

190
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:20,720
is really cool.

191
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 3: No, that's amazing. Good for you, man, Good for you.

192
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:27,879
How do you Everyone always say it's this question, but

193
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,720
how do you describe your music for someone who's never

194
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:32,679
heard it? Because pretty eclectic stuff, Like I listened to

195
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,600
a lot of a lot of your music online in

196
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:36,159
addition to the tracks that you sent me, it's really

197
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,399
eclectic and hard to uh. I mean, I wouldn't know

198
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,879
what to tell somebody. Like if somebody said to me,

199
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,600
describe Dave Strong, I'd be like, I don't know. I mean,

200
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,840
there's definitely you know, there's a punk vibe there, but

201
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,720
but a song like uh or be Around, It's like,

202
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,320
I just love that so much. By the way, I

203
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:55,320
love the lyrics, you know.

204
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 6: But I mean, how do you cover? Yeah?

205
00:12:59,159 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: What's that?

206
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:00,519
Speaker 6: It's a song?

207
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:00,879
Speaker 8: Yeah?

208
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,759
Speaker 3: Yeah? Like how do you how do you describe your

209
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,159
music the people who've never heard it?

210
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 6: Usually, so in general, I'll say it's like Green Day

211
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,720
meets Weezer meets the Ramones or something like. I'll i'll

212
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:19,720
kind of stereotype three popular bands that someone might have heard,

213
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,960
you know. But it depends on on who I'm hanging

214
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
out with. If if like a bunch of punk people

215
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:28,000
are like, what do you sound like, I'll be like,

216
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,639
I sound like I'm punk, I'm really punk, check me out.

217
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,799
Or if like my mom or her friends are like,

218
00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:34,639
what what do you sound like, I'll be like, well,

219
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,240
I sound like the Beatles, like a little faster, or

220
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,120
like Eddie I do an Eddie Cochran song, which is

221
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,360
like from the fifties, you know, so like I'll be like, yeah,

222
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,480
maybe I'm like Geene Vincent on speed or something like that,

223
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,399
you know, because some of the songs have upright bass.

224
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,600
So I grew up listening to the Beach Boys and

225
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,360
Oldies and the Beatles. I love harmonies and stuff like that,

226
00:13:57,399 --> 00:14:00,519
you know. And then then I got into like Nirvana

227
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:05,360
and Ramones, so I keep it rock and roll, but yeah,

228
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,080
like catchy poppy rock, I guess.

229
00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. And so now do you always or do you

230
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,159
usually play with a band or do you do a

231
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,919
lot of because I think you had mentioned too you

232
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,799
had recently done a solo show or last night you

233
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,279
had done a solo shower.

234
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,879
Speaker 6: Last night, I did a full band show at O'Brien

235
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,799
and that was awesome.

236
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:24,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great room.

237
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:26,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was great. There was a lot of people

238
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,600
at it too. It was cool. Parking stunk well yeah, yeah,

239
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,840
that are yeah, every supportive, great bands, really cool place.

240
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,559
But I try to play live with a band as

241
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:43,279
much as possible. If somebody asks me to play, I

242
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:47,600
always ask my band first. Yeah, but you know, my

243
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,919
drummer lives in Western mass My second guitarist lives in Connecticut, yeah,

244
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,639
and my bass player lives in Barrington. So we're all

245
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:56,840
like in different states.

246
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,039
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Yeah, it's not like a as expensive or anything.

247
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:03,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we we are going to Germany too,

248
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,960
are Yeah, no kidding, I mean the big shows when

249
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:09,720
it matters. I mean I think every show matters. Yeah,

250
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:13,759
but when when push comes to shove and like it's

251
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:16,799
a Saturday night packed place, they're gonna be there.

252
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,799
Speaker 3: Yeah with me. Yeah, you know.

253
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,159
Speaker 6: But I'm playing next Saturday night in Portland by myself

254
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:26,480
at spring Hill Tavern, Okay, And then I'm playing the

255
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:30,559
week after the fourteenth at Gino's in Portland with a

256
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,039
full band.

257
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:31,519
Speaker 3: Nice.

258
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:33,639
Speaker 6: So you never know, you never know what you're gonna get.

259
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:36,480
I like to I don't like to say no to shows.

260
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:36,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

261
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 6: So like if a show is on a Wednesday night

262
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,200
or something, it's gonna probably be just me right right,

263
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,759
It's like a Saturday night, you know, it's gonna probably

264
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:46,279
be the band.

265
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: Portland's a great scene.

266
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: Is that?

267
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:51,159
Speaker 3: Is that where you're because you're from Maine, right.

268
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, I live pretty close to Portland, maybe like thirty

269
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,919
minutes from Portland.

270
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, people who don't know. I mean, it's

271
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,679
it's kind of Portland's a lot like Boston. I feel

272
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,240
in of the scene and the diversity of it and

273
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:08,559
a lot of different kinds of music there. Do you play,

274
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,039
So are you playing? It sounds like you play a

275
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,120
lot every weekend. Do you have shows?

276
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 6: I've been trying. Yeah, yeah, yep, it's been good.

277
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: And then when you go to Germany, is the full

278
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:18,399
band going with you?

279
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,679
Speaker 6: Yes, a variation of the band. My buddy Bernie, who

280
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:27,919
plays bass for us, is going to stay home, but Lee,

281
00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:31,720
who plays guitar. It's funny Lee plays drums on a

282
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,720
lot of this, a lot of the studio stuff. He's

283
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,960
like my right hand man almost when it comes to

284
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:39,519
this stuff. He doesn't play every show. Sometimes we play

285
00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:42,960
a three piece, but he always helps out in the studio,

286
00:16:43,039 --> 00:16:45,799
especially on this new album. He's gonna play bass in

287
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:49,919
Germany and my drummer Jared is gonna is gonna come

288
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,919
and play drums, so we'll do a three piece. Yea,

289
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,440
have a full band in Germany.

290
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:53,919
Speaker 3: Okay.

291
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:54,159
Speaker 6: Yeah.

292
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: It's nice that you have that kind of flexibility where

293
00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:57,879
you can, you know, you can kind of just make

294
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:01,399
it work, you know, and change the configuration as you

295
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,120
go if you need to. So that's pretty cool.

296
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 6: Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's stressful as well.

297
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 9: Yeah.

298
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 5: How many?

299
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,279
Speaker 3: How many dates are you doing there?

300
00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 6: We're gonna be there for six days and I think

301
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:15,759
we're gonna play four of them.

302
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,519
Speaker 3: Okay. Have you been to Europe before?

303
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 6: I have been. I've played with my friend Jeff before

304
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:23,440
over there.

305
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:23,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

306
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:29,079
Speaker 6: We flew in to Spain, played two or three shows

307
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:33,519
in like Madrid, leone wow, and then we flew to

308
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,359
Amsterdam and played Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Yeah so, and I

309
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,640
think that was like in eight days. We probably played

310
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,880
four or five shows and eight.

311
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 3: Days wow, no kidding.

312
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 6: That was about five years ago. That was really fun.

313
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:49,839
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, very cool, very cool. Oh right before the

314
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,960
pandemic right before yeah yeah, yeah, good thing. It wasn't

315
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,640
four years ago you would have would have been able

316
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:54,799
to go.

317
00:17:55,039 --> 00:17:55,799
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.

318
00:17:57,599 --> 00:17:59,799
Speaker 3: Now So okay, so I have to ask you this.

319
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:03,640
So you've got I've been dying to ask you this question.

320
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,039
You've got a brand new single that just came out,

321
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:10,519
which we're not going to play today. Now. We love

322
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:12,559
to play new stuff on the show. The only reason

323
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:15,200
we're not playing this is called I Hate Joe King's Roommate.

324
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,960
And the only reason we're not playing it. See, usually

325
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:21,039
I make a radio edit if a guest has something

326
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:22,640
and I want to play it, you know, And if

327
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,720
they don't have a radio edit, I'll make a radio edit.

328
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:27,079
I just go in, I reverse where all the swears are.

329
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,400
And I don't mind doing that. You know, it takes

330
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,200
me five minutes. I'm prety efficient at it. But I

331
00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:32,759
was listening to this track, and by the way, I

332
00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:35,480
love the song. It's a great song, but I thought

333
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,119
there's so much here there would have to be reversed

334
00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:42,519
and it would kind of wreck the song. So I

335
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,519
was like, I don't just artistically, I don't think I

336
00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:48,400
should mess with this one. But here's what I'm dying

337
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,640
to know. I want to know there has to be

338
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,039
a story behind this, right sure is? And who is

339
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:58,559
Joe King? And why is his roommate upset you? So

340
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:03,519
because I can't tell, Like, we learn a little bit

341
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:07,480
about Joe King's roommate from the song. We learned that

342
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,880
he's apparently a very upsetting person. But I don't know,

343
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:16,119
you will think, but I don't know exactly and I

344
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,720
don't know how about you can divulge, but I mean

345
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:20,599
I have to ask. I'm very curious. The song made

346
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,440
me very curious.

347
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 6: All right, I'll be as forthcoming as I n be. Okay,

348
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,160
So I wrote that song with my friend Pete Curtis,

349
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:34,920
probably in like nineteen ninety seven. Oh, okay, nineteen ninety eight.

350
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 3: Okay.

351
00:19:35,599 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 6: I was in high school and he we were in

352
00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:43,480
a band called the Illegitimates. The Portsmouth punk scene was

353
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:45,160
kind of cool and going on. There was a place

354
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,319
called the Elvis Room. Oh yeah, that was one in

355
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,599
Portland too, honestly, but yep, it was. It was thriving.

356
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,400
There was great bands coming in and out of it.

357
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:56,039
And you know, he was in a band, I was

358
00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:57,759
in a band, and we just ended up playing in

359
00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:00,559
a band, yeah for a bit, and we with that song.

360
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,920
I hate Joking's roommate. So Joe King is the singer

361
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,599
of this band, the Queers. They're like a popular punk

362
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,480
band from New Hampshire. Yep, they tore everywhere. They're pretty

363
00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:15,279
famous now. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean he's written songs

364
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:18,440
with like Joey Ramone, and you know he's played a lot.

365
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:20,799
He plays a lot. He makes money off of music

366
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,240
and he you know, I love the Queers. I was

367
00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:25,720
listening to him on the way home last night. You know.

368
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:27,400
They were like one of the first punk bands I

369
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,359
ever listened to. In my eyes, they're like the Ramones

370
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,319
for me. Yeah. So I always looked up to Joe.

371
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,200
A couple of my friends played in his bands and stuff.

372
00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:41,960
And Mitch, who is Joe King's roommate at the time,

373
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,039
he was like this. I don't know if he was

374
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:50,160
an army vet or if he was just like a

375
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,480
hippie type dude, but he had he always had like

376
00:20:53,559 --> 00:21:00,240
a green long army coat and long orange chair. Scruffy dude.

377
00:21:01,279 --> 00:21:04,920
To be honest, really nice, Like usually he was very polite.

378
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,400
He was like, hey man, how are you. That's all

379
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,519
you would say, or like hey man, you know right,

380
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,839
that's it. He wouldn't he wouldn't like try to get

381
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,920
in conversations. He wasn't mean or anything. And we were

382
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:20,119
just like always trying to hang out with Joe or

383
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,119
try to talk to Joe and this guy was here

384
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,279
and he'd be like, hey man, like we hate Joking's roommate. Yeah,

385
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,880
you know, he lived above Series Street in Portsmouth, Like

386
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:33,640
we thought we were the coolest people hanging out with

387
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,000
these guys. Yea, but that's pretty much the story. Man

388
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:38,720
in a nutshell?

389
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:43,839
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So did he hear the song?

390
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,079
Speaker 6: Or Joe has? Joe has heard the song? I sent

391
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,519
him copy of it and we actually did a music

392
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,079
video and everything. He's not in it, but I mean,

393
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,880
he says he likes it. I don't know, he hasn't

394
00:21:56,079 --> 00:22:00,240
reposted it or anything, but yeah, he knows about it.

395
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,200
And I don't know how to how would even get

396
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,480
a hold of Mitch or anything, right, but a couple

397
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:09,799
of people have asked me about it. Because Joe has

398
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,279
had tons of roommates.

399
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,279
Speaker 3: That's that gives you plausible deniability. Because if Mitch ever

400
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,880
turns up and he's like hey man, which which I

401
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:23,680
assume is how he would open the conversation, right, hey man,

402
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,519
kind of hurt my feelings. You can just say, Joe

403
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,400
King's had tons of roommates, why do you think it's

404
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:29,720
about you?

405
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 6: As you talked about it on the air.

406
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 3: But then you can say, well, yeah, but he's you know,

407
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,200
Mitch is a common name. He probably had. It was

408
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,880
probably somebody else named Mitch who was Joe King's roommate.

409
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:46,960
Why do you think it's about you? Don't be a narcissist, Mitch.

410
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,759
Speaker 6: Why is everything about you? Mitch?

411
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: I hate you that ye see, so it all comes

412
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:59,160
full circle. Oh that's that's great. Okay, okay, yeah, I

413
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:00,759
was hoping there was a story. I was I was

414
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:02,839
actually afraid of asking you that it was going to

415
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,359
turn out to be some you know, the fictional thing

416
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,880
that you just made up to be funny. So I'm

417
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,000
glad there's an actual story.

418
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 6: Oh, it's real, real life. It happened a long time ago.

419
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,759
But yeah, yeah, you know resentments.

420
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 3: Oh that's great.

421
00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:17,799
Speaker 6: Yeah.

422
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: So here's what I think we should do. I'll play

423
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,200
another studio track, and then while that's playing, if you

424
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,119
want to grab your guitar, and then when we come

425
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,720
back from that, I'm dying here, you play live? Okay,

426
00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:31,599
what should I? Uh, let's see, because you sent me

427
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,039
a few things. We played being Around, which again, I

428
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,400
just I love that song so much. That is so fun.

429
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,799
Speaker 6: One good reason sort of like that one. It's a

430
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:43,359
little kind of Kyle punky or h like I don't know,

431
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,640
I didn't want to say hicck punk, but like a

432
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,319
little more on the country punk side.

433
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, yeah, we'll play that one.

434
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, the twangy guitars. It's sort of like sort of

435
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,319
like being around the closest one to it at least.

436
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, cool, So we'll give this a spin.

437
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,480

So I'm gonna. I'm gonna this is a new one

472
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,319
that you're gonna do.

473
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 6: Yep. This is my newest release. It's going to be

474
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,880
on in a seven inch EP that should be out

475
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,759
next month. Oh okay, there are three orders up for it,

476
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,440
but like you know, they should be in hand by

477
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,480
the beginning of October at the latest. Okay, it's called

478
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:47,319
I Hate Joking's Roommate. The the EP is called I

479
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,319
Hate Joking's Roommate. It will it'll have that song. It's funny.

480
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,200
I'll tell you a story about that after because it

481
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,599
was supposed to be a children's EP. Oh really yeah,

482
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,880
because the third song is called puddle Hop, which isn't

483
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,880
released yet and I wrote it for my kids. Oh

484
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,000
but the guy that put it out really like joking's

485
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:07,200
roommate and that's I mean, we're just talking about how

486
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,680
many swears were in that. So yeah, yeah, that through

487
00:27:09,759 --> 00:27:12,400
the children's story right out of the window.

488
00:27:12,599 --> 00:27:15,319
Speaker 3: Oh I can see where that would be a problem.

489
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's kind of a good I mean, it'll

490
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,519
be three really awesome songs. This is probably one of

491
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:25,160
my favorite ones I've ever written. And you know, all right,

492
00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:26,759
what a song about it? I want to hear it.

493
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,319
Speaker 3: Yes, here it goes.

494
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 6: The song is called I want to know.

Matt connorton Unleashed, and we're having a great time. Really,

530
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:52,160
really we should talk about, uh that track. One good

531
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,319
reason because you were telling us a little bit about

532
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:57,599
it off air, and those pretty interesting.

533
00:29:58,799 --> 00:29:59,039
Speaker 6: You were.

534
00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: You were talking about how quickly it came together and.

535
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, So most of the songs on that record

536
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:14,359
right there are done by myself, my friend Uri, and

537
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:22,880
my friend Terry who plays upright bass and for this one,

538
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,480
it's gonna either be the first or second number on

539
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,599
the new record. And it was a whole It was

540
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,599
almost a full different band. I had my buddy Luke

541
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:40,240
was playing drums on it and Lenny Lashley was playing guitar.

542
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,400
And Lenny Lashley is like a famous Boston musician. I mean, yeah,

543
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,559
he's super cool. He plays in bands called Darkbuster and

544
00:30:49,839 --> 00:30:53,640
the Street Dogs, And you know, it was it was cool.

545
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,119
I just recorded it up in New Hampshire and I

546
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,759
sent him the track and by the next day he

547
00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:03,920
had all those awesome guitar riffs in there and stuff,

548
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,960
and you know, I I thought it was really cool

549
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,160
of him to do, you know, because yeah, he's a

550
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,759
really cool, established musician, a really human being, and you know,

551
00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:15,960
he didn't have to play on my stuff, and it

552
00:31:16,079 --> 00:31:17,799
was really awesome for him to do it.

553
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: Were you surprised at the turnaround time on that, like

554
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:23,160
how quickly he got those back to here?

555
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:26,559
Speaker 6: That was pretty amazing. Yeah, I mean he's a true

556
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:27,559
professional for sure.

557
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:32,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, that's fantastic. Are there other people you've

558
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,680
worked with that you'd kind of put in that category

559
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:36,880
where you're like Wow, this is this is amazing. This

560
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,039
is one of my heroes.

561
00:31:39,319 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 6: So far, I've I've worked with a couple of people.

562
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:48,359
Kurt Baker out of Spain. I mean he's actually from Portland, Maine.

563
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:53,079
He lives in Spain. Now he's on Wicked Cool Records,

564
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:58,160
which is like Little Steven Okay, yep, from Bruce Springsteen's

565
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:58,920
bands label.

566
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in Spain now, that's a big move.

567
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's doing really well. You know, he's put out

568
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,480
a bunch of records and you know he kills it

569
00:32:09,559 --> 00:32:11,599
every time. But when he was in a band called

570
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,640
the Leftovers out of Portland, Maine, and then he got

571
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:20,559
signed to that guy from Bowling for Soup Jarrett Reddity

572
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,160
name the lead singer of Bowling for Soup and guitarists.

573
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,200
You know, Kurt Baker I kind of look up to

574
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:30,759
because he's from Maine. He's a local dude, down to earth.

575
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:33,440
He's a friend of mine now and he's just kind

576
00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:36,440
of like done it. You know, he keeps doing it

577
00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:40,039
and doing it good. He writes awesome songs and he

578
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:41,799
gets recognized for the awesome songs.

579
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:42,119
Speaker 2: Yea.

580
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,079
Speaker 6: Even though he's a friend, I still really look up

581
00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:47,680
to him. You know, it's like a oh oh shoot

582
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,519
moment every time.

583
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: No doubt, no doubt. Where do you record?

584
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 6: It?

585
00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 3: Sounds like you've recorded in a lot of different places.

586
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't. I haven't found a place where, like

587
00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:05,519
I can say, is gonna be my new spot? You know?

588
00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:06,039
Speaker 3: Yeah?

589
00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 6: But I I recorded that whole album that I gave

590
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:11,920
to you, the Dave Strong LP or whatever, the self

591
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,920
titled one. I recorded all ten of those songs at

592
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,240
the wood Shop in I don't even know. I don't

593
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:25,759
even know, like Kensington, New Hampshire is somewhere around there. Okay,

594
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,279
it's called the wood Shop Studio up there.

595
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: I feel like I've heard of Kensington. Yeah, is it north.

596
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:36,599
Speaker 6: So it's sort of near like Haveril.

597
00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 3: Oh okay, you know it's like on that It's like,

598
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,319
oh it's on the border.

599
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 6: Get on four for a second. Yeah, Atkinson's exactly studios

600
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:46,720
in Atkinson.

601
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,759
Speaker 3: I know exactly where that is. Okay, Okay.

602
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,079
Speaker 6: So I've recorded those ten songs from that one, and

603
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,319
then I recorded two more like the one that we

604
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,759
just listened to, and I'm all these lips which is

605
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:03,599
are like Asoleine's cover. But Nirvana pretty much made it popular.

606
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

607
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, those those two songs will probably be on my

608
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:12,360
next record. And I and I thought I had a

609
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,480
groove going there, but it seems like now that I

610
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:18,880
think about it, it was more like perfect for that

611
00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:21,199
time and the band that I was playing with.

612
00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like.

613
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:26,039
Speaker 6: So I just thought, maybe you know I'm doing a

614
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:27,920
new record, I'll move to a different place and check

615
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:33,559
it out like that. So we did four songs in Salem,

616
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:39,920
mass which we recorded with Tom Hamilton, who recorded Hate

617
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,239
Your Friends the Lemonheads first album. Yeah, and that's kind

618
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,360
of why we listened to being around. We were like,

619
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,280
we gotta do something with Tom, like even though he

620
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,079
didn't wasn't a part of engineering that song. Yeah, he

621
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,239
was a part of engineering one of my favorite records ever. Oh,

622
00:34:55,559 --> 00:34:57,480
just Hate Your Friends by the Lemonheads. I love that.

623
00:34:57,679 --> 00:35:00,280
I love Evan Dando and I love the Lemonheads. Yeah,

624
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,840
so I was like, I gotta I gotta somehow tie

625
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,440
this Lemonhead's connection in right right, And I recorded I'm

626
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:12,400
Late where I should go? That Lemonhead's being around the song.

627
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,280
I think that's it. Oh, and I Hate Mondays. I

628
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,360
did a song called I Hate Mondays okay, you know,

629
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,719
which is kind of like I Hate Joking's Roommate, every.

630
00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 3: Other words that Ford, gotcha, gotcha.

631
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 6: I'm not that angry really, yeah, yeah, I just get

632
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,280
it out artistically, right.

633
00:35:28,599 --> 00:35:30,519
Speaker 3: Well, that's I mean, that's the best way to do it. Yeah,

634
00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:32,639
that's the best way to do it. Create something absolutely.

635
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,840
Do you have a favorite place that you've recorded.

636
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 6: So far? They just keep getting better. I mean, so

637
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,119
the last three songs I Hate Joking's Roommate, puddle Hop

638
00:35:43,199 --> 00:35:46,119
which isn't out yet, which I wrote, you know, it's

639
00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:49,119
like a kids type song, and then I want to

640
00:35:49,199 --> 00:35:52,159
know the one I just sang. I recorded up in

641
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:57,159
North Conway at my friend Ryan's house. It's like a

642
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:03,239
makeshift studio. They call it platypus. Okay, but yeah, it's

643
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,559
just like it's it's on his land. It's a garage,

644
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:09,199
you know that they've turned into a studio. It's like

645
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:15,960
the size of this room really cool, you know, just

646
00:36:16,039 --> 00:36:18,639
a really chill type vibe, you know, and like, yeah,

647
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,559
so far that's been my favorite place. Okay, going back

648
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:25,119
with another band next weekend to record up there again.

649
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,920
Oh okay, So the plan is eventually I'll find my

650
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:33,519
home base right, you know, but until I'll keep trying

651
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:36,320
these awesome places and they keep getting better and better.

652
00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:39,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's so

653
00:36:39,199 --> 00:36:42,480
many options to record now and so many places. You know,

654
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,599
it's interesting too there it seems like there was a

655
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:50,239
point where people, you know, as technology evolves and becomes

656
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,400
more accessible to everybody, you know, people make all kinds

657
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,639
of predictions about what technology is going to start to

658
00:36:55,679 --> 00:36:57,880
go away, or how things are going to change, or

659
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,400
and what technology is going to stick around. And like,

660
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:04,000
for example, vinyl records. You know, decades ago people said,

661
00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:06,440
you know, CDs would be the end of vinyl, and

662
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:11,039
vinyl you know, still thrives. But with recording studios. You know,

663
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:16,000
I remember years ago people saying, now with all these

664
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,559
capabilities to just record on your own, recorded at home

665
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:22,000
and whatnot, you know, recording studios are going to go away.

666
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,360
But it didn't happen, and if anything, there's probably more

667
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,840
of them than there were ten years ago, because you know,

668
00:37:29,079 --> 00:37:31,960
people like having all kinds of different options in terms

669
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,719
of how they create their music. You know, some some

670
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,960
people only want to be able to just do it

671
00:37:37,039 --> 00:37:40,440
at home, plug everything in, use pro tools, use ant

672
00:37:40,559 --> 00:37:42,760
modelers and all that, and you know, not have to

673
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,960
go to a studio. Some people thrive on being in

674
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,360
a studio and love and I find too, And I'm

675
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,800
curious if you're like this. A lot of the people

676
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,079
who seem to really thrive on being in a studio

677
00:37:52,119 --> 00:37:56,199
as you appear to really like having that, you know,

678
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,920
like having an engineer, a recording engineer there who all

679
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:04,400
also very often, you know, it happens organically, becomes sort

680
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,320
of a de facto producer, you know, and they even

681
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,199
even though maybe that's not why you're there necessarily, but

682
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,719
they have input, they have ideas, and of course they

683
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,400
know how to get the best sound with their equipment.

684
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,599
Like do you find that and does that factor into

685
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,440
because you've recorded a lot of different places, does that

686
00:38:20,519 --> 00:38:22,400
factor into your decisions on where to go?

687
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 6: I you're exactly right with that. I mean, I've recorded

688
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,480
at this place in Waltham, mass called Willie Mammoth Studios.

689
00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:34,800
I've heard of that a few times with my buddy Jeff,

690
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,199
who I went overseas with and played the Spain shows

691
00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:39,599
and stuff.

692
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.

693
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,559
Speaker 6: The main producer in that, I mean, the one we

694
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:47,239
worked with, I don't know there's probably a couple of

695
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,320
people that run the board there. But I've worked with

696
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,280
them a couple of times now, Actually I think I did.

697
00:38:53,159 --> 00:38:55,639
I did this documentary called Stick It to the Man

698
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,280
there where we did a live session. Yeah, I've worked

699
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:03,119
with a couple of times. It's Dave Minihan. Is his name.

700
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:06,119
He He's from that band the Neighborhoods.

701
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,599
Speaker 3: That name has come up on the show a bunch

702
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:09,239
of times.

703
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 6: It's a rock star. Yeah, he's in the replacements now

704
00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:13,400
and isn't Isn't he?

705
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 3: Is he Kirk Minihan's brother.

706
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,199
Speaker 6: I don't know Kirk Minihan.

707
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 3: The Kirk Minhan's a sports broadcaster from Boston. I think

708
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:21,480
they're related.

709
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 6: You know, you could be right. I never even put

710
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,119
the connection together.

711
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,519
Speaker 3: But and even even if they're not brothers, they have

712
00:39:26,559 --> 00:39:28,639
to be related something. Minihan's not a naming here all

713
00:39:28,639 --> 00:39:30,920
the time. But I think I think that they're actually brothers.

714
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:33,320
But but but yeah, Dave Minahan, that name's come up

715
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,079
heavy America. I think mention them. I don't know if

716
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:39,039
you know them, Boston band. They've been on the show.

717
00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:41,800
I think they I think that's the first interview where

718
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,360
I heard that name was from those guys I think

719
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:45,119
they recorded there.

720
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a it's a heck of a place, man,

721
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:54,000
It's he's so I think. So Rhino Records does this

722
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,199
like best of the New York Scene, best of like

723
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,440
you know Boston a compilation has the cars on it,

724
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:04,280
the real kids on it, and the neighborhoods is like

725
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,760
the first song on it, you know, yeah Mission Burma

726
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,599
like all those classic punk songs.

727
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: You know.

728
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 6: So just that alone was like whoa. But but he

729
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:21,199
also adds a really cool like vibe to the room,

730
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,000
like he knows what what to what to look for.

731
00:40:25,159 --> 00:40:28,039
You know. At first, I was kind of nervous meeting

732
00:40:28,119 --> 00:40:30,320
him to tell you the truth, the human like us

733
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,039
and yeah, of course and they he does a lot

734
00:40:33,079 --> 00:40:38,599
of real to reel you know, really like there's another guy.

735
00:40:39,159 --> 00:40:43,760
There's Mike, Mike Mike Kennedy from the All American Rejects.

736
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,239
That's a huge band, huge famous band, and my buddy

737
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,280
just went and recorded with him speak you know you

738
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,880
you kind of I think a lot of people are

739
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,440
doing that now, you know on their part time, like

740
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,559
you get you go there for the talent and the

741
00:40:59,679 --> 00:41:03,639
vibe been like you know, it's cool. It's a cool feel.

742
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,679
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, it also makes sense too, I think if

743
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,880
you're you know, if you're in a big band like

744
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,039
all American rejects for example, you know a lot of

745
00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:14,559
bands aren't. They're not touring as much now because it's

746
00:41:14,559 --> 00:41:17,440
gotten so expensive to travel. So you know, to be

747
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,159
able to do something like that, you know, work with

748
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,159
other bands, whether it's whether it's at a recording studio,

749
00:41:23,119 --> 00:41:27,000
building that or or or getting into some other aspect

750
00:41:27,079 --> 00:41:30,360
of the music business that helps you know, younger up

751
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,559
and coming talent, you know it only which probably also

752
00:41:33,679 --> 00:41:36,360
is very fulfilling for for a lot of these folks too,

753
00:41:36,519 --> 00:41:39,119
to be able to do that, you know, to help

754
00:41:39,159 --> 00:41:42,000
the next generations that are coming up, and you know,

755
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:44,360
once you know, once they've already got their fame, you know,

756
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,800
why not pass on that knowledge and experience and those resources.

757
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,880
But also too, it gives them something to do because

758
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,480
you know, like I said, I mean, who was it

759
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:55,159
that there was a band, a pretty big band recently

760
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,880
that actually canceled their tour because of low ticket sales

761
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,400
and they just said it's not what was it then?

762
00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:02,920
They just said it's not it's not worth it. Whereas

763
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,800
it's not gonna we're not even gonna bother, you know. So,

764
00:42:07,159 --> 00:42:08,519
I mean, I don't know if those guys are doing

765
00:42:08,559 --> 00:42:11,239
anything to help help other bands, but but maybe they are.

766
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:14,599
But but it's great to make those connections.

767
00:42:14,679 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 6: And it goes both ways too sometimes. I mean, like

768
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,760
as far as Dave Minihan was everything I expected and more.

769
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,760
That guy's like a top top shelf. Yeah, you know,

770
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,719
he knows his stuff and he's been in some of

771
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,599
the coolest bands. You know, like Billy Joe Armstrong from

772
00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:34,199
Green Day did Coachella with the Replacements. He like hopped

773
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,639
on their tour. They didn't like ask him to do it.

774
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:39,840
He came up to them and was like can I play?

775
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, like.

776
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,679
Speaker 6: Imagine that. Yeah, you know, like, holy crap, the stories,

777
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,519
you know. But then I was like so stoked to

778
00:42:50,599 --> 00:42:54,599
go work with Tom Hamilton because the Lemonheads connection and

779
00:42:55,199 --> 00:42:57,159
the guy was sort of a mess, you know, like

780
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,920
really the songs came out great, Yeah, they took like

781
00:43:01,079 --> 00:43:04,039
four or five months to finish. Yeah, you know, and

782
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,280
I'm not going to talk to or anything. I'm not

783
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,480
going to talk trash or anything.

784
00:43:08,559 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 3: Sorry, We're we're on a delay. I caught it. I'm

785
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,719
not going to talk that but yeah.

786
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 6: Sorry, but he he wasn't what I expected really, you know,

787
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,719
So that's what I meant. It goes both ways.

788
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

789
00:43:21,079 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 6: Sometimes you work with your idols and you love it.

790
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,639
Sometimes you work with your idols and you learn a

791
00:43:25,679 --> 00:43:28,239
little bit, you know, of humility and like you're not

792
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,880
exactly what you think they are. Yeah, and sometimes you

793
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,400
just you work with your friends. Yeah, and for you know,

794
00:43:34,519 --> 00:43:36,119
you pay a lot of money to work with someone

795
00:43:36,159 --> 00:43:38,280
that you don't know and you don't get what you want.

796
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,719
Or you pay almost nothing to work with one of

797
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,000
your best friends and you make something together.

798
00:43:44,199 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

799
00:43:44,599 --> 00:43:47,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then someone else here is then like where

800
00:43:47,199 --> 00:43:49,199
did you go? Oh you didn't go to a five

801
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,039
hundred dollars hour studio. You went to a twenty buck

802
00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:52,840
an hour studio?

803
00:43:53,159 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 5: Right?

804
00:43:54,119 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 6: Can I go there? Sure? I'll call Ryan and see

805
00:43:56,519 --> 00:43:58,559
if he can do it, you know. Yeah, that's what

806
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:00,760
it's about nowadays. For me, at least, I'm trying to

807
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,039
get the next I'm trying to make memories and make

808
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,639
music with like up and coming people, new people.

809
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that makes sense, that makes sense. We should

810
00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:11,920
clarify too, for anyone who's listening, who's confused? Obviously not

811
00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:15,519
the same Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith. No, in case anyone thinks,

812
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,199
you know, there's probably a million.

813
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 6: I thought it was him for the longest time. I

814
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,239
thought maybe when I walked into his house it would

815
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,719
be the bass player of Varus Smith.

816
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:25,119
Speaker 5: Yeah.

817
00:44:26,039 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how much I know you're You're probably going

818
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,559
there thinking I wonder if I ask him, will he

819
00:44:30,599 --> 00:44:35,119
play the bass line of Sweet Emotion? Yeah, Tom Hamilton's

820
00:44:35,119 --> 00:44:37,760
probably there's probably a million Tom Hamilton's out there. Those

821
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,400
are both such common names, Tom and Hamilton. But yeah,

822
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,280
well that's too bad that that he wasn't that great.

823
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,719
But you know, yeah, they say don't meet your heroes,

824
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,840
but then again, you know, some of your heroes turn

825
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,360
out to be pretty awesome, so you know, that's that's

826
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,760
the risk that you take. But but it sounds like

827
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,719
you've had a lot of positive experiences and got to

828
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,480
work with some great people. So that's awesome.

829
00:44:57,599 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 6: Absolutely, that's awesome.

830
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,679
Speaker 3: I mean, have you have you I had moments along

831
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,320
the way where you just kind of go, I can't believe.

832
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,039
I can't believe I'm getting to do this and work

833
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:07,559
with this person and have this opportunity you ever kind

834
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:08,760
of just pinch yourself.

835
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:13,039
Speaker 6: And go, wow, absolutely. I mean there was a long

836
00:45:13,199 --> 00:45:17,039
time that I thought I deserved it more than I did.

837
00:45:18,679 --> 00:45:21,880
It's been very humbling lately. You know, I made a

838
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,719
lot of changes, and I think I'm on the right

839
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,440
path where I can acknowledge everything that's happening in a

840
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:32,719
good way. Good I've learned. Yeah, which is you know,

841
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:33,599
it's the light?

842
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. Was there was there anything specific that that kind

843
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,440
of caused that? Or is that more just a gradual

844
00:45:42,519 --> 00:45:45,239
thing over time where you just kind of grow and evolve.

845
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:50,039
Speaker 6: And I mean I I guess I drank a little

846
00:45:50,079 --> 00:45:52,280
too much when I was younger, and like, you know

847
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,840
that that might have put a stint on it. You

848
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,239
know I would, I'll put it like this, you know,

849
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,159
I thought, but I was entitled, you know, like, oh,

850
00:46:03,199 --> 00:46:04,760
I know how to play the song you have? You

851
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,519
should really bring me. I'm on the record. You know

852
00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:11,039
I deserve this, No like blah blah blah, instead of

853
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,519
you know, a hundred other people could be coming on

854
00:46:13,639 --> 00:46:16,800
this right, you know, you brought me instead of one

855
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,119
hundred different people. I'm grateful, Like getting off the bus

856
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,000
and being like where's the bar? Instead of like how

857
00:46:24,039 --> 00:46:27,639
can I help you carry something? Ye, just little things

858
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,639
like that that you know, thinking back at it now,

859
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,480
it's like, oh, just just do the next right thing

860
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:37,840
now and you'll be good. There you go, There you go,

861
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,159
last of the past, and the future is unknown.

862
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, exactly, exactly, No, I like that. Let's play

863
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,360
another track. Let's see we should play because we played,

864
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:56,760

00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:57,199

And Dave, so you were saying off air something really

897
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,079
special about that track.

898
00:50:14,119 --> 00:50:17,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was one of the first songs I ever

899
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:21,800
recorded solo. I recorded all the parts myself on it,

900
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,280
of the drums, the bass, the guitar. I went to

901
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,440
the Atkinson studio well with my not myself. My daughter

902
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:34,320
came with me and she sang all the harmonies and

903
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,360
sang all the backups. So that's a real special one.

904
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:41,280
Little girl and I would are pretty much just me

905
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:41,960
and my daughter.

906
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 3: Oh, that's really cool. That's really cool.

907
00:50:44,599 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 6: Karra Strong shout out.

908
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,639
Speaker 3: Does she does she have music of her own too

909
00:50:48,679 --> 00:50:52,159
that she's doing or what's her her kind of musical trajectory? Yeah?

910
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 6: She She hasn't released anything yet. I know she will.

911
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,360
She's got a beautiful voice and she plays guitar really

912
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:00,800
well too.

913
00:51:01,039 --> 00:51:05,519
Speaker 3: Oh okay, very good, Yeah, very good. We are the

914
00:51:05,599 --> 00:51:08,360
time goes so quick. We are we're running out of time, Dave.

915
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,039
But before we run out of time and we I

916
00:51:10,079 --> 00:51:11,599
do want to get this one last track and two

917
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,199
nights in jail to end the show today. But by

918
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:16,639
the way, is that based on any kind of a

919
00:51:17,079 --> 00:51:17,639
true story?

920
00:51:20,199 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 6: Not particularly, I plead the fifth.

921
00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 3: Okay, that's well. I didn't know if maybe Joe King's

922
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,920
roommate had done something to get you in trouble and

923
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,440
then you want because that would be a reason to

924
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:29,840
hate him.

925
00:51:30,519 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 6: It's got it's got a teeny back story about a

926
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:38,159
scorn lover type deal. But next time we'll talk about it.

927
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,519
Speaker 3: Understood, understood. Do you have any shows? Are you playing

928
00:51:42,519 --> 00:51:43,280
it all? This weekend?

929
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:50,360
