Speaker 9: That's me singing, and I'm the songwriter as well. Okay,

57
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,120
I didn't write that song. Oh that's the only song

58
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:24,040
on the album. I did not write. That was by

59
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,639

00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:58,040
and sings background vocals with us to kind of fill

72
00:05:58,079 --> 00:05:58,720

00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,240

77
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,040
as well?

78
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,519
Speaker 9: Portland?

79
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, great scene there. There's always a

80
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:16,040
lot going on there. It's been that way forever too.

81
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 7: Yeah.

82
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,879
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, it's a great music scene and there's a

83
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:23,279
lot of rock and roll and punk and just music

84
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:25,680
people aren't really tapped into in other parts of me

85
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:28,439
and that you wouldn't really know about unless you're in Portland,

86
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,360
and it's really special.

87
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 8: It's true. Yeah, yeah, very true. So where's the name

88
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:33,920
come from? Euphemia?

89
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,199
Speaker 9: Euphemia is the name of my great grandmother on my

90
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:40,040
dad's side. Yeah, okay, I never met her, but I

91
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920
always thought it was such a cool name. And yeah,

92
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,040
I know it's kind of like ambiguous and people are like,

93
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:46,920
what does that mean?

94
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 10: Is it?

95
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 9: Is it like euphemia like feminism? And I'm like, no,

96
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:52,120
it's just just a woman's name.

97
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I was, and I wasn't sure. You know,

98
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,279
we'll pull back the curtain and tell the listeners. I

99
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:58,120
had to ask you before because I was sure, you know,

100
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,839
because I've been talking about it, you know, leading up

101
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,279
to today. But I wasn't sure if I was saying

102
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,560
it right or yeah, and I was not saying it right.

103
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,680
I assumed it was, so I was saying it wrong totally.

104
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,399
Does it ever get misspelled like on posters or anything

105
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:11,959
like that, for.

106
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 9: We usually have to make the posters.

107
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, just as well. Right, Yeah, I can see.

108
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,240
So how long has the band been around? Has a

109
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,759
band been around a while? Because you've got a lot

110
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,160
of music.

111
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:26,399
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean we've been a band since twenty thirteen.

112
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,519
Oh okay, we just joined Instagram in twenty twenty four,

113
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,519
so a lot of Okay, we've only been around for

114
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:35,199
like a year. But no, we've been around since twenty thirteen.

115
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:38,519
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, probably not the same line up all the time.

116
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:39,279
I wouldn't think.

117
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 9: Myself, Brian and my husband Josh, who's our drummer, we've

118
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,439
all been in the band since twenty thirteen, but we've

119
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,160
a little bit of change up with our bass player

120
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:49,920
and other guitar player.

121
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:52,519
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, But but so the three of you have

122
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,360
been the core, like the kind of the nucleus of it. Yeah.

123
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,879
How do you describe your sound because you're not you know,

124
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,439
it's not conventional, you know, it's not. It's not metal,

125
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,279
it's not punk.

126
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:06,759
Speaker 10: It's not I mean what I mean you describe us?

127
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,839
Speaker 9: I think about the song and.

128
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 8: Everyone always says it's this question. But yeah, but yeah

129
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:11,360
for someone who's never heard you.

130
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:14,079
Speaker 9: For me, I just describe it as rock and roll.

131
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 8: Yeah.

132
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:18,399
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like I'm a big fan of all different sorts

133
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:20,399
of music. But for me, it just sounds like pure

134
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,160
rock and roll, yeah, with the punk undertones to it.

135
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,120
But yeah, for me, it's just rock and roll.

136
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:25,399
Speaker 8: Yeah.

137
00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:25,639
Speaker 9: Yeah.

138
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,519
Speaker 8: And the songs are the length of punk songs. Yeah,

139
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:30,720
they are a lot of them have short that's the

140
00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:33,320
longest one. So A Order Baby is three point fifty nine.

141
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,639
But I think of everything you said, that's the uh?

142
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: Is that?

143
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,399
Speaker 8: Is that a full album?

144
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 5: Is that?

145
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 8: Yep? These are all part of okay.

146
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,399
Speaker 9: Ye it's the Yeah. We put our our self titled

147
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,720
album in April of twenty twenty four and ten songs

148
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,320
on it. It's twenty five minutes long. Yeah, yeah, all killer,

149
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:52,840
no filler.

150
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 8: Oh that's funny. Yeah, it's only twenty five minutes. But yeah,

151
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,200
that makes sense giving the uh yeah, yeah, Now what

152
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,639
is so is that? By the I mean, do you

153
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,639
just prefer short songs, or there was somebody who was it.

154
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,919
There was somebody who said, uh, they just it's like

155
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,279
that expression, Well, there's that expression, don't BORI us get

156
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:15,679
to the chorus. But there's there was somebody else I

157
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,799
can't remember who it was, what band, I'm drawing a

158
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,440
blank now, who said it's really important to you know,

159
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,360
if you want to hook somebody into the song you've got,

160
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,279
you've at least got to get to that first chorus

161
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:28,159
fairly quickly, and so that ends up making for a

162
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,600
short song. But I mean, is that something you set

163
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:33,200
out to do or does that just happen organically when

164
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:33,879
you're writing these?

165
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 9: It kind of just happens organically. I'm just, you know,

166
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,519
usually alone in my room writing these, and I say

167
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,639
what I need to say. Yeah, try to at least

168
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,759
get through a couple verses and choruses and then a

169
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,039
turn around usually, but it's usually just like does it

170
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:52,679
need it or not?

171
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

172
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, If I've said what I needed to say and

173
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:58,159
it's sounding good, I kind of just leave it there

174
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,200
and yeah, I'll take it to practice and show the guys.

175
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,120
And they're really good at arranging them with me and

176
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,559
kind of like editing with me saying we need a

177
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,600
little bit more or less or this part isn't working,

178
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,600
so we kind of like all work it out together.

179
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:15,399
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, is a orda baby? Is that the longest

180
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,960
song you've ever recorded as a band?

181
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 9: I think so today?

182
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 11: Yeah?

183
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I think so.

184
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:22,799
Speaker 4: Yeah.

185
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 8: Yeah. Now no, so this is so this is from

186
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,840
a full length album. Do you have other like what

187
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,159
else have you recorded? Because obviously you know you've been

188
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,200
around for so I'm not going to math that's twelve years, right, yeah,

189
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,879
twenty thirteen. Yeah, so I assume you've probably recorded quite

190
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:37,799
a bit over the year as well.

191
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 9: We haven't. We recorded this album in twenty nineteen, Yeah,

192
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:45,720
and it took me almost five years to get it

193
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:49,600
out because it was like a lot of things happened

194
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,840
when we recorded it. I was pregnant with my daughter

195
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:56,720
when I recorded it, and then COVID happened in twenty twenty,

196
00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:58,600
so we weren't able to go into the studio and

197
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,000
mix it. Yeah, and then my dad passed away in

198
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:03,200
twenty twenty one, So it was like this series of

199
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:07,840
circumstances where I couldn't think about touching it, you know

200
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:10,720
what I mean, Like mixing it and we weren't quite

201
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,759
happy with the mix right away, so it was we

202
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:14,519
just kind of put it on the backshelf for a while,

203
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,720
and then we finally put it in Gears in October

204
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:20,240
of twenty twenty three, got it out by April of

205
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,120
twenty twenty four.

206
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 8: Yeah.

207
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 9: So yeah, that's really all we have recorded for a

208
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,480
full length and we have a single called Blah Blah

209
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,399
Blah that we released in July of this year, which

210
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,840
is only like a minute and a half.

211
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,039
Speaker 8: Oh really yeah yeah, yeah, so we have.

212
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 9: That full length album in that single, and hopefully we'll

213
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,879
be back in the studio this winter. Oh Reward our

214
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,879
second album.

215
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 8: Oh excellent, excellent. Yeah. Yeah, I was talking with in

216
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:48,720
the first hour we had the band Rivia, who were

217
00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:50,759
in the UK. They joined us via WhatsApp, and I

218
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:53,240
was telling them about how in this where we are,

219
00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:55,759
at least in the Northeast here in the US, a

220
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:59,080
lot of bands kind of take winter to record because yeah,

221
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:02,879
that's the worst time to go out and play shows winter.

222
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,519
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, nobody wants to come out. There's parking bands.

223
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's fun. Yeah.

224
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,399
Speaker 9: Yeah.

225
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 8: Did your father get to hear a orda baby?

226
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:12,919
Speaker 4: He did?

227
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 9: He actually played lead guitar on it, No kidding, him

228
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,919
playing lead guitar and background vocals with me.

229
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 8: That's so cool.

230
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,879
Speaker 9: He came in the studio, he was well enough to

231
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,240
do that. We really just wanted to do it as

232
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,320
a tribute to him because he wasn't well at the time.

233
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:30,559
And yeah, he laid down like the meanest guitar solo

234
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:33,759
I think on that record. Yeah, no events to you, Brian,

235
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,879
You're so amazing too. But oh my gosh, that every

236
00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:38,240
time I hear it, it just gives.

237
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,759
Speaker 8: Me chills take no kidding, really yeah, wow, so good.

238
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:45,879
Speaker 9: He was just the best, and and he got to

239
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:47,759
hear it before he passed as a mix as well.

240
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 8: So oh that's great. Yeah, that's good.

241
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:51,039
Speaker 7: Is that.

242
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 8: So obviously? You know growing up with your dad who

243
00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:57,480
is a musician, Is that what? What why you became

244
00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:58,039
a musician?

245
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:58,399
Speaker 1: Yeah?

246
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 9: I started out playing farfeza organ in his band they

247
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,279
were called the Pontiffs, when I was fourteen years old,

248
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:08,440
no kidding. Yeah, so I joined his band in nineteen

249
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,639
ninety eight and that was kind of like my introduction

250
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,200
to the music wow Portland. Outside of always hearing music

251
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:18,320
in my house and growing up playing I played classical

252
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,120
violin growing up. Okay, yeah, I've always like having a

253
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,519
dad who is basically a encyclopedia of knowledge for music

254
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:30,480
was really helpful to like introduce me to all different

255
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,679
genres and writers and styles and no doubt.

256
00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah that's school. Yeah yeah. What about you, Brian,

257
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:38,320
did you grow up in a musical family or.

258
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 10: Kind of My mom kind of met my dad by

259
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,039
playing guitar on an air force base. Oh no kidding,

260
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,759
and then I kind of got my musical talent from her,

261
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,639
but she used to play guitar at home sometimes. Oh

262
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,919
but it wasn't until like high school that I started playing,

263
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,440
like learning guitar and figuring out what I wanted to

264
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,639
do with music and stuff.

265
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,279
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, oh excellent. Did did you play in bands

266
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,240
prior to Euphemia or yeah?

267
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,759
Speaker 10: A few local bands in Portland. I've been playing, wow

268
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:17,919
since like two thousand and one. Okay, really here and

269
00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:21,279
there bands the fall kind of dissolved at this point,

270
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,080
but yeah.

271
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah. What's what's the scene like in there currently?

272
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,679
In terms of venues? Are there a lot of places

273
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:27,879
to play original music?

274
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 9: There are a few places to play.

275
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 8: Because I feel like just my impression is just from

276
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,320
like talking to bands like Vices think for example, that

277
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:39,480
does not. Unfortunately, right now there's not as many original

278
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:42,600
places to play as there used to be true everywhere,

279
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:43,360
but yeah.

280
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,159
Speaker 9: You're right, you're right there, there's a few. There's always

281
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:51,720
a couple of staples that we play at that the

282
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:55,000
owners are always great. We're so grateful they let us

283
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,000
play there because it's very hard to to ask for

284
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:02,480
gigs around por if you're not established. Yeah, but bands

285
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,480
that are up and coming, how do you get established

286
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,240
if no one will let you.

287
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,759
Speaker 8: Play, right, exactly. Yeah, that's always the it's.

288
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:09,639
Speaker 9: Kind of a catch twenty two. So we're really grateful

289
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:11,639
that we kind of have a little bit of notoriety now.

290
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:14,000
So it's nice. Hard to get gigs and people are

291
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:16,600
asking us to play, So it's that's good. That's really nice.

292
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:18,879
Speaker 8: Yeahah, yeah, I mean it's kind of like the way

293
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:20,720
I've always thought of it is, you know, it's like

294
00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:23,039
just trying to get over that hump of when you

295
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,039
get to the point where people are asking you to play,

296
00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:27,879
you know, and you still got to you still got

297
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,720
to do the work of getting you know, in a

298
00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:32,279
new places and stuff. But once you but once you

299
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,039
get over that hump where you know not not every

300
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,279
show is one that you're begging for, but you're people

301
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:38,879
are actually coming to you saying, hey, can you you

302
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,720
know you want to play this?

303
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,559
Speaker 9: That's the speech.

304
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah exactly. I think we should play

305
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,080
another track from the album what uh what should we

306
00:15:47,159 --> 00:15:52,120
play next? Let's play Magic Magic? I like that one.

307
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,639

00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:58,120
minute forty six. Great song though. I like all these

00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Pigcat Studios, Okay, and it's over by the Riverside area

334
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:28,079
of Portland, Okay.

335
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, And how did you come to work work with him?

336
00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:34,720
Because there's so many You know, what's funny is, if

337
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:36,960
you go back ten years or even twenty years, a

338
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,359
lot of people were predicting the end of the recording studio,

339
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,279
you know what I mean, because you can record at

340
00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:43,559
home now and there's so many different ways to record

341
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,960
and the technology. It's amazing what you can do, you know,

342
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:50,240
on your own as far as recording now. But recording

343
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:53,920
studios are still thriving and there's a lot of them.

344
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,759
I know in the Portland area there must be a ton.

345
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,559
So how did you come to work with what was

346
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:00,720
his name again, Scott Webers? Got Weber. How did you

347
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:01,480
come to work with him?

348
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:03,599
Speaker 9: I let Brian take the lead because he's friends with him.

349
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,559
Speaker 8: Oh okay, perfect.

350
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,319
Speaker 10: We were in a band together called four Player co Op. Okay, Tim,

351
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:11,720
his brother was in the band with us for a

352
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:15,000
long time, and then eventually Scott joined and we used

353
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,920
to rehearse in that studio that they recorded. So yeah,

354
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,960
when we came time to record, I was like, hey,

355
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:25,200
I know a guy, so yeah, oh that's cool. Yeah,

356
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:28,680
because you know, I mean situations where it you know,

357
00:19:28,759 --> 00:19:30,240
it ends up. You know, I know a guy that

358
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:34,480
doesn't always work out great, but in this case it

359
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:37,000
certainly did it because the album sounds fantastic.

360
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:37,319
Speaker 8: Yeah.

361
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, he was great, and we recorded it in like

362
00:19:39,599 --> 00:19:42,200
two and a half days. It was like a Friday

363
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:42,839
through a Sunday.

364
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:43,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's amazing.

365
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,799
Speaker 9: Yeah, we went back in to do like I was

366
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,160
sick at the time when we recorded, so yeah, I

367
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:50,599
had to go back in and do vocals like at

368
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,880
a different time for most of them. Yeah, Aora we

369
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,759
did on the first day and we kept it one take.

370
00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:57,079
Speaker 8: Oh wow, that's awesome.

371
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 10: Yeah.

372
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 9: But yeah, no, it is like he's super efficient with everything. Yeah,

373
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:04,720
and it just it took me a long time with

374
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:05,799
the mixing because I'm.

375
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 8: Just really picky, but really yeah, yeah.

376
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:10,599
Speaker 9: But yeah, no, he was amazing and we can't wait

377
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,440
to work with him again.

378
00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:11,759
Speaker 8: Yeah.

379
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 9: He also plays drums for East End Redemption and records

380
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,839
them at his studio too, and they're fantastic.

381
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,799
Speaker 8: Oh okay yeah, okay yeah yeah. And then what's the

382
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,759
live situation? Like we talked about venues, but I mean

383
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:26,559
how like are you playing out a lot in Portland?

384
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:27,559
Do you get out of that area?

385
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 9: But we have been Yeah, we we've been getting out

386
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,359
of Portland more this year. I would say good. We

387
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,920
played in Dover for Vices fast for advices, ain't put on?

388
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 8: Yep?

389
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:40,319
Speaker 9: And we played or else do we play? We played

390
00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:43,759
in Lewiston at their Arts center that they live there.

391
00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:44,720
That was really cool.

392
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 8: Yeah. And Boston good good, yeah, yep, excellent. Yeah. I

393
00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:53,680
would think with your sound, I mean there's there's a

394
00:20:53,759 --> 00:20:56,240
lot of that would open up a lot of opportunities

395
00:20:56,279 --> 00:21:00,240
because it's very you know, it's accessible, you know, it's yeah. Oh.

396
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,200
Mike Hill from Charlie shill Is in The Chatterman says

397
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,759
we love original music on the Hill. Have you played

398
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:08,920
Charlie Shill. We have not Yeah, we Jenny and I

399
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,279
have not been there, but we hear about it constantly.

400
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:14,119
Apparently it's a pretty amazing venue. So and and I

401
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,880
think I think we're gonna get Mike on the show

402
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,720
soon too, because someone else was suggesting we get we

403
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:22,720
get Mike on from Charlie Hill. But are there are

404
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,359
there other bands in the I mean, I don't know.

405
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,759
Do you play with Vices Inc? On a Sometimes bands

406
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:29,359
kind of team up, you know, it happens organically. You

407
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,519
just end up playing a lot of shows. Do you

408
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:32,519
play a lot of shows with Vice's Inc. Or a lot?

409
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 9: We've played a couple and yeah, we try. We used

410
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,920
to play with kind of the same bands all the time,

411
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,680
and now I kind of made it a rule like

412
00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:45,079
the past two years, like I wanted to just play

413
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,599
with a different band on every bill, like different like

414
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,319
different lineups, just because you get to see a different show,

415
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,640
make different connections, you know, just see what else is

416
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,680
out there exactly, and you know, it's just it's fun

417
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,119
for the audience to hear a different lineup too.

418
00:21:59,359 --> 00:21:59,559
Speaker 8: Yeah.

419
00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:02,079
Speaker 9: Oh, we have our favorites for sure, but.

420
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well let's all let's play another track.

00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:09,519
What should we play? I wanted to do wop?

422
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,599
Speaker 9: Yeah, Bryan is a great solo in that.

428
00:22:24,519 --> 00:22:25,799
And this is called do wop song.

429
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: Oh, just something that full of song.

430
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 12: That it's a word about getting a close.

431
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 4: They bring it down, No day bring me down. No

432
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:31,480

Speaker 12: Some then too, we're bun get in.

436
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 8: That is called do wop song. The band is Euphemia,

437
00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:45,519
and we've got two members of Euphemia here with us

438
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,039
in studio. We have Gina and Brian is here and

439
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,640
uh yeah, she was right. That is a great solo.

440
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,839
Speaker 10: Brian, Oh, okay.

441
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 9: Every time.

442
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's you know, it's it's just very melodic

443
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,279
and it's you know, you're not like shredding or anything.

444
00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:03,759
You're just playing a really good it's just really yeah,

445
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:07,720
it's just beautiful. Is that I'm curious about your influences

446
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:08,839
as a guitar player.

447
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 10: I kind of grew up playing Green Day. I grew

448
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,920
up in the nineties, so like, yeah, that was a

449
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,799
big proponent for me. Yeah, saying like I want to

450
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,119
do that. Yeah, but I also kind of used to

451
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,599
jam on like Metallica songs and stuff like that when

452
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,160
I was a kid.

453
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, she seemed probably shred if you want to

454
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:30,960
right a little bit. But on a song like that,

455
00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:32,880
I mean, what you did is just so perfect, you know,

456
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,559
because a lot of people, you know, guitar players, they

457
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,680
like to show off, but you're just doing it's a

458
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,559
pretty straightforward melody. But it's so it's just so perfect.

459
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,079
Speaker 10: Well, thank you. Yeah, yeah, I try. I try and

460
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,279
write for the song.

461
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:43,839
Speaker 8: Yeah.

462
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 10: I try not to do too much, like I guess,

463
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:47,839
like canodling.

464
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly exactly.

465
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 10: I don't. I don't like to show off too much,

466
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:53,720
I guess.

467
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,799
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, no, it works, It definitely works. I'm curious

468
00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:59,279
to gena about you like your influences as a singer.

469
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,839
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, they're all over the place. When I

470
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,720
was very little, I loved Mariah Carey. She's my girl.

471
00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:10,279
That got me started. Yeah, and then Joan jet I

472
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:14,599
had to James John Lennon, my little Ackerman from The Descendants,

473
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,680
Paul Westerberg. I really love that rasp they have, you know. Yeah,

474
00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:22,279
so yeah, I have like a very wide range of

475
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:22,960
people I like.

476
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 8: Right right, no doubt.

477
00:26:25,319 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 12: So what are they?

478
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,839
Speaker 8: I mean, are you thinking about the are you thinking

479
00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:31,559
about the next album already? Or what's done of the future.

480
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:32,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have.

481
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 9: I'm almost done writing the album. There's maybe like two

482
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:38,519
more songs I need to write for it, but we've

483
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:40,720
been in the process of working out the songs this

484
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,279
past year. We play a few of them live, a

485
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,119
few new songs live. So yeah, we're hoping like midwinter

486
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:49,759
to go in and record hopefully, Okay, we'll.

487
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,279
Speaker 8: Be done with it and then similar similar vibe or

488
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:54,720
similar vibe.

489
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 12: Yeah.

490
00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 9: I would say the songs are pretty much the same

491
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,400
in terms of length subject. It's a little different because

492
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:05,000
with the Euphemia songs, those were written over a period

493
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:07,799
of my life, ranging from like twenty one to thirty

494
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,599
four and now I'm forty one. So this next album

495
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:15,920
is all from the past couple of years. Okay, you know,

496
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,000
so it's it's a lot more. Uh, I don't want

497
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,599
to say mature, because I'm not like a pretentious person.

498
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,759
But you know, theme wise, there's been a lot more

499
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,880
complexities of my life over the past few years than

500
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,039
there have previously.

501
00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, no doubt. Yeah, you probably started a family and yeah, yeah,

502
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,680
all that kind of thing. So yeah, now that makes sense. Yeah,

503
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,119
you know, and it's important to evolve. I mean, if

504
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,960
you don't, if you don't evolve, you get bored. Right,

505
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,200
If you get bored, then you're not doing anything very

506
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:46,759
much of value, if you're just you know, rehashing the

507
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:48,319
same the same territory.

508
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, right, And I think on this one we're going

509
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,240
to do a little bit more instrumentation to Like I've

510
00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:59,240
been talking with this incredibly talented woman who plays violin

511
00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:02,640
named me. She's awesome, and she asked if we'd want

512
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,119
to collaborate. Ever, so I've been kind of writing in

513
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,240
terms of thinking about that and having her in the studio,

514
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,880
and I kind of want to bring my far Visa

515
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,160
organ back and play on that.

516
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,279
Speaker 8: Oh okay, a.

517
00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:17,079
Speaker 9: Couple of tracks, So yeah, tell what kind of organ

518
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,559
is it. It's a far Feza organ.

519
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 8: So what I've heard the term, but I don't know,

520
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:22,920
like what what makes an organ a far visa organ.

521
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,319
Speaker 9: So it basically it's run by like a panel of flutes. Okay,

522
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,839
a certain sound and the more flutes you put out

523
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:32,119
is like a This kind of sounds like a swell.

524
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,200
Think about those sixties garage organs, like in question Mark

525
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,559
and the Mysterians, or like a great band from Boston,

526
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:43,480
the Lyars, Like how they use that sound. It's like

527
00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:45,960
if it's from nineteen sixty nine. So it's like a

528
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:47,480
very old school sounding.

529
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 8: Is it like the kind they using churches?

530
00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:49,599
Speaker 1: No?

531
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 9: No, No, it's like a it's like a keyboard, but

532
00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:55,640
it has like legs that you put on and stand up.

533
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,960
They're really heavy. They're like oha as much as I do.

534
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,000
But yeah, and it's it just looks like a keyboard.

535
00:29:02,079 --> 00:29:04,480
But it's just like sounds like it has like a

536
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,920
I don't know how to describe it, like a like

537
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,880
a trill on it. Okay, like yeah, okay, yeah, okay,

538
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,440
sixties garage down vibra.

539
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 8: Interesting okay, Okay, Yeah, I'm curious. I'd heard the term

540
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,119
far visa. Yeah, I've heard that before, but I wasn't

541
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:23,200
sure what that was exactly. Yeah, to play the organ

542
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,440
a little bit when I was a kid too, so

543
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:26,599
I was curious about that. I didn't keep up with that.

544
00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:30,200
But no, very good. So you're gonna kind of introduce

545
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:31,000
that more into the.

546
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, it'd be cool to put that on something or

547
00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:35,680
like some kind of rock and roll piano of some sort. Yeah,

548
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,000
it's like, yeah, it's I can't sing and play at

549
00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:40,359
the same time and not as coordinated as my band bids.

550
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 8: Well you think you can, but you probably, I'm sure

551
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,119
you could learn.

552
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I could easily do that in the studio,

553
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,240
though I don't have to do that.

554
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, but if you But then if you do that,

555
00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:51,440
will it be important to you to be able to

556
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,119
replicate that live or or.

557
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:56,079
Speaker 9: Not necessarily it be a different experience.

558
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,799
Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah, which is cool, you know, because a

559
00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:00,599
lot of people they want to It's like, oh, anything

560
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,880
we do in the studio, we have to be able

561
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,680
to replicate live exactly. And my attitude about that has

562
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,440
always been, why if if you can't replicate it live,

563
00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:11,559
so then an element is missing, then live you just

564
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,119
have a more kind of a raw, stripped down sound.

565
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:17,440
What's wrong with that? Sometimes that's sometimes that's better, you

566
00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:20,039
know what I mean. That's how I've always felt about it,

567
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:22,559
but but a lot of people are. They're very particular

568
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:24,400
about well, we have to be able to sound exactly

569
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,400
like we did on the record.

570
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,079
Speaker 9: It's like they're two different experiences in my mind.

571
00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:33,079
Speaker 8: Exactly, yeah, exactly. Well, let's let's play another Oh yeah,

572
00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:35,079
we have time, let's play another one. Of course we

573
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,640
have time. They're so short, we'll probably have time to

574
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,359
get a couple more. But I would like to play

575
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:42,519
another track from the album. But yeah, I'll let you

576
00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:44,480
both pick. What what should we go with next?

577
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 9: How about love Love?

578
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:47,559
Speaker 8: Okay?

579
00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 10: Yeah?

580
00:30:48,319 --> 00:30:50,119
Speaker 8: Anything we should know about this one before we play

581
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:51,839
it or not?

582
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 9: Really, it's a I think it's like mutually our favorite song.

583
00:30:57,119 --> 00:30:59,039
Speaker 10: It's one of the most fun ones I think.

584
00:30:59,079 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 8: So yeah, yeah, yes, all right, cool, let's give this

585
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,000
a spend. If you're just joining us. We have two

We have Gina and Bram from the band here with

611
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,720
us in studio. And yeah, Gina, you were saying off

612
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:05,240
air while that was playing, you kind of wanted it

613
00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:07,039
to have like you wanted the drums and the guitar

614
00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:08,519
to go together and go kind of give it a

615
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:09,880
little bit of a Zeppelin vibe.

616
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, like that stomp you feel.

617
00:34:11,559 --> 00:34:14,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, Yeah, I think that one's my favorite. Actually, that's

618
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:18,480
that's that's really good. That's really good. Yeah, is here

619
00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:20,280
with us live? I learned how to say it and

620
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,719
I'm stumbling on it now. But they are here with

621
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,920
us live in studio. And have you made any videos

622
00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:27,519
for for any of these songs.

623
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 9: Or we haven't purposely made any videos?

624
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 4: We want to.

625
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:36,039
Speaker 9: One of our friends made a video of us from

626
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,920
a show we did at a festival. Yeah, kind of

627
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,000
put it together for us. He's like a professional videographer

628
00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:44,920
and kind of just surprised us with one. So there

629
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:48,440
is one out there's a song rock show. Okay, but

630
00:34:48,559 --> 00:34:51,639
we haven't like intentionally made any yet. We want to. Yeah,

631
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:52,800
it'll be working with him.

632
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, excellent. Actually, have you have you done multiple

633
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,840
festivals or what? What's uh?

634
00:34:58,960 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 9: We've done three?

635
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:03,639
Speaker 8: You've done three? Yeah that's great. No, I say all

636
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,400
the time. Festivals are the best opportunity because you not

637
00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:09,920
only does it get you in front of fans, potential

638
00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:12,000
new fans who might not be familiar with you, but

639
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:14,760
the but also it gets you in front of industry people.

640
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,679
You know, you meet people at the networking opportunities at

641
00:35:17,679 --> 00:35:21,800
a festival are unparalleled. Yeah yeah, so yeah, that's great. Yeah, yeah,

642
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:23,599
what what what festivals have you done?

643
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 9: We did Gold Rocks, which was a festival that USM

644
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,159
and Maine put on. Okay, summer, end of the summer,

645

Speaker 8: Oh Vices Yeah, yeah, yea, oh fantastic, Yeah good good.

648
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,079
Did you meet like Vices Fest? Did you meet a

649
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:48,039
lot of bands there who who you were not already

650
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:48,559
familiar with?

651
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,519
Speaker 9: Or yeah, I don't think we knew any of the bands, Okay,

652
00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:55,039
for maybe we knew Troll and we knew Vices, and

653
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:57,559
we knew Plague Dad, but yeah, and a couple of

654
00:35:57,599 --> 00:35:59,599
our other friends on other days that played there. But

655
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:02,559
other than that, we didn't know any of the other bands.

656
00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:07,519
Speaker 8: So that must have been cool. Yeah, we had you know,

657
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,599
Vices inc. Obviously they've been on a few times. But

658
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,960
we had Jagger on. I did. There's a separate podcast

659
00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:16,679
version of the show that we do sometimes if like

660
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,480
I did one with Jagger where it was just he

661
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:20,320
and I on the podcast version because it was a

662
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,320
situation where we didn't have any room to get him

663
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,840
on on this version. We were booked up, but it

664
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,239
was right before vices Fest, so we did the podcast

665
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,280
just like almost like an emergency podcast, like a last

666
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,719
minute think about vices Fest, and it was just all

667
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,760
about vices Fest. And I told him, I said, it

668
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,239
amazes me. I think I said this to him too

669
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,039
the night Jenny and I saw them at Bad Burger

670
00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:45,440
recently a few weeks ago. It just to put on

671
00:36:45,559 --> 00:36:49,039
a festival like that, and and to be able to

672
00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:53,400
do that without getting, you know, just almost on the

673
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,440
verge of a nervous breakdown, because that's a lot of uh,

674
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,599
you know, I used to I don't really do it anymore.

675
00:36:58,599 --> 00:37:00,960
I used to promote live shows, you know, and even

676
00:37:01,039 --> 00:37:03,440
just doing a night somewhere with with you know, three

677
00:37:03,559 --> 00:37:06,199
or four bands can be challenging in some ways, you know.

678
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:08,840
So to do Vices fast, I mean that's a huge

679
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,079
undertaking when you look at the lineup. Yeah, of bands

680
00:37:12,119 --> 00:37:15,199
on that over three days. And man, I mean he

681
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,280
handles it well obviously, because you know, he told me,

682
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,440
because I said to him, I said, how do you

683
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:20,760
do that without losing your mind?

684
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:21,039
Speaker 1: You know?

685
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 8: And yeah, you know, but apparently he's very organized and

686
00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:26,320
he knows what he's doing. So I commend him. But

687
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,920
that's more than I would want to take on its undertaking.

688
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 9: I wouldn't want to do it either I'm usually in

689
00:37:31,519 --> 00:37:34,199
charge of booking our shows yep, or being a part

690
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,199
of it in some way, and that's always Yeah, for

691
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,679
the most part, it's okay, but it can be a headache.

692
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,519
So I can't imagine dealing with like thirty bands oh

693
00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:45,280
yeah for three days and you know, but they ran

694
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,000
a very tight ship, yeah while we were there, and

695
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:51,840
everything was organized and shared equipment, so that made it easier.

696
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 8: So everything I've heard has been overwhelmingly positive. It sounds

697
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,880
like like nothing, nothing major went wrong, you know, and

698
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,400
just everything went pretty smooth from what I hear and

699
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,280
from what he's told me. And that's so that's great.

700
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,800
I'm just kind of in awe of that. And I

701
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,320
know he's doing another one next year, so it just

702
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,159
keeps going.

703
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 9: Tops to him. Yeah, yeah, cool dude.

704
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,039
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, Yeah, And we love Vices inc. You

705
00:38:16,159 --> 00:38:18,039
kind of you remind me your vocals. You remind me

706
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:20,480
a little bit of Eleanor Oh really, I think so, yeah,

707
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,079
I mean, you know, like you're distinguishable, but but kind of,

708
00:38:26,519 --> 00:38:27,960
I don't know, kind of the vibe on some of

709
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,519
these songs, the way you sing it kind of reminds

710
00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:30,199
me of her a little bit.

711
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 9: Oh, wow, thank you. I mean she's got a great voice,

712
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:32,760
so I'll take that.

713
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:37,159
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, oh yeah, no, you both do. Absolutely. What

714
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,000
should people know? We have time, we'll sneak in one

715
00:38:40,039 --> 00:38:42,280

716
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,000
about where to find you online? Like, where's the best

717
00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:45,920
