1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,359
Speaker 1: There it is. I love it. That is such a

2
00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:05,400
great track, piece of view. The band is Rivia And

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,439
let's see. I know we've got members of the band

4
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:11,160
on the line. Let's see who we've got. Welcome everybody,

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,119
can you hear me? Oh, it's always such a relief

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,000
when this works. You know, these international calls don't always

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,480
go as planned. Welcome to the show, Welcome back, I

8
00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:22,440
should say. I know you've been on before, but it's

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,920
been a while since we've talked. Uh, who do we have?

10
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:26,600
Who do we have with us from the band?

11
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:28,879
Speaker 2: Full house, all of us?

12
00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: Oh?

13
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: Nice, nice, wonderful. So how are things, Uh, how are

14
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,320
things going over there? Says what did we talk last?

15
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,039
It's been a few months, right, I think we talked

16
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:41,359
after the release of Fallen. Was the last time we

17
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:42,679
had you on? Correct?

18
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,679
Speaker 2: Yeah? That was a July definitely in the year, wasn't it.

19
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, loads of gigs spinning the studio, festivals, stock.

20
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,439
Speaker 1: Too, wonderful, wonderful, So you had to you had a

21
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:00,000
busy summer.

22
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 5: It sounds like, hell, yeah, it's been it's been great.

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Outstanding, outstanding. Tell me about tell me about festivals. What

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,480
what festivals have you done? Because I always say festivals

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,280
are such a fantastic opportunity for for bands, especially younger

26
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,480
new bands like you, new were bands like you, because

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,159
not only does it get you in front of audiences,

28
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:24,519
large audiences that might not otherwise come across you, but

29
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:28,280
it's also such a fantastic networking opportunity too. You know,

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,680
you get in front of new fans, but you also

31
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:32,000
get in front of of people in the industry and

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,280
and other artists that you might work with in the

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,280
future or have worked with in the past. Even But

34
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:39,239
what what are some of the festivals that y'all did

35
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:40,319
this past summer.

36
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: We've done a couple.

37
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 6: I mean, the most most memorable for us is because

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,000
we made a weekend out at Isle of Wight Festival.

39
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:52,000
So we'll drive down hop on the ferry and then

40
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:54,400
head into Islow eight and that was a full weekend,

41
00:01:55,359 --> 00:02:00,000
well just all of it, but the all weekend. Yeah,

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,159
we brought some posters down with us and just meeting

43
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:03,959
a loads of people and chatting about the band and

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,039
just made it really personal to no seeing them come

45
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,400
down to the show and never even there of us,

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,080
and then they just meet us with a post say

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,039
come to our show, please come We got some.

48
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: Nice messages after that as well, people, and we've had

49
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,919
a few comments on things on YouTube and stuff saying,

50
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,080
you know, like this was a really nice thank you

51
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:23,599
for coming and saying all those us was so glad

52
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,639
we caught your set and stuff.

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it goes to show that that human interactions still

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,719
goes a long way, like oh, definitely.

55
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: That's a yeah. And that's a good reminder too, because

56
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:40,319
as Ai continues to uh to take hold of you know, especially,

57
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,199
I mean, it affects everything, but it certainly is effecting

58
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,240
the music industry. So uh, that's a good thing to

59
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,599
remind people about the importance of human interaction, especially when

60
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:50,560
it comes to music or any kind of art that

61
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:53,680
you're making. How does a piece of you must go

62
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:55,759
over really well live? I would imagine the song's got

63
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,039
such a great energy about it. I just love it

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,759
so much. How does that go over? How does that

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,479
go over live? Because I would imagine, I mean, do

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,159
you do you open or close your set with it?

67
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:06,759
Or where do you put it in the set?

68
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:08,879
Speaker 5: It's usually second, doesn't it?

69
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? Seconds?

70
00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 6: And then it's it's a little bit heavier than some

71
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:14,560
of the other stuff that we've done. So we before

72
00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:18,280
we were unsure on how it will go down, but

73
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,400
the reaction to it's been really good so far.

74
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: It's made mistake. Should we just go a bit heavy? Right? Right?

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,199
Speaker 5: Gets the people.

76
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: Going like it is a little more aggressive than the

77
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,439
other songs. But I love it. I love it. There's

78
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,479
almost this is you know what I hear? What I

79
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,919
hear in that song. There's almost like a sort of

80
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:42,639
a desperation to it and and earnestness maybe that's a

81
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,879
better word. Who wrote that? Who in the bed did

82
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:47,560
you all write that together? Or who wrote the song?

83
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:54,199
Speaker 4: So the the instruments are a team effort, like everyone

84
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,159
puts the bits on it, and Matt and my hello.

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 5: Wrote the lyrics for it.

86
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: And for me, it's basically like sort of it's about

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,560
about getting revenge basically, but but knowing and being aware

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,280
enough to know that it's not the right thing to do. Yeah,

89
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:17,959
So it's it's tackling trying to tackle the sort of

90
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,560
thoughts and the feelings that you get when you've been

91
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,720
wronged and you want to you want to get revenge

92
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:26,000
on people who've done done you wrong, but you know

93
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,839
better effectively and just trying to trying to grapple with

94
00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:32,759
that and trying to move forward with that. And like

95
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:34,920
I've I've been on a bit of a journey personally

96
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:37,680
of trying to look after myself a little bit more

97
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,000
and trying to trying to live life a little bit

98
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,000
healthier and things like that and be a bit more positive.

99
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,600
So it's really sort of it's a it's a it's

100
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,519
a time capsual for me lyrically, and in that respect.

101
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's I think it's really good and

102
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:55,399
I think that you know, the theme that you just described,

103
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:57,839
I think is universal. I think we've all had moments

104
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,839
like that, situations where you know what you're thinking about,

105
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,079
you know, trying to get revenge on somebody, and you know,

106
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,920
as you get older, you learn you know, really the

107
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,639
best revenge is living well and being successful. But but

108
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,360
but we certainly have, we certainly have those situations occur,

109
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,480
no doubt, no doubt. Now what what what is the

110
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,959
what is the plan? I mean, you know, you've released

111
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:21,759
some great singles and I think I think one of you,

112
00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:24,560
at the start of our conversation said something about being

113
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,439
in the studio. Are you working on an album or

114
00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:28,839
do you have another single? You're working on or what's

115
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,959
kind of the future plan.

116
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: So we have we have another one sort of in

117
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,560
the chamber, ready ready to fire, and then we're going

118
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,959
we're going back in the studio on Monday actually to

119
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,639
do another one to follow that up, and then if

120
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,399
all goes well, next year, I think we'd really like

121
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:52,240
to do an album. I feel like we're at that

122
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,439
sort of point as a band where we kind of

123
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,839
want to do that, but it's just a case of

124
00:05:57,879 --> 00:05:58,959
whether we can make it happen.

125
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the time, the time tying, I love to oh.

126
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:07,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. I you know, I'm old enough

127
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:10,680
to remember when it was you know, you release an

128
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,399
album and then first single goes to radio six eight

129
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:15,560
weeks before the album comes out, and then if everything

130
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,160
goes well, you know, you release the album, and then

131
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,399
if everything goes well, you get a second single and

132
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:21,720
and maybe a third single and so forth. But today

133
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,240
there's so many different ways to release music, and yeah,

134
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,680
a lot of the guests that we have on the

135
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,160
show in these times are are just doing a series

136
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,560
of singles and just kind of seeing which does keep

137
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,439
you well engaged, you know, in terms of the algorithms

138
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,279
with social media and whatnot if you're you know, because

139
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:40,959
you release, if you release an album, you know, you

140
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,399
get that big bump from that, and then you don't

141
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:48,279
necessarily depending on what happens after that, you don't necessarily

142
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:50,240
get get a lot of traction on social media. But

143
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,959
releasing a series of singles and maybe when you do,

144
00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:55,199
if the goal is to do an album, will the

145
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,959
singles Maybe I haven't thought this far ahead, but I'll

146
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,160
just ask you, will the singles that you've released so

147
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:01,800
far be a part of that album or will the

148
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,120
will the album be a completely separate thing? Do you think?

149
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: And I think there might be one or two that

150
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,959
have to be Yeah, Yeah, there something that we have

151
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,639
talked about re recording and the like.

152
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's tunes that we've.

153
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,079
Speaker 3: Got in the set that we've had for years that

154
00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:19,720
we would like. We've always said that's going on the album.

155
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,319
Speaker 4: They've sort of as we've played them over the years,

156
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,839
they've they've evolved into not new songs.

157
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:27,279
Speaker 5: But they're definitely.

158
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:32,439
Speaker 4: And they're sort of different in their versions and and

159
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,920
how we sort of play them. And Yeah, the standard

160
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:37,680
that we're right now as a band, we'd love to

161
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,800
sort of get back in the studio and redo them

162
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,360
and do them to the standard that that we could

163
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,319
do them to now would be really cool.

164
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: That makes sense. And to be able to do them

165
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,879
too with the current lineup, right, because Rush, you've been

166
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:52,279
in the band for a while just you joined this

167
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,399
year correct.

168
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I joined like kind of towards the end of April,

169
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:02,000
so what like sexally seven months, so it's fairly recent. Well,

170
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,160
it feels like I've been here forever.

171
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:09,079
Speaker 1: That's good, that's good. Yeah.

172
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,319
Speaker 3: It was a funny moment where because we said we'll

173
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,360
do like a little trial period Shaw we get on

174
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:15,839
you know, for all Joe and that, and then we

175
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,480
came to the end of that trial period and basically

176
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,040
like Rush came in and went, so, are we gonna

177
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,560
have a discussion about you know, like being being in

178
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,519
the band and stuff, And we just went, oh, we thought.

179
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: You were in.

180
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 7: Plan And I was like, you know, it's the trials

181
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,559
coming to and they're like, okay, break it up and

182
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:40,159
be like, you know.

183
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:40,519
Speaker 4: What am I in?

184
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: We're still in trial. Didn't realize.

185
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny, But that's how you know it's a

186
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:50,679
good fit, right when when some of you didn't even

187
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:52,879
you know, give it another thought. It was just like, oh, yeah,

188
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:55,279
this makes sense, and then but it's good.

189
00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:58,519
Speaker 2: That was the big giveaway for us. Now we were like, yeah,

190
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,879
definitely the one.

191
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's excellent. That's excellent going into I mean

192
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,519
now that we're jeez, I can't believe it's already almost

193
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,759
the end of October? Are you? Are you still playing

194
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:11,799
a lot of shows? As I know in the United States,

195
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,200
a lot of a lot of bands, they kind of

196
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:16,720
they don't go into hibernation. They're still working, but they

197
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,320
kind of use, at least in this part of the

198
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,840
country where it gets cold in the winter, they kind

199
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,519
of use winter time to maybe focus more on recording

200
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,279
because traveling isn't so great when it's snowing and icy out.

201
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,080
But I mean, what, what's kind of your plan? Are

202
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,480
you still playing a lot of shows now? Do you

203
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,799
plan to play through the winter or I don't even

204
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:35,720
know what the winter is like exactly where you are.

205
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not it's not great. It's definitely wet.

206
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 6: Ye've got a couple to see us out, But that's

207
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,279
the plan for those as well, to be honest, do

208
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:49,440
some bits behind the scenes and they out again next year.

209
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,879
So we've got two Liverpool shows, you know, one on

210
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,080
Halloween which will all go in this pilots.

211
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want we want everyone to everyone.

212
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 6: Rib Crews taking a nice and we've got there on

213
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,279
the sixth of December as well, which was really good,

214
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,919
really good line up on that. So we're looking forward

215
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,279
to that and you know, who knows something some might

216
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:11,799
come our way.

217
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,399
Speaker 2: I don't know.

218
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 6: I was just squeeze in there, but at the moment

219
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:16,559
definitely slowed down a little bit.

220
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we want to focus only on writing

221
00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:21,360
for next year.

222
00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent. Oh by the way too, I wanted to

223
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:26,080
circle back to a piece of you for a moment.

224
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,519
I wanted to ask about the video because I love

225
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,080
the video. It's really really cool. I like that. I

226
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,120
really dig the whole aesthetic of it, and and I

227
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:37,279
was just curious if that was something that you all

228
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,000
did on your own, or if you worked with with somebody,

229
00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:42,679
or how did the video come about.

230
00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was quite funny.

231
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 6: It was just kind of yeah, yeah, it was kind

232
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:55,559
of it was just an idea that come to us

233
00:10:55,639 --> 00:10:57,759
and we went, what's the best and cheapest way we

234
00:10:57,759 --> 00:10:58,240
can do this?

235
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it ended up being Matt in the alley.

236
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,039
Speaker 6: We're holding the hose pipe over his head on the

237
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,399
waterfall mode and one of.

238
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,519
Speaker 2: Us fell in with it and that was it and

239
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:13,240
stick it in black and White's good to go.

240
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: Well, you can't see behind the cameras me and was

241
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:18,360
in suits because we just come from where Yeah he's

242
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,039
old pipe molding the camera and.

243
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:28,159
Speaker 5: Post just laughing at me while I'm shivering. End right,

244
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,279
it's a good idea for like shark time called dragons

245
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,840
then no warm hose pipes.

246
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,919
Speaker 1: Well, if you go down, I mean, if you can,

247
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,559
if you can come up with something that that is cheap,

248
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,559
you know, but but still looks cool, then you've got

249
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,159
something right, you know what I mean.

250
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,399
Speaker 2: That's some really good some good feedback.

251
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:49,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

252
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, videos cost us a few quids.

253
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 5: Yeah that was maybe three pounds.

254
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: There you go. Oh you've also got this is cool too,

255
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:04,600

00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 6: Can't remember the exact location, but it's a really cool spot.

291
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: A radio station, a podcast.

292
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 8: Mm hmmm, so we were we were on the podcast

293
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,320
where we had a good, good shot for a good

294
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,279
forty five minutes.

295
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of tubes, Yeah, good luck with them.

296
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Very nice, very nice.

297
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 4: So what.

298
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: I know I've asked you this question before the last

299
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,960
time we talked, but for were listeners, are people who

300
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,639
aren't familiar with you tell us about the name? I'm

301
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:06,159
sure this is probably you probably hate this question because

302
00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:08,080
you probably get asked this question every single day of

303
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,919
your lives. But what does that? What does Rivia mean?

304
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 4: It's it's from It's from the Witcher if if you

305
00:14:17,759 --> 00:14:20,200
know what that is. It's a it was a series

306
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,200
of books that got turned into video games that's now

307
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:28,759
a crappy Netflix show. Yeah, and basically the main guy

308
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:30,360
and it's called Garrels of Rivia.

309
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 8: And when we were when we were making the band,

310
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,240
I really I fell in love with this character. Basically,

311
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,600
I just thought he was the coolest dude ever. And

312
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:40,639
I was like, Riva is a really cool name. And

313
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:42,840
then I was like, are there any other bands called Rivia?

314
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:44,399
Speaker 5: And look through the.

315
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,799
Speaker 8: Fire Instagram like every sort of music thing you can find,

316
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,159
and there was no bands called Rivia, so we were like, well,

317
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:57,320
that's that's a good start. The rarely condensed version of

318
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,919
the story is he's in the sort of books. He's

319
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,639
not actually from there. He sort of goes there and

320
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:05,799
he saves them and they accept him.

321
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: And I thought it was.

322
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:10,399
Speaker 8: Really cool, the idea of like, it doesn't matter where

323
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,799
you come from, it's what you do that defines who

324
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:13,080
you are.

325
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I like that. I like that very much. That

326
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:20,919
is that's excellent. So what is now? What's kind of

327
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:23,759
the short term? Do you do you have where's your

328
00:15:23,919 --> 00:15:27,200
Obviously we're in the United States, but we have listeners everywhere.

329
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,399
When is when is your next show? When do you

330
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,320
do you have anything this weekend that you're doing that

331
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,840
you're playing?

332
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:41,480

Speaker 2: Like, yeah, well, it's just it's.

369
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 7: So important today, Like it's just a massive part of

370
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,359
the music industry and I so.

371
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,319
Speaker 1: Right right because you're you're doing it all yourselves too, right,

372
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,359
You're or do you have a label that you work

373
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,440
with or is this all the I y, that's all

374
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,920
the warm one. Yeah, that's what.

375
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 6: We've got managers of management engineering from. We believe that

376
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,480
love those guys the bits. In terms of social media, yeah,

377
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:34,279
that's unfortunately just.

378
00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: Well unfortunately in the sense that it's a lot of work, right,

379
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,680
but fortunately in the sense that that gives you maximum control,

380
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,400
total control really over what you're putting out there and

381
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,680
in terms of your image and everything, and that that

382
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,519
can be that can be a wonderful thing to have

383
00:17:50,599 --> 00:17:52,640
that kind of autonomy. So that's that's.

384
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a bit more personal for social media now.

385
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,880
That's kind of like we talk, isn't it.

386
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,079
Speaker 1: Yeah.

387
00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: We used to really struggle with like what what should

388
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:00,480
we put off?

389
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 3: And then we've realized we put it everyone, so yeah,

390
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,079
ourselves exactly.

391
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,319
Speaker 1: It's it's easy to overthink it, but once you once

392
00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:12,079
you realize you know your fans, they just want engagement.

393
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:14,680
So whatever you can put out there, you know, and

394
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,160
and uh and if they don't like it, whatever, they'll

395
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,359
ignore it. But if they do like it, then uh great,

396
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,759
you know, then you've you've created that engagement that is

397
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:25,079
absolutely critical to being successful in the music industry today.

398
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,359
So uh so, yeah, absolutely, I commend you on that. Well, listen,
